Are you less excited about football than you used to be?

[Silock]

I am. I think it's the constant mediocre to shit teams we always field. I felt the same way about baseball until the Royals actually got good. Now, every game is exciting.

This constant losing and underachieving takes a ****ing toll, man. UGH.

GET ME HYPED UP, because it's ****ing difficult to do looking at this roster that just doesn't seem like it's going to do any better than last year, if that.

[big nasty kcnut]

Ok how about this this team will be exciting to watch. If you miss it you will be the sad guy on monday when your co worker are talking about the game and mocking the broncos fans .

[Discuss Thrower]

The chiefs haven't fielded a championship caliber team at any point in my entire life.

They ignore the most important position in a passing league by repeating the same exact move that has yielded two playoff wins in three ****ing decades: trade valuable draft picks for a backup quarterback, and then this is topped off with doubling down on a retread coach with glaring flaws that never get corrected.

Montana, Bono, Grbac, Green and Cassel. Marty, Vermeil, Herm.

It's just stupidity to assume "Oh this time it's different!" with the current QB and HC who have both predictably performed no differently than they had in their previous two franchises.

This. I just accept the fact that every year the season will end badly. Thank you Royals for making life livable again.

Agree on most all points; it's the summation of changes over the past 10, 12, 15 years that have weakened the game... More passing! More offense! 24/7/365 coverage have over saturated the product. Additionally the changes to tackling and what is now PI have turned the league into a backyard flag football game. Coaching carousels, players becoming more important than teams, and jacked ticket prices have led me further away these past few years.

That, and we never seem to fire on all cylinders in all three phases. This year will be no exception; how much more can we expect from Jamaal before he hits the wall? Nobody really believes that Alex can spit in his hands with two minutes left and say, "I got this."

[RunKC]

I will be if I keep hearing announcers from every game and radio talk hosts continue to talk about the Patriots deflating footballs when it happened 8 months ago.

It was ridiculous. I want to hear about HALL OF FAMERS but on and on in that game it was Patriots this, Patriots that.

Thanks, CP!

I call this "Coming to your senses".

[ThaVirus]

My Chiefs interest is certainly waning; that's a coping mechanism, I think. I've been hurt too many times by this asshole organization.

Luckily I'm just as much a fan of NFL as I am the Chiefs. I literally spend all day long on Sundays watching football and I enjoy the hell out of it.

[cmh6476]

yes.

[O.city]

Similar to virus, I like football on sundays.

In terms of the chiefs, caution optimism I guess you could say

[Strongside]

The Royals have taken a bit of my fire, for sure...but I still can't wait to be in my seats screaming my head off. Hopefully the organization is taking note of what's going on across the parking lot...it's called winning, and it's a hell of a lot more fun than mediocrity.

For me it's parity gone too far, and on top of that, they've created a quarterback league without nearly enough quarterbacks. Last time I watched several games at a bar was when the Chiefs beat the Rams, which was a pretty sloppy game... and the Seahawks/Panthers (IIRC) was 9-3 late in the 4th, the Patriots were stomping someone (Bills, maybe), and there was another terrible game on. On any given week, it's just a bunch of garbage with maybe one "must see" type of game, and a lot of times I'll only see bits of it on RedZone.

And of course the Chiefs... haven't been to a game since the home opener against Buffalo in 2011.

Heh, a long time ago I used to think "what if I miss something!" ...well, even if I do miss something that's not somehow caught in highlights/gifs/youtube, most people around here don't talk about the Chiefs.

It's taken a back seat to CFB, NHL, college hockey, and college basketball, except for a couple weeks in January.

exactly how I feel.
