I'll get to some of that in a minute. People…..HELLO, THIS TEAM IS 3-0. They've already won more games than all of last year. They have not lost a road game. I swear to God, there's a pocket of Chiefs fans that will never be happy no matter what. They're the kind of people who would win power ball, and bitch that the winning ticket gave them a paper cut.

Not to play debbie downer in your thread, since there's already one for that... but, out of that group of people, even though some may actually never be happy and do just want to complain, there's also a group who have seen this several times and know how it's always ended.... and to those people, it's not all about going 3-0 (which is nice), it's about making noise in the playoffs, or at least knowing they can make noise in the next year or two with who they have now.
After watching so many games over 20+ years, regular season wins are nice... they're like going to Worlds of Fun and enjoying the view on a nice day from the ferris wheel or riding the Viking Voyager. But, I've been on the Viking Voyager 800 times. I'll still go on it, but riding the Mamba without throwing up at the end would be really fun.
