The Weight of Being a Chiefs Fan

Tonight the chiefs played on Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. The meet up itself held some nostalgia with it being the 50th year of the Super Bowl and these two teams were the contenders of Super Bowl I. However, the feeling of excited leading into this game was quickly extinguished as the Chiefs showed everyone just how hard it is to be a Chiefs fan.

We (I use the term "we" when talking about the Chiefs, because you know, weird things sports fans do.) have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball. We returned the exact same defense as last year while also gaining our 3 injured starters. The defense was one of the best in the league last year. They didn't allow a single 300 yard passer or a pass that went over 50 yards. That's pretty damn impressive. But just like everything else when it comes to the Chiefs and being a fan, we were swiftly torn down. Week 3 and we already give up BOTH of those categories in the same game.

It is unbelievable how frustrating it is to be a Chiefs fan. I'm no football genius by any means, but when I can observe the Chiefs offense and the design of the plays and see how simple they are, someone needs to not have a job there. The play calling is horrendous, the offensive line may be one of the worst if not the worst in Chiefs history, everything is just crap.

This is supposed to be our year, like every year, and just like every year we show everyone how seriously you don't have to take the Chiefs. This was one of the worst displays I've seen, and not necessarily because it was THAT bad, because we SHOULD be THAT good and we are nowhere close. Hey, we finally ended our NFL history long streak of having no wide receiver touchdowns though! Oh the joys of being a Chiefs fan!
