You know, I really wish this high altitude BS would work for the CU Buffs, or the CSU Rams. I mean, it's really just so simple: they play at a mile high, it's a huge advantage, winning should just happen.

Oh wait... it's not that simple. Unless you're a complete reerun, then you believe it is that simple.

How about the Denver Nuggets, this high altitude advantage should work for them, right? You know those NBA guys, super great athletes, just come on over to the Nuggets, it's championship haven over in Denver. Why? Because of the altitude, you idiot!!

Shit, you guys are hilarious. Elway's comebacks were entirely a result the altitude? Anyone who comes here is functionally "drugged" and it's not fair? You'll basically create any narrative you can think of to convince yourselves it's not the Chiefs shitty job of running their team poorly they've been worse than Denver so many decades. If Denver's altitude always afforded the Broncos at least a .500 football team, they wouldn't have sucked in the 60's and 70's. It's not like we were are sea level during that time.

And much of the effect has been proven to be psychological. Real altitude sickness doesn't really show until you go above 8000 feet. When it does affect you here, it will account for a 10% loss of efficiency in periods of ongoing cardio, like distance running or soccer. But in the stop and go world of the NFL, it's not as bad as people tell themselves. And with heavy hydration and the fact that all teams have O2 masks now, it can all be mitigated. But we sure don't mind reminding them. They've proven this with blood levels and actual science, not the comments of some fat Chief fan who can't walk up the stairs. And the more in shape a person is, the less they are affected. Hint: Professional athletes count in this category.

Oh look...another Donko-tard rationalizing. No one said anything about "sickness"...it's about physical fatigue late in games.

God..does every one of their fans live in fantasy-land?

Are you going to attempt to sell Sanchez as Wolrd Champion 2017 too?

5. Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver Broncos

Denver has the NFL's best home winning percentage going back 30 years, at .700.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/8...advantage-no-5

So you just ignore the stats on that link? Perfect. Since 1990, Denver is 4th with only 4 more home wins than KC.

No..you ignored that over the past 30 years...Denver has the #1 ranked home field record. Which coincides with the fact it's the only stadium where the opponent has to wear oxygen masks.

Which was my initial point...

KC's home record is just a red herring argument you pulled out of your ass...

Everyone knows..including your polluted fan-base..that without homefield last season...Denver's SB chances were nill.

We understand, Denver fans will not consider that other teams not acclimated to the altitude might be gassed at the end of the game, and it is hard to imagine how bad the Denver teams of the 60's and 70's actually were (they have a QB that threw 34 interceptions in a single season and 80 in a three season stretch in their Ring of Honor).

wtf? real altitude sickness?

But, if you happen to be on a tight schedule, and you do not have the luxury of gradually acclimating, then you are more likely to have some problems. In fact, about 25% of unacclimated people will develop some symptoms of altitude sickness at 6,000 feet.

Good grief, a donkey fan assuring everyone that it's not as bad as it seems.
Those long drives in the second half, when the defense has been on the field for over eight minutes of game time (maybe 2x-3x of actual time), are they allowed to strap on the old oxygen mask?

Pro-Bowler Ryan Clark was deactivated for four games against Denver due to the altitude, does he count?

Now waddle back to your safe space on the mange.

Who cares about home field.

Let's talk about 'WWE Theory.' Something even MHM acknowledges.

BroncoDork · 08-13-2016, 04:47 PM

KC may be able to take the AFCW title this year but Denver won't give it up easily. KC may finally have the confidence to do it, they've played with a loser's mentality for a long time. When KC had a chance to screw something up, KC did so. KC actually may have managed to put together a good team and coaching staff since Marty and Vermeil.

They won't?

How do you know this?
