Do you have FAITH in the Chiefs?
This season's theme song: To be provided by George Michael I was tumbling through my Twitter feed this morning (How very ChiefsandOsFan of me!) and found this article from Fox Sports about season two of the Dorsey/Reid regime. My thoughts: It sums this season up pretty accurately. Awful lot of faith being asked for at this point. It's a hard thing for me to have as a fan due to: 1) The franchise's history when asking fans to have FAITH; 2) The lack of track record in KC for Reid, and the lack of track record for Dorsey as his own man, period. It's preseason. The Chiefs seem to be running so much on HOPE and FAITH, Barrack Obama's 2008 campaign team would have a good case for plagiarism. So let's start with this: What area that requires FAITH do you feel most confident will end up where the team needs it to end up? For me, I probably would go with Marcus Cooper improving and Sean Smith getting his sh*t together. |

Gotta be honest, a lot more pessimism in this thread than I expected. I was trying to find a reason to have some faith. Not finding much.

got to be kidding, dude.. This is CP, right? The majority (vocal members, at least) are always glooming-n-dooming. You must know that.

Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.
So... yes. |

Same with the Royals- pretty much figure they will end up 3rd every year- so if the end up in 2nd place-wow that is a win. |

This is the most anti-homer message board in the entirety of NFL fandom.. And you expected optimism??

Wait until they win a preseason game or at the very latest, if they go 1-0... threads will start popping up about making the playoffs. The general mood around here has always been determined by the last game they played or a big change in the offseason.

I figured we'd see at least a Marcellus hopey-dream post.

FWIW (and IIRC) the Chiefs were never losing in preseason when both teams pulled their starters.

True. We basically lost at least two of our preseason games due solely to Vince Agnew

I used to have faith every year.
