You I obviously recognized. Probably not your best posts highlighted in the op.

I'll make the distinction that IMO, "because Chiefs" is rooted in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ...where as much of the complaining in GDTs these days is when the Chiefs are trying to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, or at least struggling. "Because Chiefs" is when the Chiefs are leading the Cowboys or Broncos for pretty much the entire game, but people are assuming an opponent that hasn't found the end zone once in 50 minutes will now drive twice in 5 minutes for two touchdowns because the Chiefs are only up 13 and didn't score a TD to make it a 17 point lead. It's basically living with a fear that no matter how well things are going, the Chiefs will **** up. Most of what I see these days is the same sky is falling mentality that's existed for 20 years.... the Chiefs aren't playing perfectly enough or even playing poorly, which automatically means the other team will play great and win the game. It's a basic lack of faith the Chiefs can ever come from behind, no matter how small the deficit or how early in the game. There's of course some 'because Chiefs' rooted in that, but IMO something else is going on there, whether it's an inferiority complex, wanting to expect failure and be surprised by success, or being a ****ing moron. I dunno, after 0-24 against the Texans and having that deep sinking feeling during the Super Bowl when Mahomes threw that 4th quarter pick and so on and so forth, there are still times of "you guys need to pull your heads out of your ass" or "yeah, it's not their day" or escalating to WTF IS GOING ON?!?.... but, I feel like knowing they ARE and WILL continue to be a SB contender for years to come as long as Mahomes stays healthy is just so damn comforting. It took Brady refs for me to even get worked up about the SB loss (and I was very worked up about it), or else I would have just blamed the 5th string offensive line, knowing we'd be back the following year. Hell, none of us expected the struggles this year and they're currently the #1 seed..... if people can't take the bad that happens with all of this good, they should maybe find a new way to spend their time. ![]() |

I've seen a lot of "ERMERGERD THE HOURS SPENT ON THIS THREAD" ....and besides the obvious reasons for saying that, if you do the math.....
~4000 posts and let's say you can skim a post every 3 seconds, which is probably high considering the number of very short posts in a GDT, but it'll also take page loads into account. That's 22 minutes. And if you're an elite internet browser user, you're wheel-clicking (or whatever mouse shortcut) to open each 'Quote' in a new tab so you're not going back and forth all the time. And of course you're using 80 posts/page, because you're not a ****ing Neanderthal. And I think I counted 71 posts. So, that's 71 copy/paste jobs into a thread, let's say that takes 5 seconds each. So we're up to 28 minutes. Out of those 71 posts, 14 have commentary... let's say 20 seconds per comment on average (several are pretty short). So we're at 32 minutes. There's also some clicks to create the thread and read it over... a few more minutes. 35 minutes...... then we'll add 10 minutes for any overages. So, 45 minutes max to put something like this together, easily completed in the time it takes to watch one quarter of football in the background while sipping a nice bourbon or spirit of choice. |
