Chiefs **** this team for making me care again - Page 5

**Baby Lee** · 10-18-2010, 07:57 AM

In the interest of 'always look[ing] on the briiight si-ide of life [dah dum, dah deedle deedle dee];

I really hope this loss nets positive for the team, and I think it can. We could very possibly have been 5-0 right now, but we could also be a very young 5-0 team that thinks their shit doesn't stink. Maybe if this game sets firmly in their young minds that you can do a lot of good things and play what you think is your very best and still lose if you break attention even for a moment, we'll get some more committed and mentally tough players.

I'm getting visions of the team's 'stars' buckling down, Flowers running coverages an hour longer, DJ doing a couple more reps in the weight room, Bowe spending a little longer with the Juggs machine, each with a slow burn of regret and slight wince of missed opportunities pushing them on.

The thread that wouldn't die!

Just so's it's clear: I am not down on the team. I am not giving up. Being pissed about that loss is a GOOD thing. It's GOOD that they have me caring again. I don't remember the last time I carried a loss into Monday. It hurts, but it also makes me feel like a fan again. It sucks being numbed to defeats.

From my standpoint, the harder the defeats hurt, the greater the victories will feel. I'm not going to apologize for the extremes. I'm not going to shrug off tough losses and golf clap at big victories. That's just not how I roll.

And I think there's a big difference between saying "This defeat hurts like hell" and "**** it, fire everyone [Gary Oldman: "EVERYONE!"]." The latter is not what I'm doing here.

So, to reiterate: Damn them for blowing a winnable game in Houston in excruciating fashion. Now, let's beat Jacksonville.

After a little sleep it's clearer.

If you had told me in August that the Chiefs would be 3-2 and winning the afcw right now, I'd have taken that bet, because the W-L is better than I expected.

The only reason the last 2 weeks have hurt is that the Chiefs had a real chance at winning.
The Defense needed to make 1 stop, the offense needed 1 more first down with less than 3 minutes to go. The wrong calls on the defensive encroachment and PI didn't make it easier, but the Chiefs still had a chance to make game winning plays on both sides of the ball.

the next few games should be considered winnable if the team is worth a damn....

I'm just glad my bad girlfriend has been at least giving me reason to believe she won't always be a filthy, heart breaking whore....she tried to be faithful yesterday, I guess that is all I can ask for now.

Bearcat's right. I was good and pissed for about an hour or so after the game. Then, I just had to let it go. Watching the Huskers shit the bed at home, then the Chiefs have a heartbreaking loss, this kind of weekend used to ruin my whole week. Now, it's Monday, I have my opinions, but it's not the end of the world. It CAN'T be. I understand those who carry it longer, like I said I used to be that guy too. All I can say is, hopefully at some point you'll learn to let it go more quickly.

Their pretty much doing exactly what I expected at this point. Actually, they're above expectations despite dropping 2 in a row.

If they pick up a QB in the first round next years draft I'll be walking around with a perma-feather stuck up my ass.

I'd actually like to thank this team for making my son care again. He is only 12, and was a big Chiefs fan with Dante Hall being his favorite player in the NFL. The Chiefs lost him at 9 or 10 with their suckage, and this team has won him over again. It feels good to have my son wanting to watch the Chiefs games with me again.

So thank you to Haley, for making my son care about this team again. As for me, I have always cared since I was about 12 as well... way back in the day! Hope my son gets to see a couple of Super Bowls like I did, and I can be there to enjoy them with him!

I'm still recovering ... from the loss to the Mannings. Then, they jam this turd in my eye socket.

I hate everybody today. Especially Mr. the Talking Can and Mr. Mr. Flopnuts and Mr. Simply Red. And Casswipe. And Pioli. And Gary Kubiak.
