What about us?

The 12th man

I notice a lot lately on this site that we talk about The Draft and how a certain player would boost this team, whether its on offense or defense, or even special teams.  Or how maybe through Free Agency we can grab some savvy veterans that have a few years left to mold our new drafted players or younger players we have already on the roster.  There is one thing that I havent seen or read about at least on here that I think helps every player on the team, and thats us.

What I mean by that is this team and all teams in the NFL feed off of the crowds energy.  I mean how would you feel if 70,000 people were on their feet shaking the ground you were playing on cause they were proud to be your fans? EVERY team thrives off of that and it gets them through the game, let alone the 4th quarter when their body is wanting to shut down.  I miss those days.  Like the 2003 playoff game against Indy, I will never forget that game.  That had to be the loudest Arrowhead had ever gotten since i have been alive when Dante Hall returned that kick for the TD.   If you were there you know what im talking about.  That stadium got rocked and not one moment during that game was it close to quiet.

I know this team is not that 13-3 team, but it is still our Chiefs.  And I dont know about you but I am still the same loud, annoying, pain in the ass fan that cheers them on the same way going 2-14, 4-12, or 13-3.  Why should that ever change?  Why should we quiet down because they go 4-12, because you think you have nothing to cheer for? Well let me be the first to tell you, you are dead wrong.  How about you cheer for them just as loud because they go out there with a more than half empty stadium and still play their hearts out for the faithful who watch?  Or maybe just cheer for them because we are one of the 32 lucky cities to even have a franchise to cheer for. Or maybe cheer for them because that is their passion and they need and love the support?...

My whole point is this, in 2010 it could be the last season of football for the next two years.  If I had 70,000 friends and millions of dollars, I would buy everyone a ticket and make 2010 the loudest Arrowhead has been in a while.   I think this year could be the year this franchise gets turned around and headed in the right direction, lets hope and cheer as loud as possible for that... Lets make Arrowhead the loudest most intimidating sea of red again!  I cant do it alone thats for sure! 

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
