Chiefs Unexpected benefits of winning it all - Page 3

**DaFace** · 02-14-2020, 02:53 PM

I'm not sure I ever fully appreciated that one benefit of making it to (and winning) the Super Bowl is the incredible volume of coverage that we now have of our team. I've always been the type to watch just about every press conference and read every article I can, and the number of both has been so high that I've long ago given up on keeping up.

Add to that the various NFL Films videos, all the talking heads dissecting the game, marathons of Mahomes' best games...it's crazy how easy it is to keep the excitement going even two weeks later.

What other unexpected benefits have we seen?

I’ve always worn my Chiefs gear out here in L.A. and never heard a peep about it — now everyone gushes about Mahomes and the Chiefs and the Super Bowl everywhere I go. The bandwagon has been overrun.

What a strange world haha, seems like yesterday they had paid a ton behind center now they have a bad team for the foreseeable future.

We basically are playing with house money for the offseason.

The focus now is on paying our own, and not hoping that the front office goes out and makes a splash in free agency that might get us over the hump.

We can sit back, play the field, and just make the most sound decisions for the team without needing a big splurge to try to get the fans excited, and finally win a title.

This will be the first offseason in now 28 years where i will just enjoy watching the process, and just seeing who we bring in without having a meltdown.

Next seasons slate of games, im just going to enjoy the show. We did it. I saw them win it all. Like Pat said. Ill talk about it forever.

We are gonna lose some pieces, and have some challenges, but right now, we are playimg with house money.

I think we see a savage Reid and Mahomes next year that are playing without any pressure, we could really be in for a fireworks show next year.

I say there is room on the bandwagon, but they have no right to cheer as loud because we have had misery to back us up.

**Iowanian** · 02-14-2020, 05:20 PM

I agree with all of that.

Furthermore, I believe that the combination of a Super Bowl win, Patrick Mahomes Andy the additional coverage and thereby marketability of players in KC, will make it an attractive FA destination.

I'm not quite sure how to articulate it, but I guess the overall closure of the achievement.

In every Chiefs season of the past in my lifetime, we'd end the season and I'd always look back on it with some sort of sadness. We didn't win the chip so it wasn't the outcome we were ultimately hoping for.

But now, any time I think of the Chiefs I immediately think about how we're Super Bowl champs. It's a great feeling of.. relief? I don't know. Tough to explain. Like we reached the top finally and no one can take that from us.

It's gonna be nice to not have to listen to opposing fans say shit like "Chiefs are choke artists" or "gonna be one and done" when playoff time comes around. They will now respect and fear us.

Bandwagon fans don't know the horror of herm edward as our coach. Losing joe Delaney and DT. having matt Cassel as a qb. They can be fans but they don't get to enjoy it like us!

KurtCobain · 02-14-2020, 07:16 PM

I love not having to hear fans of other teams asking me how long it's been since the Chiefs have won a Superbowl.
