With some time to reflect, George, this is the Perfect 10 things. Absolutely perfect.
Sometimes a dive into the stat sheets is important, sometimes a look at the players on the sideline. Sometimes a study of coaching.
This one needed to be a wider look of taking it all in. There is so much. Between all the hogshit losses where we were the better team, all the down years, all the shit, all everything. A comprehensive review would make War and Peace look like a "Brown Bear Brown bear what do you see?" book.
As per usual, you find the appropriate perspective with which to view the game.

It feels pretty damned good, BEP.
You know what though? My buddy texted me after the game, and said, "So this is what other teams feel like." I don't think they do. I can't think of another fan base that has blown it in as many creative and unique ways as the chiefs. From the no punt game to the Lin Elliot game (**** you bitches, the curse is broken), Grbac over Gannon, Indy Debacle, Forward Progress, Goddamned Dee Ford, and the list goes on and on. And that's just blowing it when we're the better team, that's not to talk about the Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli eras. (I wasn't around for the Steadman times). I'd bet a pretty sizable amount of money that it feels different for us than other franchises.
I mean, sure Cleveland has their troubles, but it's been so damned long since they've been relevant, that it's a different feeling.
Dallas sucks ass, but have you met their fans? They wouldn't feel it like we do.
Atlanta has had some bad luck, but at least they were winning playoff games in the last 20 years.
Detroit has considerable futility, but they didn't lose games they should have won. They should have lost most of those. And Barry Sanders single highhandedly won a bunch of game they shouldn't have won.
Jets are in a bad way, but they were in back to back AFCCG. They can **** right off.
A championship is a championship. And we have those feelings, but there are feelings here that I'm guessing other franchises don't have.
A second one would be awesome, but I'm guessing nowhere near this type of emotion.
