@Jett129 I know. I sound like a spoiled rich kid. They are pulling out wins and ultimately that’s whats most important. It’s just most of these wins still feel sickening somehow. If they can keep it going in the playoffs then I’ll be more enthusiastic.

@Mizmazzle I,for one, would be thrilled if The Chiefs were having a shit show such as that instead of the shit show they currently have been embroiled in. Shit shows sometimes make it to and win Super Bowls.

You had it almost exactly last year and wound up in the Super Bowl. I’m with @Mizmazzle though these victories feel hollow and the team doesn’t feel like it really has a shot. Better than mathematically not having a shot but very frustrating to endure.

So I would think that The Chiefs blocking that field goal as time expired last year would have to be a lot more sickening,than any last minute win. They’re a young team with a second year QB,and a No Nonsense coach. Regardless of how this season ultimately shakes out,you have to be optimistic for the future. If the Jets/Giants had their record they’d be throwing parades in NYC.

@Mizmazzle @mclaincausey Broncos have 10 days off and then you get The Chargers at home. That should be pretty telling. As good as a playoff game. Hope it’s one of the National games,so I can see it. Any chance either of you will go to it?

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 don’t think I’ll be able make this game. It’s gonna be huge though. Like you said…playoff caliber. The last few games have been. We’ve got to play with passion week 18.

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle As a fan of the game,even if my team is out,these are the kind of games I want to see. They’re often way better than the Superbowl. I think the playoffs are going to be a lot of fun.

@Jett129 This year is wide open, seems like anyone can get hot and win it all.

[Mizmazzle]

@Denimhead-0 I definitely agree with this. Even the juggernaut teams of the past few years have become mortal and lots of other teams have risen statistically. That factor alone has made this last leg of the season incredibly fun to watch.

I think I’m going to find a new team. Chiefs moving to kansas is problematic for me and something I can’t reasonably explain to a sane person.

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT yeah…what’s the reason for this? Cheaper to build a new stadium on the Kansas side?

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle I think kansas was just simply willing to give them the money needed for a new domed stadium.

[ZackB]

@SKT let me know what team you go with, think I need a new one too.

I have a cheese head in my house to watch the game with me. But she brought me a Piggly Wiggly hat so I can't complain.

[SKT]

@ZackB my problem is every NFL team in Missouri ends up leaving. I grew up a St Louis Cardinals (football) fan so the pain started early

[ZackB]

@SKT completely understand, we never had a pro team so I’ve always been all over the place.

[scooter]

@Oaktavia , c'mon, where's your sense of adventure?
