I think we'll be back, we should be the favorite going into 2019, but this narrative that this was the 2014 Royals, and next year we'll be watching Hosmer slide into home is, to me, a bit naive. Even with the best QB in the league getting a home conference championship game is hard. We should've won. i'm pretty optimistic about the chiefs' chances of sustaining success w mahomes at QB and hosting a ton more playoff games. when arrowhead is truly rocking, it's (obviously) a hard place to play, and the chiefs won't be home underdogs in any game for the next five years. even with this year's team expected to be .500-ish, the chiefs were favored in all their early-season home games by at least a field goal; and overall, they were favored in every game by an average of 8 points. through six years, andy is 36-12 at home since taking over the chiefs. i'd be shocked if the chiefs finish worse than 6-2 at home in the next several years, and they're likely to sprinkle in occasional 7-1's (like this year) or 8-0's. if you do that, the path to a top-2 seed is pretty easy. beat inferior teams on the road, win a couple coin flip games, and you're sitting at 12-4 or 13-3.I am no longer satisfied with anything less than the Super Bowl. Lamar Hunt trophy is a minimum.i'm pretty certain i don't care if the chiefs ever actually win the super bowl. i just want to see them in it, and i want to watch two weeks of nonstop coverage of the chiefs leading up to the super bowl, and i want to buy chiefs super bowl paper plates and chief super bowl themed cups, and i want to walk into my local sporting goods store and see chiefs super bowl tv shirts, and i want to walk into my grocery store and see chiefs balloons and chiefs cakes, and i want to be able to wear my chiefs shirt and have someone stop me on the street and say, "hey, chiefs, big game sunday!", and i want friends and family i haven't talked to in years to text messages like "go chiefs!" and "i'll be rooting for you" (as if i actually play on the team), and i want to see 500 chiefs related super bowl prop bets, and i want to see bud light roll its stupid beer fridges into all the local bars, and finally, i want to spend days torturing myself on how best to actually watch the game - home alone by myself? attend a friend's super bowl party? drive to vegas and watch at a sportsbook? fly to kc and watch at a bar? actually go to the game? don't get me wrong, it would be cool to win one. but on some level, i feel like this lifelong journey of being a chiefs fan would be over if they actually did.

Assuming they are going to spend all of their money on Mahomes for the next 12ish years.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
