GoChiefs..... I appreciate that you are both generous and kind enough to allow me to eat my crow as a mere in-thread reply instead of in an embarrassingly titled & self deprecating thread of its own. You exhibit far more compassion than I would be want to afford to you. Your relative saintly nature is both hereby demonstrated and duly noted.
Decorum demands that I must also bow to your superior football knowledge... although I was deceived most grievously by past circumstance. The record clearly shows that your opinion is suspect with regard to Chiefly prowess in the pursuit of victory - I had no idea that you would exhibit such astounding acumen in predicting KC suckage. And now I find myself kneeling before you with downcast eyes, admitting that your team does in fact suck far, far worse than my own.
The spoils are that you are free to rejoice in my pain - for with both surprise and horror I witnessed, before my very eyes, the Kansas City Chiefs come into
my town and tank a game so blatantly with assured aplomb and calculated expertise. It was unprecedented... precise.... actually a thing of perverse beauty in a twisted kind of way.
How could the Raiders just fall into the web, get caught in the trap, sacrifice the future without even trying to compete? They could have whiffed the tackles, they could have refused to catch the passes, they could have pulled the field goals... and yet they just stood there and played football. At the very least make an attempt at a zero - zero score. But to just intentionally try and win a game certain to land Geno in KC? Why?
WHY??
As I try to fathom the inexplicable performance of my team today, I am ruefully reminded of a gif that I used earlier to taunt TomSlash's inadequate IQ. As I looked up at the scoreboard this dark and dreary day, I was struck by the possibility that its message more adequately applies to the coaching staff and players of my beloved Raider team than it does to the cognitive ability of TomSlash.... perhaps, even to me. Perhaps it was actually boomeranging Cleesian prescience when He declared:

Many questions about the Raiders performance remain unanswered... maybe we will never truly know the underlying factors that drove the organization to the depths we witnessed this day. But one fact has been demonstrated with utmost clarity, one shining example of a fan's cognizance of his own team's talent to tank and suck... and you, GoChiefs are that fan. Only you truly understood the degree of teh suckage that is today's Kansas City Chiefs. With abject humility I pronounce that you win about your team losing in Oaktown today. As you so rightly insisted with unwavering determination, your team is horrible without peer.
