I know I'm in the minority but I'd rather the Broncos or Raiders go to the playoffs than the Chargers. I dislike Rivers that much... and whichever team between Denver and Oakland that makes it is likely to get rolled in the opening weekend anyway.

I would not be surprised if the Raiders got their ass kicked next week considering the roller coaster ride this team has been on all year. We probably won't even make the playoffs |

Then go Denver. I'm one of the few that doesn't hate Tebow.

It hurts...more than any loss I expected to hurt this year, but only because everything else lined up for us...
it would have been REALLY fun to go into next week with a "win and we're in" scenario... too bad Succop blows nutsack. |

I was listening to the last kick on the radio...and I realize the line is getting the blame really but I had absolutely ZERO faith in that kick going in...I'm very pessimistic but still...I have no real faith in Succop.

Bummed? Yeah. Did it ruin my day? Kind of, and that's a shame because I had basically tuned the Chiefs out at two or three different times this season. Yet, they still found a way to sucker me back in with that win vs GB only to crack me in the balls one last time. And Buffalo and Detroit winning to boot? For Christ sakes...
Still, I guess I shouldn't be THAT dissapointed. This was truly a cursed season: - Our up and coming tight end is lost for the season in the preseason (knew he was going to get hurt at some point...) - Our top defensive player gone in the first quarter of the first game. This subjects us to the horror that is Sabbi Piscatelli. - Our Pro Bowl running back lands on a first down marker and rolls into a MASCOT, ending his season in Game 2. ...I mean, a LOT of shit went wrong in places they just can't go wrong for a team to realistically succeed in today's NFL. We had our lucky breaks with the hail mary in Chicago and the fumbled snap vs San Diego that may have propped this team up a bit higher than they should be, but in the end we still had a shot in the final weeks and I suppose that's enough given how shitty this season has been. There's a LOT to build off of with injured players returning, the emergence of players like DJ, Flowers, Carr and Baldwin, a bevy of cap room that Pioli MUST spend to reach the salary cap floor and a relatively high draft pick that could be used to shore up the offensive or defensive lines (IMO, the chances of us drafting a QB in Round 1 are slim. I guarantee you that management thinks that Stanzi is our "QBotF".) My only real concern is bringing Cassel back next season. Cut ties, resign Orton and build Stanzi up. There's a lot to build on and I think KC can take the AFC West next year. For good or bad, this offseason is going to be one of the most pivotal in recent memory. |

It's bizarre how much your post mirrors my own feelings about this game. Hell, it's taken till today before I could even bring myself to write a post about it. How this friggin' team always manages to reel me in again and get me so emotionally involved before nailing me with an emotional atomic sucker gut-punch is uncanny. And like you, I have always lived 1000 miles away from fellow Chiefs fans despite having been a fan since childhood. I remember the triumph of Super Bowl IV, never guessing how long I would have to wait to ever see the Chiefs play for another championship. Maybe it was the time of year that made this one hurt so bad. Maybe it was how eerily similar it was to a Christmas Day 1971 game that tore me to pieces when I was just a kid. Maybe it was how it had seemed for a moment that the Chiefs had climbed their way out of a hellhole of a season and might actually make the playoffs after all the adversity of this season. And, like you said, maybe it is the fact football has now ended too soon for me until another year, another season. I don't have the overweening arrogance (or the obsession with fantasy football) to pretend I'm Mr. General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, waxing philosophic about the only true way to conduct the offseason and occupy myself till next season begins. Heck, I don't usually ever bring it up on this board but I have several fairly serious health issues that sometimes make me wonder how much longer I can wait for another Chiefs ticker tape parade... Yeah, this one hurt out of all proportion all right, and I just can't say why. |

Believe me - I have lived in Florida all my life and ever since that game the bile and hatred for that damnable team overflows every time I hear their name mentioned.
