I asked him why not and he told me, that he would prefer to not have to fight the traffic, fight the crowds, pay 6 bucks for a size small hot chocolate, have me pay money to watch them get beat, lose their number one seed and lose the West. The fan in me told him that was unlikely to happen, his response was to me was, the Chiefs don't have any defense and when they are losing in the fourth, Patrick Moholmes can't always do everything. The long and short of it all, my son is smarter than I, and the Chiefs organization will be facing the real threat of losing a severe numbered fan base with the next generation. Evidently, many of his close friends in school feel the same way. I know that there will be tough loses in any season, but the miracle offense as shown over the last 5 weeks, can't do everything. Chiefs have lost 3 out of their last 5 games. It's wake up time for somebody, as we all know, that is no way to enter the playoff's. I don't know how many more 1 and done's or 2 and through's I can take. I feel like a Chicago Cub's fan, in that the year I pass, they will win the whole thing. Unfortunately for the rest of KC Fans, I don't plan on checking out for a long while, unless it is by a heart attach from watching my beloved Chiefs play defense

Tell him to cheer up, there's a pretty good chance we win the Chiefs v. Raider show. And there's a lot of good that comes from going to a game, from the tailgate to celebrating a victory, it's time with the son/dad, and that's irreplaceable,
And there's nothing that proves your fanhood more than actually showing up... You know there's a lesson in that too. Some year it'll be our year (maybe), and when it is, for those of us who are local, it'll be nice to say we were there. Even if we have to deal with crushing losses like the one against Manning and the Colts, and against the Titans, and so many other gut wrenching losses that few other franchises have had to deal with in terms of numbers, when it happens I hope it's sweet.
