The NFL needs the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl
 
Hope its not a repost, didn't see it anywhere.

Quote:

Let me be the first to admit that after a lifetime of watching professional football, including a couple very fanatical years coinciding with my New York Giants winning a pair of Super Bowls against the devil, the league has faded from my interest recently. It has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with life, but clearly I'm not alone—despite being the most popular sports league in America by a good amount, the NFL's reputation has dipped in recent years for reasons as diverse as the CTE scandals, political fury (from both sides), and quality of play.

However, this has been a rebound year for the league in a few key ways. The games have been more fun, the story lines are better, and ratings shot up by five percent overall (and a whopping eight percent on ESPN's Monday Night Football). This has coincided with college football's devolution into predictable boredom, and the NFL—which has always boasted an unpredictable postseason—stands out by contrast. In addition, there's been a wealth of surprising new stars. All in all, Roger Goodell seems to have stumbled out of his own shadow, and whether he deserves it or not, the 2018-19 season has been a boon.

A year like this deserves a fitting ending, and there's no more appropriate Super Bowl champion than the ultra-enjoyable Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes has become the exciting young face of the league in one season, the offense is explosive—as it proved against the red-hot Colts in a stunning first quarter on Saturday—and the Andy Reid Redemption Arc would be incredibly satisfying after a lifetime of mockery for his crunch-time decisions. Not to mention the fans: It's been 50 years since the Chiefs won Super Bowl IV, and the intervening years have been so routinely heartbreaking that you can make a depressingly long list just from the kicking woes.

The champion the NFL does not need is the New England Patriots—an aging but still dangerous relic of the bad old days. The Patriots are everything that should be left in the past: A grim, hostile group of serial cheaters endowed with the world's foremost superiority complex, worshipped by a smug, spoiled fan base whose brains have been addled by pervasive tribal groupthink that promotes hyper-aggressive hero worship and—when met with the slightest criticism—a hasty retreat into conspiratorial posturing. It would be beyond dispiriting to see them win another Super Bowl.

The Chiefs have been a breath of fresh air in a year that has been propelled by the winds of change. The NFL's problems are not over, but a Chiefs victory would be a stylish finish to a league on the rebound, and a symbolic clearing of the cobwebs to usher in a better, more exciting era.

Would the AFC East no longer exist

Tribal Warfare 01-14-2019 05:18 PM

Indeed, the only backfire on all this is when the Chiefs win the SB with Mahomes. We will get bandwagoners that will act like they were fans since the Steadman days without knowing the Chiefs' history for better and for worse.

Prison Bitch 01-14-2019 05:19 PM

Truth

Pats fans are basically subhumans

chinaski 01-14-2019 05:23 PM

I wholeheartedly agree with that article with every fiber of my being. And then some. And yours too.

THANKS!

You could make the same argument for the Rams, really. Or that the league would benefit from the Saints giving it a feel-good story to cap off the year.

Just a lot of words to say that people are tired of the Patriots winning every year.

OrtonsPiercedTaint 01-14-2019 05:26 PM

I do wonder if the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Would an old nemesis need pardoned. Not likley :Lin:

Then we will educate them. There's plenty of room on this bus, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't mind folks hopping on the Mahomes train, just don't act like you suffered all the heartache and misery of the past 40+ years.

I don't want us to be viewed in the same light as NE and Cowboy fans.

Jesus, it'll really suck to be lumped in with those assholes if we get said bandwagoners.

Team hate, is one thing which will be awesome but being denigrated as a fanbase is going to blow.

That's how you get more fans. Hell I was a bandwagon fan...in 1970.

ToxSocks 01-14-2019 05:44 PM

The other day i was sitting around getting high and it occurred to me: This is our Destiny.

The Kickapoo tribe and the Blessing of the Four Directions.....but where else have i seen Kickapoo referenced?

Ah yes....Tenacious D and the pick of DESTINY.

Kickapoo? DESTINY????

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

Getting fans in the 8-12 range is how get life long fans, and I've said as much.

I believe we went through what type of individuals that'll latch on, and pound their chest like they've been fans since the beginning.

Pitt Gorilla 01-14-2019 05:48 PM

I was told NFL ratings were decreasing.

I've had a couple of friends ask me about this weekend's game...if I were having a get together.

I told them yes, but with folks who are going experience the same gut wrenching pain or experience the same euphoric bliss that will come after decades and decades of following this team...and they understood.

Cosmos 01-14-2019 05:54 PM

After >40 years of fandom... I ....need the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.

Now, let’s do it.

Mahomes effect.

He washed away the sins of the NFL.

CoMoChief 01-14-2019 06:50 PM

Tell that to the refs, who didn't call a single ****ing penalty on a team that was CLEARLY holding all night long when both teams last met.

Brady is the most immobile QB in the league. OL has to hold because Brady can't move from the pocket. KC defense needs to tee off on this asshole.

Frazod 01-14-2019 06:52 PM

Hope somebody posts this over at that Cheatriots board that sent all the trolls over here.

Rain Man 01-14-2019 06:55 PM

That is the most accurate and well-written article I've ever read.

comochiefsfan 01-14-2019 07:00 PM

If the NFL is smart, they will make sure Patrick Mahomes wins the Super Bowl. The league has to know that realistically, Brady can't keep this up for much longer. Brees, Rodgers, Phyliss and Big Rape are also heading downhill.

What better way to introduce the nation (including the millions of casual non-football fans that will be watching) to the new generation of the NFL than to pit the young guns of Mahomes and Goff against each other in a high scoring thriller?

Mahomes is much more marketable than the bland Goff and has a chance to be to the NFL what Steph Curry has been to the NBA.

The baby faced, multiracial, head band wearing wizard would be exactly what the doctor ordered for the NFL and the television networks that have to sell the league as the old guard continues to barrel towards retirement.

Nobody cares about the Rams including LA.

ChiliConCarnage 01-14-2019 07:03 PM

Can confirm Mahomes and the Chiefs are the QB/champion team NFL fans need and deserve

Ah little grasshopper, you have much to still learn about suffering and heartache. 40+ years wandering through the dessert of futility, that is true suffering. This has been fun this year regardless of the outcome. Our future looks good from here.

We've already been through 5 years of that when KC traded for Smith and his legion of freaks infested the board.

It's truly a small price to pay... and you'll be more than happy to pay it.
