Do you expect fans to not get excited when big media heads like their team? |

![]() and how did that work out for you guys last season? The big hype became one of the worst teams ever since the merger.

Look at Denver in 2011, with Tebow and Orton and compare it to Cassel and Quinn in 2012. 2011 Broncos Rushing 4.1 YPA 13th Passing 7.5 20th Turnovers 18 28th 3rd Down 33.5 6th Tackles 1023 23rd Sacks 42.0 9th TOP 29:43 23rd Off Turnovers 30 2012 Chiefs Rushing 4.5 YPA 23rd Passing 8.0 YPA 30th Turnovers 13 31st 3rd Down 39.1 19th Tackles 927 32nd Sacks 27 29th TOP 30:20 24th Off Turnovers 37 Denver was on the field just as much in 2011 as KC was in 2012, yet that didn't stop their pass rushers from having a lot of sacks. They had more tackles, a better 3rd down efficiency, and gave up less yards per rush and pass attempts. KC did commit more turnovers, but were the 7 turnovers over a 16 game span really the only difference between the two defense? KC has some really good pieces defensively, but a lot of them were recognized more for past achievements then good on field play last year (really, Derrick Johnson is probably about the only exception defensively) |

No reason why fans can't think our team can compete on the field this year and be a pretty solid team. |

![]() Not many picked Denver in the preseason. Show me a link to one actually. Now back to the point what does that have to do with Chief fans thinking every single year that their team will be good? Hell there are some idiot chief homer that says Smith is better than Manning.

![]() Herm Edwards? Scott Pioli? I put zero stock in their opinions. Who gives a rip what Bruschi or Billick think? They get paid to talk, that's what they do.

![]() They were the sexy pick to win it all last year as well. Hub Arkush (of PFW) lost any remaining respect I had for him when he picked kFc to win it all last year.

The majority of our fanbase thinks we can have a pretty decent team this year. Probably around 7 or 8 wins. I live in KC and I don't see hardly any people or media members proclaiming that we're going to be an elite team, especially after last year. It's more like cautious optimism. I notice you guys always bring up Chiefsplanet (are they the rival board?). It's hard for me to believe that there are Chiefs homers when I see threads like this. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=270480 |

![]() Who is Hub Arkush? Because he's the only person I know of that said we were going all the way. Most people just said we would win the division last year.

I wouldn't expect the same turnaround though - we upgraded to PFM and you made a lateral move with Alex Smith (3 career 300 yard passing games in 77 starts). |

You could go down the list, starter vs starter and most people would take the Bronco player over the Chief player at just about every position. |

![]() That picture gives me chills, you can just feel the excitement of the fans, and the atmosphere has something special about it. I may be going out on a limb here, but based on the enthusiasm I'm picking up, the Cheifs are gonna win 5 games this year. I know, I know, I sound absolutely crazy, but you can feel it! Can't you? That old guy, yes that one there, he's the last person in his family to see the Cheifs win a Super Bowl, and his son is the only other person in the family to see the Cheifs win a playoff game; that's special. Andy Reid is a fat man, but every lipid in his body breaths excellence!
