2008 Red Zone Forecast:AFC WEST
Posted by jannelle on September 4, 2008
1. 
Chargers
Well, it seems as if Norv Turner woke up. At the tail end of last season, it looks like he realized what he had. I see the trend continuing. The defense is a very talented and tough bunch, and LT will continue to be the dominant forse that he is. I can see this team returning to the AFC championship game
2008 Projected finsih 13-3
2. 
Raiders
Oakland is pretty much second by default. Look for rookie Darren McFadden to make an immediate impact on offense. Defensively, acquiring DeAngelo Hall from Atlanta is a smart risk. However, they are still eons away from the playoffs.
2008 projected finish: 8-8
3. 
Broncos
2008 is going to be a challenging season for Jay Cutler. In the offseason, he was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes and he lost his favorite target in Rod Smith. On the field the pressure remains on Cutler and the defense.
2008 Projected Finish: 8-8
4. 
Chiefs
Larry Johnson and Rookie DE Glenn Dorsey are the only bright spots here. If Kansas City only had some receivers and a reliable QB, they would be at least decent.
2008 Projected Finish: 4-12
