Some of you guys are gonna call me a nut, I think one of the biggest reasons for our issues is the same problem I even go through as a fan this year - it just feels like the vast majority of these games don't ****ing matter. No emotion behind them, nothing to lose, nothing to gain.
Why is it that they always answer the bell when they've had to and Patrick leads the league this year in game-winning drives? Cause there's something actually at stake, something to gain.
Going for three-peat comes at many costs, one being that there's really nothing great than can come from a regular season game. Even last week's playoff game - we've never lost a divisional and were favored by nearly 10 pts. Yay.
The Chiefs coulda gone 17-0, season would still be a failure if they don't pull off the three-peat. That's top of mind.
Sunday, my theory is tested.
