What bothers you the most about this franchise?

[Best22]

For me, it's easy.

The only NFL franchise with fewer Conference Championship appearances is the Houston Texans (est. 2002). The Chiefs and Lions are tied with 1 (and the Lions are a pure garbage franchise with 1 playoff victory since 1958 and a host of other embarrassment, only franchise in NFL that is clearly inferior to the Chiefs)

Here's why it hurts. With Superbowl wins, well, you have around 30 teams, and the game has only been around since 1966. With our SB IV trophy, we are still on track for one every 32 years. Okay then. I don't see that as a proper way to show the Chiefs incompetence as a franchise

But the AFCCG. There are 16 AFC teams. That means 1 of 8 teams play in it. So, mathematically, we should be there once every 8 years. Instead, for KC it has been once every 48 years. That's what bothers me the most about this franchise. Chargers have been there 4 times. Donks and Faiders, lol, I ain't counting all that

So get a team that is actually capable of winning big in the playoffs and maybe just maybe we will appear in that game once again...

The Chiefs franchise, overall, seems to lack vision. They have routinely spent valuable resources to acquire other team's rejects at the most important positions. Head coaches and quarterbacks in particular.

Even their minor successes (2 years of Montana; 5 years of Green; 5 years of Vermeil) all were achieved by overpaying which left them fewer resources to build a championship caliber team.

What bothers me the most is that it seems ownership accepts losing because the fan base accepts losing.

The old saying of: Good enough for who it's for, seems to apply here.

Fans want to tailgate, get hammered, cuss and yell for three hours then drive home without worry of being stopped.

Last week was the first time that I intentionally made plans so I wouldn't watch the game. I'm 59 years old and am tired of expending energy on the . Revoke my fandom, call me a fair weather fan, etc.

We.Will.Never.Win.With.Andy.
Or.Clark.

They finally managed to destroy my enjoyment of football. That and all the stupid rules protecting the quarterback. Not "our" quarterback, just those special few as chosen by the league.

The homers who enable its behavior. Bunch of slack jawed yokels.

The lack of accountability, top to bottom.

It's the organization, and it started before you were born.

[Easy 6]

The lack of a gritty, mean fighters mentality... on both sides of the ball

And I don't mean blowing up at the refs or other similar idiocy, I mean going after guys who cheap shot and otherwise play dirty, I mean getting nasty when your QB gets mugged, or deciding that against physical team X we're damn we'll gonna run the ball 3 straight times on 3rd and short to prove a point

It also extends into the office... I used to get so furious at how badly and often Hali would get put in a patented chokehold as he rounded the edge, NEVER getting the call

I expect Clark to raise hell about that kinda shit to the proper authorities, to fight for his ****ing team

You have zero ownership involvement. Know why the steelers always win? Because the rooneys live 5 minutes away from the stadium, open and close the doors every morning and are not happy with 2nd place. Our owner lives in Dallas, gives the keys to someone and says ok here you go, it was the same with Lamar. The clarks run this organization like a business and only care about the bottom line. Lamar even said on radio back when he was trying to redo the stadium he would rather the team go 10-6 every year and make the playoffs than win the superbowl once, 10-6 allows you to raise ticket prices every year and pad your bottom line. Clark is the same. He probably goes to the exec offices once a month.

Someone has been saying something about hiring a CEO....

[Chief_For_Life58]

Yeah I mean im not going to lie I am part of the problem. I have paid for season tickets for the past 4 years now because I enjoy going to the games and tailgating before the game. Its a fun day. I pay for the organization to perennially be shitty. I dont want to give my seats up. Me doing that wouldnt change anything either. The organization is content with being 8-8 because the owner is content with being 8-8 because the owner lives in Dallas and the franchise makes money. Why move to KC and really be involved and try and win a superbowl? Who cares? Thats Clarks mentality.

Has anyone ever thought about hiring a CEO?

TV revenue is where the coin is....tickets are gravy on top.

And there you have it....No incentive. At all.

The fact that the majority of the fan base seems absolutely content with going 8-8 every year. Then they call other fans "fair weather" for calling out the way the team is playing or how the organization operates in general. And when you say things like "Clark knows all the Chiefs have to do is go 8-8 every year and the stadium will stay filled and they can keep raising the price of parking," they just can't seem to grasp it. Until those lowest common denominator type of fans start demanding more, we won't get more. Correct me if I'm wrong bc I'm not from the KC area, I live in PA. But whenever I get into it with other Chiefs fans on FB that's usually how it goes.

Fan base. We are so impatient. Always wanting someone fired.

What is the common denominator since inception? Hunt family.
