Then you experience glory for two years and Horseface rides off into the sunset. Back you went to mediocrity until a short window of success with HGH guy.
9 playoff appearances in the last 25 years. Average score in your playoff losses in that span: 37-15, including a 43-8 gut punch in Super Bowl 48. And now 8 years without a postseason appearance and 7 straight losing seasons.
Seems to me there have been a lot of moments of angst throughout your history.
I think the key takeaway from our histories is this: KC started out great and has returned to greatness. Denver, the opposite. Order restored!
Small wonder that one-time Donkeys HC Lou Saban (1967-1971) would scream at them "MY DAUGHTER COULD DO BETTER".
Saban also called them "WORMS" and the Donks from 2016 to the present have had to view what KC has done from a worm's eye-view.
I remember telling this one Donktard named Marvin H over at Arrowhead Addict that once Manning hung up the cleats, the Donkeys were going to the abyss & here we are.
