The Fine Line Between Sports and Life
Forgive me for another post-mortem thread, and ignore/neg rep me if it pisses you off.
I was so disturbed thinking about this today...how connected my fandom of the Chiefs is to my life. I realized this afternoon that I need to find a way...to try to find a way...to not care so much. Honest to God I have felt physically sick from the moment we lost until this point, and probably for awhile longer. All from a football game? A game where I know nobody and don't even play? I guess I feel like the battered spouse who keeps getting kicked in the stomach and yet comes back, dressed in red, waiting for my team to finally love me back. Perspective, man. I could use some. |

Just rewatch Cassel games from last season a few more times, it should help numb you a bit...

Perspective?
This is year one of a brand new regime, and despite a very clear lack of talent in the secondary, they went to the playoffs. It always sucks. I hate it as much as you... but the direction of the team from 12 months ago is on a very different trajectory than the one now. No excuses, but there really IS next year to look forward to. |

How can you be so sure the direction is going be any better? Sure looks good but this IS the Chiefs. Were we in the right direction with Dick Vermeil? Scott Pissoli had us in the playoffs in 2010 people said we were in the right direction then. Yeah until we can win in the playoffs and look good doing it I'm not sold. |

Seasons are not mutually exclusive, but was there a game this year where we were actually outclassed? Where we had no chance of winning? Not on your life. The line between good and great is fine. The offense came to life over the last stretch of the season, the defense faltered... Sutton failed, because once people realized that this defense could only play man, and was weak in zone, pick plays pretty much crippled us. Teams had a whole season of tape on the defense and came to that realization. Teams also had a whole season of tape on the offense and STILL couldn't stop it. That's a GOOD thing. If we decide to stick with the man coverage next year, then atleast we know where were deficient and can improve. |

Oh hell ya, I agree, back when the Raiders got beat up on by the Bucs, People on this forum told me they would rather not even go to the Superbowl if they were gonna lose like that... Bullshit, to win it you have to be in it. |
