CHIEFS SB DROUGHT RANT
 

With Seattle going to the SB this year, it makes this stat official: EVERY SINGLE AFCW TEAM <i>OTHER</i> THAN THE KC CHIEFS HAS HAD AT LEAST <b>ONE</B> SUPERBOWL APPEARANCE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF CARL PETERSON'S TENURE. :grr:
True, Seattle is now in the NFC, but they were AFCW when Peterson took the wheel.

In the same time period only Detroit and New Orleans have been as pathetic, playoff-wise.

So CP gets a fat new contract? Where do I apply for this job? Requirements: behave like a conceited ass, bray about ticket sales, continually increase parking and ticket prices, denegrate the media and fanbase, get PAID, and worry not about results on the field. Think I could do that for a cool $mil, or four.

I know what you're saying, but I'm reluctant to hang Seattle on Carl. Moving to the NFC improved Seattle's chances of a Super Bowl, IMO. It's become an apples and oranges comparison. Bottom line, Seattle was unable to even win a playoff game when they were in the AFC during Carl's tenure.

Yeah, put the Chiefs in Seattle's division and who knows what could have happened...

Irrelevant. Fact of the matter is they did it!

No excuses are acceptable. This team under CP has FAILED to make a SB. Hell, it has been TWELVE YEARS since we even SNIFFED a SB appearance. :grr:

If the Chiefs were in the NFC we would have made it to multiple SBs (this year and 2003)

Yeah, we fared REAL well against our NFC opponents this year :rolleyes:

carl said himself its more important to have a winning season.

Carl and Lamar's "Super Bowl" is making $$$$$$ and selling out Arrowhead year after year.

Not only that, but an expansion franchise (Carolina) has made it to 3 conference championship games in the last 9 years while KC has 2 playoff appearances total.

1-3 in the NFC this year.

The chiefs had plenty of chances to make the playoffs as an AFC team, for god's sake. When you don't take those chances you can't expect to make the SB.

how many playoffs berths for the Jags.

Um if we were in the NFC we would have also been able to play their shitty teams as well.

NYG, and DAL were good teams in the NFC, Philly when we played them where still good, and we should have won all of those games.

No, that's what Joe Posnanski said what Carl feels takling about how if given the choice of playoff seasons year in and year out with no guarantee of a super bowl or a superbowl but five 4 win seasons after that he would take the playoffs every year and hope to make the superbowl. There wasn't a quote from Carl about that.

Which is exactly my point. They had opportunities to win and didn't. It's this sort of failure that leads to watching the january games from the comfort of your couch, rather than playing in them. If the chiefs couldn't roll the 5th seed, or two teams that didn't make the playoffs, i don't see how they could have matched it with seattle, carolina or chicago. Not on the road, at least.

Conference dominance comes and goes, how long was the NFC's SB streak until the broncos won it?
