Is anyone else now uninterested in the Chiefs' past?
As I bask in the sunshine of the Mahomes era, I find myself far less interested in the past. I don't care about past playoff losses, I don't fret about past quarterbacks, and Herman Edwards can talk about whatever he wants. The current Chiefs have no relation to the past, and I find myself living in the present and looking forward to the future. I like this new life of mine.
I realize now that nearly every playoff game in my memory has been mid-level teams squabbling for table scraps. We lost to the Colts? Who cares? Neither team was going anywhere anyway. I have released my anger. Matt Cassel? Who cares? It's the past. He's gone. We have a franchise quarterback. Does anyone else feel the same way? |

Yes, and it grows every single game I watch this kid play. I appreciate the past and the great players we've had come through here, but I want to live in the future with this team now, not the past and the "would've, could've, should've" teams.

Yes. I lived through the clown show Marty years. The offense of DV. The Dark ages. The hopeless years of Alex.
Almost 4 decades of complete humiliation as a chiefs fan. It’s a new era and a new beginning. |

In the Alex Smith days I used to enjoy old Chief highlights from the 1990s. Something got rewired in my brain and now I just don’t care.
It’s irrelevant. Only thing I care about is that we won a dusty, old Superbowl from 1969 and it’s time to add another one to the trophy case I’m also super relaxed before games now. I just enjoy them. If we look like trash early on, I know Reid and Mahomes can sort it out. If we lose, there’s always next week and you just know Mahomes will always give you a chance to win. He’s not going to curl into a ball in the clutch, this man will go out swinging, win or lose. |

I am mindful and wary of the defense only because I cherish the defenses of days gone by, but otherwise I'm with you on this.

I like looking back because it makes me appreciate Mahomes that much more. But I've definitely let go of a lot of the angst.

I'm more interested. Having reached the light at the end of the tunnel I can now think about all those shitty years as prologue to this. It's no longer just a string of abject failure without an end in sight.

The main thing this era has done for me is it has made me less bitter. I still love discussing old times, though...and it feels good to be able to do so without feeling a ton of angst. |

Once we win a playoff game at home, yes.
And, hell yeah, I want to forget the Chiefs History from 2005 to 2017 |
