Week 6 Optimism Check
Alas, our favored football team (the Chiefs) has finally experienced its first bitter sip of reality in this, the 2017 NFL season. And it was quite bitter indeed, as nearly every team member, from coach to player, performed dreadfully more often than not. Perhaps a more well-fought loss wouldn't have provoked such misery as many of us felt today, but as it happened, we have fair cause for introspection and reassessment.
Thus, I ask you: are you still optimistic about the Chiefs' chances this season? As I see it, these are our reasons for optimism:
And these are our reasons for pessimism:
So, where do you stand? Also, feel free to add more to either list. Thanks. |

The defense will be our undoing. The pass rush is non-existent during most stretches.
Mark my words. MARK THEM WELL!!!!! |

Somehow we are ranked 13th in points allowed but 27th in rush defense and 24th in pass defense. Bend but don’t break!!

Still a contender. I'll check my optimism after the Raiders.

It's 1 game. Oline was awful, Smith was bad, so was the defense. Pittsburgh still needed a lucky deflection to win. Still the best team in the AFC. Onto Oakland.

Man, that was one of the most devastating bad breaks I can remember. And yet... we were still in it at the very end, which is pretty wild. Sigh.

I want to believe, but I just can't. I know the Chiefs too well. Even if we make the playoffs, another heartbreaking loss is in the cards.
Same old Chiefs. |

However, this team is definitely still good enough to win the division, get a bye, maybe even HFA. And so it comes down to getting the right breaks at the right time. That can happen to any team, even one as seemingly cursed as the Chiefs. I mean, could anyone have imagined the Royals getting all the breaks they needed en route to a World Series championship? Therefore... as much as I want to NOT believe.... I gotta believe. I gotta believe it's possible. I gotta believe that the ball will bounce our way....... if only just this once. |
