Football Congrats to you guys!

I know it hasn't been a lot of fun for you in recent years and this past season was incredibly painful, but I think that is a light at the end of your tunnel.

Removing Pioli and the coaching staff is huge - replacing them with Reid and whomever the new GM will be should be a sign of great things to come. KC has the #1 pick, a pretty solid foundation of players and a great fanbase.

I think if they play it right in FA - booting some players and replacing them wisely, then you can see great things happening fairly quickly. I don't know if that involves Geno Smith or not... how similar is he to McNabb (if at all really)? I know that Reid had a lot of success with a young and mobile pass happy McNabb, so maybe they can replicate some things they did early in PHI.

It will take some time though... but, I'm sure most of you will be pretty realistic with expectations.

Seriously - congrats and good luck. I really can't wait until the AFCW is truly competitively balanced again.

Yes, and we hope you lose in the playoffs.

I know you do..

wouldn't expect anything less.

I'm just tired of the division being puke, quite honestly.

Yeah, Super Bowl 2014 or bust baby

Thanks.

I hope the Broncos are blown out so badly in their first playoff game that Manning retires.

Still one of the classiest rival fans on the board.

I hope they win in the playoffs.

Congrats and good luck brocnos.

I'm all outta rep from the Pioli thread. But I'd rep you if I could, MHM. Thanks.

LOCOChief · 01-04-2013, 02:11 PM

I agree and like this hire as well. To be honest as a Chiefs Fan since 77 I am for the first time in my life pulling for the Broncos to win the AFC only to get trounced by the Seahags in the SB. there I said it, out of the closet.

I would like to add my congratulations as well. Reid will make things better right away and is good at developing QB's. I think the rivalry between our teams is good for the NFL. I also think there is something right about a fat guy who likes cheesesteaks coming to KC for the BBQ. Fat guys belong in KC.

Thanks. I figure you guys felt pretty much the same way once McDouchebag got canned and Elway took over...

There is no freaking doubt... granted, the hiring of John Fox left me kinda "huh, wut?" But, it's worked out well so far.
