How far the expectations have moved for this team...

We all knew Mahomes was going to be a good\great QB. I think most though didn't expect what we are seeing from him this quickly in his career. At the beginning of the season I think most of us would have been thrilled with a winning record and a playoff berth of any kind.

Flash forward 13 games into the season:

We have secured the winning record
We have secured the playoff berth of any kind

Tonight we look to seal the deal on the division, guarantee a bye week in the playoffs and come 1 game closer to locking up HFA.

Win or lose tonight I think the season thus far has been quite the success. Even with a loss we only remove room for error on a division title and HFA.

So while we are all rightfully hyped up for the game tonight I think it important to keep some perspective and realize how far and fast our expectations of this season have moved.

Adversity has been the biggest challenge of late. We aren't catching many breaks on the injury front yet we keep trucking.

I expect every call to go our way from now on. Rigged otherwise.

**** THAT! I had HUGE expectations from the get once we get rid of Alex Smith. The throws Mahomes made in preseason last year left me wanting MORE. Was praying Alex got hurt early in the Tennessee game as I knew we'd only then have a chance at the Superbowl.

For now, I'd settle for the AFC Championship game. If we go to the Superbowl, that's a YOLO moment I'm going to have to indulge in in Atl.

For those of you that scoff at me hoping AS11 got hurt... GFYs!!!
He'll live.

Unfortunately expectations remain stagnant for Pete threads

It would be funny to pull some quotes from the first preseason game thread. We looked awful and I bet most of the season predictions were around 6-10.

I would have been in that camp. I expected more of a rough year for PM just due to a learning curve.....

And we would have been just fine with that.

Probably a few more interceptions than we would like to see (my guess is around 13 INTs).

We are going polar opposite from way too conservative Alex Smith to an ultra aggressive Patrick Mahomes, even in the Denver game there were a couple decisions that were too risky (deep to Harris on the last drive, across his body to Sherman in the start of the 4th). I think we'll fare better team wise than Green Bay did in Rodgers first year though at 6-10. I have the Chiefs being around 9-7, we'll see how the draft goes.

Predicted 9-7, 28 passing TDs with 13 INTs.

I'm a lowlife loser. All hail Saint Patrick.
