Guys, if you think the Chiefs are going to lose and predict such, that’s perfectly acceptable. But for the love of God, stay the **** out of here with this “house money” bullshit. No year with Mahomes is wasted or taken for granted. We are in this position all the sudden because of their championship DNA. And damn it, we aren’t throwing in the towel right now like a bunch of pussies just because some fans seem scared to get hurt.
Luckily the team isn’t thinking that way whatsoever, we can rest assured they believe they are repeating as world champs.

It's not about throwing in the towel and obviously not related to the players mindset at all... and IMO, not about getting hurt, but simply about expectations as a fan.
The simple truth is they aren't winning the SB 100% of the time and repeating is incredibly difficult... losing this weekend doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, I guess is the point.
We aren't left with "why the **** can't they beat the Bengals" (had they lost last year) or "shit, they've hosted 5 AFCCGs and lost 3 of them".
And at the very least, it just means they aren't the clear favorite this year, which is going to happen sometimes. If they had been scoring 30ppg all year with this defense, we'd all be expecting another SB, because how the hell could we not... well, they aren't so I'm not... that's really it for me.
