Do the decades of losing affect you? By stubtoechief on Dec 14, 2020, 8:10pm PST +
Someone posted earlier that we’ve won the division just four times in the last 35 years. That really stung. Has it been that bad? Have the Chiefs really won more division titles in the last five years then we have won in the last 35 years? Don’t get me wrong, I know that we’ve been bad, but have we been
that bad? Have we been
historically bad?
For me, the constant losing never gets easier. Emotionally, it drains you, saps you of your will to live. I know, I know: it’s just a game. But it would be nice to win

The injuries keep piling up for pass-rusher Khalil Mack, who missed Wednesday s practice with a shoulder problem. Mack sat out two days of practice last week because of a bad back and finished last Sunday s loss to the Detroit Lions with zero statistics. Mack has been a non-factor in several games this season as the Bears record plummeted from 5-1 to 5-7. The best guess is Mack still plays versus the Texans, but guaranteeing Mack s effectiveness is no longer as automatic as it once was. The Bears 2020 season will forever be remembered for the team s substandard offense, but Mack hasn t played like the former NFL player of the year he s paid to be.
