Chiefs The big epiphany for me regarding this weekend's game.

htismaqe · 01-15-2019, 11:48 AM

Yes, I love that they finally won a home playoff game.

Yes, I love that they finally beat the Colts.

Yes, I love that they are in the AFC Championship game for the first time since before I was married or had kids.

Yes, I will weep like a baby if they even make it to the Super Bowl, let alone win it.

But no - I won't be devastated if they lose on Sunday. I'll be disappointed, sure. But I won't be crushed.

Why? Because they got beat by Tom Brady. Tom Brady, as we hear so often, is 41 years old.

Patrick Mahomes is TWENTY THREE.

In the past, "there's always next year" was a phrase held in derision by Chiefs fans.

That's no longer the case. Because Mahomes. There actually IS next year. In fact, Tom Brady is FORTY ONE. There's going to be "next year", as a Chiefs fan, for the next DECADE AND A HALF!

So here's to a win on Sunday, which the Chiefs and their fans richly deserve, and I honestly think they will get. However, if they don't?

There's always next year.

They will win Sunday. Changing of the guard. Passing the torch.

I feel the exact same way. But since the Chiefs have exceeded expectations so far this year, I want them to win it all now and put Brady out to pasture.

Absolutely for sure.

Screw that noise. Ask Marino about waiting til next year.

We’re going to open a 40 lb box of rape on the Pats.

I never said ANYTHING about waiting until next year.

You literally said “there’s always next year”.

The lesson of Marino is absolutely correct. There is no guarantee about next year. Its football and shit happens you never thought would. The opportunity is now, they must seize it now!

That's a lesson for the Chiefs. I'm not the Chiefs, I'm a fan.

How do you suppose Dolphin fans felt after the "lesson of Marino". That's right, they didn't actually learn that lesson until AFTER HE RETIRED.

Yup. We have a lot of contracts in flux. We may never be this healthy this late. Who knows when the next afc championship HOME game will be. Im optimistic about the future. But I'm not even thinking about next year. In our history, we've never been so well built to take it right now.

Ive been thinking about how the narrative the last game was about how we clowned them and if we had hoodie and Brady figured out. This year it's us with the chip on our shoulder because of our earlier season loss.

Reid is out for blood. Mahomes is out for blood. God I hope our defense is too.

I really think that replacing Parker and Scandrick with Lucus and Ward has really changed the dynamic of this defense.

The improved coverage and tackling on the back end allows for more attacking on the front end.

I'll be surprised is they give up 20 points.

This is why I wouldn’t put Berry in that starting role. I think he should play Murray’s role.

They won’t do it, but I don’t want to mess with what’s working for somebody that hasn’t finished a game yet.

I'd be just fine with Berry in a very limited role.

Just for lack of game shape alone. No way is he a 100% cardio game shape let alone hitting shape.

Limited sure. Maybe just red zone possessions.
