Chiefs Has your outlook on Chiefs football changed ever since we won the super bowl?

Titty Meat · 10-16-2022, 08:10 PM

Maybe I'm just getting older but ever since we won the super bowl a few years ago losing hasn't bothered me except for the super bowl loss to the Bucs & the Bengals game for an hour. Before we would lose a regular season game and it would **** my whole day up and I would be on here nearly getting banned.

Did the super bowl victory change anything for you?

TwistedChief · 10-16-2022, 08:14 PM

Oh, for sure.

I really don't think football will ever quite mean the exact same as it did before.

That said, I find myself still getting pretty upset in the heat of the moment when it's dumb mental errors that cost us games. But I recover from all of these much, much faster.

I definitely feel like we got that monkey off our back when we won the Super Bowl.

Since this team is in the playoffs every year, and is looking like they'll be back yet again this year, regular season losses don't bother me nearly as much.

However if we look back in 5 years and we still only have the 1 Super Bowl win, I won't be able to help from thinking we blew some great opportunities.

Ever since the Chiefs drafted Mahomes, I don't get as upset by losses. They will happen however the Chiefs finally spent the draft capital and took the chance to get a player that gives the Chiefs a chance every year. Before, losses would just yank my heart out because I knew that everything had to go right for this team to have a chance.

I’ve seen each of my three favorite teams win a title: Chiefs, Royals, KU Basketball (twice).

I would assume most sports fans don’t get to see all of their teams win a title. There’s normally at least one who just sucks. That’s the Royals for me, but I still have seen them win a World Series.

Any future titles are just house money at this point.

Huge missed opportunity to go to 3 straight Super Bowls. We were the better team and we blew it.

Agreed. That being said, I'm just glad to see a once in a generation type of a QB on the team and winning a Super Bowl, after suffering so many bullshits in the 1990's to 2018.

And all that happened in a 7 year period which is pretty incredible when you think about it.

I don’t care nearly as much, it’s weird. Also torn between if it’s me getting older or just finally having achieved what seemed impossible and being fulfilled.

Still watch every game and enjoy the magic we get get to witness win or lose but I’m no longer deeply emotionally invested. It’s more of a fun distraction like a TV show at its peak.

chiefzilla1501 · 10-16-2022, 08:21 PM

Last year was a good wake up call. Chiefs fans got way too arrogant (myself included) and started talking way too much shit about what a generational team we are. We're a similar team and fans, but the league's competition has gotten better.

We are still one hell of a team and Mahomes' bad performances are way better than the many duffers Rodgers and Brady put up in their entire career. Feel like Chiefs fans have become confident but realistic. That's a good thing. I'd rather that then the end of the world posts after every loss.

What disappoints me more now isn't when we have some struggles on a few drives, it's when we miss opportunities right in front of our face. Even not at our best we should have won today and against Indy. We just need to tighten that shit up for the long haul.

Abba-Dabba · 10-16-2022, 08:21 PM

Made me want more. Lack of disgust towards losing is for losers.

**Rain Man** · 10-16-2022, 08:22 PM

I'm far more placid now. It's a game and entertainment now, as opposed to the universe pounding on me and humiliating me for its own jollies. The universe and I are pals now.

Yeah, these are definitely the good years.

I still have trouble believing that the Royals really won a World Series in 2015. KU and the Chiefs don’t surprise me too much.

scho63 · 10-16-2022, 08:23 PM

I still get very nervous on close games but the anger has long left.

Frustration at times like bad play calling or missed tackles or shitty refs but it doesn't last too long.
