I just keep finding myself bored on Sundays these days, which is where the question came from.

On the surface it seems like a dumb question (we're in it for the championships), but when I look back on a year like 2003, it was a fun year... going 9-0, I went to the Bills SNF game and a couple others, and I went to the playoff game against the Colts. By that time I had gotten out of feeling devastated for days after big losses, so while it was disappointing, I don't look back on it like I do '95 and '97.

I voted the second option, but with the right mindset, the first option is better, especially if you're talking about 7-8 years of what we've seen from the Chiefs the past two years, followed by 2-3 years of SB runs (and you didn't say "and win a SB").

If this was about college, I'd say the first option, no question... March Madness is a crapshoot, and the BCS is crap... the NFL is a bit tougher though.
