Btw, it struck me tonight (again) that we are incredibly blessed to have Andy Reid designing all the plays that he designs for the Chiefs. Can you imagine if the Chiefs were consigned to having to play by the Book of Gase or Garrett? It hurts my brain to even try to conceive what that would look like.
Every week we're treated to at least a few plays where the entire football world has no idea what's going to happen or where the ball will end up. It's an amazing and wonderful thing to be a Chiefs fan these last 7 years, and most particularly these last 3 now into the beginning of the Mahomes Era.
But also it's made us ineluctably (not a real word, but go with it; basically means irresistibly) spoiled. We watch other teams every year and wonder every single gdt, "why the hell do you have to call so many incredibly boring plays in a row? Can't you morons call something unexpected?" Which is just Chiefs fans being cursed with the blessing of Andy Reid dreaming up the most creative play designs the world has ever seen. And then trotting them out like so many painted ponies at the circus every single weekend.
We are a very lucky bunch.
People, it's a treasure and a burden all at the same time. A terribly awesome gift.
We are very, very, very blessed to be Kansas City Chiefs fans today.
Okay, enough of my pontificating. Back to the thread.
