The reason this board is so negative no matter how the team is doing is that we have a cadre of 5 or 10 people whose mission in life seems to be trying to convince everyone of how smart they are. For whatever reason the medium they have chosen is screaming about how everything that doesn't go perfectly for the Chiefs portends the fact that they are a fraud, which is really tragic because the team could have been legitimate Super Bowl contenders if only they were the GM.
I think most of us realize the team has holes and going from 2-14 to Super Bowl is probably a touch optimistic, but are enjoying the ride. There are others who are unable to enjoy the team unless it validates them somehow.
The tenor of the board is so negative, and perversely it trends even MORE negative when the team is good, because if you want to make sure everyone knows you are "right" as a doomsayer you have to yell a lot louder to be heard over the cheers I guess.
They'll have their day, since this team is probably not going to win the Super Bowl. I'm sure they'll have a lovely celebration at being "proved right".
