I quit when the owners quit. It's why I quit on the Royals long ago. I don't think Clark Hunt has quit and I think he's trying.

There are no easy games in the NFL anymore.... You guys were out manned, you were depleted on defense and they took advantage of it....

It wasn't like the Chiefs got destroyed...

Actually, they sort of did get destroyed in the second half. They scored a last second touchdown after the Falcons decided to pull their foot off the pedal otherwise the game was not as close as the final score indicated. At least the second half wasn't.

I also don't believe the Chiefs will be successful on a continuous basis as long as they are owned by outsiders and/or owners who have interests in multiple sports and teams. They are simply one fish in a pond and not THE fish in a pond.

I'm trying to get my money back on NFL Sunday Ticket right now...But I don't think the excuse of "The CHIEFS SUCK" is going to get it done. I have much better things to do on Sundays than watch that horse $hit team. Much easier for me to remain a fan if I don't watch them. Can't stomach the same BS year after year. :cuss:

I ****ing hate it when you people act like this....... You ****ing depress me...

Make some Raider jokes or something...

Depends on how you really define giving up. I will always be a Chiefs fan but I think I gave up on them after the Raiders game we lost right before the playoffs in 2010. Now I watch with no real expectations and just figure they are what they are and will probably never be a contender again.

that does not mean I will stop being a fan of the team though.

The only way I'd give up is if they moved the team to Toronto or something...

How many Raiders does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One. It's just a ****ing lightbulb for shits sake.

I'll never stop being a fan of the teams I love to watch and have cheered for since my childhood. Am I the crazy fan at the age of 41 that I was at 21 ... or even 31? No.

I no longer get incredibly PO'ed if something horrible happens, I'm married with 3 kids and I have a completely different set of focal points. Am I annoyed when things go south? Yes... but, things are much more in perspective now than they were years ago.

Even if I lived in Denver and could afford it with ease, I doubt that I'd own season tickets - I'd try to go to 1 or 2 games, but I'm not dedicating a full day and thousands of dollars each year to watch the games and pay for over the top expensive food.

Granted ... and this is not a jab, but when I look at "diehard fans" of teams like KC, Browns, Lions, etc ... I wonder "how do you they maintain that level of intensity for such a long period of time?" It has to take a toll which is one of the reasons I think you see a lot more 'reality' with older fans of teams.

I'll go to Wizards every now and then in Plano, where the KC fans go - freaking huge crowds - most bring families (which isn't always advised, IMHO), but they show up in great force with decorations - tailgate and they're "IN IT"... and honestly, it's fans like that when I think it would be great for a team like KC to win the Lombardi. My fandom aside, every true fan should experience greatness. Those 2 years in the late 90s as a Broncos' fan were incredible... at times during the last 12 seasons, I've relied on those seasons as comfort for better days ahead.

Some of you are way overdue on your ability to experience that... there are a dozen or so 'great owners' in the NFL, owners that are focused on always improving while others seem to be in it for just the bottom line. It's sad.

Be happier, those where 2 pretty low quality jokes.

If I were a Chiefs fan the worst part to me would be knowing how good they were in the 90's and came away with nothing.... Chiefs should own atleast 3 Lombardis by now

SLOW DOWN.

Baby steps.

We need to concentrate on a team that can win a playoff game first...
