But with Chiefs I know they'll be around for awhile. And winning last year takes some pressure off of any one year. I'm way less down about this loss than I was about the Royals in 2014. We have Superman playing for our team, and the future is bright. Not just this next season, but for 10-15 years.

I relate to this. I remember trying to fall asleep after seeing Salvy pop up (turned off the TV. Never actually saw Fat Panda catch it until after we won in 2015, lol) so bummed out that this Cinderella team had made it so far, only to fall short. It was as if Inigo Montoya has actually been killed by Count Rugen. 2015 was so unexpectedly awesome, honestly I can probably go another ten years of the Royals sucking since we have 2015 in the bank.
This SB loss is what I imagine a Warriors fan felt like when they lost to Lebron. Much more “welp, would’ve loved to have won that but we’ll be back”. It’s not an exact comp since it’s much easier for a great team in the NBA to get back to a finals but I’m certainly more excited about next season than I am crushed about this one.
