Plenty are happy with every seasons end results. Winning the AFCW and One and done has been the pinnacle for decades. They are content with those results. [Reply]

Not content.. but it could have been a lot worse.
That, and it could have been better, had certain players actually been healthy to play, as paid for. [Reply]

Eh. I don't trust the Chiefs with a first round bye [Reply]

And this is where the other side looses me
Sure, some guys were hurt. That’s the nfl.
At some point, alex needed to carry them a little. I realize he’s not that guy and can’t, but that’s also why they’re moving on.
Alex is dependent on the guys around him. It is what it is. I appreciate what he’s brought here, but I don’t think it’s wrong to be dissatisfied with the playoff result, which some put on the qb.

Personally, I'd say being competitive in the very few real tests per season, and winning in mid-late January.
Being thrilled about beating a 9 win team in the playoffs is kind of pathetic (for the franchise, not fans), or winning a home playoff game against anybody because there are players in the NFL who were born the year that last happened.
There's obviously no shame in lower expectations and enjoying whatever you find entertaining.... personally, it would be pretty nice to see them in games that really matter more often than once every 25 years while not wondering how they're going to fuck it up this time. [Reply]

Different in the NFL and also different when it's just five more years of the same failed, bullshit approach the franchise has been trying for 40 years. [Reply]

There’s a lot of contradiction here though. Admittedly the chiefs have been the anti clutch franchise for 25 years. So now that they’re actually showing some signs of turning that around with their play and their decisions, we aren’t supposed to be excited? [Reply]

Yep. Blame the franchise not the fans.
20 years ago the Patriots were just happy to "make noise" in the playoffs.
Now a season without a a Superbowl win is a failure, and a season without an AFCCG appearance is a crushingly disastrous season
Chief fans will change once their franchise changes. Steelers have numerous Home divisional playoff wins. Chiefs have 0
