I've been to 100's of Chiefs games throughout my life. And probably 15-20 playoff home games. For my money, I'd take the second option. I'm sure there's some recency bias but my favorite two games ever are the win over the Colts in 2019 and then the Texans game where we went down 24 and then just demoralized them the rest of the game.
We got to hang out in the suites area next to the press box before that Colts game and shoot the shit with Collinsworth. He was on his tablet out in the bar area having lunch and we chopped it up with him. Also got a prediction out of him (he said Colts by 7 bc the cold and wind would hurt Mahomes). It was actually 3 years ago today as I got a google photos reminder this morning. That game was the monkey off the back and finally winning a playoff game at home against a team that owned us postseason.
And then the Texans game. I was just shellshocked after the first 15 minutes of the game. Never in my wildest imagination did I (or anyone there) imagine a scenario with a worse start than that. But.....we had PMII. I was nervous, yes, but old me would've maybe left right then dejected. Didn't even cross my mind and then the next 2.5 hours were maybe the most fun football I've ever watched in person. It was straight electric in that stadium.
I'll be there Sunday night. At this point in the season, first week of the playoffs, give me a repeat of the 36-10 game a few weeks ago and I'll walk out a happy fan.
