From a Chiefs Fan Perspective

[Nikolai]

This year's Chiefs defense reminds me of our 2011 defense (also balanced by an all-time great offense); if you looked only at certain numbers and ran them certain ways, you could make a statistical argument that they're a decent defense. I guess we will see in 28 hours or so.

Not a good thing to admit publicly. There are so many things wrong with it and when a whole stadium full of people are involved it looks/sounds like morons en masse. You need to put an end to it starting tomorrow.

Sure I'll get right on that

Great, much appreciated. Perhaps the idiots doing it (and I realize there are thousands of them) would come up with something more appropriate and original if they understood that (A) it started more than 30 years ago at Florida State University then was adoped by fans of Atlanta's baseball team, (B) it perpetuates a ridiculous racial stereotype and (C) the melody draws from a 1930s Western movie. Also, native Americans hate it and have proposed that your football team be renamed either the Kansas City Rednecks or Missouri Greaseballs. Something additional to consider.

How about "Farmers". They could then get sponsrorship/naming rights money from Farmers Insurance, and that would come with a built in "chant" ...

"We are FARMERS! DUH-duhduhduh-duh-duh-DUT!"

Coin flip my ass.

Pats are CLEARLY a different team on the road...that's not even debatable, and you're going into one of the NFL's most hostile environments.

I'm pretty confident you're not going to like the end result Sunday.

Hostile environment because you want to think it is? When was the last time they won a playoff game on that hostile environment before last week?
How many times did they get spanked in that hostile environment in a row in the playoffs?

IF Eric Berry is healthy and plays at 90% or more it changes the entire defense, whenever the guys are interviewed on defense they always talk about him as the absolute QB of the defense and gets everyone going in the right direction.

I know you can't say its the same but if we didn't have MaHomes and had our backup QB we would be underdogs but 14 or more points. A heathy Berry makes a huge difference. We will see but last year in the first game we did well against the Pats and Berry was a huge reason why, not sure what we are going to get but optimistic.

No matter what happens for the city of K.C. this is a HUGE game, win or lose we are so excited for it and honestly I think when they polled across kc on who we would want to face, the pats or chargers it was a 90% or so swing for the Pats and I think mainly was because if you want to be the best you have to beat the best.

Both teams are healthy, it should be a very fun game! I'll be there screaming like the rest.

Good lucks guys, it should be fun!

Do you do the tomahawk chop chant?

I can't believe a thread started by a KC fan is going on 10 pages. WTF?

It’s a very apt proxy, both offensively and defensively (and even then the ‘11 Pats D was “better”).

FTR I thought the ‘11 defense stunk.

He calls himself "Rational Chiefs Fan" -- a rarity everyone had to come check out.

I agree %100. I am 80% native American. My relatives and many tribe members (Fugowi, Ohio), find it highly racist.
We actually have petitions already started to stop the chant, Arrowhead stadium name and of course the name Chiefs.

...and if we hear the "Chant" this weekend, intend to sue the "Chiefs" organization for racial slurs..

I remember doing statistical gymnastics for that defense and eventually just gave up. That's how I recognize the attempts to do the same with KC's defense.

Didn't they steal it from the Atlanta Braves anyway?

I'm not sure. We migrated to what we thought was Atlanta, and ended in Boston.
On our trail to Atlanta we look from atop a mountain and said "Where the Fugawi!"



My tribe name is "BS-er would runs with beer".
.. or Sol Bernstein for short.

Yes, and Atlanta Braves fans stole it from Florida State Seminole fans. It's a totally unoriginal, moronic hijacking of a horridly obnoxious concept to begin with. Makes me want to puke every time. I'd rather hear the J-E-T-S chant, and everyone here knows how much I despise the Jete.

I agree, I never wish injuries on any player but would be entertained if all fans doing the chant/chop started bleeding profusely from their eyeballs.

yup...real American indian fans out there in KC...here's Chief Sloppy Gutsenflabby...
