They absolutely are, and it's infuriating. What this team has done not just the past 7 years, but really ever since Andy arrived, is nothing short of spectacular. I am fully convinced you will never see this type of dynasty again in the NFL. It's just not meant to happen, because the league does everything they can to prevent it. That's why everyone hates us.
They need to win it this year. If they don't, they will never get the recognition they deserve. I don't even care as a fan, I just want them to be viewed in the light they should be instead of people downplaying how amazing this has been. The amount of work that has gone into this thing probably can't even be quantified. These men deserve to go down as some of the greatest legends of all time, and I believe in a few weeks, they will cement that achievement and nobody will be able to say otherwise ever agian. [Reply]

This is actually accurate, which is insane. Same can be said for the Ravens and Bills, too. Jackson and Allen are talked about like they have 3 Super Bowls each. I can't even imagine the amount of ball gargling that would be going on if they actually did. [Reply]

The NFL is a caste system, it doesn't matter how much the Chiefs win, they will always be dismissed because the league doesn't think they belong. Sucks. [Reply]

The social media thing can't be understated. A good 80% of my feed right at this instant is AI-generated fake news. They come up with a story like Andy Reid is suing Tom Brady for comments he made during the Denver game (even though he works NFC games for Fox and was calling the Tampa game) and then they copy and paste that story to fake Bengals groups and fake Chiefs groups to get people riled up.
From the look of the comments, the average football fan doesn't even know the basics (like Brady not even being at the game) and eating this fake shit right up. [Reply]

It doesn't matter if it's fake, they want it to be true. [Reply]

Right. And that desire combined with extreme stupidity (like lack of basic logic skills) and a complete lack of football knowledge breeds this whole mess. [Reply]
You may not have seen this in the Bengals mega thread but I actually had a Bengals fan call me out and tell me that the Chiefs would be the worst 15-2 team to ever 3-peat. Think about that for a minute. They're THAT stupid. [Reply]

We have more access to information than ever before yet as a species we are growing more stupid. [Reply]
