It's really about pride for our team. We hear pundits and haters talk about how we are just winning by luck and it's a little hard to argue especially after a win like today.
But we just have to remember...we are winning. We've seen Mahomes and Kelce and the defense do amazing shit in the playoffs to get to the Super Bowl. **** the noise. Just smile and enjoy the ride. |

Its almost becoming a habit with this team |
I have a hard time really caring about style points. You know what team obliterated bad teams? The 2003 Chiefs. They just flattened shitty opponents, and I’m sure they had a hell of a point differential, too.
Style points meant dick in the playoffs. The grind it out smashmouth play we adopted last year ended up being way more important. |

I don’t think any of that is unreasonable. |
This win was a weird one. I think my watch party was so despondent when we thought we had lost that it was somehow difficult to come all the way back after the crazy fluke win. Everybody acknowledged that it doesn't make sense, but we just weren't able to fully up the jubilation to where it should be afterwards.
If this wasn't the Chiefs incredible dynasty, I'd be inclined to think we were headed for playoff calamity. Instead I'll just accept and be relieved that we stole one and believe that we can kick it into another gear come playoff time. |

But yet also so despair over the team... So before the season Vegas gave odds of a KC SB win of around 20%? Better than any other team, but a far cry from destiny. If the CP were so sure of their convictions, that would seem a better bet than the S&P 500? No? Yes, I'm enjoying the ride. Yes, I see serious problems. Yes, some other teams have them. But at some point, drafting at the end of the round, combined with having worse than usual luck on the injury front, might make even the 20% rather optimistic. But BV has made some good pick ups without spending too much with Hunt, Hopkins and hopefully the new LT and see how players come back from injury. And see how the team flips on the switch come play offs. |
CELEBRATE YOUR ****ING KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

I don't go into the GDT or bother with Reddit but I think 98% of us here have valid critiques and criticisms.
No one over 30-35 is unappreciative or hating on the Chiefs after all we have been through over the years before Mahomes. I don't need blowouts but I sure would like to see one game where we play good football and win comfortably by 12-16 controlling the whole game. We have been a hot mess all season, including Mahomes. One drive we look unstoppable and then the next 3 we look like the Matt Cassel era. We have been putrid in the redzone, soft as hell in the passing game and have 6 games we easily could have lost. It's hard to picture this type of performance making it to through the playoffs and three-peating. |

I understand the frustration with the team, however, I do not understand any ounce of disbelief.
They're going to be the toughest out in the playoffs. I still firmly believe, just as we witnessed the past two years, they are going to turn it up several notches in the playoffs when it comes to focus, intensity, and game plans. They have a huge LT issue. Guess what? They did last year too. Smith didn't even start until the playoffs began coming off over a month of rest. This year it's Humphries. IDC if he isn't as good as he was last year even - he will be a clear cut upgrade over the current shituation that loses all too often, all too fast. Joshua Williams showed life at CB2 yesterday. We can get by with his talent and experience. The pass rush showed more life than it has in awhile, thanks in large part to Omenihu's return (which looked better than I anticipated and will only improve). Hollywood is coming to add more speed and ability to separate vs. man. Worthy looks better every week. Hopkins has earned Pat's trust to win the back-shoulder ball, and that is a huge development - believe me. Pacheco will only knock more rust off. I honestly wasn't even that mad yesterday. This is just who this team is going to be as long as they continue to get everyone's best shot week in and week out while they play the long game, doing all they can to survive and advance to the real season. They need to keep winning and earn the bye this year. I won't dispute that. But if/when they do, look the **** out. If you don't believe, go ahead and get that crow ready for when the bill comes due. |
I posted in the other thread about the game day experience at Arrowhead. We have newer fans in our section, mid-20's or "recently converted fans" who are just insufferable, especially yesterday. The group in their 20's started chanting "fire spags" when it was 17-16. They were calling Mahomes a pussy, and some folks a few rows behind me who based on their comments the entire game, never played a snap of football in their lives were yelling similar things like Andy, Spags, Mahomes and Kelce could actually hear them. It's like little kids screaming at their Mom for not giving them the right peice of candy after they have had a handful already. It's actually quite disgusting at how insufferable these folks are during the golden era of Chiefs football.

I mean, look we can all be critical of the team. I think most of us here have been critical at times while knowing Reid and veach and mahomes are elite and we need them here as damn long as they want to keep doing this. I was on veach a little last year while also recognizing he’s the best in the nfl. That kind of criticism is not only healthy, but keeps us grounded.
Last year, some of the idiots that wanted mahomes benched but a Looooooottttt of the idiots who wanted veach fired was bad. But this year a lot of idiots are saying Reid is cooked. I can tolerate this shit but those people need to be thrown into Siberia. |
They're performing in games like they were last year, except for the fact that instead of losing these games, the bounces, and yes to an extent, the flags are coming our way instead of the other team.
There's like 4 games right off the top of my head that we're pretty much decided by one play, or no call from officials. Toney tip drill pick 6 against the Lions, and then 4th quarter drop in fg range. Toney offside against Buffalo, negating the go ahead td on a Kelce pitch. MVS wide open drop against Philly for the late lead. MVS tackled 3 days early late against the packers, deep I their territory. Four losses last season that could have been wins. Then the unmitigated disaster against the Raiders, the team figured it out and went on a soul tearing road trip through the playoffs and took out the absolute top tier teams. Clean up the o line play, which with the arrival of Humphries, should at the very least bring some consistency to the LT spot. It's not a coin flip for Pat to think okay, am I instantly screwed, or is he actually going to you know, move. When Mahomes was getting time, he was looking much better. He'll even the play he got crushed on, he threw a perfect no look strike to Watson for the td. Andy can aid this consistency by sticking with a consistent rushing attack. How you watch Pacheco bust loose, and then huve him only one more carry after is PTSD inducing flashbacks of Jamaal Charles busting huge plays and then never sniffing the football again. Becoming one dimensional is not the answer. Andy called that game after the huge Pacheco run like we were down 3 scores under 4 minutes. Completely abandoned the run. This team has a history of "flipping a switch" and getting it right when it matters. Post season. They've already punched their ticket, so there's plenty of time to focus on cleanup. |

If the Chiefs were responsible for finding ways to Win at the end of games, I think everyone around here would feel pretty good. yes, this statement is odd because you could say "but Moli, they ARE finding ways to win!". However, it seems to me like the Chiefs are trying to find ways to lose and just can't because other teams are so inept, or the Chiefs get insanely lucky.
I don't think living on that edge is sustainable, and that gets people nervous. Now, will the Chiefs turn it on in the playoffs? History says most likely... so the sky isn't falling. Personally for me, I love tuning in to watch Mahomes do something magical every game. I love to assess and watch the offense work... but I will say this season has been the most frustrating one to watch in Mahomes career, because it doesn't seem like the team is getting better, but worse. |
The "Player x is trash" posts get very old very quickly, but when it's very apparent that week after week, for the better part of two seasons, that the team or many, if not most players are underperforming the standards we watched them set a short time ago, it's hard to watch. Are they saving it for the playoffs like an NBA team? Could be, but good luck with that...lightning striking twice and all. I imagine most fans just miss their Ferrari and can't get used to driving a 1971 C-10.

Imagine the meltdown during the game a few years ago - Some CPrs would be screaming:
If Stenerud could make just one of those MFing field goals we'd have beat Miami. Cut that worthless scum. :rolleyes: |

Personally, I've believe that I've been spoiled by the spectacular play of our QB. I have gotten so used to Patrick making 10+ unbelievable plays per game that when he misses them, I feel disappointed. I think it's a bit like an addiction, getting so used to the good feelings that when they don't happen, it's a big letdown.
Have to remind myself that this is entertainment and everyone on the team is a year older, a little bit slower, a little bit more beat up, a perhaps not quite as motivated. The real difference between a 11-1 team and a 6-6 team is just a handful of plays. This year has been a lot of changes and I've been using sports (Royals and Chiefs) to distract myself. Retirement, dealing with Medicare, 93 year old Mom in the hospital, new HVAC, dental implant and crowns, yada, yada, yada. I'm ready for some distraction from the grind and everything just seems like a disappointment. Probably not going to see the 2019/2020 Chiefs ever again and that makes me sad. |

I've been b!tching a lot. More than I should for sure. I'm usually pretty buzzed up by the end of the game and shouldn't be allowed on here when I've been drinking. I think I got spoiled. This team has been so good the last 4-5 years. Mahomes has and is the greatest football player I've ever seen. We just expect this team to score a lot of touchdowns and win comfortably. Especially against "bad football teams"

Yeah but we have the Swifties now. Their game thread was very upbeat with over 1,000 comments, although they were worried about the Raiders center at the end.
Close games? Tayvoodoo is real besties. |
