Chiefs Special teams matter: The tale of the 2010 Chargers - Page 2

**RealSNR** · 08-25-2019, 05:14 PM

As we approach roster cutdown day, and people start to bitch loudly about certain guys who made the roster and certain guys who did not, remember that if you hear Reid or anybody justify that decision because of special teams, just take it, be glad, and move on.

In addition to bringing back fond memories of the Cassel 27-7 year, we also get to reminisce about just how ****ing putrid and awful Brodie Croyle was that one game.

And of course, laugh at the Chargers. Like, I know every year they're the best team to come up short in some category or measure. That's basically the story of their entire history. But this one is ESPECIALLY delightful.

And if you don't have time to watch this lovely video, I'd still recommend that you jump to 17:36 of the video and catch the final closing statement. A very special someone shows up.

They're very different experiences. I went through those years from 94 to when Rivers was drafted.
Now that the Chief's have Mahomes, you're entering what I've experienced since Rivers was drafted.
Every year you don't win it all will only tarnish Mahomes image. And be more painful than an 8-8 season.

You said this.... Sure looks like wanting sympathy to me.

As Chiefs fans, don't they have examples like this related to the Chiefs?

I mean, would I have rather seen the chargers do it instead of yet another Cheatriot super bowl? Sure. Especially when we were god ****ing awful.

But if you want to compare battle scars I’ll put ours up against anybody’s.

Good thing, get the **** outta here. No sympathy here given.

**Gadzooks** · 08-25-2019, 07:17 PM

Well of course you think that. One severe leg injury will limit Mahomes into an average pocket passer, so we'll see how that turns out.

Kinda like Rivers has been his whole career? Real telling that you would wish an injury. Just like a SD/LA fan, where's the next stop?

In his first season, Mahomes took a historically bad defense to a 1 seed and an offsides penalty away from the SB.

Rivers has blown seasons with teams that were considered elite year-after-year.

Are you saying that a severe leg injury would limit Mahomes' mobility, which is why you think he would be only an "average pocket passer?" As in... the reason why Mahomes is so dangerous instead of an average QB is because he's mobile?

If that is your argument... well, I hope you enjoy getting repeatedly ass****ed the next many years by the thing you seem to not understand very well.

**notorious** · 08-25-2019, 07:26 PM

Gads is ****ing with you guys.

Rivers had a HOF RB and TE, along with some excellent defenses to bail him out.

He chokes. I like the guy (unlike a lot of you), but that's what he is.

Sometimes I enjoy taking trolls down the rabbit hole.

If nobody bites, there's no trolltainment. Sometimes you have to be the one to do it if nobody else will.

I ****ed it all up SNR.

I like Gads, too.

Proceed.

While Notorious is correct in saying I'm ****ing with you guys, (why would a Chargers fan spend any time on a Chiefs board other than to **** with them and enjoy threads like "Female Celebrities" and "Women with clothes and then naked "?
The point of the video posted by SNR is that 1 measly area of a football team can **** up your entire season.
This is why the quote "Rivers has blown seasons with teams that were considered elite year-after-year", could be replaced with "Mahomes" instead of "Rivers" if the same circumstances were to happen to the Chiefs.

BTW - The funny thing about being a pro-rival fan poster is how fast the narrative starts. (I don't consider myself a troll, just a guy who roots for a rival team who happens to enjoy the CP community)
- First I'm accused of looking for sympathy.
- Then I'm told to "get the **** out"
- Then I'm accused of wishing an injury on Mahomes.

Any conversations outside of the Chargers are generally cordial, but bring up the Chiefs or something pro Chargers and "Whoa Nelly", it's a ****in' shitstorm.
