I just think people are delusional and believe what they want to believe...I am optimistic, but I am realistically optimistic...

Last year, from DAY FRIGGIN' ONE, I wanted them to start the season with Huard, watch us fall to 1-3 with that ridiculous schedule, and then give the reigns over to Croyle for the "easy" stretch...

My feelings were modified after we shocked San Diego and after I watched Croyle in the preseason...and that's only because I legitimately felt the Chiefs had a chance to win the "weak" AFC West...which, IMO, is better than 4-12 even if we don't win a Super Bowl...

However, we choked the Green Bay game away big time (we win that game and LJ stays healthy, I truly believe we push San Diego for the division), lost LJ and proceeded to fold and then I think we pretty much tanked it from there on out...

And I'm happy about it, because now we have Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Charles, Cottam, Morgan, Franklin and Carr to be excited about...and in addition to Croyle, Bowe, DJ, Page and Pollard that's a pretty good young nucleus to start building around...and we have so much cap room for when these guys are ready we can buy a big time player like Julius Peppers (or whatever free agent end will be available) to push us over the edge when need be...or we can stick to building and adding through the draft...

You and me are in the same boat. Same reasons for Huard starting and all. I too am an eternally optimistic fan. How could you be anything less? To each his own, but it would ruin the game for me.
