Chiefs We DESERVE to be in these motherfriggen playoffs! - Page 2

**TinyEvel** · 01-03-2011, 08:23 PM

I’m getting tired of hearing all these fans throwing a pity party for themselves over the Oakland game. I understand it sucked. I’m pissed about the loss too. I hate Oakland as much, if not more than, the average Chiefs fan. I hand out my fair share of angry feedback and non-enthused conversation at work on the day after a loss.

But we are in the playoffs! This is a good time for us Chiefs fans. We’ve suffered through the Herm Years, the LJ and Huard and Thigpen failures. For the first time in -- how long? -- we’ve got an RB and receiver going to the Pro Bowl, and our team is leading in stats other than negative ones.

And to those saying this team is a fraud: WTF? We won the division! Are you saying we shouldn’t be granted a seat at the playoff table? Should they have given it to San Diego, who didn’t win as many games as we did “but are a better team, just had a few bad games” or maybe give it to Oakland who were 6-0 in the division but 2-8 everywhere else?
We are the most improved team in the NFL, and we deserve to be in these playoffs. Calling this team a fraud is just trying to make yourself look smart with hindsight vision, and trying to capitalize off an emotional loss to get attention.
It’s like calling the Dow Jones a bad investment after it loses 200 in one day. But it eventually bounces back, baby. Mail your focking gold in that envelope to that company on TV and use it to buy a Raiders jersey if you’re so damn disappointed in this “fraud.”

Speaking of that…”fraud?” Did Haley ever say “SuperBowl here we come!” did you see him on TV last week Putting AFCW Champion hats on guys and slapping asses? No. That would be overpromising, overconfident behavior. Fraud-like behavior. He didn’t. And they aren’t. They know they need to keep working and they deserve our support, not our selfish complaining.

But if you want to grumble and gripe and act like that chick’s never gonna give you a BJ cuz she’s too stuck up or too ugly, then go the fock home and beat off in your bathroom. Because this week is for winners. Division winners. Home-field teams. Tough teams. And I am banking on the Chiefs being that team on Sunday.

I’m not even from Kansas City. I’ve never lived there and only been there three times. But this weekend when I’m in the stands I’ll be giving it my all to make some motherfocking noise when Ravens O is on the field and spiritually back my team. We’ve come this far, I’m not going to anticipate failure just because I’m afraid of being disappointed.

Go Chiefs!

We know the talent level, strengths, weaknesses, etc... that wasn't the issue yesterday. The problem was effort.

So, the problem was effort in Oakland, too?

Or maybe we just can't handle Oakland's defensive line.

I thought of that as I typed it, and I know they don't match up well against the Raiders (but I still think effort was the biggest problem yesterday)... and that's just another reason it doesn't have anything to do with next week. The Raiders had the 2nd most sacks in the NFL, and the Ravens had the 3rd lowest total.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I am freaking ecstatic about how this season went, and very excited for the future. But the future isn't now like many seem to think.

**BigMeatballDave** · 01-03-2011, 08:56 PM

Sunday's loss, to me, was a team thinking about the post-season. It was, for all intents and purposes, a meaningless game. Players dont give a flying **** who comes to their house to play.

I wasted my day there, and hell, it's another reason for me not to buy season tickets next year, which I've been leaning towards for a while now.

They aren't going to have a problem with effort next week.

On a related note, I'm tired of hearing about yesterday... OMG, what if the Chiefs play like they did against the Raiders? OMG, the Ravens barely beat the Bengals! WTF, people, can we analyze this week's game based on more than two meaningless week 17 games?

Trust me, I'm taking more than the Oakland loss into consideration here. And there isn't any damn excuse for lack of effort yesterday, the team still had plenty to play for.

Championship caliber teams don't see any game as "meaningless". The Patriots played in a game that was even more meaningless than ours and they didn't mail it in, they pounded the holy **** out of Miami.

Believe me, I have no delusions of grandeur. But, the NFL is funny. The Cards were a hair from winning it.

That's the difference between a good mature team with no distractions and an average immature team with distractions.

That is the absolute, best case scenario we can hope for. Anything else is going to lead to a slaughter this weekend.

we aren't the patriots. we're a young team that's going play above and below itself at times. we've got plenty of veteran leadership and coaching to keep us pointed in the right direction....this is when guys like Vrabel, Jones and Lilja are invaluable.

I don't think we have to worry about them mailing it in this week.

The last part wasn't directed at you... it's just a general 'WTF?' for all the posts linking yesterday's games with the playoff game.

I agree, it was pathetic, and even worse being there surrounded by Raiders fans. Motivation was a big topic before the game, and I wasn't 100% sure if things like wild card seeding, going 8-0 at home, playing in front of 65,000 cold fans, and beating the f***ing Raiders would really motivate the team.... assholes.

**BigMeatballDave** · 01-03-2011, 09:08 PM

I'm confidant the Chiefs wont phone it in Sunday. If they get their ass handed to them, its likely due to the Ravens just being a much better team.
