That IS tough - especially when I look at our losses. The Pats & Falcons games were so winnable.
But that's the NFL. Nothing is given to anyone. We're bummed because it's finally a year when the other teams that have given us a hard time in the AFC look to be struggling and possibly might all miss the playoffs - but imagine being a Ravens or Bengals fan. Chiefs fans are probably not happy, but they have some titles under their belt at least.
Maybe this is the way it has to go for us. We might look back & conclude that the adversity we had to face either as a WC on the road through the playoffs, or as a higher seed that had to really fight to re-take the division, gave us the mettle to finally win the elusive title that seemed more attainable in other years.
