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

[carcosa]

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.

I was planning to set myself on fire today until I read this thread.

Thank you, sweetie.

this is really encouraging. 15 is owning it. Patrick will introduce his foot to the backsides of the recievers and correct this, post haste.

Only about 10% of teams that start 0-2 even make the playoffs (since the merger), which makes next week's game in Jacksonville more urgent than it needed to be if the Chiefs didn't let last night's very winnable game slip through Toney's butterfinger hands.

The stats are the stats, but when you lose by 1 point to a (probable) playoff team after laying an absolute turd like the team did last night, it's worth considering if this team would be doomed at 0-2 or if they might not compare well to the typical teams going 0-2

That stat is only because most 0-2 teams are bad. The Chiefs are very good. Next week is important, sure, but even if we lose I'm still not in panic mode or anything.

That stat is based on over 400 teams that have started 0-2 since the merger... not an insignificant sample size.

But of course none of those teams had Patrick Mahomes as their QB.

Hopefully the Chiefs will win next weekend and it will be a non-factor.

Its pretty easy to see why we as fans are pissed and annoyed.

This same shit happened to Tom Brady, Draft Capital spent on defense, weapons slowly diminish.

"Oh we got Mahomes he will make it work"

While going 0-2 is never ideal, with having an extra game in the regular season now, it's not quite the doomsday scenario it used to be. However, win the ****ing game next week!

And Aaron Rodgers.
For me, it's more that I don't want to see any of the Mahomes years wasted.

They all made fun of us, in fact, after our joyous reactions to the 41-14 and 42-27 wins, I want our fanbase to get to that point.

This fanbase is infinitely snakebitten, I swear. There are literal users on this forum that never talk unless they can find something to bitch about. It's such a weird mindset. It's like they're so used to the losing Pre-Mahomes that they can't function or interact properly unless there's doom and gloom to talk about. Like being in a losing mindset is the only thing they know.

Are the breadsticks better than Olive Garden? Sometimes I will just order the breadsticks and tell them the rest of the food is shitty.
