Too many, 20 years ago I was 15 and had no way of watching them especially living here in Cali. Had to watch SportsCenter for the highlights.

It's the sole reason I have DTV

Same growing up in Montana. My dad and I would drive 30 miles to a sports bar to watch them many times. Wasn't until about 2010 when I could find decent streaming consistently that I didn't miss a game.

I'd rather watch an undermanned and less talented KC team pull wins out of their asses like they did in the 90's, than watch an SB caliber talented team shit the bed against anyone.

After SB54, I expect nothing but the best, and the team was for all intents and purposes the same, if not better, after the OL improvements and they were embarrassing.

I'm not sure that I've missed a single game over the past ten years. If you go back 20 years there were times in Denver when the game simply wasn't shown pre-satellite and internet and sports bar. So I probably missed numerous games back in the early 2000s.

Or did we have sports bars by then? If we had sports bars I would have missed zero or close to it. I've just had several eras in my life where it was impossible to watch the game live due to technology gaps.

Yes I remember the hurricane game. I sat outside in my car and listened to the whole thing while I had company over. They weren't Chiefs fans, so **** em.

Since Andy Reid maybe 2-3

Before Andy a lot. I didn't watch much of the Cassel debacle or Pioli or Haley or Crennel or Thigpen or Palko.

Since Week 17 of 2017: 0

Before Week 17 of 2017, going back to 2002:

Dozens and dozens

Enough to not remember which ones I missed.

Before Mahomes I watched about 2-4 per year. Since Mahomes I watch probably 12-14, only about 6 live. 4 kids baseball games on Sundays and hunting season make it damn near impossible to watch live.

ETA: when I’m not watching live I don’t answer texts or calls because I know it’s an asshole calling to tell me something about the game I plan to watch later.

I forgot about Cincy at KC--a few years ago. Sunday night game.

Had Phil Collins tix.

Game got flexed to Sunday Night.

I moved into my own place and got DTV in 2001. Much like Hog, I got DTV for the sole purpose of watching the Chiefs (along with the wife watching the Braves). I've missed a few, particularly during the lean years between Green and Alex, but very few. And I don't think I've missed any since Pat took over.

One that I missed I actually had tickets for - the Raiders/Chiefs game played the day after the great Kansas/Missouri game of 2007. I was already exhausted, physically and emotionally, my voice was gone, and I had a 500 mile drive home to look forward to after the game. The Chiefs were terrible that year, and I had a feeling that if I stuck around they'd lose, **** up an otherwise magical visit, and I'd just have wasted four to five hours I could have spent on the road. So I stopped for gas at a QuickTrip in Lee's Summit, put the tickets on the counter, and told the clerk that anybody who wanted them could have them. As it turned out, the Raiders won, and I made the right call.
