I very much love the AFC west right now. Even when teams are dogshit (broncos, raiders, chargers) it’s a fight.

Just loving this specific part of my sports life because I get to experience a chiefs dynasty and I genuinely hope that my chargers friends get the same when we are done.

same, but gently caress the raiders for-ev-er

The Raiders have been mostly dogshit since the early 80's, the gently caress are y'all still holding a grudge for?

I hate Denver more and my Dad does not understand.

He grew up watching Madden destroy the Chargers, I grew up watching Elway do it.

Yeah I grew up watching Elway winning a lot so they're my most hated team by far. The Chiefs are creeping up as a close second though for sure. The Chargers, well I just have such tremendous respect for Seau and LdT that it would take a LOT for them to get to the front of the line.

Of the four fanbases in this division, all if which I have experienced live:

Raiders fans: Delusional Cowboys fans of the AFC. Think every year is their year. Like to remind me about SB rings from the 70s.

Chiefs fans: arrogant with nothing to back it up. I haven't been to a Chargers/Chiefs game in the mahomes era, so this is all pre-Dynasty. Constantly considering themselves NFL Royalty, brag about SB 4 a lot. The Chop is racist.

Denver fans: Generally not knowledgeable about the nfl or their own team. Still think Tebow was great. Most think Drew Lock just needed a chance.

Chargers fans: insanely overrated their own teak every year and always want to build up mediocre players because they're funny on Twitter. Have absolutely no room to clown on anyone, yet still try.

If this subforum actually had the type of Raiders fans that are being referenced, I'd be too distracted squabbling with them to have time to properly be a hater on KC and the Broncos

Raider fan site forums/comments were uninhabitable poo poo holes of wall to wall delusional posters who thought every bad move of the Al Davis twilight was gonna be the one that sparked the 70s all over again

This forums resident delusional Raider fan is very charming by comparison

As far as the Chargers, it'll be interesting to see what kind of extended success is required to reignite that old loving feeling

Once they simultaneously experienced a lovely move (and inescapable mediocrity on the field), it really forced me to empathize more than anyone reasonably should for a division rival

I got accused by a Raiders fan of "believing in Worthy like they believed in James Jett" which is some kind of weird inside out self-own considering he was an undrafted free agent

James Jett had a sweet name for a gold medal Olympic sprinter, shame he wasn't very good at football!

And yeah I'd say that 99.9% of fans here in general are cool and chill people who are absolutely different from your average shithead fan from any random NFL team.

Raiders message boards are full of insanely delusional fans with ridiculous opinions and I have to assume it's the same for every fanbase. There's a guy on one forum that had an irrational hatred of Josh Jacobs because "he didn't score TDs" except he was like #2 in rushing TDs league wide over his Raider career or something similar so the goalpost shifted to "he's not a playmaker" which is dumb because Jacobs and Chubb were like #1 & #2 for broken tackles since being drafted. Dude eventually argued that DeAndre Washington was the better running back and a lot of you probably don't know who that is so yeah...

It's wild out there

Occasionally a fan of another team will pop in to say hello or bust balls in a lighthearted way and they get swarmed with assholes doing their thing and it's just lovely. I appreciate being able to have civil conversations and arguments with fans across the entire league, especially rival teams. If I ever popped into Chiefs planet or whatever and started talking about how I can't wait for Crosby to plant Mahomes into the turf again I'd probably be motherfucked into eternity and banned which is just silly. It ain't that serious.

No, we drafted him in 2016 but it looks like you ended up with him 1 year and he provided 5 whole yards rushing!

you wouldn't be banned but you would be told to drink antifreeze a lot which for whatever reason is the go-to insult there

Ross' way too early AFC West predictions:

Chiefs 12-5
Broncos 7-10
Chargers 7-10
Raiders 6-11

I hope we keep up the streak of everyone (not unreasonably) pegging the Raiders for 4th in the division and the Broncos/Chargers managing to gently caress it up and let them slip into 2nd or 3rd

if Payton avoids that fate with his current QB lineup, that's a low key coaching success even with a losing record
