Cheering for Chiefs Losses, who is with me?

[timsatt1]

yeah yeah, i know the hardcore fans cannot cheer for more losses, because for some reason wins still matter to them even if they dont make the playoffs.

But 3 or 4 more losses, however many games are left this year, can GREATLY impact the chiefs next season in a positive way.

The most important reason is, if we lose our remaining games, the Herm era is for sure over. I personally think it is already over, but the more losses, the greater we will clean house with the coaches.

The second, and maybe equal to the above, most important reason for losing is that we have the opportunity to draft a way better player(s) next year or use our high draft pick for a good trade.

Either way, I think losing is going to benefit us for next year. Yes, it sounds like an oxymoron....but it is what it is.

And i was just curious....is there anyone else like me hoping for the remaining games to be losses?


let me at least attempt to explain myself....it is playoffs or nothing for me....

...if we dont make the playoffs, i dont care if we go 8-8 or 0-16.

same difference.

i am guessing that the majority of the board does not share my feelings, but i am curious.

Yeah in any sport I never liked the idea of losing on purpose. I think it brings more problems than its worth and just isn't the way to do it anyway. It's one thing to try to win and if you fail say, "Well at least we'll get a better draft pick" or "At least we'll have a lighter schedule next year." But to try to lose for those reasons is something I'm against.

Another thing to throw in the mix here is that a strong finish at the end of the year can give a team a boost for looking forward to the next year. Like the Titans started out 1-7 last year but then finished strong at 8-8, giving them good reason for optimisim for 2007. And they are indeed in the playoff hunt now at 7-6.

So I just always say play to win. I fear wanting to lose or not caring if you do or "just going through the motions" could compromise the integrity of the game. And then there's still other things like the fact that I am a die hard Chiefs fan and always want them to win, and that the players make so much money that they should be expected to give it their all for all 16 games regardless of if they are in the playoff hunt or not.

I guess in baseball there's no fringe benefit of losing (no easier schedule, no better player acquisitions) so what's neat there is you know a 60-90 team is going to do all they can to be spoiler to a 90-60 team and that makes every game count.

This thread sucks *** and all those who want the Chiefs to lose suck too. I think you are all a bunch of asses to cheer for losses. Enjoy the rest of the season traitors.

I will never root for the Chiefs to lose. Draft pick or otherwise.
Do you root for your friends to lose their jobs so they can collect unemployment?
How about for them to get hurt so they can take vicodin?

I could keep going, but I'm getting more and more pissed the longer I think about this stupid *** thread.

This clip pretty much sums up my thoughts on this thread.

Way to piss off the coach! Like I said before, you're not a true fan.

[DrunkHillbilly]

Well, I think we have a winner for tool of the year!!

Have you ever noticed that Tim is the only one actively rooting against the Chiefs? Maybe he would be better suited on a Raider or Bronco forum.
