I am a Chiefs fan...

Took the words right out of my mouth. Rec’d…and thank you.

The Chiefs, though improved, still aren’t a team that we can realistically expect to win. Fortunately we are enough improved as a team that I don’t automatically expect to lose either.

Coach Haley has been saying all season the “we are trying to become a good team” and he said that after the losses AND after the wins. I don’t think a lot of fans understood what he has known all along this season. We are not yet a good team…but we are moving in the correct direction.

I am a Chiefs fan and I applaud this vastly improved team and the coaching staff!

Chiefs Will!!!

this team is now showing itself to be what most of us thought it was: average. Average is better than piss poor, which is what this team has been for the past few years. Many Chiefs fans got all starry eyed after the hot start, and came crashing down to earth after this beat down. Good teams lay eggs all the time in the NFL & this is no different.

A team that sells out to win it all now is a team that is setting itself up to fail miserably later (see Minnesota, Dallas) This team is doing things the right way and building for the long haul. Great teams aren’t built in one season. The Chiefs are making good decisions from an oranizational standpoint and they will continue to draft well & build DEPTH which is what we have none of now. This is a team on the upswing, despite the bludgeoning that took place today. Rec’d.

Burp

This is exactly the type of level headed post we needed after that game.

I too am a Chiefs fan through the good and the bad, like most others on this site, I would assume.

But there is no need for the emotional mood swings that get thrown around here after a win or a loss.

We are a VERY average team. We have weaknesses, we have strentghts, but we are better than we have been for some time. I hate the Donks and this loss stinks, but tomorrow is a new day.

The season isn’t over and the franchise isn’t sinking….

If I can live through 71, 95,97 seasons this isn’t even a blip on the screen. I remember sittin in arrowhead I think in 77 and the steelers came in and beat us like 49 to O. I’ve seen much darker times as a Chiefs fan. Forty years and waiting, somewhat patiently.

The Chiefs are my team. Thank the powers that be for NFL Season Ticket. Otherwise all I’d get to see are the 49’ers & the Raiders. That would just suck! That being said, the past two or three years have taught me an exceedingly improtant life lesson…

No matter how ugly the game was, if the outcome of the Chiefs’ game is the worst thing that happens to you this week, you are going to have a pretty good week.

rec’d, bajah

  And the home of the…

I knew a K-Stater could bring everyone back to earth and put it into perspective. I too have been searching for the words to say what you said. I’m as disappointed as anyone with this loss. The Broncos have always been my #1 rival spending the last 11 years in western KS and eastern CO, so this one stings. I posted “Chiefs Will” on my Facebook page yesterday and a friend who’s a Bronco fan replied with “Chiefs Wilt.”
I’ve always been as loyal as an old dog to the Chiefs and this year has me feeling closer to the team than I’ve ever felt. I found a “home” on AP earlier in the year just hoping to find some news on draft prospects. I’ve been excited about our draft class since day one and with my dad living in St. Joe, I got to attend my first Chiefs Training Camp. I feel like I’m part of something that’s on the verge of greatness and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

That what an NFL Season is all about. This game was part of that dip in a Roller Coaster Ride that preceeds the long climb up and then ends in another rush of excitement.

Our Run Game shows its warts but the Pass Game showed it can provide some spark when called on. The Defense still needs work but at least most of the yardage given up was at point of catch and not Yards after Catch. And for the most part the coverage teams covered.

I saw a game where we just needed some play makers to make plays on Defense to stop a few drives. Just a couple of passes defended and a ZIG instead of a ZAG on Berry’s long return and we could have had a different game. Could have been worse but it also could have been better. We don’t have that far to go that a little more improvement at a few positions will make this a very good year to be a Chiefs fan.

I too feel it when “my guys” let me/us down. Players, coaches, hell maybe even the water boys had a part in the last 2 weeks of pain. I think it sucks too. But where am I Monday morning? Scoping out ticket prices to find a bargin! If some of these bandwagoners jump off the inflated ticket prices just might come back to earth. There’s no other place I’d rather be come Sunday! I heard a saying years ago that I adapted and use. “Hell, I don’t want to live forever..I just want to live to see Kellogg done and the Chiefs win a Superbowl!” (Kellogg is a main road in our burg that has undergone endless construction forever) We need to start a thread…..“You might be a Chiefs fan if……”

This is a perfect example of why I joined AP – most of the people here are true Chiefs fans and there’s substance, weight and depth to almost every post.
I’m much like DK…I’ve been a Chiefs fan since they came here in the ’60’s when I was a kid, watching the games with my Dad and brothers. I celebrated their only SB and cried with them, esp in 93, 95 and 03. I’ve lost my voice at Arrowhead and at home many times, win or lose (where my ‘name’ comes from).
A lot of people dropped out on them during the rough days in the 70’s and 80’s, but my family and I have always worn the red and supported the team, and I don’t expect that to change. I’m thrilled that they’re doing as well as they are this year, as I didn’t expect more than 6 or 7 wins going into the season. I hope they hold onto the new attitude they’ve shown most of this season because that will cement them as a team for the long haul.
I love AP, too, because most on here can agree, disagree or agree to disagree with class and that’s better than most I’ve seen. Thanks for the great post!

Even if the Chiefs lose every game for the rest of the year I will still be a Chiefs fan. Draft day – Chiefs fan. Opening day -Chiefs fan. Game day – Chiefs fan. Following day of a game (Win or lose) – Chiefs fan. Watching Division Rivals lose – Chiefs fan. I am only a Chiefs fan on days that end with Y ! ! !
