I genuinely don't understand being a pessimist in the Mahomes era

Look, tonight's game was a bad stinky loss, and this team has some work to do. No denying that. But I don't understand the pessimism that some fans insist on expressing every time this team has an off night. I don't want Patrick Mahomes to have to put the team on his back, but he also did exactly that on one good leg to win it all last year... Shouldn't that make it a bit easier to relax and stay optimistic? Regular season losses just don't have the power to bum me out anymore, and I gotta say, it makes nights like tonight a lot easier. I highly recommend it!

Also, has anyone here tried the bread sticks from Papa John's? Great texture especially when they're slightly under baked. If you like your bread sticks to have any seasoning whatsoever, though, you probably won't like them.

Big difference between being a pessimist, and expressing exasperation at a particular give away loss by confounding play calling on critical plays and a series of drops by receivers who also couldn't get open most of the game.

It doesn't mean people don't still think Andy is a great coach or Veach is a solid GM or the team is destined to have a losing record.

A little adversity isn’t a bad thing. Pat being embarrassed last night tells me the Jags should prepare thy anus.

I doubt we win a game again.

We're just the worst and undeserving of love or affection.

Arguably the roster is on par with what Mahomes had to work with in his first ever regular season start against Denver.

Agreed. This team wins far more than they lose and I think it's taken for granted.

Honestly it's only a select few that taint every thread after a loss. Once the alcohol wears off, cooler heads tend to prevail for like 90%+ of this board. The miserable ones thrive on thee losses and most know who they are.

I wish. Demetrious Harris and Albert Wilson had better hands than any of our WRs last night.

It's no longer pessimistic to point out what was dog shit after the final whistle blew.
