"This is as good as it gets."
I'm shamelessly re-posting this here, but it's just a post from a guy on reddit. I know some won't like it, but I think it's good to have a reminder that THIS IS WHY WE WATCH FOOTBALL. I hope everyone's enjoying the ride regardless of what happens in January.

Some of you will take great issue with this post and that's fine but something someone else said really set me off and made me need to write this.

This is as good as it gets.

If you are going to be an NFL fan, our current position is the best you should ever reasonably expect.

Almost certainly in the playoffs, still a chance at #1 and certainly a chance at #2. The opportunity to watch rivalry games with our families on Christmas and New Years.

On average, teams score 1.9 points per drive. And yet many of us express rage when a third down catch is dropped.

The last five Super Bowl champs have, on average, lost 5 games in the regular season. And yet many of us express rage when we lose one game to a good team.

Of the 32 current teams, 4 have never been to a Super Bowl. 13 have never won a Super Bowl. The Vikings and Bills each went to four and lost all of them. 4 teams haven't been to the playoffs in 12+ years.

10 teams - one third of the league - has not won a playoff game in 11+ years.

Half of the league hasn't won a playoff game in 5+ years

I don't know what seed we'll get. I don't know if we'll win a playoff game. I don't know if we'll make or even win the Super Bowl.

But the feeling most of us have right now of constant excitement, the memories we're creating with our families and fellow fans - this is all there is to this.

A lot of people on this sub and as sports fans in general take this attitude of "I expect championships, that's the only point." And I really do get that. But that is the kind of attitude we should each have for our own lives - to strive to be our best selves.

When you're instead referring to a team you've arbitrarily chosen to support who play an arbitrary game for your amusement - saying that you demand performance from people and situations you have zero control of is a path to perpetual disappointment.

I hope that come New Years day no matter where we stand - in or out, #1 or not - all of you enjoy this feeling, all of you make new Chiefs memories, and all of you see that this is why we're fans.

Sorry, i don't judge my self worth on a damn sporting event. It has zero impact on my life. It's a partially scripted diversion.

If we're resorting to miracle wishes (ah - the life of being a fan of a team with Alex Whiff at QB) - you might as well wish for the next great franchise QB, that way you'll have 10-15 good shots over the next couple decades. And the chances of landing one, while short, are still better than the amount of luck and special teams miracles it'd take for this team to go all the way.

Yeah, but nothing can take away that 'playoff contender' feeling we get some years.
