Most of the forums I have been a part of don’t remove threads. They may archive them but you can still access them. This is Coach’s baby so I am sure he probably has a plan in place if things get too heavy or dated.

Great argument if you like putting works in peoples mouths. All I said is that realism and pessimism are getting confused on this site. Let me put it to you this way

If Chief31 is a pessimist and he calls himself a realist, what does that make the optomist?

If pessimist = realist
then
optomist = ???

It sure sounds like he says I (or anyone else with positive things to say) don’t konw what we are talking about and that we are not realistic.

Your kid does track, u hope he does well, but do u criticize his every move? Do u tell him he can win a race even if u know he can’t? Do you not blindly cheer for him no matter what?

You want to get your nose all bent out of shape then go ahead. I have not said a damn thing about anyones fandom, all I have said is learn the difference between a pessimist and a realist. Too many people think they are right all the time and anyones opinion that differs is not thinking realisticly.

I really don’t understand why this is so hard to grasp.

Umm, I was talking to tornado. Not you.

EDIT

Sorry Chiefster, it was on the previous page and I overlooked that you closed the thread. My bad.

I watch every game also. From the starting kick to the very end, I am the type that believe we will win every game we play! I do not question, your fandom, but I do wonder if you have a Passion for the chiefs. Do you love the Chiefs? Chief31 does it well as a stat guy, but most of the time he comes across as a jerk or a know it all, and not a homer for sure, You say you are tired of this after last year, I say this is a new season, we are going to win this year! You say “I also don’t expect too much from them this year” I say I expect the best out of the team this year. I think I will stay a homer.

I expect the best out of the Chiefs every single year. That can be anywhere from 0-16 wins. If their best this year gets them to the playoffs, I’ll be thrilled. If their best is less than that, I won’t be upset about it.

why do I have to rephrase this? I’m sorry if I am not good enough for you but I wouldn’t devote every single Sunday of the NFL season to the Chiefs if I didn’t love my team. It’s like my kids. I want them to do well. I’ll do my best to help them achieve whatever they want. I will be proud of them no matter what happens. My son is in track this year. I want him to do well. I hope he wins some races. If he doesn’t, I’ll be just as proud. Does that make me less of a father too?

[Guru]

I’m not doing this again after last year.

I watch every game, beginning to end. I root for the Chiefs 100%. I think we will be better this year. I also don’t expect too much from them this year. If they blow me away, I will be happy. If they do exactly what I expect, I won’t be upset about it. That is as far as I am going with it.

I am not disagreeing with anyones predictions on the season. People can predict what they want, but I don’t think that I am setting myself up for disappointment by thinking we can win every game. When I get up on sunday morning, I believe the Chiefs can beat whatever team we are playing that day. Do I think they will go undefeated? No. Do I think they can beat every team on the schedule? Yes!! I am just getting tired of the whole I am a realist and I am always right attitude. I am not say you or anyone else in particular but that sentiment is all over the boards here. Try and tell jmlamerson or Chief31 that we will get 11 wins this season and you will see.

These are the types of things I am referring to. Why is thinking on the down side of things realistic? Why is optimism not the reality?

HOw the HELL am I thinking on the downside. I said we would be better than last year. How much better? I have no friggin clue. Christ I am sick of this crap.

Good night.

I have no faith. I prefer logic. And I don’t care where you rank me on the “fan-o-meter” either.

He didn’t say that he expects nothing. It looked like 7-9 to me.

Another authority on the measures of fandom. And it seems that if you don’t agree with this authority, then there is no possible way that you have male genitalia.

And you guys are the same bunch who will be complaining about how someone provoked you, when they finally lash back at you for comments like these.

I’ve said it many different ways, and it is always right on. Like it, or not.

Just because I don’t predict the Chiefs to make the playoffs does not make me any less of a fan than any one of you.

In fact, over the past two years, it makes me CORRECT. (And not very happy about it.)

Now I don’t mean this to be insulting to those who do predict The Chiefs to make the playoffs, or even win every game.

TS does so and is almost always respectful of opposing opinions. (Maybe always. I can’t remember anything specific.)

No matter how well a team has ever done, they always could have been better at something. If you choose to think that The Chiefs will win despite their problems, then AWESOME!

I am never going to insult your genetalia for it, nor tell you that you are not a good enough fan.

And if I do, then I fully expect you to go off on me for it, as I will deserve it.

Just as some of you deserve it with your insulting comments.

Now, for my current predictions…

Week 1 at Ravens – Loss
Week 2 vs. Raiders – Win
Week 3 at Eagles – Loss
Week 4 vs. Giants – Loss
Week 5 vs. Cowboys – Win
Week 6 at Redskins – Loss
Week 7 vs. Chargers – Win
Week 8 BYE
Week 9 at Jaguars – Loss
Week 10 at Raiders – Loss
Week 11 vs. Steelers – Loss
Week 12 at Chargers – Loss
Week 13 vs. Broncos – Win
Week 14 vs. Bills – Win
Week 15 vs. Browns – Win
Week 16 at Bengals – Win
Week 17 at Broncos – Loss

I feel pretty worried about a couple of these picks. But I also could easily see a couple more going our way.

If the rest of the offseason impresses me, then I may find it within me to push for another ‘W’ or two.

Specifically, going to Philly that early could be a good thing. All early games have a tendancy to be less predictable anyway.

I always look forward to your posts in these matters. Nice to know that being realistic is not a character flaw.

[Guru]

I think we will have a better record than last year.

Wow.

Now you are gonna suggest that I go root for some other team?

And you wonder where all the hostility is coming from?

I root for The Chiefs because I love The Chiefs. And when I complain about The Chiefs, it’s because I think that they are failing.

I am not happy about the team I love failing.

Thus, I express discontent.

Implying that ones discontent makes them less of a fan, suggests that you are a better fan.

Hinting that one should go root for some other team is insulting.

Let me ask you this, King Of All Chiefs Fans…

How incredible a Chiefs fan are you, that you attempt to drive fans from the team?

How superior is a fan that insults Chiefs fans for being Chiefs fans?

The fact that you are willing to close your eyes to the negative aspects of what’s happening to the team, or just willing to trust that all will work out, does not make you a superior fan.

Just a different type of fan than I.

With each signing or trade, each Chiefs fan will try to determine rather they like the move.

Sometimes you will be right in your judgement. Sometimes you will be wrong.

Hopefully, since I am not real impressed so far, I will be wrong this time.

Nice post Chief31. Couldn’t have said it better myself.:sign0098::bananen_smilies046:

[Guru]

Who the hell is this Jake Utler anyway?

[Guru]

I would love to say I deserve them due to the fact I have a much more positive outlook on the Chiefs this year than in the past.

But… I am nowhere near creative enough to make it sound better than that.

It would be fun to take my son to a game without having to spend a bunch of cash though.

Not sure if you saw what I meant there. I believe there will be civil unrest either way.
