"This is as good as it gets."
I'm shamelessly re-posting this here, but it's just a post from a guy on reddit. I know some won't like it, but I think it's good to have a reminder that THIS IS WHY WE WATCH FOOTBALL. I hope everyone's enjoying the ride regardless of what happens in January.

-----

https://www.reddit.com/r/KansasCityC...od_as_it_gets/

Some of you will take great issue with this post and that's fine but something someone else said really set me off and made me need to write this.

This is as good as it gets.

If you are going to be an NFL fan, our current position is the best you should ever reasonably expect.

Almost certainly in the playoffs, still a chance at #1 and certainly a chance at #2. The opportunity to watch rivalry games with our families on Christmas and New Years.

On average, teams score 1.9 points per drive. And yet many of us express rage when a third down catch is dropped.

The last five Super Bowl champs have, on average, lost 5 games in the regular season. And yet many of us express rage when we lose one game to a good team.

Of the 32 current teams, 4 have never been to a Super Bowl. 13 have never won a Super Bowl. The Vikings and Bills each went to four and lost all of them. 4 teams haven't been to the playoffs in 12+ years.

10 teams - one third of the league - has not won a playoff game in 11+ years.

Half of the league hasn't won a playoff game in 5+ years

I don't know what seed we'll get. I don't know if we'll win a playoff game. I don't know if we'll make or even win the Super Bowl.

But the feeling most of us have right now of constant excitement, the memories we're creating with our families and fellow fans - this is all there is to this.

A lot of people on this sub and as sports fans in general take this attitude of "I expect championships, that's the only point." And I really do get that. But that is the kind of attitude we should each have for our own lives - to strive to be our best selves.

When you're instead referring to a team you've arbitrarily chosen to support who play an arbitrary game for your amusement - saying that you demand performance from people and situations you have zero control of is a path to perpetual disappointment.

I hope that come New Years day no matter where we stand - in or out, #1 or not - all of you enjoy this feeling, all of you make new Chiefs memories, and all of you see that this is why we're fans.

I can't get past the format.

If there's ever a day when I can figure out how to get past it, I'll check it out.

My biggest reddit tips:
  1. Create an account. Don't just see the "front page" and assume it is what reddit "is." Put a little effort into getting rid of the subreddits you don't care for, and find niche topics that you are interested in that aren't defaults. The value of reddit is customizing your experience.
  2. When viewing comments on a thread, I use the "collapse" button in the upper-left A LOT. It makes it a little easier to follow the flow of discussion.

I don't find it as easy to get a feel for other USERS on reddit as I do here. I'm not sure if it's the lack of avatars or what, but I have trouble viewing it as other individuals with personalities I know so much as a wall of random comments from strangers. CP will always rule in that way, but reddit's a great place to keep up on a **** ton of topics easily.

Ah, I was thinking you were referring to the Chiefs subreddit specifically. r/nfl is definitely a great place to keep up on broader-league news.

Love my CHIEFS!!!


He dislikes the Steelers. Always plays against them on his games.(for like a couple years it's always been Chiefs vs Steelers) Dislikes the Donks and Fade too.
My younger one took up hockey, and that's fine by me. We do what Chiefs stuff we can, but it's awesome coaching kids in an awesome sport.

So it's all good.

And mine still hates the Donks 24x7, so that's good.

I think football will be great when Brady retires. I seriously can't wait. The AFC has been boring for over a decade minus the Ravens run a few years ago.
In a way, that's why the NFC is better. There's almost always a new team representing them in the SB from Seattle, Arizona, SF, NO, NYG, CAR, GB, Chicago in the last 10 years.

It's been Big Ben, Manning or Brady in the AFC for like 10 years and NE is always in the AFCCG. It's so damn stale, tiring and old.

If we lose and PIT or NE go to the SB again, I won't watch.

We're enjoying the shit out of it around here. I am glad the Chiefs don't suck now. It helps with younger fans when your team doesn't suck. I am lucky he picked the Chiefs to be his team. I couldn't imagine having a Donk or Fade fan.

I have enjoyed the Chiefs success this year. It's cool having a different hero each week. However, I am in the win now camp. If you've been a fan for 30 years then nothing else matters.
