Football Week 13 Rooting Guide (and now "other games thread") - Page 7

**DaFace** · 12:27 PM

I had this brilliant idea to use cdcox's software to put together a guide for who we should be rooting for to best help the Chiefs chances of making the playoffs. I always like stuff like that because it helps to tease out some of the nuances that you probably wouldn't have guessed:

The main one that's interesting to me in that is the Chargers game. Who would have thought that it's actually in our best interests for the Chargers to win today? That's mainly because the Chargers have a BRUTAL schedule to end the season, so it's unlikely they're going to be a threat for the WC spot anyway, so it's better for them to win now and take the Ravens down a notch.

(I should probably add that games not listed have essentially zero impact on our playoff chances.)

I was very proud of the great insight I gleaned from this analysis. That is...until I ran it with the Chiefs/Broncos game in there:

So basically, we can root for other teams all we want, but nothing matters NEAR as much as just taking care of our own business.

That the Rams are completely dominating with their backup QB while the Chiefs lost to a shitty team with their starter?

Which means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

KChiefs1 · 11-30-2014, 01:28 PM

38-0?

How did the Chiefs lose to this shit show? Chiefs should be embarrassed.

Won't do it for me.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Rams are a better team now than they were in October?

It was a rivalry game in primetime in nasty weather. Even when one team is great and the other isn't, it often is a competitive game. We have decades of evidence of this.

Considering you root for a team that usually has a losing record but always gives the Seahawks and Niners trouble, you should know this.

Of course we don't.

But shit like that doesn't belong there any more than it belongs in your workplace - assuming you've ever worked.

You want to demonstrate, go outside and do it on the sidewalk after you get off work.

But obviously it's impossible for them to improve.

Jesus, every team that isn't a ****ing juggernaut throws up at least 1 or 2 stinkers a year. It's unrealistic to ask them to be at the top of their game every single week. Chiefs stunk in Oakland and then they left Oakland. Maybe some of you guys should, too.
