There are no fair weather Chief fans. No team that hasn't won jack shit in 40 years will have fair weather fans. That notion is stupid.
I don't need them to win the big one. Obviously. I mean, since they haven't won the big one since I was FOUR YEARS OLD that really should go without saying.
I do, however, need them to be competitive. I require them to put a decent product on the field. This is supposed to be entertainment. Well, it's not. Going to a game isn't a 30 minute drive for me. It's 16 hours in a car, or several hundred dollars in air fare, time off work, etc. Why in the hell would I go to all that trouble to watch these ****ing morons stink up the field week after week?
There is a fine line between true fan and chump.
