I was born 3 months before KC’s last Super Bowl. I became a Chiefs fan in the late 70s when we had some shitty teams. My grandson was born 5 days ago. I watch this game with him. He will be a Chiefs fan after me.
I was in college when my dad told me Peterson was the new GM and he’d hired Schottenheimer.
I was in law school when Montana took us to the last AFC Championship game.
I remember where I was when Lin Eliot missed that last kick, when I heard DT had died, when Pioli became GM. I remember Andy’s hiring. I remember Pioli’s firing. I remember watching the draft on my computer as I was at work and seeing that it would not be Buffalo #10 pick but that the Chiefs had traded up and I know it would be a QB.
I don’t know what we will do today but I know we have the best QB in football. There are several things that make me think that Andy and Brett both thought Mahomes would use this year as a maturation year, a growing year, and that their expectation of great things would be for the 2019 season and later. I think that Mahomes is better than they expected, better than they hoped.
For the first time in my life, I don’t think that we are here simply because the ball bounced the right way or that things worked out for us. We are here because Pat Mahomes has, on numerous occasions, looked at the offense and said, essentially, “I am Patrick Mahomes II and we are the Kansas-fucking-City Chiefs. We are going to win this game.” Baltimore and Denver leap to mind.
The fact of the matter is, opposing teams now have to plan for OUR QB. They have to plan for someone who does things no one else has ever done. They have to plan for a QB that makes the impossible look easy. They plan and they fear.
Well know this: This is our time. This is our game. This is our QB.
