I'm a part of the former but I understand the latter. Either way, this season isn't going to settle the debate. So just enjoy the ride for the time being and understand that this season isn't an all-or-none proposition.

I didn't have an issue losing to NE or LA. We went down swinging. Just as I didn't mind our playoff losses to Pitt or NE... it frustrated the hell out of me, but we were simply outmatched. I hope Mahomes can take us deep into the playoffs but if we lose this way... there's always next year.

The Indy, Tenn, SD loss will always sting me in a different way because I will never like when we play not to lose instead of playing to win. We had no business losing any of those games.
