What It Was Like Just 5 Years Ago

These days, the Chiefs are the villains of the NFL. But just five years ago, Chiefs fans were a punching bag. Here's a taste of what it was like, all from ONE single reddit thread on r/nfl. It was posted immedaitely after the Dee Ford offsides AFC Championship. All screenshots taken today.

Pretty fucking savage. Even Steelers fans ganging up on the Chiefs.

For the record, the Patriots would win LIII two weeks after this post, but haven't won a playoff game since, let alone go back to the Super Bowl.

Even Chiefs fans faced the reality. 

Since this moment, the Chiefs have won 4 AFC Championships, Bengals 1. It literally became the Arrowhead Invitational for 5 years in a row.

This stat was about Brady, but now Mahomes is up to two.

If a Chiefs fan admits their failures, 202 upvotes. If a Chiefs fan tries to trash talk, 2 upvotes. Bhay99 was a prophet, canadianbroncos was not ready to hear the truth.

Itshankscorpio was wrong in two sports in one comment. Dodgers would win the World Series in 2020.

This is just a classic pre-Mahomes interaction. Raiders fan talking trash, Chiefs fan dishing it back, and then the dagger, 50 years of no Super Bowl. There's no come back to that. This was every online interaction before LIV.

This Raiders fan was complaining about seeing Arrowhead red...

And now the Chiefs won a Super Bowl in the Raiders stadium before they won a playoff game there. 

Bengals and Steelers fans talking about how Andy Reid will never get it done. Now there's only 2 head coaches with more rings than Reid. What a turnaround.

So a Broncos fan starts a thread shitting on the Chiefs. Chiefs fan responds saying hey ya know, we made it to the AFC Championship game, that's better than the Broncos. Then a Pats fan comes in and says the Broncos who didn't make the playoffs didn't lose, and people act like it's great. Insanity.

Some other Broncos fan replied back. Yep, don't need to sweat missing the playoffs when you won a Super Bowl in recent memory. The ultimate trump card played over and over.

This one just might be the best one. Travis Kelce who is now the most liked, most famous, dating the most famous in the world, hosting SNL, host of a popular podcast...this is a big insult from 5 years ago.

Just a ton of Broncos basking in the glow of Chiefs failure. And I get it, I did the same to the Broncos, especially after their Super Bowl Choke Job, it's what rivals do. It just makes it all the sweeter now, to look back and see how smug and superior the Broncos fans felt over the Chiefs before the KC dynasty started.

And then there was one comment that was the most prophetic of all...and it wasn't from a Chiefs fan. A Packers fan looked into the future and saw the potential. Six upvotes.
