What is a Chief Fan's # 1 priority - Page 2

crazycoffey · 12-30-2006, 04:44 PM

I got off on a rant and was inspired to start this thread topic. I said then that I stand behind CP and Herm that we could be doing a lot worse than what they have done for us to date.

My question is what should be my #1 priority as a Chiefs fan, at least according to the negative nancy's of this BB.

Should it be the playoffs? How about the Superbowl?

I contend that a fan's #1 priority should be a winning record and here is why;

Simply put, look at the odds. The mindset that we should have a playoff or a superbowl bid as a main goal in a season is the same mindset that has led to the success of many a casino owner in Vegas. It's just not the odds you should be focused on.

Two 16 team conferences to two superbowl bids is to far against the odds to hold that as my #1 goal for my Chiefs. Period.

With six playoff bids for a 16 team conference the odds get better, but this is very close to 2/3 of the conference not making the playoffs, again, the odds. If you know more than 60% of the coin flips are going to me on a head to head match up, why would you bet against yourself?? And then complain that you didn't beat me?

If you agree with me, let me know. If you don't try and make a better argument for a different theory.

I don't think you are getting my point, yes our ultimate goal for the chiefs is to win the superbowl, but that's not what I was asking about to start this thread conversation.

so yes I understood your point just fine.

To bitch about his/her team.

CoMoChief · 12-30-2006, 05:22 PM

Let's see we haven't won a championship in 30 yrs, what would your #1 priority be? Do we need to paint a picture for you?

Yeah I know, Im not a player, but I have the same #1 priority. No, its not the end of the world if we dont get there but some progress would be nice. Working towards that goal would be nice. To be content with a 9-7 season is not what sports is about.

again I didn't ask about the players perspective, nor about being content, I ask about our number 1 priority as fans, hopefully to get some of the negative comments off this site and hopefully promote some positive comments.

I also realize that this is like overcoming the odds for the playoffs this year, but at least I am trying

Allright, the #1 priority as fans right now should be... to be as negative and loud about our displeasure with the team and organization as we can be. Afterall that is all we can do at this point.

HAHA, Good one, give you partial credit. But not full credit, because what good does it do you?

oaklandhater · 12-30-2006, 06:00 PM

My # 1 priority would be to have some bad seasons so we can get some decent drafts.

That what we thought after DVs first year too...

There is one Super Bowl champ. Everyone else in the league are losers. Every last one of them. Second place is the first loser in my book.

If you make moves with winning next week in mind you'll never win it all unless that next week is the Super Bowl. Period. In football or in life. If you ran your career by how much your very next paycheck was going to be you're going to wind up underneath a bus. You have to see the goal, formulate a plan that will get you there over time, and then go and achieve it.

Carl's plan was supposed to be over what, 9 years ago now?
