Chiefs Am I the only one here that still wants the Chiefs to win some games this season? - Page 7

Dr. Johnny Fever · 09-13-2011, 09:23 PM

I know I'm just The Royals fan so what do I know... that's fine. I also know the loss of Moeaki and Berry is really damaging so hopes are down. We stunk in week 1 so if we can't beat or even be competitive with the Bills at home what hope do we have...?

I know a lot of people want Andrew Luck... I'd like to see a QB like that in KC too. But I'm not ready to tank the season after one week in hopes that we get the top pick.... THEN actually take him.

This team won the division last year. We added some talent... maybe not enough depth. But the team is young and SHOULD get better. If we can't compete because of the loss of one guy on each side of the ball then I'd guess we weren't nearly as good as we thought last year. Yes... easy schedule... so what. You can only win the games you play. Yes this year the schedule is hard... so what. Rising teams should get better.

Cassel isn't great... Haley went full reerun in pre-season... I get it.

I'm just wondering if most of you guys/gals have really given up already or if the talk here since Sunday is more of a coping mechanism.

Feel free to say stfu baseball fan... just honestly on my mind.

The Royals were still good up to 1989. Unfortunately the A's were unstoppable then.

How shitty it was in MLB back then, Royals had the second best record in baseball and didn't make the playoffs. Same thing in 1993 with San Francisco and Atlanta.

At least most of the board is well past denial.

Thank God for the wild card now... even though we haven't qualified for that yet since.

1994 we would have made the playoffs if it wasn't for the strike. Not to mention our pitching staff would have made some noise in the playoffs - Appier, Cone, and Gordon.

Things lost. Luckily for me I actually believe my Royals are going to make waves and compete for the playoffs next year once we have some more starting pitching.

Super bowl winner of course.....

1st pick in the draft(especially now that contracts aren't insane).

Look I'd love t see the team win out, but you know what, I don't want wins, I want championships. Until the chiefs get a franchise QB we're not winning a championship, that's not a maybe, it's a statistic for how the game is played today.

Yes. I would MUCH rather KC be like Carolina and not like that shitty team in Pittsburgh. I mean, the Steelers NEVER pick first.. they suck!

Chiefs fans are so defeatist.

Thank you. I am not liking this growing idea that Haley and Cassel are linked together. If you want to say that his offseason decision calls for a firing, fine. I don't agree but whatever, atleast thats something Haley did.

All the stuff about Haley having lost the team, or Haley forcing Weiss out, its all assumptions made by people who had their minds made up prior to the "news". I don't know if he lost the team or not, but I didn't really see it Sunday. I just saw a team that wasn't prepared, gave the ball away, lost a HUGE player, and got down early. Have an offense not built to come back, and you get a blow out.

Rinse, repeat.

This. I am as down as I have been after 1 game in the season. Atleast going into crappy seasons you knew. I wasn't expecting a trip to the AFC Championship, but I was hoping we could fight for the Division. All things combined tough to have hope. THAT being said, going to be rooting for them to win on Sunday. If we get to the point where the season is officically lost, then I might start thinking about the draft. Too far away.

I'll be cheering for the Chiefs every week this year. But if/when they lose, I won't be getting too down about it. Maybe those 3 years from '07-'09 desensitized me to losing, but I don't get nearly as down about losing as I used to. Or maybe it's that I finally saw the writing on the wall that Cassel won't ever lead us to a SB and it'll take a shit season to get rid of him. Either way, I'm not gunna worry too much about a crap Chiefs season, because I think/hope it'll help fix a lot of things that have been wrong with this franchise for a long time (lack of a stud QB, not spending the money they have to get some quality depth, etc.). If it turns out to be a great season, that's fine. But after seeing our game vs. Buffalo and looking at the schedule, I just don't see this team winning many games. I've accepted it and hope for a brighter future.

Micjones · 09-14-2011, 03:14 AM

I definitely still want and expect to see them win.
The FO can't fold the tent here. Shit happens...do your best to mitigate the damage and press forward.

Pasta Little Brioni · 09-14-2011, 07:33 AM

After burying RedThat, now we have more reeruns popping up wanting to lose out and it's suddenly OK.

I wanted the Chiefs to win every game since I've been a fan, even during the Herm years, I'll do the same this year and every year after. **** rooting for a higher draft pick, things don't always work out the way you want them to.

Yep, let's see how they handle adversity. If they have the attitude of many of the posters here, yes it will be an ugly season.

The one time in recent history that they picked in the top 10, they picked a franchise QB. Seemed to work out okay for them.

durtyrute · 09-14-2011, 07:53 AM

Of course I want them to win. I want to kick every teams ass 50-0 every year for the rest of my life, but yeah........
