He's paid to be on the Chiefs, we're not being paid to be fans, this transaction is one way, all the way. Our expectations of him are rightly justified and our criticisms are based upon decades of failure, we know what a bad team looks like. Instead of talking shit about the fans, he needs to talk to his teammates that are making him look bad by missing assignments, making stupid mistakes and just outright not giving a shit anymore.

Might not have been before this, but it's a safe bet Clark Hunt's first phone call when he saw these comments was to Veach. The Chiefs will tolerate bad play, but when somebody trashes the fans they are trashing a huge part of the Chiefs brand/image. His extension is dead in the water. [Reply]

Yeah that's not how it works at all. If they're not @'d, then they'd have to either be following that account or search for that shit in order to see it.
There's no way Hitchens could have seen that post unless he was searching his name. [Reply]

I think what's equally frustrating is the hypocrisy of it all.
When he says something stupid, he thinks he can say "Hey, I'm a passionate guy and I was frustrated..." and we'll forgive him.
Meanwhile he won't view fan reaction from the exact same perspective.
Like I said - I'm just over these guys. The attitude of the defense is rotten and frankly some of it seems to be frustration born of Pat not bailing their sorry asses out as much. If this team is 5-2 right now (as they should be but/for a couple of uncharacteristic turnovers), the defense isn't taking as many arrows and they're not barking like they are.
They've coasted on Mahomes greatness for so long that they've come to use it as a crutch. Now with him looking a bit mortal of late, they're lashing out. Yeah - definitely done with this group. [Reply]

Anyone not still on their rookie contract….can get fucked. [Reply]

Incorrect.
We'll be cheering for the success of the team. If HB is part of making that happen, great. That IS after all why is he getting compensated as one of the highest paid safeties in the league.
Hope he quits bitching on Twitter and balls out the rest of the year.
And then he can GTFO after this season is over. Regardless of whether we're back in another Super Bowl or out of the playoffs entirely this year. [Reply]
Exactly. As the "leader" of this defense he's spent more time publicly embarrassing his teammates by gesticulating at them for fucking up, then turn around and get all in his feelings when the fans see the same crap and rightfully shit on them for it. [Reply]
Take it for what it's worth, but Shaun Smith tweeted that there will be a trade between the AFC west and nfc west sometime this afternoon. Which seems to hint that kc is one of the parties. I know, I know... Random sources. But feel like he would have some inside info from kc. [Reply]
