It may be close, but I don't think it will be THAT close.

So question George......

Is this is the worst Arrowhead atmosphere you have ever seen? I was just a kid back in the 80s, but i dont remember fan apathy and anger being quite as bad as this season.

Well, you can't really compare the two eras exactly side by side.

I think in the 1980's, there were fewer Chiefs fans, and the general feeling was apathy. Also, usually the team would finish just good enough to draft mid-pack. They'd go 6-10, or 7-9, etc etc etc, so they would perpetuate their mediocrity. The problem is, it was like that for an entire decade.

Now with social media, and the 24 hour news cycle, and sports talk radio, the intensity of the spotlight is more intense. Also, the cost of the tickets are much higher now than then. So the commitment a season ticket holder must make, in terms of dollars, is much higher now than then. Back then, tickets were $16 a game for a great seat. Now, my seats are around $125 each. So the bite it takes out of your pocketbook stings a lot more.

The Blackout was great and easy to see on TV. I was explaining what was going on to the various fans from different teams around me at the bar and a few even heard about it. That's pretty impressive!

Your review is spot on. No accountability and a team that is just like the crap we had in the 80's, probably worse.

Being a Chiefs fan in Kansas City area at least you have each other for consoling one another after a loss. I however grew up on the Jersey Shore and was completely alone in my misery all the years growing up. :deevee:

I think the only thing worse than being you would be living in Oakland as a Chiefs fan! :banghead:

Another stat that was very telling from yesterday. KC was a combined 1 for 12 on third and fourth down. That is on Brian Daboll.

There is definitely a blueprint to success on this... the first few steps/days are crucial.

Good write up again.
I am just suprised you don't write 1-10 = Chiefs Suck!
