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

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.

That's EXACTLY how I feel right now.

Here is how it's going to go down...

The Chiefs are going to beat the Patriots and then WIN the Super Bowl.

On stage, during the VICTORY Ceremony, Patrick is going to ask his girlfriend to marry him on national TV. She is going to say yes. Then the whole country will fall in love with our good, wholesome and polite Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes II.

Also, Pat Senior will be crying. As will Patricks mom. Clark and Andy will give each other a big hug. Clark is gonna be happier than a pig in shit. Then Patrick will get the MVP and all will be right with the world.

KC will throw a big VICTORY parade and everybody will behave. Clay will makes some kick arse video, and we will all be grateful and happy here on Chiefs Planet awaiting the draft and next season.

It's gonna be good.

Yep. Free from the curse of the coach that shall not be named. 1 game erased 31 years of chiefs and opened up a new outlook on the future. Just need two more games then my fandom is complete.

I was a basketcase. I'd say the ratio between dreading acceptance of impending doom, grim determination that things would finally change, and actual happiness was about 80/19/1. Hell, I left work early on Friday because I was freaking out. And there was a thread about it, too - I certainly wasn't the only one. People must have thought I was an idiot for carrying on like that.

And now, it's just..... gone. How liberating.

Yep. My wife thought I was ****ing nuts, and she knows how passionately I follow the Chiefs...she tried to tell me it was a just a game...that conversation did not go well.

My wife is a die hard Braves fan, and they haven't won shit forever either, so she understands my pain.

And is smart enough to leave me the **** alone when I get like that.

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.

[Eleazar]

I agree with that. I think the game is about 50/50, wouldn't be surprised at anything that happens or that upset if we lose. I'll probably feel like the 2014 World Series again. Disappointed in a way, but mostly just excited for next year.

Well, I'll be upset at all the money I spent on it, but hey. There's no shame in losing to Brady and Belichick in the playoffs; everyone has.

The Pats are the past, and maybe still the present, but we are the future. This team is on the way up and it's not like our window is closing.

[Chiefshrink]

Don't let your anxiety get the best of you now thus making pre-reasons in order to ease your emotional pain IF we lose. Embrace the victory NOW mentally and emotionally because that is how Champions become CHAMPIONS !!

CHAMPIONS embrace and apply these 2 HUGE concepts mentioned in these 2 little verses from scripture whether they realize it or not.

Proverbs 29:18 - "Where there is no vision the people perish".

Proverbs 23:7 - "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he".

See the victory won by truly believing in your heart NOW !!!

This victory will happen 'htismaqe' just embrace it NOW !!

1. I'm not a champion. I don't play for the Chiefs. NOTHING I do (short of screaming my freaking lungs out at the game on Sunday) will affect the outcome of the game.

2. I have ZERO anxiety. None. Zilch. I'm not concerned AT ALL.

3. For the 4th or 5th time today, they're going to win on Sunday.
