I have read some interesting posts and then someone has to end it with “I’ve met mushrooms who know more about football than you” or “are you brain dead?” These comments to not provoke intelligent conversation and then it is a thread calling each other stupid!! Just gets boring to read after a while!!
I have noticed you being the little optimist this year too!! Hows it feel??
:bananen_smilies046:I am just one of those people that is fairly hard headed! When I believe in something I defend my opinions to the end. I had the beliefe that CP was the direct cause of the teams lack of success therefore my negativity was shining through! I believe most of what I had said was true so I didn’t mind continuing to speak my mind.
My reasoning behind me leaning to the optomistic side this year is two fold I guess. One being there isn’t much farther down we can go so……and two being that I saw a team in Az turn around the last couple of years and Haley was one of those reasons. 31 will disagree with me but I watched every Cardinals game last year as I have for the past 15 years strictly because I live here and they are normally on at a different time than the Chiefs. They just acted like a different football team! The way they carried theirselves, the way they played games etc. The players actually liked Haley regardless of what the TV showed with arguments with Boldin and Warner. Happens on every single team!!! There is a reason why Whisenhunt will be calling the plays this year in Az. Haley did a good job and like I said, to me offense is a crucial part of the game. More so than defense IMO. Haley has helped run a prolific offense the last couple of years and has had some success regardless of their opponents. You can only play who the NFL puts in front of you. As I said before, getting rid of CP is another reason for my optimism. Now let me point out that my optimism is guaged only by the fact that I think we will be a better team this year than we were last year! Not going to win the Championship!!!! However, I like what Pioli has done so far and lets face it, he was a key to why the Patriots were so successfull over the last several years. Again, he can only do better than what we had so this is why I am patiently optimistic.

We are putting together a pretty good roster, new management, new coaches and still everyone seems to be fighting with each other. I have read a thread with a fight between Chief31 and DH (not that those two arguing is new ) and another one with prough and jmlamerson. Dbolan thinks I am following him around because he made one comment that I disagreed with and now has a hissy fit every time I post something in the same thread as him. Is this just an internet thing where you can act like an as$ cause you don’t have to look at someone while you insult them? I guess this just continues to back my theory that some people will argue and complain no matter what. I just think that we should all sit back, take a deep breath and re read the forum rules about personal attacks. I am not pointing the finger at anyone in particular ( I have deleted a few of my own posts for the same thing ) but seriously guys, we are all Chiefs fans and we are all acting like as to each other. So why don’t we all just relax, have a cold beer and be friends.
Dbolan I apologize for anything I may have said to offend you. I do not like people bashing my team and when I commented about something you said then it may have gotten blown out of proportion and for that I am sorry. :bananen_smilies046:
I know I feel the same but I think when you get a group of males in particular together talking about football, this type of thing just happens. I think it always will. I agree though. Maybe when we read a post that we don’t agree with we should preface our reply with ” I disagree and this is why” Probably won’t happen but It just seems like with my argument with 31, if I post something that he doesn’t agree with, he basically tell me I’m wrong. I post stats directly from NFL.com, I’m still wrong. I for one get tired of being told that my opinion means nothing and I am wrong about everything I say. Maybe not in so many words but strictly by implication. I don’t think I am any different from anyone else however.
I’m not sure what the answer is and don’t even know if there is an answer. As the old saying goes “winning cures everything” maybe you believe this and maybe you don’t but it sure “helps” things!!! I believe if you have read some of my posts lately, I am in favor of what has been done this offseason thus far and have done almost a complete 180 as far as pesamism goes from last season. My main complaint as most know was CP. We have him no longer so IMO there is only one direction to go. So, I am in aggreeance with you on this one Canada but you as well as anyone knows that boys will be boys and S*** HAPPENS when it comes to talking football!!! Cheers brother!!!:bananen_smilies046:
