This should be interesting. Chip Kelly hired as Raiders Offensive Coordinator

[Draconator]

Good college success. Can this finally translate to the NFL?

 

 

[Charles Romes]

Good - chiefs have to roster a few players just for the system. 

[Kirby Jackson]

Damn, Chip and Knowles both left.

[Real McClappy]

Interesting mix honestly with a Defense HC and ex Offense HC.

[GunnerBill]

Who is playing Quarterback? Nick Foles?

With Pete Carroll as coach and Chip Kelly as OC, you have to trust that the Raiders will find a way to be competent/competitive. 

 

Using next year's Super Bowl odds, the Chiefs will face:

 

#2 Ravens (home)

#3 Bills (road)

#4 Eagles (home)

#5 Lions (home)

#6 Commanders (home)

#10 Chargers (home)

#10 Chargers (road)

#12 Broncos (home)

#12 Broncos (road)

#13 Texans (home)

#14 Cowboys (road)

 

Throw in a few games against the potentially competitive Raiders, who historically play them semi tough, and that is a schedule that will prevent them from earning the #1 seed in my opinion. The whole AFC West is likely drawing dead by virtue of playing each other.

 

With the AFC East still pretty weak, the Bills have a very clear path to the #1 seed in 2025.

Pats are gonna be a force if Maye takes the leap in year 2. Vrable is a great coach and they have over $100M+ in cap space. We should still win the division but it won't be a given like it was in years past.

They'll make a jump for sure, but probably to league average at best and likely worse.  

[T.E.]

His offense was pretty cool to watch his first year in Philly.

Normally I agree, but Washington this year definitely made it well past league average.  I'm not sure about Drake Maye, but its possible.

It will be a given next year. Pats aren't competing until 2027.

 

That roster is devoid of talent and it will take care more cap space than they have to bring in enough UFAs to shore them up.

 

That's likely a 6-7 win team at best next year.

Offensive coordinator is exactly where Chip needs to be.  

 

They should be aiming to move up to #4 (Patriots) and hope Sanders or Ward fall to them.

One good draft and a solid free agent class and they leapfrog Buffalo as far as overall talent. We still have Josh Allen but they will compete for the division

That’s what happens when you win a Natty.

They will definitely take a step back...14-3

[TheFunPolice]

Hopefully that division will make it harder for KC to get that #1 seed

 

Chip had a decent start in Philly though, didn't he? Things went downhill when he tried a power play

With teams running the ball more, it's probably a better fit for Kelly now than when he took over the Eagles.

Interesting.

 

Brady owns the Raiders and Foles owns Brady.

Wow. The Raiders could be interesting if they find a QB.
