Your rationalizations are exactly what I havent missed in this thread since HGH's arm fell off.
You freaks had nothing to artificially brag about..so you scattered like rodents.
Mortgaging your future on a declining QB has given you guys a chance to feel relevant...
Just to remind you dildos...your franchise savoir went 6-8 last season with an almost identical roster.

I just disagree with you. Fans get tired of you quickly.
The example I always think of is the Red Sox in '04. I actually really pulled for them that postseason. Bunch of loveable losers, and all of that. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that now (especially being at Coors Field in 2007, when Jonathan Papelbon struck out Seth Smith to end it). I hate that team! There have been times when I hated them to an unhealthy degree.
Nobody cared about you guys before Mahomes. Oh, maybe they respected you. "That team is always pretty solid" - stuff like that. Now, fans are getting tired of you. Win another one, and you'll understand. Everyone loves a winner, as long as that winner politely steps aside, and gets back in line.
And the Chargers and Raiders? They lost their Super Bowls by a combined 97-47. Those of us old enough to remember the Raiders before they were pathetic still hate them. The Chargers? Aww. That's cute, What's to hate about the Chargers? They give us all an extra home game, each year.
In division rivalries, you up that hate - especially when two teams have been successful. Do you think we hate each other more than the Cowboys and Redskins (or whatever)? The Packers and Bears? The Bengals and Steelers and Ravens? The 9ers and Seahawks?
YOU believe the cheating thing. It's not even on the radar of most NFL fans. Mention John Elway to most fans, and their reaction is, "Man, all-time great - and I loved the way he went out."
