If the Colts never ****ed up Luck and Ballard inherited a healthy version of him, think of the playoff picture:

Mahomes
Allen
Burrow
Luck
Lamar
Lawrence
Herbert

That would be insane

1989- (i think)Derrick Thomas goes for the tackle, not the iNT vs Miami

1995-Lin Elliot is aborted

1997-The weather is not -20 vs Denver

1992-We dont shit the bed vs SD-that team was not going any where

2010-get a first down

2013-Aborted the DC

2016-Aborted Carl Cheffers

2017-Refs understand forward progress

2020-Refs dont throw 9 ghost penalties

You forgot 2003. Likely not beating New England on the road but that defensive shitshow against the Colts should have gotten the DC fired.

I think it was a well-known secret that Sutton was "retiring" after that season. So in my universe, either Dee Ford moves back six inches or tom brady's referee girlfriend doesn't try to impress him by throwing a flag, and we go to the Super Bowl. The Rams survived on defense, and the only way to beat the 2018 Chiefs was with a high-powered offense. The Chiefs would have dominated the game for their first Mahomes-era Super Bowl win.

The 2019 Super Bowl would have gone as normal. We had time to run Wasp.

The 2020 Super Bowl. The Fisher injury was the most fluky of flukes, a non-contact injury on a routine stride at the end of a routine play at the end of a strong Chiefs AFC Championship game win. That injury required the following:

Our second-RT had to move to LT.
Our starting RG had to move to RT
We brought in a backup RG who had only been with the team a month.

If Fisher didn't have that fluke, three offensive line spots would have been upgraded. Even with tom brady's referees attempting to swing the game in the first half, the Chiefs would have taken control of the game. The ONLY reason we lost was that our offensive line was in a shambles due to the injury to Fisher (and the earlier injury to Schwartz).

Super Bowl 55 was an easy win.

Super Bowl 56? If Tyreek had gotten into the end zone it would have been a different game. Even if that didn't happen, we were a bizarrely flukey 4th-down sack from taking the lead late in the 4th quarter. We can blame this loss on execution, but it was a coin flip on that 4th-down play. I think we were trying to score while killing clock, and accidentally outsmarted ourselves.

So in my mind, the Chiefs have been indisputably the best team in football for each of the past four seasons. Change a couple of coin flips and we would be rightfully recognized as the greatest NFL team of all time. And we would be (are) bulldozing our way now to a fifth straight championship.

I can fap to this.

It might be an angry fap, but those are fun too...

What if Lamar Kept the Texans in Dallas and the Cowboys moved to KC? Would we all be wearing blue and silver right now?
