For me, it's taken away a lot of the fun of the regular season because they can just turn it on or off, depending on the situation and win. I mean, I haven't been concerned about a loss pretty much this entire season, even after they allowed the Raiders to beat them.
And then you look around the league at the other supposed "great teams" and they're a joke. Green Bay looks like the only real competition but if the Chiefs don't absolutely shred their defense, I would be shocked.
They're in a class of their own but if you don't watch the other 15 games every week, you probably won't know it.

Yeah, I originally was going to respond with a pre-Mahomes kind of ranting thing about my previous jadedness, but I'm sure you're well aware...
It's now like watching Kansas basketball.... they'll get good and even great efforts from teams. Sometimes they won't show up and will lose a very winnable game, other times you just have to tip your cap to an unbelievable performance from an opponent.
And then
maybe once or twice per regular season, you'll watch them against a team that's a real contender.
Like you basically said, they're no longer a regular season team... and the NFL can barely fill the two championship games with legit contenders on any given season, so you're lucky to see one or two such match ups before late January (or right, no pre-Mahomes ranting
).
And this is supposed to be an 11-1 vs 9-3 match up on my TV... oy.
