"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. |

No this isn't as good as it gets if/when we advance in the playoffs it could be so so much better.
This has been my best years enjoying the Chiefs football more so than I can ever remember. Primarily reason because I've been watching each week with my son and he asks me all kinds of football questions of all the greats I remember over the years watching Chiefs football. He is my mini me. He loves playing Madden and crushes teams. So it's all worth it to me I've got a bond with my son. Last year I took my kids to Arrowhead and it was one of the best experiences I've given them my son particularly became enthusiastic over this team I was ready to not care so much about but I do care. I care because I enjoy it again with my son and no matter what happens nobody can take that feeling away from me. He also loves fishing. Fishing and football are two of my favorite things so this year has been great hanging out with my son. |

When we win the superbowl this year.... Imma just pour champagne all over my ****ing face, while I have a girl or two suck my dick... And neither will be my gf, so the blowjob will be that much better.
Shit i might even let the girls have a go at me in the bedroom if the mood and settings are up to standards. |

This is horse shit. The only point is to win Championships. I watch college and high school sports for the sportsmanship of it. I don't watch pro football for the excitement of falling short every year.

While you're more than welcome to hold that opinion, it seems like a miserable existence. I have no idea why you'd even watch if you're going to be pissed off (on average) 97% of all seasons. I hope for a Super Bowl win every year, sure, but I don't consider it to be a complete failure if we don't hit that goal.
