I think that the way we made the playoffs was good.
(apologies for the poorly written thread title)
Listening to the reports from Herm's presser today, it made me think that we're in a good place, mentally, going in.
Look at week 6, we were 2-3 going into the SD game, after an 0-2 start, the team got fired up, rallied to win three in a row, and, after a stumble at Miami, beat OAK and DEN. to end up 7-4. Then the news was that Chiefs were hot. Then we lost three in a row.
It almost seems like when we get too confident, we let up. We owned it in 2003 with our 9-0 start and homefield through the playoffs. Then we got beat. This year, we lost three games on the road we thought we'd win: Pitt, Mia & Cle.
But I'm almost more interested in this team and their frame of mind now.
I bet we'll be fired up by the lack of respect, and there are a lot of guys for whom this may be their last chance in the red and gold. Plus, new guys like DJ, Jared, Tamba, Page, Pollard, who are in there for the first time or who missed out for a couple of years, I think they'll be really pumped.
GO CHIEFS!!!!
