Chiefs Well . . . it could have been worse - Page 7

From 2-14 to 9-0 and then 3 straight losses. At least the losses weren't blowouts.

I'm not happy right now, but at least I see some progress from the organization.

Never said any such thing. Doesn't change the fact that home teams, on average, win more often than road teams and that playing one less 50/50 game is an advantage.

Last I checked
Super Bowl rings have not been ordered
Then again Moreno in his drug induced high just may have

Are we better than last year? Unequivocally yes.

Do we have some areas that have shown massive improvement? Yes!

Do we have some areas that have shown to still be huge holes of sucking suckness? Yes!

... but we're still better than we were last year.

Did we just piss away a chance at winning our division? Yes.

Did we just piss away a chance at playing two games to get to the SB instead of three? Yes.

Those are the things I'm upset about. Maybe I'll be all warm and fuzzy when the season is over and I can look back at W/L and a playoff berth as being good enough. Right now I think I'll only be satisfied with a team that can compete for a SB. And that's because my expectations change as the season unfolds.

Once we got to 5-0ish or better I had high hopes. And I'm going to keep them there.

Everyone else can feel free to keep their same expectations from August.

The Chiefs weren't going to win out, even if they won today.

They're a good team, not a great team.

That should always be the goal, but that's just not realistic for this team this year.

If your expectations are always unrealistic, you'll always be disappointed.

It was realistic for this team this year. They had their best start in a DECADE..

It's never realistic for the Chiefs. They're never likely to win anything meaningful, ever.

Except for the fact that we started 9-0 and had three straight divisional games to prove our worth and secure a #1 seed. And we couldn't.

Yeah, I'm a touch disappointed.

Wait, you think it is realistic for this team to win a Super Bowl this year?

Prison Bitch · 12-01-2013, 08:14 PM

If they don't win a single playoff game after starting 9-0, Dorsey & Reid deserved to get their shit pushed in by the fanbase.

It's realistic for a whole bunch of teams this year. At the start of the day there were still 31 playoff eligible teams.

It's just more of a long shot now since we will have to play an extra game and possibly none at home in the playoffs.

Did I have this expectation at the start of the season? Hell no.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree there.

Wouldn't be the first time.

How is it people stating we "wasted a golden opportunity" are the same ones who basically call the team frauds?

If we are frauds we had no real chance anyway.

If we aren't frauds we are still a pretty damn good football team.

You don't get to play both sides. I don't think any of the people posting this shit even realize they are contradicting themselves.
