We had a lot on the line this week.
We certainly wanted to win, not just because we do every week when we take the field, but because this was already one of our greatest seasons ever and we had a chance to make it "the" greatest season ever in the history of the franchise. The Chiefs have never won 14 times in a season, even in 1966 and our Super Bowl IV season we were 11-2-1 (obviously not yet playing 16 games per season yet).
We also wanted to win because we wanted to enter the post-season on a high. Both the Falcons and the Steelers are on very impressive rolls right now and we know that eventually our paths will cross with one of them, so we wanted this badly to let them know we were ready.
And we were playing the Broncos. A rival is always a great way to either start or end a season and, in spite of season ending injuries to both QB Kyle Orton and ROLB Elvis Dumervil , we wanted to make sure we did not give them an inch in the last game of the season!
* Once again ever so briefly stepping out of my role as GM of the Chiefs, I would like to again note that when in CPU vs. CPU "Spectate" mode, NO injuries actually happen in the games in which I participate, which is only slightly unfair and reduces the challenge and strategy of managing through what could be a devastating turn of events for your team during the season. I even spotted a "Career Ending Injury" on the list this season for what I think was the first time I remember.
Obviously injuries happen in purely "simmed" games between the other teams, but because of issues I had with purely simming and odd things happening (like a starting HB never getting into the game, ever, for multiple games...my very first experiment at a franchise that only lasted two years before starting this one) I simply "Spectate" every game.
I do hope they have dealt with this in M11? Please...
I was absolutely thrilled with the performance of the team this week and elated when we were able to post our 14th, club record-breaking, victory of the year.
I also recall when we signed our sponsorship agreement just prior to this season that the expectation was $12-million in return for 14 wins. I will be more than thrilled to cash that cheque AND then try to do it all over again!
Here's the the end of a great season and the beginning of what I hope will be an even better post-season!!!
