The Myth that Nelson Sucks

I just don’t see how anybody can feel that it’s anywhere close to a 50/50 deal. We definitely get ****ed more than we get breaks, especially when you’re talking egregious BS. Anybody that disagrees is trying way too hard not to be “that guy” that cries about the refs. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy, but it is what it is.

Look I've had my hands in the air like everybody else this year. The reality is though that most people remember the bad more than the good.

Think back at all the horrible calls over the past 5 to 10 years that have screwed us. I bet a few just came to mind. I'm no different. Now think of all the great calls that have helped us. Probably not too many vivid ones coming to mind.

The easy joke here is to say there haven't been any, but objectively that isn't true. Point is that we hold on to the bad calls and forget the breaks. And if great players do get the benefit of the doubt, our complaining better happen now because it's about to end. The Broncos would argue it already happened. So are we an objective fan base and the Broncos fans aren't? Or is a little of both happening?

I'm not going to say we didn't get a break here and there in games that we were largely controlling anyway. Meanwhile in the Steelers game a suspiciously late flag on a penalty that had no bearing on the outcome kept that one close. And in the only game we lost this year we got undeniably screwed and screwed badly.

I'm just saying this isn't a balanced ledger. Letting us get away with a hold up 2 scores in the 4th against an overmatched opponent doesn't even the scales for that butt-****ing we took on Foxboro.

I'm not saying things are even Steven. I'm just saying that every fanbase tends to think they are being objective when it isn't always the case. I'm also not sure that all the breaks we got this season came at points that didn't matter. That's part of my overall point. I'm sure opposing fans could name a few important calls. We can be objective all we want, but many calls are subjective.

In all honesty it does take a lot to get me furious about those things. The hold in the Pit playoff game, the end of that Raiders Thursday night game, those are moments I remember. I guess because the NE game was early this season let's me let it go. If it was in the playoffs I'd feel worse.

Plus, honestly, if we end up with home field I will be GLAD we lost that game. Let us be the ones with chips on our shoulders. That point doesn't justify penalties, but it's part of the reason I wasn't furious.

You can debate a player here or there but that is ****ing disgustingly awesome.

When we fired him, I figured the odds of me seeing a Kansas City Super Bowl ever again were dashed.

But he did give us Mahomes.

How much of that success is coaching?
