There are some people who just can't stand winners, especially when their favorite team is done for the season by....not winning!
We should expect this not-always-logical reaction from fans. The term fan is said to have come from the word fanatic. Here are some synonyms for fan:
addict
afficionado
buff
devotee
enthusiast
fanatic
fiend
fool
freak
junkie
maniac
nut
sucker
Some fans will say anything (or type anything) to make their case for their team while saying negative things about any other team. It's just how it is.
The Chiefs are a great team by any measure. They were well prepared and played a great game. They've had a good run and the rest of the NFL is going to have to figure out how to stop them. History says that will happen eventually.
