On The Kansas City Chiefs And Greatness

 When it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs I get very annoyed. And why do I get annoyed? It's because of the constant bitching and moaning about them. Like it's absolutely insane to me that we are in the midst of a great team run and people are bitching and moaning and yelling "oh I'm boycotting the Super Bowl" I immediately get in a bad mood. And before people try to say I'm a Chiefs fan, I am a Bears fan who can admit when he sees some hateration in this dancerie. And I am okay with a little hating, I have hated the Packers my whole damn life, doesn't mean they are cheating. They've just been better. It is what it is. On to what grinds my gears!

*The Refs Cheat For The Chiefs.

Look I get it, calls always seem to break their way but when you look at the numbers it just doesn't match up. Since Mahomes became the starter for the Chiefs, they have actually been penalized more than their opponents in the regular season and a total of 21 times less than their opponents in the playoffs for an average of 3 fewer calls than their opponents per playoff run. 

You may not like it, but that  there is a defensive holding.

Since 2018 they have been called for 43 more pass interference penalties. I know what you're gonna say, "they just wait till the game is on the line to make a bad call." Ok, why would they wait? If their is a massive conspiracy then why wait and put more scrutiny on themselves? In a league where quarterbacks are coddled, anyone is going to get hit with a roughing penalty (looking at you Joseph Ossai). Per a report by the Ringer: "Mahomes ranks below Josh Allen, Jared Goff, and Kirk Cousins in career roughing penalties, roughing penalties per game, and roughing penalties per 100 passing attempts. Mahomes is fourth in the sample size in roughing penalties per sack, but he’s wedged between Goff and Jimmy Garoppolo, hardly indicating he’s getting particularly special treatment."

*Poor Josh Allen

Before I start let me say that I am a huge fan of Josh Allen. My problem when it comes to him is not even Josh Allen, it's the people defending him. The person most honest about Josh Allen is usually the man himself. That being said the lengths people will leap to defend his playoff shortcomings is astounding. 

People so badly want Josh to get over the hump has them overlooking that the very same thing that they accuse the Chiefs of is happening for Buffalo. And it still isn't enough. The NFL changed overtime rules because Josh couldn't beat them in the playoffs. The last 2 times in the playoffs, he has had the ball in his hands with the game on the line and he has not been the reason the Bills won. I guess it's easier to blame the Chiefs and create a conspiracy when it could be that Josh Allen is Patrick Ewing to Mahomes Jordan. 

*This is All The Bills Fault Anyway

Now before I get out of here, I will say that none of this happens without the Bills trading the pick to the Chiefs that would become the possible greatest quarterback of all time. That's right, the biggest blunder of that draft wasn't the Bears passing on Mahomes, it was the Bills giving that player to a great play caller like Andy Reid. 

And then to make it worse, just last year they traded the pick that became Xavier Worthy to the Chiefs. Yeah, Xavier Worthy who ran the fastest 40 time in combine history. There's making shrewd moves and then there is giving the roadblock in front of you more ammunition to stop you. If I'm running the Bills if the Chiefs call me I am blocking the number.

Well that's all I have for now perhaps I will give my predictions on who will win the Super Bowl a little later this week.
