If we popped up and upset you a couple times, we wouldn't have Patrick Surtain.
We have a couple of chiefs trolls over there now (Zerovoltz, RockyMountainOyster), and there have been some heated talk, but honestly, nothing like what I've experienced in here the past few days. And I'm not even a flamethrower.
I saw that thread as comedy until Mahomes showed up, that's when everything changed. I'm not a Mahomes hater or any of that - I definitely hope we kick your ass in a couple weeks, but I'm not in denial about young Patrick. In fact when my cousin visited a couple months ago, we sat down with cigars on the patio and talked about our Top 10 lists, like all red-blooded American men do. I had to acknowledge that young Patrick had leap-frogged #18 into 3rd on my all-time QB list. If you think that was easy you're crazy.
Jealousy? The last five years maybe, not before that. C'mon. That 48 years I been pointing out, that's no joke.
�� ... I am not in denial, my friend. I know what's up. We've had some pretty good success this millennium, but we don't compare at ALL to the crayon-red-clad native Americans ��
Yes they do count, that was part of the merger agreement. But there are very very few that ever pop up.
Again, believe it or not, I am not obsessed. I was trying to make a point ... I wish I'd never said "minor league". My point was for the first 7 years the only care the AFL had was surviving to press the issue of merger. As the franchise most cash-poor in the bank and piss poor on the field, I can accurately point to our top priority of survival as making our on-field performance unfair to be judged at this late a date. Especially with a silly record like 1-19 vs a wealthy team.

When I said "you're" obsessed, I meant collectively. It'd be hard to deny that Denver fans are very obsessed with KC/Mahomes, to the point of blaming officiating for every win and rooting for injuries to Mahomes. Then again, they're not alone. Most fanbases are obsessed with KC these days.
Denver fans have been jealous for at least 7 seasons, beginning with Mahomes blasting out of the gates with 50 TDs/5000 yds. That's no insignificant amount of time. A lot of KC fans were probably jealous circa 1998, when Denver surpassed them in SBs and went back to back. And again for a few years about a decade ago. But consistently jealous? Nah. Why? It's not like they had a Patriots-esque run that went on for decades. Just a few great years, with a lot of average/mediocrity in-between.
Think about it....if Denver had killed it for nearly 50 years while KC was really bad, as you claim....how could the Broncos find themselves behind in all-time win %, division titles, playoff wins, and Lombardis? Doesn't compute.
You guys want to somehow turn it into an advantage that the bulk of your success was 25+ years ago. If the roles were reversed and it were KC fans making these arguments, you'd laugh your asses off. Admit it.
