Helluva writeup George. You deftly captured the sudden joy of the moment yesterday along with all the past decades of dread and disappointment for all longtime Chief's fans including me. To tell the truth, I'd already prepared myself for another loss but as the game began to wind down in the 4th quarter my inner being began to repeat that 'this is different from all the other failures' and, of course, it was.
Don't minimize what Chris Jones was able to do in frustrating Luck, getting into his head by pushing the middle and batting away a couple of passes. Those were huge as well. One more win and I want it to be the Patties that will have a mudhole stomped in their ass, and I'll be driving about 90 minutes south from where I live to North Springs MARTA, catch a train to Benz stadium then see the boys live, in person, go for the Lombardi.
But I want to savor this win a few more days. It's been a long time coming. Thanks again for expressing it as well as you did.
