Now I'm like "the regular season is fun....but it doesn't matter until the playoffs start". It's hard to articulate but everyone is so spot on in that we'd be attached to regular season wins, and even just some good series here or there. Now, the shift is "this is all window dressing until it comes nut cutting time". |

I actually gave up early in 2016 or so. I quit CP and had basically resigned myself to dying without ever seeing the Chiefs win an AFCCG let alone a SB. For me, it's all about Mahomes now. He's the reason I came back.

And once Mahomes retires, outside of a Favre-Rodgers type of hand off, I'll probably be done with the NFL completely and leave on the highest note possible. Who knows what the league will look like by then though, better or worse. |

When you remember people like coach Paul Wiggin or Herman Heard or Jackie Battle or Larry Brunson or Jerry Blanton, you know you have witnessed some horrendous shit as a Chiefs fan for a long time.
Funny thing is I had to listen to a bunch of shit for years on the Cowboys from my best friends and a little from Dolphins, Steelers and Raiders fans. Boy oh boy have the tables turned. |

Offensive stats are down terribly. I've found my self locked in my bedroom, looping my fav playlist over and over: "Alone Again Naturally", "Hurt", "Nothing Compares 2 U", mixed with a few songs by Radiohead, The Smiths, Nick Drake, and Joy Division...so yeah, it's all good. Things can't get any worse, right?

I remember the days when I thought I'd die of old age before I ever saw this team win another playoff game. They really weren't all that long ago. Over two decades of wretched suck, when we generally fielded good teams, only to see them lose close games for maddening reasons to lesser teams in the playoffs, always.
That last loss to the Colts in 2014 nearly broke me. Blowing that huge lead, against those hellspawn ****s, was cruelty upon cruelty. To me, the most emotionally satisfying playoff win during the Mahomes era isn't a Super Bowl or the 13 second Buffalo game - it was when we FINALLY got that goddamn ****ing blue monkey off our backs and beat them in a playoff game that we all knew we should win but in the past never did. I was like a whipped dog watching that game, absolutely terrified, just waiting for shit to go sideways at the end. And then it finally, mercifully, didn't happen. I cried real tears after that one. That was when I knew the sky was truly the limit. It didn't happen that year, but we didn't have long to wait. |

Yeah the loss to the Colts in Jan 2014 almost made me quit watching. That one still hurts.
For over 20 years it looked like the Chiefs would never win another playoff game. I'm sure the Bill and Bengals feel similar though they haven't had the SB success. Point is, a franchise QB can change the fortunes of the lowliest of franchises. |

I do, yes, which is why I don’t trash the primary reason for that success in game threads because he made a rare bad play.
