How Patrick Mahomes is saving one of the league's most loyal, but jaded, fanbases
https://sports.yahoo.com/patrick-mah...213946967.html

Fantastic article by Terez Paylor

Decades of frustration losing to elite QBs
Prior to moving to Kansas City in 2006, I had little understanding of the scars that had been left on Chiefs fans. As a Lions fan, I’d put my wounds up against anyone’s, and Detroit hadn’t gone 0-16 by then — that would come two years later.

But over the past 12 years, I’ve gained a serious appreciation for everything Chiefs fans have been through. That Super Bowl victory? It came in January 1970. You know who wasn’t even born then? Patrick Mahomes’ father, Pat Mahomes, who was born in August of that year.

So yeah, whatever Super Bowl grace period the Chiefs got from their fans has long expired. Fans who, by the way, have stayed unbelievably loyal along the way. Despite being in one of the NFL’s smallest markets, the Chiefs are consistently among the league’s best in attendance. Their payoff for that has been null and void, as the list of playoff horrors inflicted upon the Chiefs by opposing franchise quarterbacks over the past 25 years is borderline sadistic, like a football version from the mind of Eli Roth.

The Chiefs were one of the winningest team of the 1990s, only to see their good fortune immediately run out — Wile E. Coyote-style — immediately upon entering the playoffs.

Why Monday’s performance was so critical
His killer performance in the regular-season finale against Denver last December only heightened anticipation. And while some rushed to say that wasn’t indicative of what he could do as a quarterback, what Mahomes accomplished through the first three games of the season — 66 completion percentage, 944 yards, 13 touchdowns, zero interceptions — was enough to vault him into the early discussion for league MVP.

Then came Monday night, a prime-time showdown against an AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos. Many rushed to call this the perfect setting for a coming-out party or coronation, but what the Chiefs really needed was an exorcism.

For 16 seasons, this was the place where Chiefs fans were tortured by a gunslinger, a man had an obscene arm and made unfair throws and had a knack for bringing his team back late.

Blowing 20+ point leads in the playoffs. The home playoff losses were huge gut punches.

We don’t get to switch teams because our team sucks. That’s not how being a fan works. We just have to hope that someday in the future we will reach the promised land.

I’m convinced that Mahomes is going to get us there. Not this year but soon. Our time is a coming.

It was a really good article other than the cheap shot comparison to the Broncos' mediocre quarterback. Patrick Mahomes II is an elite quarterback. He's in the realm of Marino and Unitas and Montana, not Stan Humphries and John Elway and Marc Wilson.

One of the coolest Chiefs articles I've EVER read...

It's unbelievable what Mahomes has done for this fanbase already!

Only if we go 13-3. Otherwise, we should be fine.

12-4 + bye happened too.

We need to go 14-2 or better. That's the ticket.

13-3 is kryptonite for the entire AFC, not just the Chiefs. Nobody has ever conquered it completely, not even Elway, Manning, or Brady.

No need to put any limits on.

As I noted at the time, had smith been injured instead of Kelce, we win that game in a laugher. This season has proven that.
