The 2010 NFL season will kick off soon. My prediction for Chiefs wins/losses this season is 6-10, which I think could prove to be a little on the conservative side. If they underperform this season--given the relatively weak schedule and weak division--I fear that we'll see yet another rebuilding era before we see the playoffs again.

Chiefs fans seem fairly divided this year, which actually may be a good sign. There generally tends to be a consensus; at least among fans who know what they're talking about. This year, however, I've heard some fans go as high as 12-4 and as some as low as 4-12.

Arrowhead Stadium has undergone renovation in the off-season. What I hope, for Chiefs fans, is that we are able to use this to rekindle the Arrowhead magic that waned during the Herm Edwards era. Historically, it hadn't mattered how bad the team was playing, it would still be difficult to beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead; especially in December. The sooner the Arrowhead twelfth man reemerges, the sooner we can stop calling ourselves a rebuilding team. Chicken, meet egg.
