But it will be that much more satisfying to beat as many of these teams as we can. You obviously think we’re in bigger trouble with these teams than I do.
You say your view is realistic- I think its pessimistic. You think everyone else wears rose colored glasses- I say they’re enthusiastic and have faith.
I will use an example of what I mean by rose colored glasses fans. Brian Waters is still a very good lineman especially in the run blocking. He made the Pro Bowl. If he were still on the Chiefs team everyone would agree with that and speak of him highly. Now that he is gone these people say “he was washed up anyhow”, “the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest”. He is the very same player and person, nothing has changed there except he isn’t a Chief anymore. That is just looking at it as anything and everything Chiefs comes up roses, not looking at it realistically that Brian Waters is still a very good offensive lineman playing at a pro bowl level. No he isn’t as good as he used to be (which was one of the best in the game) but still better than a majority.

We hate a guy until he has arrowheads on his helmet, and once a guy trades his Chiefs uniform for another one, we hate him. Sure, there may be different levels of hate, but you sure don’t care as much about a guy not here anymore.
My example is Tony Gonzalez. I don’t give two poops if that guy gets a super bowl ring- especially since he left KC because he didn’t think he could get one here. So, getting a ring was more important than staying in KC, so good riddance. Other people still love the guy and wish the best for him. I hope Atlanta goes 5-11 every year he’s there. I’m bitter about his leaving.
I think Brian Waters IS still a good lineman, but it wasn’t my decision to cut him, and I don’t know why we did. But… we did, so we move forward without him, and complaining about it isn’t going to help. I am intrigued by the fact that he’s not on another team yet.

True. I don’t know if it is hate or bitterness that these players left. But same is true for any player we may look at during free agency and then he signs with another team. Some people say he was never a good player and we didn’t want him anyhow but if he signed with the Chiefs then he is a great player. He is a good player regardless of what team he signed with. That is just what I mean by looking at things realistically or being unbiased.

We played Indy last year, we play them again this year.We played Buffalo last year… and….
Wait for it……..
We play them again this year.
Obviously, we play some different matchups, some of which are definitely going to be tougher (Jets, NE, Pit), but I think we’re tougher than last year, too.
As I’ve said- we’ll see on the field, won’t we?
Bottom line is we had a easy schedule last year and tough schedule this year. At least someone finally admits to that.:efpge:

You seem to only like to argue and love to cuss/swear/name call. You seem to get off on just getting under people’s skin instead of talking football. One of these days you will piss off the wrong person dear Canada. Its easy to sit behind your computer and act like this though isn’t it? No this isn’t talking football either but enough is enough. Talk football and quit griping just because you disagree with someone’s opinion.
