Eric blew it by blowing up Pat at half time. :rolleyes:

I want at least one more Super Bowl win to tie the Donkos & Faiders. I’m tired of hearing how they have more.

I’m confident we’ll win another before either of them

Makes a big difference...the two KC teams winning championships within five years takes away the snake-bit feeling there used to be.

this loss set up what could be a brand new experience for us as chiefs fans - winning an afc championship game on the road

just thinking about that makes me smile

life is about experiences

Eh bout the same. I don't really look at losses and think "eh, we won a Superbowl in 2019, so it doesn't matter" cause losses still do matter and they still hurt at times. The difference is that I know we always have a chance even if we aren't a top seed whereas before, a loss in seed would have been a great deal.

Also, I have always enjoyed wins and hated losses no matter the ultimate outcome of the season. It's so weird to me that people hated the Alex Smith years just because ultimately we lost in the playoffs. Idk, regular season wins were still very much fun for me back then too. Just as they are now.

Anybody who has followed this team the past several years and is now out on the ledge should be pushed

How often do we lose to the dregs of the league?

And you cite ‘injuries’ as a reasonable excuse. If we have Butker, do we lose that Colts game?

If we have Fisher and Schwartz, do we lose that Super Bowl?

If the Dolphins don’t miraculously beat the Patriots in week 17 of 2019, do we win the SB without home field advantage and a bye?

My strong belief is you ascribe more superiority than luck to our wins and vice versa for our losses. And with that, you’re likely to be perpetually disappointed by anything less than the peak of a SB.

This cannot go by without comment.

Maybe you missed it, but BEFORE Mahomes, the entirety of the CP consensus FOR DECADES was that any NFL franchise season that did not result in a SB was a complete waste of time.

And now that we actually have a reason to expect the SB, you want to change the entire culture of the fanbase to 'hey, it's just fun to watch.'

This has long been my problem, it seems like a lot of Chiefs fans don't even LIKE FB as an entire endeavor. They like a QB skills challenge. Playing the entire game doesn't really matter, achievement doesn't really matter, they're actually just there for neat looking pass plays.

That's not deriding quality QB play, it's a necessity in today's league. But I like the sport, and part of that is seeing everyone doing their job toward a common goal and high achievement. I can watch neat throws on Tik-Tok or at the Pro-Bowl. I watch NFL football for NFL football reasons.

I saw the first as the first of several. Now I’m worried that this could end up being a Rodgers situation. The road’s only getting tougher.

I guess the alternative is to become a Bills fan... and they only lost 9-6 to the Jags last season.

Or a Packers team with 2 SBs in 30 years of franchise QBs who lost to the Jets this week.

Or maybe... :shrug:

Yeah, this is a 'you' problem in that these narratives never actually happened. You continuously stretch out arguments to these insane levels hyperbole when in fact the Chiefs were a ****ing embarrassment for decades and most fans simply wanted to not be a ****ing embarrassment.

Jets look legit good. Young though which will screw them up but they will give Buffalo some fits.

The journey is the destination. I just enjoy the games each week and don't worry about HFA or media opinions. That stuff makes each game seem critical and for me takes the fun out of it. Accept the L and move on to next week.

Life is challenging enough without turning entertainment into stress.

The Chiefs are 15th in defensive DVOA this year, 24th last year, 22nd in 2020, 14th in 2019, and 27th in 2018.

Mahomes has never once had a good defense behind him in his career.
