The SB Hangover: Do the Chiefs experience it?

[CoMoChief]

I know nobody wants to think about this. But is this possible?

Or does Mahomes/Reid and overall team chemistry factor in too big of a blockade for something like that to happen?

Does this season all things considered provide the Chiefs an advantage since they're not going through any regime changes, coordinator changes, QB changes, etc. They're returning 20/22 starters. The rookies may be behind a little but the majority of the team, mainly the important impact players, all know the system, playbook, language, etc. A team that does have to go through that is going to need that extra OTA, training camp time etc. Not saying the Chiefs don't need it too, but they can probably get by with picking up where they left off and go from there and not skip a beat IMO.

History hasn't been too kind to the team that's won the SB the previous season. Hope the Chiefs can overcome that bad luck mojo much like they did the Madden curse.

No. The leadership on this team is just too good.

Andy, Pat, Landlord, Clark

These guys are not going to let that shit happen

This.

Have you been watching our guys training and pushing each other.

It's amazing

They are focused and hungry. They are far above and ahead a lot of other teams in making another run. They know their systems.

Agreed. I really do believe this virus works in our favor for sure. Doesn't allow these guys to go on a national "ball washing tour" given to them by the major media outlets and network talk shows directly and indirectly getting all "full of themselves" and inadvertently losing focus and hunger. You see it a lot except you never saw it with the Pats(as much as I hate the Pats, I do respect how they move on from the SB wins). Bellichek's No.1 rule coming back to camp after winning a SB, there is no talking about the previous year PERIOD. And that's the way it should be.

I usually think of the SB loser when it comes to the hangover. It is amazing to me how often we see the loser not even make the playoffs the next season.

Chiefs will be fine. So much continuity and hunger still.

It's very possible we go deep into the schedule chasing the Dolphins undefeated season. This is our time and will be for awhille.

[Mile High Mania]

I doubt it, they're young enough and still hungry. If KC were an older team, maybe.

Winning back-to-back is super hard. Even in their dynasty, the Patriots only did it once.

I predict that we'll be a top team and be favored to win it all, but just like this past year, you need some luck to swing your way to actually win it.

Of course, this past year we had plenty of bad luck too. Just look at all the injuries to key players. Every team has injuries, but not every team loses their QB for 3 games, their best WR for 6 (I think) games, their LT for half the season, multiple key DL throughout the year, etc.
