For me... when MVS missed that catch I ****ing exploded. Every living creature in the house exited the room I was in because I went nuclear. That shit broke me on the season. That deleted any hope I had that this WR full of "DAWGZ" was gonna actually get their shit together. The issue is compounded by the fact that the FO, seemingly, thought we were only a Meek return away from being a whole unit.
As for taking joy in "how smart" I was by screaming since the end of last season that what MVS did in the AFCCG was a one off illusion and he shouldn't be trusted got me shit on a LOT. I hope you can understand how being able to come back and tell people to eat grape jelly out of my asshole could be satisfying.
That said... I still won't talk about how the game is over until the end just because of Mahomes.

That's not the same though.
I watched the Eagles game with Raiderhater and we were screaming about the last missed chance (well, both really)... and last week I pounded the floor when they showed Toney so offsides.
That stuff builds up to moments of wanting to break shit.
Doubting or even saying they won't repeat is still a far cry from "we're screwed at the QB position for years to come" or waving the white flag in not just the first quarter of a game, but the first quarter of just about every game.
Being emotionally invested is just part of fandom, which means taking it too seriously sometimes.
And I bet if they win a SB this year, you'd also proudly stop by and say yep, glad I was wrong about that!
You're probably also not in GDTs the rest of the season making sure everyone knows your hope waned weeks ago and everyone else is a butt ****ing moron if they're still optimistic... or that you're incapable of getting back that optimism. Hell, you probably WANT to have optimism...
