Chiefs If you would have told me this 15 years ago...

**Gonzo** · 01:31 PM

15 years ago I was a 17 year old kid that lived and died with the Chiefs. I remember watching the Chiefs and Bills in the AFC Championship game and after the Chiefs lost I thought to myself, "Next year will be the year."

If you would have told me the following things that day, I would have compared you to a Chimpanzee with Down syndrome:

1. The Arizona Cardinals will make a championship game before KC does.
2. You will see two more presidents elected before KC wins another playoff game.
3. The following (bad at the time) teams will win a Superbowl before KC ever even makes one.

• Indianapolis
• Baltimore
• St. Louis
• New England
• Tampa Bay

Adding - New Orleans FFS

4. I would get married, have a child and buy a house before the Chiefs win a playoff game.

Who knows what else is going to happen before we see a playoff win, never mind Superbowl!

It’s things like this that I have reflected on recently and they make me wonder why the hell I waste time and money watching and rooting for this team. For the love of god, I actually went to my first Chiefs game on my Honeymoon in 1999.
(Chiefs beat the Lions)

The sad thing is I blame my father. He turned me into a Chiefs fan. Why couldn’t’ he have been a fan of a big market team? I could be posting on Steelers Planet or Giants Planet about how great the team is, instead here we are all excited about the possibility of a new GM coming in and salvaging this team.

Oh well, I know one thing, I plan on putting my son through the same thing. I just hope and pray that I will see the Kansas City Chiefs play in a Superbowl once in my life.

Go Chiefs.

Not for my 3 cousins, who were all at the Christmas viewing of the triple o.t. loss to the Dolphins. The game that made me a Chiefs fan when I was 5.

They are all gone now, and no Superbowl yet.

So did the Seahawks. Man, remember how bad Seattle used to be when they were in the AFC West. It seems like a lifetime ago.

This same thing.

What are the Chargers fans going to get to go through for the next 15 years?

True.

In 2006 when we lost in the playoffs, I whined and bitched and complained like there was no tomorrow.

Chiefs fans told me to keep a stiff upper lip and that my skin would get thicker. I didn't believe them.

In 2007 when we lost in the playoffs, I realized that we made it to the AFC Championship game, so while Sad that we lost, It didn't hurt that bad knowing we'd be even stronger the next year.

This year when we lost, I was like, "meh." I'm finally to the point where a playoff loss doesn't really hurt too bad. I know that all of you guys went through this in the 90s. Its kind of sad really, but until we get a real coach, I have very low expectations.

Oh, and P.S. The Chargers waited until all the other Head Coaching jobs were filled in 2006 before firing Marty, and then they got the leftovers....Norv.

You guys better hurry the hell up and hire a GM so you can get a coach.

I don't even know who I want as a coach any more. I am getting tired of staying glued to the Web hoping for the perfect GM.

the **** you say, you've been to a super bowl in the last 18 years. yeah, you were young in 1995--but **** off, the chargers have won playoff games since you hit puberty. the chiefs haven't since before I had.

Reerun_KC · 01-13-2009, 10:46 AM

Hard to believe we are one of the worse franchises in the NFL...

Since 1989, all we have ever been is Regular Season Warriors....
