KC has lost 10 games in three years COMBINED. KC has hosted three straight AFCCGs which no team in AFC history can say. They have been to back to back SBs and were an offsides from three straight SBs. KC was an injured OLine and questionable calls from probably being back to back champs. KC is currently the #1 seed and the only AFC team to have currently clinched a spot.

Cincinnati has the tougher schedule because they have KC on their schedule. The fact that some of their fans think they are going to beat/destroy KC is the height of arrogance they accuse KC fans of. They are a good young team and I like how their roster is built, especially at the QB position, but respect is earned and they haven't done anything yet to justify that.

To be fair though, we were in their shoes prior to 2018.

We celebrated beating the Patriots in September like we had just won the Super Bowl, then would say Patriots fans were arrogant assholes because they brushed it off.

We would read PatriotsPlanet and call them all smug entitled assholes because they were very confident, and now we read how we're the arrogant assholes.

I was looking for a post I made to diqlix last year, but couldn't find it.... it's the circle of life though, one we hadn't experienced in decades as Chiefs fans.

Pretty much this.

...and I'd love to defend the Chiefs fanbase, but I witnessed our own saying things such as:

-If Mahomes would spend less time doing commercials, he wouldn't suck.
-Mahomes needs benched.
-Mahomes is broken.
-Mahomes should be studying film instead of hanging out with his family.

Chiefs Kingdom has it's fair share of complete shitheads.

Yep, it is like they could not wait to run him out of town. Idiots!

Mustn't forget that Mahomes is a gimmick QB.

Mahomes is an Air Raid gunslinger with terrible footwork. Better draft Trubisky- Bears

Add to that list that a few of our own fans wanted to fly a 'bench Mahomes' banner THIS SEASON!!

Fair points. I like their team and think they are solid, but to be considered arrogant because of confidence in your team based off of past success rubs me the wrong way. What bothered me was when fans of better teams felt they knew more about football because their team won more. I definitely did not think that about any fanbase.

Reminds me of last year, between Bills fans showing up and Browns fans showing up.

Bills fans came here to troll first and foremost, but even looking at the forum they came from, they were incredibly naive 'born yesterday' type of fans who thought they would be handed a Lombardi because they could put up 50 points on some 5 win team. I'm sure we came off as arrogant assholes, mostly because they stormed into our house and took a giant dump in the living room... but, also because they seriously knew nothing about football.

Browns fans showed up and almost all of them were respectful and wanted to talk football, and also knew one 11-win season didn't mean they were guaranteed playoff success.... they had been around and seen some shit, and we all seemed to be on the same level.

And reading the Bengals board, I'd say they're far closer to the Browns fans who showed up... they're happy to be watching a winning team and excited to see what the Bengals can do this weekend. I didn't get the sense they all of a sudden believe they're going to take the league by storm.

I agree with that part. My issues were primarily with those who felt we were arrogant. That and the "area smack" people (although we have some ourselves that do it). I never understood how people develop a sense of superiority based on where they live. I think it's stupid regardless of fanbase.

Yeah, area trash talk is strange, especially when something like 80-90% of people live within 2 hours of where they grew up.

Look at these idiots, growing up in a different part of the country! Losers!



And it's not like it's Green Bay versus San Diego (where everyone would rationalize why they live in each location and what sucks about each location anyway).... I've never been to Cincinnati, but would guess it's very much like Kansas City in many aspects, given they have almost identical populations with I assume very similar weather in flyover country.
