My point is that we suck if we have a losing record, and we should try to enjoy the season for what it is..... a game.

So the outcome of an individual game is not determined by statistical probabilities, but a 16 game season is? My point still stands, each season is based on a series of decisions, drafting a player, blitzing a line backer, throwing into double coverage, not random chance. If an organization, over time, makes poor decisions then fans have cause to complain.
Have the Chiefs made poor decisions over time? Sure. The Arizona Cardinals have been to the playoffs more recently than the Chiefs. Much of the complaining on this board is because many feel that the Chiefs are not improving. The Chiefs have consistently finished with a winning (more than 8 wins) record, but have not improved upon that.
Many board members, myself included, believe accepting the status quo is not acceptable, in sports and in life. You asked another poster if he was a "loser" because he didn't make the most money at his job. I would posit that current status is not nearly as important as direction. Did the person get a raise last year, did he get that promotion, is he continuing to try to improve himself and build on success? An organization that is improving is better than one that has accepted mediocrity as an acceptable status quo.
