That's just the reality of how this is going to be for a lot of Chiefs fans. They'll never believe until the clock strikes 0:00. I think they're just protecting their emotions, and while I can't blame them for that, I'm willing to roll the dice with a bit more realism and optimism.

Realism is a logical quality. Optimism is an emotional quality. For me, those two are at odds when it comes to the Chiefs most of the time. It's just a question of which one is winning at the moment.
