  1. Rich has always been a real one and is a gem of a human being in general. The show’s gotta move on from Brockman though.

  5. I mean, I was always really happy to see the Patriots lose just to get somebody else from the AFC in the Super Bowl. I get Eisen’s sentiment, but a whole lot of people will not agree and will enjoy at least ONE season of no Chiefs.

  6. I legit hope for 12-3 Super Bowl that ends with the Eagles or whatever closing out the game on a 12 minute drive that concludes with a kneel down at the one. The drive should be almost exclusively three yard running plays with the occasional tush push.

  10. I finally get to hatewatch some afc teams again. Praying for a donkeys one and done!

  11. Ive been telling my local chiefs haters that their best case scenario was the chiefs barely make the playoffs and get blown out in the wild card round so the team doesn’t make drastic changes and worsens their draft pick.

    Now that we are eliminated and unintentionally tanking its going to help with the draft and schedule. Plus forces some long overdue changes

  12. I think my least favorite aspect of the Chiefs Dynasty is the revisionist history of the Pats dynasty and Tom Brady. My cousin and brother in law hated the patriots and Tom Brady to level where they could have been placed into a psychiatric ward. Yet now, they speak glowingly of the Patriots and Tom Brady when compared to Patrick and the Chiefs. It’s insane. Did everyone forget the what was 20 years of never ending the Patriots and Belichick are cheating, the league wants Tom to win etc etc.

  14. Would it be worse if we actually had a better season, winning most of those close games, and PM *still* suffered the same injury a few days ago?

  15. If we get Bills vs Rams I think it’ll be fun. If it’s anyone else vs Rams it’s gonna be a blowout like the last one.

    The entire rest of my season will be devoted to rooting for the Broncos to fail badly and embarrassingly in the playoffs.

  16. Where’s the lie? R/nfl likes hate watching the chiefs more than seeing their own teams win. 

  17. Just like the league is better off when the Broncos are bad. No one needs good Broncos in their lives.

  18. He’s not wrong.

    I don’t love the current Chiefs squad, but damn if i don’t love watching Andy Reid’s teams no matter what

  19. It makes sense a little though. The haters would be so much happier to see the chiefs lose in the playoffs on a big stage compared to Patrick being hurt and them totally out. If an AFC team wins, the narrative of not taking down the king will continue.

  20. I just don’t want the Donkeys, Chargers, or Rams to win it all. I don’t really want the Pats to win it all either, but I would rather have them in over the other three.

    I have family in CHI, so I will root for the Bears to win it all, even if that likely won’t happen.

  22. It’s definitely more fun for me. I will say there is something kind of enjoyable about watching a game and not having a dog in the fight.

  23. I actually like that the team sucked and didn’t make it. Nobody can say they took them out. The team just ran out of juice. It wasn’t any team taking them down, they just had an incredible run, and experienced the inevitable wear-down from it. 

  24. The NFL is going to miss those tv ratings as well

    Something tells me those Jags and Texans playoff ratings won’t match the Chiefs

  25. What seems absolutely silly to me more than the haters are the folks with full-on Stage 4 Chiefs Derangement Syndrome. I was scrolling through a completely unrelated thread yesterday when I saw a comment from someone complaining about Disney+ promoting a new Taylor Swift documentary, and it digressed into people celebrating Mahomes’ injury and not having to see the Chiefs or “Taylor’s stupid boyfriend” in the playoffs.

  26. Playoff views are going to go down tremendously. People love to hate watch and with the Chiefs out, views are going to drop

  27. The NFL for sure will be missing them and the Cowboys. Imagine the highest rated NFL game this season involved 2 non playoff teams.

  28. i’m glad somebody non-biased said it, because i was thinking it. I said it before, I was expecting more trash talk, but people lowkey seem kinda “lost” without having a villain.

    And also like i said, a lot of known social media accounts were built off of hating the Chiefs dynasty. Now they have to try engagement farming off other teams and start from scratch.
