Obviously, we all would say that the Super Bowl is the goal, and I'm sure that everyone (for the most part) would still be ecstatic if we won the Super Bowl even after getting up by 10 points in the first quarter and then winning the game 10-7 on a missed, last-second field goal.
But at the same time, there is something inherently satisfying with not only winning the game, but stomping your opponent into the ground. I think that's WHY everyone drools over the Tom Bradys and Peyton Mannings of the world - they have the capability to not only win, but make their opponents look foolish in doing it.
When we watch Alex and Andy do their thing, we really enjoy the wins, but it almost feels like the end of a UFC fight that went five rounds but ended in a tight judges' decision. A win is a win, but an epic uppercut knockout sure would have been more fun.
Anyway, I'm definitely more of a "wins matter than style points" kind of guy, but I acknowledge that those who are sick of HOW the Chiefs play the game right now aren't completely insane.
