To answer your question, yes - if you can't back up your regular season "success" with at least a playoff win - when the goal is a Championship - the season was a failure in my eyes. What's the difference between going 4-12 and going 11-5 and losing in the WC Round? Nothing but draft position. When/if they ever prove they can take that "next step", it's very possible that my opinion changes on this subject. |

Then I realized that there are better things to do with my Sundays. I still watch most games, but I multitask and often flip between games on Sunday Ticket. If anything, I would say I'm more interested in the NFL as a whole, and less interested in KC. My love of the game itself will never disappear. |

And if you think about it, my love for the team really hasn't gone anywhere.
I just don't attend/watch regular season games as intently. But I've attended the last four playoff games in person. I still want to be there when they throw the monkey off their back. |

You keep saying "backup QB", but they clearly don't think he should have been a backup for the 49ers (neither do I, and neither does Andy Reid). You like to call him "backup QB" because it implies he sucks, but his play has proven otherwise. Must suck to be you.

I've been a fan since 1969, and I am not inherently negative about things they do. I don't understand how you can stand to live like that. All the negativity must make you miserable.

Furthermore, I don't think I've "suffered" at all and I certainly don't think the Hunt family is evil, nor do I think they don't want to win. It just hasn't happened. I liken it to the crown jewel achievement on your favorite Xbox or PS3 game. At first, you figure you've done everything else, there's only one thing left, that one last achievement. The first 100 or so levels seem to fly by. It's fun. You psyched because you know pretty soon that you'll have that achievement. About 150 levels in, you realize things have really started to slow down. You start spending some of your free time playing other games because in long spurts, the game is actually kind of boring. At about level 175 it hits you - if you want to get that achievement, you're going to have to play the game for at least 3 hours a day, every day, for next three years. It dawns on you that the game just isn't that fun. Waiting for that achievement just isn't worth it. That doesn't mean I won't ever startup the game and play a few levels here or there. I just have a completely different perspective and thus a completely different reason for playing. |

I said "backup QB" because I was talking about 49ers fans mindset at the time of the trade. At the time of the trade, Alex Smith was the BACKUP QB. That's not a dig, that's a FACT. I think Alex Smith is just fine as the QB of the Chiefs and I think he's a top half of the league starter. You don't have any idea what I'm about so don't pretend you do. |

Any one who says "if my team ever trades [insert any name here] I will stop being a fan" needs to find another interest. Football isn't for you. |

You mean my shit like: "I think Alex Smith is just fine as the QB of the Chiefs and I think he's a top half of the league starter." Yeah, it's ALL shit. You're so much better than me. I only wish I could be as big of a ****ing douchebag as you... |

I have never followed you around, nor have I ever in my life necroed a thread. You must be thinking of someone else.
