Wier and Brown (00:07)
Hey, welcome to the show all 11 of you. It's me, Jonathan, my good buddy, Cody Akins. Hey, my good buddy, how you doing? Oh, dude, I'm doing fantastic. Glad to hear you got your voice back. Yeah, it was shot last night and I don't think I've ever yelled as hard as I did during the game last night, but it was amplified.

by the fact that I was watching, we were at the game last night, courtesy of Webb Bixby, who is a wonderful human being, who invited me and Finn and my other son, whatever his name is, and Katie to his suite in the end zone to watch the game. Finn was yelling so loud the entire game. Like he...

was really into the idea that us yelling can disrupt the quarterback for the Texans. And he was like, so like so committed to that. And he was right. And I showed him the clip of John Elway. You know what you want to talking about. Yeah. Every time I'm talking about home team to lower the crowd noise or you will be time out a little shit fit to the refs. Just

puts on a two two and does a plie or whatever ballerina move over to the refs and say, they're being too loud. And the refs like, Hey, if you guys don't stop being so loud, that's going to be a penalty against the chiefs. Which leads us into the, I guess the conversation as it's gone over the last, at least what I've seen 12 hours or so about the game, 12 to 15 hours.

I'm to start off with this at a great time at the game. Chiefs won. Sometimes it was frustrating thought going into the game that they would do better than they did. And the reason I thought they would do better is because they'd had three weeks to rest. I didn't, guess factor in that not playing for three weeks might make you rustier than I thought they would be. I was like, nah, they're not going to, why would they be rusty?

They are championship team. They've been through this before. And I realized watching them. Oh yeah. They kind of were rusty against the Browns when they did this back in 2020. And they are also kind of rusty against the Texans when they only had one week to rest against the Texans in 2019. Yeah. Yeah. And they weren't really rusty against the Jaguars, but you know, my home's got his ankle rolled on. it's not whatever.

They weren't rusty against the colds in 2018. They, they dominated them and cause Andrew Luck to leave the league point is it was frustrating at some points because I do feel like they were just a little bit out of sync. And I didn't just hear Troy Aikman say this about the chiefs. heard Tom Brady also say this about the lions that sometimes when you have a week off or two weeks off and then you go play a team that's been playing

into playoffs at a high level, you can play a little bit tighter. You're not as loose. The game is maybe a little bit scarier because it's moving faster than you can move in practice. So they were a little rusty. They came out first couple series. I mean, except for Nico Romeo who

had a kickoff return that was amazing. That was maybe the loudest I yelled was not when he had that kickoff return that got us down to like the 20. Well, it got when he fumbled and then it was it was called a recovery for the chiefs because everybody in the stadium was holding their breath. And then yeah, got the unsportsmanlike penalty for the player ripping off his helmet, throwing it, then going over the special teams coordinator. Why did the refs make him do that?

I know. I don't understand. Why did the refs make him do that? Why did they make him rip off his helmet and then go shove his special teams coordinator? I don't, I don't understand that. Yeah. Why did the refs make the offensive line? Let CJ Stroud get sacked eight times. Eight times. Yeah. Why did the refs let Travis Kelsey get open wide open in the end zone? Like, Why did the refs do all of this? Why did they let Leo Chanel block yet another field goal? Hey.

Why did I mean fair baron miss a field goal and a point after attempt? Why did they make him miss that extra point in that field goal? Yeah, I don't know. So yeah, I guess let's just get into it because again, that is the been the conversation I've been saying all over the place for the last 15 hours or so is the refs and a lot of that you have to realize something and I realize it as a broadcaster or former broadcast or whatever the hell I am now.

The power that you have in driving narratives as a broadcaster is the true power of this. It's not, I just get to talk and voice an opinion while something's happening. It's when you're in that moment, your reaction to stuff drives the narrative of what happens. And here's some examples. Back in...

2018 slash 2019, the AFC Championship game, Chiefs versus Patriots. Every Chiefs fan, probably every Patriots fan is gonna know what I'm gonna talk about right now. There was a roughing the past recall against Chris Jones for literally waving his hand in Tom Brady's face. Didn't hit him, didn't touch him, touched his shoulder, which was actually okay, but waved his hand in Tom Brady's face.

and they called roughing the passer against them. The chiefs lost that game. Not one player in the locker room later said anything about it was the refs. The chiefs lost the game when D forward lined up off sites. Not one person in the broadcast said, yeah, I get it. But you can't call that at that point in the game. Nobody said that.

Tony Romo and Jim Nance called that game. Here was Tony Romo and Jim Nance's reaction, I literally just watched it. Their reaction to that was, ooh, I didn't really see much there. And then they had Gene Starritor on and he was like, yeah, I mean, no, it's not much there. And that was it. That was the extent of it. A year before, Patriots are playing the Jaguars in the AFC Championship game. So let's just be clear.

the stakes in both these examples way higher than a divisional game.

Jim Nance and Tony Romo are calling that game. At one point, miles Jack, the Jaguars player gets a strip fumble where I can't remember which I think is maybe as West. Well, I don't remember which Patriots player was wouldn't have been Wes Walker, but he gets the ball from him. And not only does he get the ball from him, he gets up and starts running the other way.

would have had an easy scoop and score. And the refs...

blew the play dead, said he was down. Nobody had touched him. He was on the ground, getting the ball, but no one had touched him when he was on the ground. So it was not a dead play, but the refs blew it dead. Jim Nance and Tony Romo on the call for that play went, seemed like he really wasn't down, but all right, and moving on. Like you're supposed to do.

even though those were way more egregious than the roughing the pass or penalties that happened to the precious Texans in the game last night.

So let's go back to last night. There's a roughing the passer penalty against the Chiefs. The initial view of it from behind. I'll agree. Looked like it was not roughing the passer. It looked like, what is the guy's name? Williams Anderson? Will Anderson. I think that's his name. He's got like such a generic name, it's hard to remember. Looks like the Texans player hits him and maybe just hit him a little bit hard.

and knocked Mahomes backwards. And I can understand them going, it doesn't look like there's a lot there. But then when you see the side angle, dude hit his fucking helmet into Patrick Mahomes' face mask. That's gonna be called a penalty every goddamn time, every time.

but they were meh, I don't know, they're really protecting the quarterbacks these days, on and on and on about it. It wasn't that it just, I didn't see much there, it's let's keep showing it and talking about it, know, you know, then later in the game, on first down, Mahomes has the ball, is scrambling. Now I'll admit, I don't like this play from Mahomes, I don't. I thought the slide was kind of silly.

and maybe was flag baiting just the teensy bit. Watching it on TV, I'm like, you know, I don't 100 % agree with that call. And I mean, look, I'm a Chiefs fan and anything that benefits us benefits us. But at the same time, it's like, you know, he slid late. The two players were already in motion for the tackle. We got away with one on that. No bullshit. Here's why. I don't think Mahomes should have slid.

If you want to say don't call roughing the passer, if he's sliding a little bit late, fine. But that's not the argument. Okay. Okay. The argument is did they lead with their helmet and was their helmet the helmet contact? Because if you have those two things, it's roughing, not roughing the passer, but unnecessary unsportsmanlike. Yeah. It's a 15 year penalty for that. Right. They did. They both did.

That's why they fucking hit their helmets together because they're both lunging at him helmet first and go back, find a replay of it. There's helmet to helmet contact. can't remember which player it is, but there was two of them. One on the right hits Mahomes square on the helmet.

So no, it definitely qualifies for that penalty. Now again, you can argue that you shouldn't give it away if a player sliding and Aikman was saying, well, you know, when he's like that, he's a runner and they should be able to tackle him the same way they tackle any runner. Yeah, and you can, you can tackle any runner the way you want, any way you want, but you cannot initiate helmet to helmet contact on anybody. That's a penalty. It's gonna be called every time, but they would not.

shut. wasn't just that they wouldn't shut up about it. It's that they kept bringing it up surreptitiously throughout the game. Like it was included in their rundown later in the game when they're like, yeah, you know, the Texans missed the field goal. And of course, then there was that egregious penalty, which benefited the chiefs and blah, blah. Okay. Let's also examine how much has benefited the chiefs. The first roughing the passer call.

resulted in them getting a field goal. So three points. The Chiefs ended up getting a field goal. Now, that was on third down, they wouldn't have gotten those three points if they hadn't gotten that RTP goal. And sportsman-like.

was on first down.

If it hadn't been called, it would have been second and four.

Wouldn't have made any difference.

On that drive, they ended up getting a touchdown. Wouldn't have made any difference if that was called or not. But let's say that was the only reason they got a touchdown on that drive. It couldn't have possibly been Al Shair just missing his assignment for like the third time against Travis Kelsey, forgetting that he's the greatest pass catcher ever and letting him get lost in the end zone.

Couldn't have been that. No, no, it had to be the fact that the refs gave them an extra 15 yards. So let's just say that's the only reason the Chiefs scored a touchdown there. So that's 10 points that had been taken off. Disregarding the safety that the Chiefs gave to the Texans at the end, how many points did the Chiefs win by?

Mm, what 11? Yes, they won by 11. Yeah, so we still would have had a point because the missed extra point, right? So just the the the the rhetoric or rhetoric is just exhausting. It is exhausting. Exhausting and it's being driven by the likes of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck, who, by the way, I I know you hate Joe Buck.

And I've always defended Joe Buck. Not anymore. I'm done. I'm out. out. Thank you. Yeah, I'm done. No, that that he can he can. I tried to tell you during during the text back and forth yesterday, I was like, Joe Buck is pissing me off. So here's the thing. It's at the game. I had no awareness of any of this. It was great watching the game without knowing that.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were literally taking turns calling the Chiefs basically frauds and flag merchants. Okay? I like Joe Buck as an announcer because one thing he does that I don't hear from a lot of announcers except usually Kevin Harlan is he really is great at setting the moment and building the excitement. And it's almost

It's almost operatic. It's almost a musical in a way when when you have an announcer who can nail the moment in the tone of their voice precisely. But here is a glaring problem with Joe Buck. And it's been I can think of more examples of this, but I'll just give you two last night just going on and on about not only the roughing the passer, not only the unsportsmanlike, but also then talking about my homes, trying to flop for a flag.

which they didn't get a flag, so why are you still talking about it? And also, never heard anybody go on and on and on about Josh Allen, who literally has a highlight fucking reel of flops.

Joe Buck has a problem where he is very good at reacting, but he's also very good at overreacting to situations because probably his most famous call, at least in football, is not the digs Minnesota miracle. There's another Minnesota game. It's Randy Moss. You know what I'm talking about? Randy Moss caught a touchdown in Green Bay.

and then simulated pulling his pants down and mooning the crowd. He didn't do it. He didn't, he didn't actually do it. But Joe Buck up in the booth goes, and that is a disgusting act by Moss.

It it wasn't it was silly. It wasn't disgusting, and that was a real overreaction to it. The lion, the lions had a player who was tumping the ground last night as a touchdown celebration. I love that actually. So anyway. I have spent too much time. On Reddit and Twitter arguing with idiots about this and here's

the biggest takeaway from the ref stuff. And here's if you're a Chiefs fan, I want you to just plant this firmly in your head.

It doesn't matter in the long run. None of it matters to the chiefs and to our dynasty. He's, might be like me arguing with idiots online because you're like, don't tarnish this victory. This is significant. This means something. This is a team that is on their way to seal their names in the record books in a way that no NFL team has ever done. Don't tarnish that with your, your

whining about the refs on calls that were legitimate and justified by the way.

doesn't matter because who gets talked about as the greatest dynasty in NFL history? The New England Patriots. And nobody other than Patriots fans during their dynasty thought that they were legitimate. Nobody. Everybody talked about how they were cheaters or they talked about Spygate and and you know the holding calls against the Rams and stuff. Deflategate.

And they talked about how much the refs love them. I gave two examples at the beginning of the show about the refs loving the Patriots because they did, I guess. I don't know. If anybody got great calls, it was Tom Brady. And the two calls I cited way more egregious than anything that happened in the game last night. But nobody cares. Nobody remembers that. Nobody focuses on it. And I remember this that after that Jaguars game.

Go watch first take, which was Stephen A Smith and at the time a guy named Max Kullerman. Max Kullerman gets on and goes on for like 10 minutes about how the Patriots are frauds. This is a tainted victory. The refs handed it to him. It's hard enough to beat the Patriots and beat the refs at the same time.

And nowadays, nobody cares about that. People call Tom Brady the goat. People call the Patriots the greatest dynasty of all time. It's not gonna matter 15, 20 years from now. It's not. But here's where it does matter. It shouldn't matter. It isn't gonna matter to the legacy of the Chiefs and it shouldn't matter to you as a fan.

But you should embrace it as the background music to our dynasty.

Because it does matter.

as far as the other fans are concerned and the players for the other team. If you heard the Texans last night being interviewed in the locker room, almost every single one of these assholes. And I used to really like D'Amico Ryan's, I to really like CJ Stroud.

Will Anderson even, even though I couldn't remember his name even earlier, but Will Anderson. All of them blaming the refs. Joe Mixon, not a big surprise. He's a former bangle. Of course he's going to blame the refs.

They're all blaming the refs. All just say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we knew coming in here. That's kind of situate. D'Amico Ryan said, we knew, was asked about the officiating and he said, well, we knew when we came in here that it was us versus everybody. And I do mean everybody. Really? It was, again, it was the ref. You can claim in a close game, you can claim that those calls mattered, but it was an 11 point victory for the chiefs where they got eight sacks. I looked it up.

Do you know how many teams have won games in the NFL after giving up eight sacks? Since the year 2000, I looked this up on Pro Football Reference, since the year 2000, 113 teams have given up eight sacks in games.

Only 13 of them have won those games and that's in playoffs and the regular season. The only, the one exception in the playoffs was the bangles against the Tennessee Titans who were actually legitimate frauds in the divisional game in 2022.

You don't win giving up eight sacks and then combine that with how many teams when if they give up a almost 80 yard kick return at the beginning of the game. How many, how many teams win against an elite, possibly greatest of all time quarterback when you're allowing him to just march down the field with his 35 year old tight end.

How many teams when when they get a field goal blocked, miss a field goal and miss a PAT and give up eight sacks? I'm actually I don't know if I can. I mean, I might actually try to see this. I'll try to look this up and I'll give you the answer on on Facebook later. I don't I can't imagine there's any team. Yeah, ask your good buddy, chat GPT. See what he says. Well, chat GPT would be like, that's an interesting question. Here's a way that you can find the answer. And it would just tell me to go to pro4ponereference.com.

So it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to Chiefs. It shouldn't matter to Chiefs fans what people say about the refs. But one thing, if the fan base for the Texans isn't holding their team accountable for playing a shitty game and instead they're blaming the refs, good. They're not gonna get better. They're not gonna get better. They're not gonna improve.

After the Chiefs loss to the Patriots in 2018, we could have blamed the refs. We could have blamed, you know, the D-Ford offside. How can you call into that boy? That's wrong. Chris Jones roughing the past. That's bullshit. And mean, people were mad about that. But were we more mad about that or were we more mad about Bob Sutton? Yeah. We were more mad about Bob Sutton. Didn't we run his ass out of town after that We ran his ass out of town and hired Steve Spagnolo.

We were more mad at D Ford. I've heard people going after spags for head coaching interviews and it's like, no, no, no, no, we can't let him go. Can't have him. No, don't. I don't want him to go for two reasons. I he's almost as old as Andy Reid. He's a little bit younger, but I ain't saying this seems healthier. I genuinely don't want him to go because I feel like when Andy finally hangs it up in a couple of years,

He's the heir apparent. Could take over and I typically don't like defensive head coaches, but when you have my homes, you don't need a great offensive head coach anymore.

You know? So anyway, it doesn't matter because the fans aren't going to hold them accountable. But as far as the team is concerned, if they're making excuses, if they're saying, yeah, we expected the refs to favor the chiefs, they always do, then they're not going to hold themselves accountable. And you cannot get better unless you do that. Even by the way, even if you're not right, there's no harm in holding yourself accountable.

even when it's not your fault, because then you still force yourself to get better. You still force yourself to improve, maybe in areas that aren't as bad as you were letting on.

So the team's not holding themselves accountable and going into the game. If that was their mindset while we knew we were taking on the refs and the chiefs, then that's a huge advantage for the chiefs. That's awesome. If that is every team's mentality going into playing the chiefs, that is fantastic. That is a huge advantage. It's a huge psychological advantage. So let them have it. Let the baby have their bottle. Cause it's good for us.

No. Let's do this.

The Bengals lost the AFC championship in 2022, 23 to the chiefs. When Osai pushed Mahomes when he was clearly out of bounds and the Bengals fans all cried and whined that you can't call that at that point. You can't call that. Right? You can't hit a quarterback 10 yards out of bounds. Exactly. What happened? Have the Bengals been back to the playoffs?

No, because it shows a terrible culture in the locker room where you don't hold yourself accountable for your mistakes. So, and your, and your fan base, if your fan base isn't holding you accountable, you're not going to get better either because look at, look at how they reacted this year. They missed the playoffs because Joe Burrow blew six games where he had the ball and could have made the difference at the end of the games.

And all I have to hear about is how he's a goddamn MVP or he should be the MVP when you go watch their games. He's not clutch and he has like one game winning drive. He's not that good. They don't hold him accountable. talk about him like they hold us accountable for them not making the playoffs. Yeah. Right. The chiefs, the chiefs didn't play. So we missed the playoffs. Now. So yeah, they're yeah. I gotta share this. Yeah. I gotta share this real quick because I just had a random Google thought.

I wondered, know, how many of the staffers get Super Bowl rings? How many of the players get Super Bowl rings? And I, do the mascots get Super Bowl rings and they don't automatically qualify for it. It's up for the management of the team to get a Super Bowl ring. That's awesome. And I can confirm that KC Wolf does have a Super Bowl That is so cool. KC Wolf has more Super Bowl rings than the Bengals.

And another random fact it has nothing to do with the Chiefs Yeah, Jayden Daniels made the NFC championship game before Dak Prescott did and he's only been in the yeah He's only been in the NFL for one season That's awesome

Yeah. Look, how about them Cowboys? I don't hate the Cowboys the same way you do, but I get it. get it. I don't really hate the Cowboys. I just don't like Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones. So anyway, if the fan base isn't holding the team accountable and the team isn't holding themselves accountable, they're not going to get better. Look at the Bengals. They were awful this year and last year their excuses. Well, Joe Burrow was hurt. So yeah.

They had the exact same record this year as they did last year with Joe Burrow hurt. So no, it's because the fan base is perfectly happy blaming the Chiefs for them not making the playoffs. That's not winning. That's not gonna lead to success. The Chiefs knew they would have had a riot on their hands if they had not fired Bob Sutton after 2018. People were losing their damn minds. We would have started, and we done it before.

started flying banners over the goddamn stadium saying fire Bob Sutton. And then that's one example. The Eagles lost us in the Super Bowl. There's a holding call that was obvious. Not from the initial angle, but from the secondary angle. He's literally pulling on Juju Smith Schuster's shirt, right? Greg Olson bitches for three minutes.

on the broadcast about it and it gives Eagles fans an excuse to let their team off the hook and not hold them accountable. And what happened last year? I know they won like 10 games, but they limped into the playoffs and they got blown out by Baker Mayfield in the divisional game or no, the wild card round, wild card.

Right? So you don't hold your team accountable. You start making excuses for them. You start blaming the refs. You don't get better. No, the commanders are a perfect example of what happens when a fan base holds their team accountable. They made the team sell. They, mean, they got a new head coach. They drafted a quarterback. They got new ownership and, they're going to the NFC championship game. Do they impose their will on the NFC one seat last night?

And it was one of the most amazing things I've ever watched. Dan Campbell was all but crying in his post game interview. He was actually crying. You know what? I'm sorry. I like that. I would rather see a coach up there crying and saying, I'm sorry. I let everybody down. Then D'Amico Ryan standing there going, well, we knew we had to take on the refs and the chiefs instead of making excuses. Like people were saying, are, that's so unmanly. Okay. Why don't you go fight Dan Campbell?

You go take him on in a fight. Because I guarantee Dan Campbell is going to kick 99.9 % of anybody's ass on Twitter. Especially anybody making fun of him for crying. Yeah, I just think, you know, this isn't a swipe at the Lions. The Lions lost. That's all there is to it. But you can't turn the ball over five times and expect to be in it. But I mean, the commanders, you know, going back to what we said, it's about the fan base holding their team accountable. They did it. And dude,

they turn their shit around. And just think, the Chicago Bears had the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes and Jaden Daniels both. And you know, they got, you know, Mitch Trubisky and Caleb Williams. And- Caleb, I feel like it's, the book's not written on Caleb Williams. I'm going to give it another season before I'm going to write him off. I think that there's still the potential there. Look at Jaguars though.

Jaguars fans still go into the games. Still supporting their team. Look at the Browns. They literally gave a guaranteed contract to a serial rapist. Who has missed more time than he's played. Yeah. Who is washed up, missed a season and a half because of obviously his legal issues. And they went out and bought season tickets. And they're saying he's all next season now too.

Yeah. What happened? What happened? They're doing great, aren't they? They got rid of Baker Mayfield and that those fans I saw the fan, the Browns fans I saw on Twitter were like, good. Thank God he was holding us back. Now we got the Sean Watson to step in. I know he's got some problems. Bo, you're so perfect. Like literally is there conversations I was having with Browns fans online? How best do they do anything to get Baker back right now? I'm going to read you something because I just saw this earlier.

And I think it's fascinating. This was written after the Chiefs lost to the Titans in 2018, technically, but it was the 2017 season, the last season without my homes, right? If you remember that game, the Chiefs, I believe had a 21 point lead that they blew to the Titans. There were a couple of really funky things that happened. One, Marcus Mariota caught his own touchdown.

I watched that game with Rod and I think he had at least three heart attacks during that one play alone.

You remember though, Derek Johnson probably had the hit of the season. He leveled Marcus Mariota who dropped the ball when he got hit. And the refs ruled it down by forward progress. You remember that? So the Chiefs think that the film will recover.

Here is from Arrowhead Attic, writing about what the Chief's reaction was after the Andy Reid just, sorry, after the fumblies, Andy Reid just goes about his business when it's not called correctly. Ned Yost.

would have been screaming for five minutes after he got ejected after a bad call like that. Listen to Reid after the game and he sounded exactly the same as when he was dressed up as Santa Claus after clinching the division. What kind of energy can you expect from your players when your head coach wouldn't show electricity if he got hit by lightning? Again, while that is a fan base holding their coach accountable,

They're saying we're mad that he didn't have a meltdown about a bad call from the refs. Personally, I'm happy that that's Andy Reid's reaction because he goes, no, we yeah, that was a bad call by the refs, but we should have won the game. We should have never been. And my home just said that too in the past when he's been asked about officiating, he's like, well, you should never put yourself in a position where the refs can decide the game. Is there not perfect?

I just thought that was fascinating too, because that was a point where Andy Reid could have gone scorched earth. It's considered one of the worst calls in playoff history. Even if you hate the Chiefs now, back then, everybody was losing their minds about that call, justifiably, because it was insane.

But at the same time, nobody was saying, the refs have rigged it for the Titans. Everybody was saying, wow, that was a really bad call by the refs. What the hell's wrong with them?

Yeah.

Anyway, we're moving on. We're going to play against either the Ravens or the bills and the AFC championship game and the Ravens and the bills. If any other fans are listening, you need to know that you're not just playing against the chiefs. You're playing against the chiefs and the refs. And if you lose, if your team loses, it's not their fault. There, they were clearly the better team. Blavins, Rills.

They were clearly the better team. It's just the refs. The whole thing's rigged, guys. The whole damn thing is rigged and you need to take account for that. And don't hold your team accountable when they lose because it's not their fault. It's just not. It's just not. May I ask, who do you wanna play? Yeah, that's a great question. I was thinking about this last night. I...

I would rather play the bills because

It's just textbook that they beat us in the regular season and then we beat them in the playoffs. Josh Allen has never beaten the chiefs in the playoffs. mean, neither is Lamar, but he's Josh Allen said way more chances to do it than Lamar. I, I mean, it's hard to say this before the game too. I might change my mind after the game, depending on how Lamar plays, because if Lamar is

typical playoff Lamar and not the Lamar we saw last week against the Steelers. Then I'll say, obviously the Ravens, but as it stands right now, I see the Ravens as more of a dual threat because they have Derek Henry and Lamar and their defense has gotten a lot better. Or as the Bill's defense hasn't really been great all season and they've been a one man show with Josh Allen. And I mean, James Cook is pretty good too, but I just don't think that

If they had, I just hope it's a great game tonight. Like I hope, and I've heard other people say, I hope it's a triple overtime motherfucker. I hope that it just goes on and on and on and I hope it, leaves the 2021 13 second game in the dust. I hope it does. I hope it's amazing and just emotionally and physically draining for whoever wins that game. I just hope both teams have a good time. I, that's the, know. But I'm also,

You know, you ask that question. It doesn't matter because they have to play us and the refs. So who cares? Well, I, I want to make it. I've got reasons for wanting to rematch both teams. Like you said, we have the, we have the blueprints for spanking Josh Allen in the playoffs. Yeah. So I absolutely love that. Plus it's a revenge game of where they beat us in the regular season and the bills are like, we expose the chiefs. We expose the chiefs.

Yeah, okay. But I would love nothing more than to come out and spank the Ravens after they made those remarks at the beginning. If this is the best they got, then they're screwed because this is the worst we're going to be. Well, and they also blame the refs after that game. Yeah. They also said like his toe, like Lamar was asked about it and Lamar was like, to me, his toe was in bounds. It was in bounds. And what happened after they didn't hold themselves accountable for losing to the Chiefs? What happened a week later?

They lost to the Raiders. They lost to the Raiders. Guys, this is why you need to hold yourself accountable for things. Even if it's not your fault, even if the refs do screw up. That's what Andy Reid does. Andy Reid doesn't sit there at a podium whining about the refs. The closest I've ever seen to that was the offside penalty against Kaderius Tony in the Packers game.

or no, sorry, the Bills game last year. And even then, his ass out of town. Yeah. You know who we held accountable more? Kedarius Stoney.

And I feel a lot of that was being mad at, or like we were pissed off at the refs, but secretly it was where you have to get Katoni off the team. Yeah. And then he, he dropped a ball against the Patriots that led to interception and was never back on the field again. so anyway, I, I want, I want to see, I don't know who they're, they're pretty even. I would rather see the bills.

just the revenge factor of it. And I just don't believe that Josh Allen is going to be able to beat us in the playoffs ever. just thought the Ravens, the Ravens brought back that toxic player. They, they cut that wide receiver for being a turnball and then, then who picked him up? The Texans did. And then the Texans cut him because they want to play off game. He's like, I didn't get enough targets. So they cut him in the Ravens, picked him back up. like, just cut this idiot for being an asshole and how you're bringing him back. Okay. This is going to sound

It's going to sound insane. I would rather it be the bills because if the Ravens beat us and then go on to play, I don't know, the commanders, the Rams, who's left in the NFC, the Rams and the Eagles, right? The Eagles. Yeah. The Rams and the Eagles play tonight. Who cares? That's just boring. But the bills, if they manage to beat us and the refs magically,

I actually would like them to get to the Super Bowl and maybe win. Like, I know that's, you know, I'm supposed to hate everybody, but I have some friends in my life that are Bills fans. It would be nice for them. Whereas the Ravens have won Super Bowls recently, or like 2013 at least, I mean, 12 years ago, but still, it would be nice. And then maybe we, everybody could shut up about the Bills. That's the other thing too. I would...

If we win this year, I hope we don't four-peat. I don't think it's possible, but I hope we don't four-peat. You know why? Let another team, let another team just have the spotlight for a little bit. I've said this before. If the Chiefs win, get the three-peat this year, then next year, they should just take the year off. They should just do the Denver game. Just lose every single game. Don't play Mahomes. Don't play Kelsey.

just lose every single game. Don't play Christians. Let everybody rest for a year. And I mean not rest, but you know, work out, get stronger and healthier and everything. And then come back in 2026 with, by the way, finally a great draft pick because we would have a great draft pick and just, just destroy everybody all over again. Do the, do the Jordan thing. Jordan won three in a row, took two years off.

And came back. I'm only asking for one year, though. Moeum says I need to leave and then play baseball. I don't want that, even though he I'm sure would be a lot better at it than Jordan was. they don't need to do that. I'm just saying just just take a year off. You don't need to play next year. Let somebody else have it. Yeah, I'm I'm super emotionally invested in the three Pete run now just because of the season we've had. Like, I mean, I am ready for us to win it all.

But I think next year I will be able to watch the chiefs and I'm lying now, but, um, I think next year, my goal is to watch the games and not be emotionally invested in them. Just kind of watch them for the entertainment and be like, guys, we got three Superbowls in a row. This all right to, to not kick ass this I will tell you this. Maybe it's an aging thing. I don't know. I have been emotionally invested, but I used to have literal panic attacks during games.

I used to have to take my watch off while I was watching the Chiefs because if I had it on, it would tell me that my heart rate has been way too high for way too long without exercising. It would tell me I was dying more or less. I don't have that problem anymore. was at the game last night screaming my head off. Same thing? Yeah. was at the game last night screaming my head off and my heart rate was at topped out at like 90.

I'm so more calm now about it because we've won two in a row. Nobody can take that away from us. And again, anybody who's trying to with this refs rhetoric bullshit, your opinion isn't going to matter in 10 years. It's not going to matter in five years, probably. It just doesn't. People are going to remember this as the one of the greatest streaks that any team has ever had. Nobody's going to remember that they won close games. Patriots won close games all the time. Nobody's going to remember

that, you know, it was the defense winning the games more than the offense, even with my homes. Nobody's calling Vince will fork the greatest of all time. Calling Tom Brady, the greatest of all time. There that, that is the, that is the show again, if I can just summarize everything again.

Don't fight back against the narrative that the refs are waiting for us. Embrace it. Encourage it. Go out there and tell people. I literally changed my avatar on Reddit. You can change the little guy to having a referee's uniform on. And then like in the NFL subreddit, I have Chiefs flair. So they all know that's, yeah, no, no, it's the refs. Because...

You don't want them to hold their teams accountable. That's the only way they get better. Don't let the players hold themselves accountable. That's the only way they can get better. It's the only way you improve and we can keep dominating the stupid league for years and years. So long as the narrative exists that the refs are throwing the games for us. That's all. All right. Bye.
