The big epiphany for me regarding this weekend's game.

Yes, I love that they finally won a home playoff game.

Yes, I love that they finally beat the Colts.

Yes, I love that they are in the AFC Championship game for the first time since before I was married or had kids.

Yes, I will weep like a baby if they even make it to the Super Bowl, let alone win it.

But no - I won't be devastated if they lose on Sunday. I'll be disappointed, sure. But I won't be crushed.

Why? Because they got beat by Tom Brady. Tom Brady, as we hear so often, is 41 years old.

Patrick Mahomes is TWENTY THREE.

In the past, "there's always next year" was a phrase held in derision by Chiefs fans.

That's no longer the case. Because Mahomes. There actually IS next year. In fact, Tom Brady is FORTY ONE. There's going to be "next year", as a Chiefs fan, for the next DECADE AND A HALF!

So here's to a win on Sunday, which the Chiefs and their fans richly deserve, and I honestly think they will get. However, if they don't?

There's always next year.

Luck isn't just "better than average." In a good year he's a top 5 QB.
I agree with this 100% Luck is a great quarterback and it's had to say where we would now if we had been able to draft him, but I would not rule out a Superbowl run or two. With that said, I am so glad things worked out the way they have. It looks like a very fun ride for a long time to come.

But then I'll go back and watch all of the Mahomes highlights from the game and realize that he's too good NOT to get there one of these years.

It'll be OK.

Why?

Because this isn't a fluke. For one, I never expected them to be here in the first place. Second, just making the AFC Championship game seems like a dream that would NEVER be fulfilled. But the icing on the cake is that we finally have Patrick Mahomes and he's not just any 1st round QB, he's THE 1st round QB. He's the new NFL, the prototype.

So yeah, I expect a victory on Sunday. That's my brain. My heart will be disappointed if they lose. But it's not "the end" like it has been so many times before. It won't be for me, anyway.

That said, I expected this team to be 7-9 to 9-7 due to a shit defense, a brutal schedule and growing pains by PM2 so this whole process as been pretty amazing.

Then, in an instant, the monkey was gone. The curse was lifted. Last week I was a nervous wreck. Now, I'm fine. The only thing I'm worried about is driving in shitty weather on Saturday.

It's like I've been freed from prison.

I've been there in person when most of our collapses have occurred. I was a mess watching the game. When we fumbled, got a blocked punt etc, I thought shit, here we go. I couldn't eat or really enjoy the game even though we were up 3 scores until late in the game. My paranoia amused many.

Now, that feeling of doom is completely gone. Like Frazod and others have posted, the game cleansed me. I have no feelings of doom. They are just gone. I can just enjoy the next playoff game. I think we will win but if we don't, I wont be devastated like those other losses. Just regular fan disappointment. It feels good to be in that place.

I'll be much more upset if we lose this game than if we lose the SB.

I'm all in for this game. Getting nervous to just watch it. LOL

Yup. We have a lot of contracts in flux. We may never be this healthy this late. Who knows when the next afc championship HOME game will be. Im optimistic about the future. But I'm not even thinking about next year. In our history, we've never been so well built to take it right now.

Ive been thinking about how the narrative the last game was about how we clowned them and if we had hoodie and Brady figured out. This year it's us with the chip on our shoulder because of our earlier season loss.

Reid is out for blood. Mahomes is out for blood. God I hope our defense is too.

I really think that replacing Parker and Scandrick with Lucus and Ward has really changed the dynamic of this defense.

The improved coverage and tackling on the back end allows for more attacking on the front end.

I'll be surprised is they give up 20 points.

This is why I wouldn’t put Berry in that starting role. I think he should play Murray’s role.

They won’t do it, but I don’t want to mess with what’s working for somebody that hasn’t finished a game yet.

I'd be just fine with Berry in a very limited role.

And now, it's just..... gone. How liberating.
Its so funny. I had some nerves on the Sunday prior to the game. But I was calm from Monday to Saturday just waiting for the game.

I was clam because we now have one of those QB thingies that we pined for. And I knew this year was different. I felt the Chiefs would win a close game against the Colts.

Now, I know we will destroy the Pats. They are now the team that is simply "in the way" of the Chiefs taking what is theirs.

Just for lack of game shape alone. No way is he a 100% cardio game shape let alone hitting shape. Limited sure. Maybe just red zone possessions.

I think a rotational player is smart. He takes Murray's reps, maybe more in particular spots.
