I posted this in the Titans forum thread but thought it deserved its own thread. Having lived in Houston as a Chief fan during the Warren Moon years I wanted to see how the Houston fans reacted to the game. These fans have suffered even more than Chiefs fans, and there’s a huge because Houston vibe with several memorable meltdowns, including the largest in playoff history.
They haven’t seen their team even make the AFCCG since consecutive losses to the Steelers in 78-79 with Dan Pastorini as QB, and not before that (only titles were 60-61 AFL). Despite seven consecutive years of playoffs behind HOFer Moon, they never made it out of the divisional round. Their last shot with Moon was against the Chiefs in 93, the year after the Frank Reich game, when Montana led the Chiefs’ last best playoff comeback until yesterday. The Oilers were a 12-win team coming off the bye. Then the franchise moves to TN and within three years goes to the SB. I feel for these guys.
After last year’s AFCCG, it’s cathartic to be on the other side and see such similar emotions. Page 33 is the Hardman return. Before that they are in as much shock as we were. Within 15 minutes it becomes because Houston and Frank Reich memories. It’s worth a read.
I read like 50 pages of that, couldnt stop reading. Most of them were pretty reasonable and had a good idea of what their team was.
NOTHING like a game thread on CP. LOL [Reply]

I read it...I think it was no more than 7-8 posters in the whole thing and only 26 pages? CP's game threads even in the Herm years were more vibrant. Pretty sad and pathetic...
Most have resorted to hoping that by claiming out loud that KC is going to win the SB this year, it will reverse mojo a KC failure so they can continue their SB smack. [Reply]
Holy shit, that Pats thread starts with them all licking their chops about how we are shitting the bed, then switches to them claiming the fix is in and the refs are making sure the Chiefs win.
