This has nothing to do with preseason predictions. We were both wrong. You just continue to be glass-half-empty where I’m able to acknowledge that this team has dramatically exceeded expectations and I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
You and I are not as far off as you are making it out to be. I was right there with you regarding Clark this season. I'm thrilled where KC is in the standings. However, where we are different is I think the both Offensive Tackles SUCK. I think the D-Line, except for Jones, can't get to the QB, and Karlaftis has been a disappointment in that regard. I think both those issues will be our undoing when we face an elite QB in the playoffs. This team will not win a Super Bowl if both of those issues do not improve. [Reply]

How in the flying **** has Karlaftis been a disappointment? [Reply]

He doesn't have 10 sacks. he didn't become prime Derrick Thomas or Jared Allen in the first three months of his career. We play Madden, and there's just no way our bust of a rookie DE shouldn't have at least 35 sacks by now. We do it all the time on madden, so it must be possible for this POS George Karlaftis bust-Greek dude as well. He's obviously lazy and no good. We are preparing to burn him in effigy virtually as soon as we can figure out how to tie him to a virtual tree. Please join us in our mutual hatred of the Greek guy. Meeting is at 11. [Reply]
Imagine going into the season with very low expectations (at least in comparison to the new standard) and somehow being disappointed at this point of the season?
They'll bitch about Veach while ignoring the fact that he actually exceeded their expectations.
Then when you point this out to them, they'll say "well duh they have Mahomes!".
Like they didn't already know we had Mahomes and what he was capable of when they were setting their expectations.
It's all absurd.
At what point did I say I was disappointed with this season?

I was wrong. Entirely. This team deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point. And even if they fail this year with the blueprint, lacking confidence in them in the future is absolutely ludicrous. They’ve eminently proven the ability to persevere.
I agree, doesn't mean that football discussions should be stopped or that issues don't exist with the team.
I don't get why step into a Skyy Moore thread and instead of talking about Skyy Moore himself, you go "WELL THE TEAM OVERALL IS DOING GREAT! YOU DOUBT WHAT MAHOMES CAN DO?!? WE'RE 9-3, WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SKYY MOORE IN A SKYY MOORE THREAD?!?!"
When people including me and Tex and Detoxing, and DJ were excited about adding Toney or talk about how Mahomes should win MVP or when I said DPOY could come down to Chris Jones vs Parsons, or talk about Sneed and Bolton and other good players on the team...you guys are crickets. But soon as a player is criticized, you guys want to scream about glass being half empty. How about people just want to discuss the chiefs on a chiefs forum and not every discussion is going to be sunshine and roses? [Reply]

I'll wait.
"Veach didn't do ANYWHERE near enough" (in reference to the DL)
How is that not clear and obvious disappointment?
But yes, I'm aware that you want to talk out of both sides of your mouth and pretend that being one of the best teams in the league isn't "ANYWHERE near enough".
And like I said, you'll just say "yea bc Mahomes" like you didn't know we had Mahomes when you bitched/whined all off-season and set your expectations while crying non-stop about the Tyreek Hill trade (among other things).
Bottom line: The Chiefs and Veach far exceeded your expectations, and you STILL bitch, because you're a fucking pussy. [Reply]
And you'll say things like "ANYWHERE near enough" without providing what exactly that means and what he should've done.
Should he have signed Von Miller to a huge contract?
Chandler Jones?
Should he have traded for Robert Quinn who is currently on IR?
The only free agent edge rusher that would've been a great signing in hindsight is Za'Darius Smith and he was over 30 coming off back surgery.
There was no quick fix that didn't come with a HUGE risk. If anything, he should've double down at EDGE in the draft, but that certainly wouldn't have been "ANYWHERE near enough" either.
It's not my fault that you said some really stupid shit, and instead of walking it back, decided to double down while simultaneously saying that you aren't disappointed and they're still SB contenders. [Reply]

The Chiefs had nowhere near enough cap space to sign Smith.

Yes I said he didn't do nowhere enough on the DL.
He could have addressed it a lot harder like we all thought he would. That doesn't mean we can't win the superbowl, but that he should have been more aggressive at improving the DL.
You have to stop making up arguments in your head and letting that fake argument get you in a tizzy. [Reply]

This is where you sound like a fucking reerun.
What qualifies as "ANYWHERE near enough"?
The obvious implication is that it's not anywhere enough to achieve the ultimate goal. If you say it isn't ANYWHERE near enough, but it's somehow enough to still win a SB, you aren't making any fucking sense dude :-)
Again, it's not my fault that you refuse to walk that hyperbole back a little. [Reply]

Doing more than a late first rnd pick and an August training camp and inexplicably bringing Frank Clark probably. [Reply]

So what specifically should he have done? It's so easy to say shit like that, but when you don't provide specific examples of what would have been "ANYWHERE near enough", you're clearly just talking out of your ass and bitching just to bitch.
When they traded Tyreek, they made an obvious choice to play the long game. Signing somebody like Von Miller or trading multiple high draft picks would have contradicted that entirely. Not to mention it could've completely blown up in their face with a devastating injury to a guy already on the downside of their career.
You were clearly unhappy about the Chiefs playing the long game this offseason, and they did that while STILL being a legit SB contender and one of the best teams in the league.
We're literally playing with house money this year, and it still isn't "ANYWHERE near enough". [Reply]
