Thanks! Yeah, I found it and am listening to it now. |
Guys, who else feels like they could run through a wall right now?
I spent about 2 hours moving snow this morning in -12 wind chills. Tomorrow is NOT going to be bitter cold. It's going to be LOUD! Last week I was nervous. This week, I wanna put my forehead through the drywall in the hallway. ROFL |

I can sum it up fairly simply: In the past, it was "no way" could the Chiefs win a AFCCG, go to a Bowl, and win it all. Now, it's "why not"? This team is as good as any team in this league, and can go toe to toe, score for score with either high-caliber offenses, top-ranking defenses, or both. And even if we weren't to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl THIS year, you KNOW we'd be back, and get there sooner rather than later. I expected a wild card birth and a fight to win it before this season started. Anything beyond that is pure icing on a brilliantly-made cake. |

I've always wanted a QB we could call "ours". Now we have THE QB, and he's ours. How freaking glorious is that? |

I believe his inexperience in the beginning had a lot to do with how people perceive him to this day. And I believe that if the Chiefs were the ONLY sports interest he had in life, some of that floundering in the beginning could have been avoided. Three coaches and three GM's later, it seems that he has finally begun to get a better grip on the league than he had coming in. I also believe( to his credit )that he has chosen to blaze a somewhat different path than his father in regards to the philosophy of the team, and to what will be given priority under his tenure. The only thing that bothers me, again, is that unlike most owners in this league, the Chiefs aren't the only pro sports endeavor in his life. And then, you've got owners in whom their NFL team is ALL THEY DO. But sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn't so who knows? Also, I really don't like the idea of him being involved in personnel contract disputes or personnel in general. That's what guys who have spent their whole adult lives evaluating talent and negotiating contracts are hired for, right? Being a GM is a tricky business and it takes a LONG time working and studying under masters of the craft before one is ready to truly sit in that chair. And once you get there, and someone hires you, that employer needs to trust that you and the head coach have a vision, and are working towards attaining it, bumps in the road and all. What I DO know is that he seems to be improving in his role as owner and representative as time goes on, and that's really all you can ask for. Quote:

A good portion of NFL owners have SEVERAL other business ventures, including other minor and major league sports teams.
We only know the stuff about Clark because he's our owner. Trust me, he's just one of many. Heck, the late Paul Allen owned the Seahawks and the Trailblazers. The Glazer family owns the Buccaneers and Manchester United. Stan Kroenke owns the Rams, the Nuggets, the Avalanche, AND Arsenal. |

This is gonna be over early folks. I really expect to suck the soul out of these child-kissing scumbags in the first quarter. Let Brady try to make a valiant comeback with that ****ing noodle arm of his.

I think it's different in this context: And by no means am I saying this is the only correct answer. You walk into the Chiefs franchise and see the incredible success they had as AFL team. You meet Lenny, you meet Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, Fred Arbanas, Curly Culp, Emmitt Thomas. That a wing of HOF'ers. Those guys gave legitimacy to the entire AFL. And from the AFL days, the Pats weren't much of a winning franchise. The Pats grew their winning history from 85 to the present. The Chiefs? They sowed nothing but disappointment after 1971. Regular season? Sure, great records. And playoff futility. The players know how much the last game meant for the fans and the city. That doesn't mean it was their sole motivator. But these players acknowledge the players from the glory years, and the fans who have waited for (in the words of William Wallace) "One chance, JUST one chance" to bring this franchise to glory again. |

This is not a bad matchup for the Chiefs it's a bad matchup for the Pats, especially since it's in Arrowhead. Remember this though, 2015 was the Pat's last loss in afccg in the road against what many consider a top 10 all time defense in Denver and Pats put up basically 20 points (18 in reality as both extra points were missed). That was also a very loud environment so I use that as the Pat's threshold. If they scored 20 that day vs that D then they could and should get 30 tomorrow. Chiefs need to score in the 30s to win IMO.....I know that sounds easy the way they played this year, but it won't be!....... |
Chiefs 34
Has Been’s 27 |
I think it'll be something like 34-28 Chiefs
