Hell, I still think if they'd gotten by Indy in '03 they'd have beaten New England. But we'll never know.

Maybe there's a ghost that needs to be exorcised, is all I'm saying.

Yeah, The 'monkey on the back' thing...like Philly's 'getting over the hump' this year.

Dude, 8-8?

Somebody slap this ****er!

I don't care what today's fan expects. They pay for 8 football games and they get 8 football games. They don't pay for guaranteed Superbowl victories.

I'm sorry, but this is a line of sh*t.

When I pay for a round of golf, I expect more than 18 holes in the ground. When I pay for a hamburger, I expect it to not taste like crap. I buy products with a certain expectation of quality. I also believe that the green fees at Pebble beach should get me a nicer course than the local goat trail.

I'm paying to watch football games at the highest level. Part of my expectation is that the team I pay to support puts forth maximum effort to give me a quality product. Just like my favorite golf course, I realize that not everything is completely predictable, but I also know the difference between dry conditions due to a drought, and dry conditions due to trying to save money on the water bill.

I'm not saying that I believe the FO is intentionally losing or doesn't care. But I do believe that they have played the safe route with mediocre results for long enough that it's time to take a risk. Chiefs fans are smart enough to recognize that the offense we currently have is not something that comes along often. We've had 15 years of making sure the boat floats, now it's time to set sail, even if we have to rock the boat to do it.

Not to be nit-picky, but fans pay for 10 games a year, not 8 ...

well, except for "true" fans -- they don't want to give any more money to that cheapass Lamar Hunt. Only fans that don't care about winning would do such a thing.

The Chiefs aren't living up to your expectations. Why do you continue to eat the hamburger from McCarl's and play golf at Arrowhead CC?
