Started losing my Chiefs passion in the Herm days. Found myself doing work around the house during the games and only checking in on the score. Was a bit re-energized with the Pioli hire, but quickly lost faith with his barrage of stupid moves and arrogant, paranoid demeanor. Now my Chiefs soul is completely dead...and it's kinda sad because Chiefs football used to be a big part of my life.

This offseason, after Manning wouldn't take KC's calls, my give-a-*hit level had eroded to nothing. Didn't even watch the draft for the first time in decades. Watched yesterday purely out of habit, but found myself more excited to watch the GB/SF game with my rabid-9ers fan wife.

Seriously...30 drafts without a 1st round QB??? The Chiefs organization doesn't deserve the loyalty of its fans.

Well well well....you bunch of nattering naysayers of negativity. The Chiefs will apply the same tactics used by politicians to MAKE SURE the Arrowhead experience remains positive.

Remember, if you want to keep your seats, JUST SAY RAH!

Love the quasi-Secret Service guys behind the bench complete with the suits, discrete earphones and sunglasses. I wonder if they have 10mm automatics under their blazers.

Phone tapping? Bugging offices?...nah, this Pioli paranoia myth is a fabrication of those non True Fans.

Hunt and Pioli have made this team impossible to like.

You know.....it's ****ing sad that I converted my brother into a Chiefs fan. Now I have to sit back and watch him get emotional during the games....while I sit back and don't give a **** when they screw up.

People always say that they would make more if they build a contender, but sometimes I wonder....

Contenders spend money on backups that are better than Jacques Reeves.

I'm absolutely convinced that, with the way revenue sharing is set up, it makes no business sense at all for a team to spend the money necessary to accumulate the depth to win a championship.

As to when to give up - when the losses don't hurt anymore, you have given up. There isn't a time that you actively quit, you just realize that the losses don't bother you.

I had a great time on Sunday because I got 2 quarters of decent football, good weather and a hell of a tailgate. I left with 10 minutes left in the 4th not giving a !@#$ that the Chiefs lost because frankly, that's what the Chiefs do. I didn't actively choose to give up - it just happened.

I get more angry about Cardinals losses in July than I do at Chiefs losses. A meaningless July loss in a season with 162 games bothers me a hell of a lot more than the Chiefs just losing 6% of their season. I don't blame myself for it - I used to get so angry at these losses that I'd sit in total silence for hours. I didn't quit on the Chiefs - they just ceased to be worth caring about.

Well, his MLS team is in 5th place. Perhaps it's no coincidence...

once his family sold the Wizards the team began to thrive.

When I was a kid I would actually lose sleep over my favorite teams losing, be depressed etc. Never again... I changed a long time ago and I refuse to let something that I can't control get me down....

On top of the Chiefs shittiness and frustration with the organization I don't feel like the product the NFL provides as a whole league wide has been that great for a long time.

Chief Pote 09-10-2012 09:48 AM

Since the creation of fantasy football, I find myself enjoying football in general than being fixated on this team winning each week. If they win I'm surprised, if they lose I'm not surprised. I guess my expectations are very low.

The good news is they make each team they play look like a team heading for the Super Bowl. :banghead:
