This seemed obvious to me back in March....a lot of things have seemed obvious that apparently weren't.

They would have in a heart beat.

They signed Antonio Brown, traded for Randy Moss, signed Wes Welker, etc.

yeah, I fortunately went through most of the stages before Sunday. Couple weeks ago, I guess. And i think you're right; this place does make it harder to be calm, lol.

it would be different if we'd never won a SB, I'd be fuming and probably nearly apoplectic. But we have won 2 SBs, and been to another, won the AFC-W title a hundred times in a row, 5 AFCCGs, etc. So I'm a lot steadier emotionally about my Chiefs, lol.

To me, it's kind of like how I'm a fan of the STL Cards. I've seen them win it all multiple times, been to a few WS games, etc. After the first two, I kind of leaned back, as it were. I wasn't as emotionally invested in every game, or even every season. if they looked kind of awful in the first half of the season, I would just tell myself, "it's okay, we'll either figure it out in the 2nd half, or we'll be back in the chase next year."

i haven't given up on the Chiefs in 2023, I just won't allow myself to be a nutcase about their struggles this season to this point. They'll either figure it out, or they won't.

Either way, they'll be back in the hunt in 2024. And the next season. And the next 5-10+ after that.

You guys keep forgetting the plan is to not mortgage any future years as whole for the team for one year of any player.

What chicken are you talking about? You're not going to get a legitimate WR because you don't want to add $1.5mil to Mahomes cap hit the next 5 years?

He has a 10 year deal, we can maximize restructures and not really worry about them restricting us because they'll be spread over the maximum number of years. And the chiefs have repeatedly said they're tearing up his current contract and giving him a brand new one in the next 2 years anyway so that chicken wont come to roost.

Or have difference of opinion. That's like if Pat makes a bad throw, you not being able to say you made a bad throw or bad decision or should have went a different way with the ball just because he's smarter and better at quarterbacking than you.

Or do you fall into the camp where you can't criticize or have a different opinion of a move than a GM just because you're not one?

I bet you were a fan of having Toney be WR1 coming into the season huh? I mean, Veach is smarter than you at being a GM, so there's no way you can disagree with that move.

Antonio Brown lasted 11 ****ing days with the Pats... You can't be serious. What a horrible take.

Because of off the field issues… nothing to do with his on the field performance.

I’d ask are you really that stupid, but you are the Reerunned dumbshit who continues to slobber over Skyy Less’ “elite blocking skills”… so enough said.

You should be able to show criticism and frustration with anyone on the team. I just don't get the horrible vitriol towards some our players. Now if they are bad guys, ok, but some of the hate and comments go beyond the pale for anyone who says this is their favorite team. I'm very disappointed with Skyy Moore, MVS, and yes even Mahomes on some of his bad throws, but none of them are bad guys, they aren't trying to **** us. Then many on here actively routing for them to fail, or call you out if you give them credit for a good play. At the game on Sunday, a guy in our section was bitching the entire game to everyone that could hear him. After MVS caught the pass for 18 yards, he started screaming, "why the **** did you turn inside, you should be ****ing cut your worthless ****", then immediately started to complain that we were going to get a penalty and we couldn't over come a 1 and 15 anymore. I finally stood up, turned around and told him to "quit his whiny bitching, no one in our section wants to hear it. You bitched after an 18 yard gain and you are bitching that we can't pick up a 1st down after we get a penalty, when on our last drive we picked up a 1st and 25 and scored a touchdown. All you have done all day is bitch, just stop, negativity is contagious, and were all sick of it", everyone in our section, pretty much said yes, just ****ing stop. It's just weird to me.

Oh, you know what his demand was? Link please to what his contract demands were.
No, you don't.

You might want to put that lip back where it is supposed to be and stop dragging the ground with it. You are going to get it hung on something.

He was cut by the Raiders for all that weird shit right before the Patriots signed him. That was reeruned to bring someone into your locker room with those issues and was far from "GM Genius" status your claiming. He was Marcus Peters on steroids.

My God, you are doubling down... Antonio Brown was a horrible signing. You were probably one of the guys on here hoping we would sign him in 2019...

And on Skyy's blocking, read my post, I said they had already removed him from most of the passing game snaps, and he was only on plays where his assignment was blocking on runs and quick hitters to other players. I then added that I hoped Ritchie J would get more against the Bills and Moore less. That happened against the Bills. But, since I didn't hope that he died in a fiery crash I am slobbering over him... Seriously, how do you guys live such a pessimistic life.

FloridaMan88 · 12-12-2023, 10:34 PM

You keep responding to my same post with multiple Reerunned takes that miss the point.

The point is the Faketriots during their dynastic run would not shy away from signing veteran WR’s such as DeAndre Hopkins.

And you trying to frantically run away from your brutally awful previous support for Skyy Less is hilariously pathetic.

Yep over 20 years you came up with 3, with the last one being a guy who was just cut for mental issues and lasted 11 days. Great take...

Then realize Hopkins wasn't an option when we signed MVS.

Then realize because we signed MVS last year and CJ decided to be a shithead this offseason Hopkins wasn't an option this offseason.

Then realize crying about shit after we won a SB with MVS makes you look stupid because you are mad about what's happening now.

JFC this place.

That dipshit still thinks that Veach can't manage the cap simply bc he can't maneuver Mahomes money to make his cap hits lower every single year

Are you suggesting that Brett Veach won't be aggressive in fixing this mess in the Spring?
