I was prepared to post like an old Patriots fan would...entitled, mad at the lack of style points, frustrated over setbacks, etc...and then I read the last page of this thread and repented of the sin of ingratitude.
1. I got to watch the Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years. In person. I'll ALWAYS have that moment.
2. We've won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years and been to 4 in the same time span.
3. We have Patrick Lavon Mahomes and get to watch him every week.
4. Every other NFL fan is jealous of what we have. We're constantly on prime time TV.
5. We've won 9 straight AFC West Championships. 9.
6. We have the best triumvirate in football with a great Owner, GM, and Head Coach.
7. Best fans/atmosphere in the NFL.
8. We live rent-free in so many people's heads. There are more conspiracies about the Chiefs than there are JFK Assassination ideas.
9. We're 13-1, clinched the division and at least a home game and have control of our destiny for a bye and forcing everyone to go through us at Arrowhead.
10. We have a great forum to discuss all things Chiefs and life.
It's a game. And our team is incredibly good at it. This is the greatest time ever to be a Chiefs fan. [Reply]
13-1 is a great season by any measure so you really don't have any choice but to say you're happy overall.
My quibbles are that, although the team is good, they have not been very fun to watch this year. Football is entertainment and while I am happy my team wins, they haven't done so in a very entertaining fashion.
My biggest concern long term is that our superstar QB has been playing like a JAG for the better part of two years now. It's getting to where it's been a long enough time for it to start feeling a little uncomfortable and it's becoming fair to wonder when or if we're going to see old Mahomes again for a lengthy period of time. [Reply]
I don't get it. How could 14 games, almost all of them won or lost in the last few minutes, be "boring"?
Blowouts are boring. The Chiefs this season have been nonstop tension and drama. That's not boring at all and it's the reason the Chiefs' games dominate the ratings. [Reply]

He didn’t play bad last year. His WR’s just dropped everything he threw. [Reply]

I'd describe it as "frustrating" rather than "boring". Games are exciting, sure, but they're sure not much fun to watch outside of the final five minutes. [Reply]

I can totally understand that. I was asking specifically about the word "boring".
If you wanna say the games are harrowing, frustrating, or anxiety-inducing, I get it. I just don't get "boring". [Reply]

I'd say most of the games were anything but boring this season. [Reply]

Oh its not been boring it's been the most excruciating 13-1 streak in the history of the NFL.
If someone had told me before week one we would start 13-1 I would have been ecstatic about it.
Instead I'm worn out, I am glad, I'm grateful, but I am worn out. [Reply]
