AZ~ 15 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 OK I'll admit I used the "panic" word to stir up some debate. Me I'm to the point now of being ambivalent about the Chiefs. I was on an emotional roller coaster for so long I just got tired. I'm pleased if they win and non-pulsed if they lose. The good news for me my son-in-law along with myself and two grandsons have been giving some thought about traveling to Phoenix on Dec 7th to see the Cardinals game and play some golf. After yesterday we have scuttled that plan. Good deal as it will save me around $3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcchief4lif 910 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wise move AZ. I'm Still gonna go to all the prime time games but man it's not going to be near as fun as it could have been if they were on the rise. Instead of this lead filled balloon.

kcchief4lif 910 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 25-26 years of let downs.. I love them and I'll always root, but I'm just done with getting worked up. Whatever happens happens.. I give until the next long pass is thrown on the defense. That seems to get you pretty fired up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I like to watch good football. I wish I could have experienced that last Sunday. Instead, I watched, and now I carp. However, outside of this forum, and an occasional tweet, I quickly refocused my attention to my new to me truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calichief 3,016 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Just teasing! I know you were. After so many years it's real hard to take over and over. That to me, was the most epic fail of all time. No possible way to lose that game. I will have a hard time ever having faith until see them actually win a playoff game.

West 6,713 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The 90's were truly brutal.....much worse than now. We actually had visions of winning championships, only to be kicked in the nuts year after year after year.... w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Actually, that is not true in my case and maybe others here? I used to go all out for game day and I was emotionally vested in the games outcome. For me, emotionally vested meant that a loss on Sunday would ruin my day and put a dark cloud over Monday, Tuesday and begin to lift on Wednesday. Emotional vesting means the Chiefs had a real say in regards to my quality of life for a specific period of time. Those days are gone.....and the only way they have a chance of coming back is PLAYOFF WINS. The Chiefs have to earn my trust and my heart. The Indy Playoff game last year only re-inforced those feelings. It's probably just me. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do believe they are building a strong core of good youung players...with Cap friendly contracts. I think we will see several years of good football after this year..I'm not sure Andy Reid will be coaching them, but I think we will be fielding competitive teams..At least I hope. Once we cut Bowe, and get a young stud WR in here, things will get better offesively. Couple that with Kelce and hopefully a good young oline (in the future) we should be pretty. But this year??? It's gonna be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we lose, I go through a stage of "I'm not really interested in football. I have other things I need to do." I avoid football like I avoid alcohol after a hangover - the smell or look of it is disgusting. Then, the next few days, the itch comes back. I'm Brett Favre. The line is 13.5 for next game. I say we rally to keep it within 13. Who's with me?! (Right now 13.5 sounds like the over/under just for our points, let alone the spread.)

Even in bad years I keep watching but from a different perspective. Someone put it perfectly elsewhere. I start considering it preseason for the next year. I look more at individual players hoping to see improvement. I pay closer attention to the draft. Once in a while it gets to a point, if the team is really bad, I won't watch because it’s just not fun. Two years ago I was so disgusted with the time wasted on Romeo Crennel. Time I knew was going to be wasted from the get-go. I tuned out. I had tickets to the finale in DEN and sold them cause I just couldn’t bear it. I didn’t even watch the game. I was glad because they got blown out. A few extra presents under the tree. This year, I never bought DEN tickets because I feared a blowout might be coming. Take DEN -13.5. I can see DEN laying 50-60 points easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,686 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 If I were Clark Hunt I'd be wondering why we are cursed. Hiring who on paper seem to be just what the DR ordered and within just a couple of years see thast I have thrown my $$ down the toilet yet another year. If I were Clark I might be in real concern mode on John Dorsey. His Packer & KC ties made for a great story and the first year really set the hook in many including myself but like a wise old bass that has seen these artificial lures before I jump out of the water ,shake my head and the lure flies hopelessly away.

kcchief4lif 910 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It is amazing how all the perinial losers can turn it around and have some sustained success in about 2-3 years. Yet this team takes 3-4 to get the playoffs then its dimantle time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
