You know, I really wish this high altitude BS would work for the CU Buffs, or the CSU Rams. I mean, it's really just so simple: they play at a mile high, it's a huge advantage, winning should just happen.
Oh wait... it's not that simple. Unless you're a complete reerun, then you believe it is that simple. How about the Denver Nuggets, this high altitude advantage should work for them, right? You know those NBA guys, super great athletes, just come on over to the Nuggets, it's championship haven over in Denver. Why? Because of the altitude, you idiot!!

Shit, you guys are hilarious. Elway's comebacks were entirely a result the altitude? Anyone who comes here is functionally "drugged" and it's not fair? You'll basically create any narrative you can think of to convince yourselves it's not the Chiefs shitty job of running their team poorly they've been worse than Denver so many decades. If Denver's altitude always afforded the Broncos at least a .500 football team, they wouldn't have sucked in the 60's and 70's. It's not like we were are sea level during that time.
And much of the effect has been proven to be psychological. Real altitude sickness doesn't really show until you go above 8000 feet. When it does affect you here, it will account for a 10% loss of efficiency in periods of ongoing cardio, like distance running or soccer. But in the stop and go world of the NFL, it's not as bad as people tell themselves. And with heavy hydration and the fact that all teams have O2 masks now, it can all be mitigated. But we sure don't mind reminding them. They've proven this with blood levels and actual science, not the comments of some fat Chief fan who can't walk up the stairs. And the more in shape a person is, the less they are affected. Hint: Professional athletes count in this category. |

Which was my initial point... KC's home record is just a red herring argument you pulled out of your ass... Everyone knows..including your polluted fan-base..that without homefield last season...Denver's SB chances were nill. Last edited by BlackOp; 08-12-2016 at 11:07 PM.. |

But, if you happen to be on a tight schedule, and you do not have the luxury of gradually acclimating, then you are more likely to have some problems. In fact, about 25% of unacclimated people will develop some symptoms of altitude sickness at 6,000 feet. Quote:
Those long drives in the second half, when the defense has been on the field for over eight minutes of game time (maybe 2x-3x of actual time), are they allowed to strap on the old oxygen mask? Quote:

Who cares about home field.
Let's talk about 'WWE Theory.' Something even MHM acknowledges. |

KC may be able to take the AFCW title this year but Denver won't give it up easily. KC may finally have the confidence to do it, they've played with a loser's mentality for a long time. When KC had a chance to screw something up, KC did so. KC actually may have managed to put together a good team and coaching staff since Marty and Vermeil.
