It's been mentioned before, but NFL fans (specifically AFC fans) are finally escaping 20 years of Patriots dominance, and are finally thinking there's going to be some variety and that their team might get a chance to get to the Super Bowl.

So when the Chiefs lost to the Patriots in the AFCCG, then won the next years' Super Bowl, it had all the trimmings of a feel-good story. The Chiefs overcoming the heartbreaking loss to win it all, first SB win in 50 years for the Chiefs, Andy Reid's first ring, Mahomes the up-and-comer getting a ring, etc. The NFL world was pretty happy with that first win.

The problem however, is they expected that crown to be shared over the years by other AFC teams and other feel good stories. Instead, the Chiefs are dominating the AFC the same way the Patriots did, and the NFL world hates them for this.

It just comes with the territory, guys. Any team that dominates for an extended period of time WILL be hated because they're sick and tired of seeing the same team over and over again.

I absolutely despise the Patriots and their fans but do you think they sit back with their rings and worry about people complaining about how they won them? **** no they don't.

Living the dream, people, living the dream.

So far every time someone at work has bitched about the "hold" I say what about the 6 points they took from bolton or the obvious hold JJSS didnt get to force a punt? And they shut up.

But **** yeah! We are the evil empire! Pats fans are squirmy af as it sets in that Mahomes is already nipping at Brady's heels.

Their tears are delicious and they fuel my soul.

They spend all their time complaining about the new big swinging dick getting all the breaks.


Zero self-awareness.

Facts are that the Chiefs have now inherited the Patriots mantle of border line calls by the refs at the best time for them. Refs ignored dozens of passing plays with similar "holding" in the game only to call one at the end which coincidentally allowed KC to run off the clock.

Enjoy fellas. You've certainly been on the wrong end of these kinds of calls for decades.

Didn't hurt that the NFL turned the field into a skating rink with all the stupid paint all over the damn field. Y'all figured it out and made the plays to win.

I think they sit back and bitch about all things Chiefs because we know we're coming for them and their records.

I don't know if it's a northeasterner thing or what, but those guys HATE us and what we represent. And it absolutely festers in their black little hearts.

So **** them, too...

Shut up, bitch

Oh yeah...they're bitching because they can see their "Greatest Ever" label slowly starting to wither away. Imagine the hate if Mahomes passes Brady for rings. He's already being talked about as being better than Brady (because he is)...and they ****ing hate every second of it.

That's just not what history says will happen.

history says that every decade has a dynasty. The Pats had 2 separate and distinct dynasties, but in any given decade there's a team that won 3-4 rings.

We're gonna be that team. If the rest of the NFL thought the league was just gonna turn into some merry go round of championships, they haven't paid enough attention.

The crying about the holding call is pretty stupid when Bradberry himself acknowledged that it was a legitimate penalty.

I gotta disagree on the black hat symbolism.

White hat! Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes would only ever wear a white hat. I'll take that route.

No need for you to cry so much. You won the lottery and are now the NFL's darlings.

See? This guy gets it.

Don't try to explain it - tell 'em to go fist a collie.

{insert generic sour grapes bullshit here}

"Maybe - but see that campfire over there? Patrick Mahomes ****ed your mother next to it last night..."
