Yep. Mahomes said the other day (paraphrased) that he remembers the Super Bowl loss much more than the Super Bowl win. The learnings from both are invaluable [Reply]

For the first-ever game, I was at Arrowhead with my dad and his co-worker and his family. The Chiefs had been mildly upset by the Bengals (surprise surprise) the week before, and the Chiefs looked for a bounce-back game against the Eagles a week later.
It was very rainy that day, and before the game my dad made a bet with his coworker that the Eagles would win. The Fleagles were terrible back then, kind of like the Texans are today. Well, the Eagles won. The only thing I remember is a long bomb being thrown (can't remember if it was Len Dawson or the Fleagle's quarterback) and two Chiefs leaping up for it, the ball bouncing of their hands and into a Fleagle defender or receiver and that player pretty much walking the rest of the way in for a score.
The Chiefs should do much better on Sunday.
Is that even possible at this point? I thought all Bengals fans despised this team and fanbase. [Reply]

So it's funny, but I watched that ESPN special about the 2000 Ravens last night and they had mentioned how Gregg Williams who was the DC of the Titans at that time actually stole the playbook out of Dilfer's bag. At the start of one of the games the Titans were dominating the Ravens due to that. From what Dilfer said, that many years later Williams admitted to it. Completely unrelated to what you posted, but made me think about that. [Reply]
“I’m definitely in a better spot. I can move around better than I did two weeks ago…I’ll be able to move around better for sure, and we’ll see on game day how close to 100% I can be.”

That gives the Eagles the edge at 13 spots, the Chiefs the edge at 9. And you could make arguments in a few directions. But acting like the Eagles just have overwhelmingly a better roster is folly.
IDK about NB. Avonte Maddox is one of the best slot corners. [Reply]

I consider that to be Sneed for KC. Who is an elite slot corner and better than Maddox. But I’d also take Sneed over Bradberry.
The Chiefs’ secondary is vastly underrated because of what happened when McDuffie was out. Fewer names, but Sneed-McDuffie-Watson is not as separated from Slay-Bradberry-Maddox as seems to be common thought. [Reply]

No. We lived in Overland Park from March, 1972 to July, 1975 and then moved to Cincinnati. My older sister, who was 19 at the time stayed behind. She married and by the early 90s her co-workers got her interested in the Chiefs. I watched the Chiefs beat the hated Pittsburgh Steelers on a day when it was about 2 degrees in Mason, OH (northwest of Cinti) where i lived at the time. Back then and pretty much for the next 10 years the Bengals were terrible and the Chiefs had some good years.
When the Chiefs won the Super Bowl against the 49ers, I was happy for all of you. It's something the Bengals failed to do twice.
The last two years have been crazy, but no not all Bengal's fans hate the Chiefs. Most of my family is looking forward to years of fun games and Patrick/Joe B. becoming a rivalry for the ages. [Reply]

I think most people that aren't KC fans just remember us needing corners a few years ago. [Reply]
Over the last 3 days i have kept a separate window open and read this entire fucking thread. I have determined that not only will we win but the Eagles will also lose! Fuck Philly! [Reply]
