The "bipolar" thing is interesting. My hypothesis is that it's less about individual people being bipolar so much as it's just the nature of who is more likely to be vocal at any given time. If we win, the "haters" are pretty quiet, while the "fanboys" are pretty vocal. If we lose, the opposite is true. But it's tough to actually read comments while keeping track of who is who, so it comes across as a huge swing in emotions depending on a game's outcome.
The more long-term feeling I keep seeing is people who just seem miserable watching the team this year despite the fact that 1) we have Mahomes and 2) we're still a highly-competitive team. I know people don't like to admit it, but for 99% of teams out there, this is about as good as it gets. Some people just seem like anything short of a Patriots-level dynasty is unacceptable. My standards are apparently pretty low - I just like being entertained and getting to watch Mahomes do cool shit. Do I enjoy losses? Of course not. But I'd take this over what pretty much every other team in the NFL has right now.
