Chiefs Ten Things About Last Night’s Game: Week 14 Kansas City 23, Cheatriots 16 - Page 5

10. I’m gonna have to give you the speed metal version of the Top Ten this morning. I’m writing this from the 20th floor of a hotel room overlooking a foggy, whiny city of Boston. Mrs. B and I were amazingly fortunate and were able to take a last minute vacation three day weekend in Boston, and got to go to the game. So I was there. When I get back to Glorious Independnece, MO tonight to the Stately Wayne Minor Batcave, I’ll be able to post more details about everything. For now I’ll just give you some quick impressions and thoughts. For my first impression, here’s one of the Patriot fans sitting near us: “Ehhhh F*uck Paaatrick Maaahomes. He’s a poseur.
Braaaaaaady.....Braaaady.....(repeat until speechless after losing).

9. Gillette Stadium makes me appreciate Arrowhead. It’s out in the middle of freakin’ nowhere, traffic in is a bitch and the stadium sits next to like a mall with a movie theater and the Cheating Hall of Fame. The security is super lax compared to Arrowhead. They didn’t check us over hardly at all. The lower bowl looks like a college stadium, like Faurot Field at Mizzou, where you walk under the bleachers for the concessions and bathrooms. It was dingy and not nearly as nice as our crib. The upper deck is incredibly steep and high up and I’m sure on a cold and windy day it's murder up there. We were sitting low, so the wind wasn’t that big of a deal. I’ll post some pictures later.

8. I was listening to the local Pats radio broadcast in my little pocket radio during the game. No Mitch and TOUCHDOWN....KANSAS CITY. The Pats color guy (Scott Zolak: https://985thesportshub.com/patriots...cast-team/)was an obnoxious asshole. In the second quarter he started bagging on The White Hat Jerome Boger about his poor officiating. This is way before the controversial calls in the fourth quarter. He said Boger had it out for the Pats, and should fear for his safety if he didn’t straighten up. He was bagging on their first round pick receiver Harry -Where’s 15? Is he on a milk carton somewhere? Then he started in on everyone but Brady -Where’s Edelman? Where’s Michele? Is Tom the only guy who decided to play today? Then I thought he was going to stroke out in the fourth quarter. But that’s another story.

7. Gillette Stadium has artificial turf. The front row to the field is much farther away than at Arrowhead. They have like a baseball warning track that goes around. I was in the 3rd row behind the Chiefs bench, and was probably 30 yards away from the bench. Oh, the Pats cheerleaders had a couple of flamboyant guys who dressed just like the chicks. NTTAWWT..... It was interesting that the Chiefs set up their sideline exactly like Arrowhead, and the players sat in their same positions as they would on the Arrowhead benches.

6. I’m still not sure how PMII hurt his hand, and haven’t seen any news about how bad the injury may be. Midnight Hour got up and warmed up a little, but Pat never came out. The Boston radio guy kept saying “Yeah, we’re slapping Mahomes around pretty good out there. He’s gonna be all worn out by the fourth quaaaater.” He don’t know us very well....do he? Pat is tough as Hell and is a gamer.

5. Yes, the Pats got screwed on a couple calls. Refs had a pretty bad day. That hit that Hightower put on Patrick going out of bounds...If that’s Brady the defender gets ejected. And it’s just crybaby shit to say the refs cost you a game when the Chiefs had 115 more yards in penalties than the Pats. Who got the greater amount of help from the refs? Numbers don’t lie.

4. Buttkicker was money again this week. Kicking conditions were decent, there wasn’t a lot of wind, but it was cold. Not as cold as last week against the Raiders, but cold. I’m not sure what happened on the blocked punt, haven’t seen the replay on that, but looked like a dude came right up the middle. Must have been a blown assignment.

3. The Kelce fumble was a head scratcher. He caught the ball, then doubled back for some reason -losing the first down yardage- then got the ball poked out on the way down. He should have just taken the first down then fell down. Hopefully he’ll learn a lesson from this. Kelce used to be fumble prone in past years, hope this doesn’t come back to bite him down the stretch.

2. The fans here have such a sense of entitlement. They just couldn’t process the loss, and how they lost. Yeah, they got some bad calls, but they had the ball with a chance to tie or win in the last minute and couldn’t get it done. Hell, we got screwed in the Tennessee Playoff Game when Derrick Johnson strip sacked Mariota and it got overturned. That call cost us a playoff game. So cry me a river, Pats fans. If you’re at home and complain about the refs, that’s just a crying shame. Suck it up. This is just a regular season game. Seems like when they’re not playing AFC East cupcakes, they have a hard time competing.

1. So I believe this win clinched the AFC west. This win was very satisfying, but we still owe them a boot out of the playoffs and a denial of a trip to the Super Bowl. Then we’ll be even. I’ll post more when I get home. Gotta go catch a plane in a couple hours.

And he squirmed around the whole way like a four year old, and he had a cold and kept barking like a seal and didn't cover his mouth when he coughed. Total f'ing douche.

Anyway...what was the crowd like? We had 3rd row seats behind the Chiefs bench at about the 45 yard line. There was a huge dude sitting a couple rows behind us that got there early. He was wearing Pats gear, but he was originally from KC and went to Ft. Osage HS. My wife taught in Ft. Osage schools, but not high school. He lives out there now and his two favorite teams are the Pats and Chiefs. I had two Chiefs fans from Boston seated next to my left -transplants for work, moved from KC to New England. Behind us were some drunken Pats douche bags, who kept screaming ****IN KILL MAHOMES and other filthy stuff well within earshot of kids and such. Security was basically non-existent, because the benches are around 15 yards from the fans. Their total security set up was pitiful compared to Arrowhead. If you stand up and yell F-YOU at Arrowhead, you'll be escorted out and may lose your season tickets for that kind of conduct. They booed their team off the field at halftime. In the final two minutes they were chanting BRAAAADY like they were calling for the Messiah. When he failed to deliver, they all started blaming everything but Brady, mostly the refs. They didn't process being on the negative end of a bad call, because they rarely are. It was like they didn't give any credit to the Chiefs for playing them tough; it was the refs gifted the game to KC. Many pissed off fans leaving their toilet bowl stadium to fight each other to get on I-95. Took about an hour and a half to get from Foxboro back to Downtown Boston, and our driver was a New England lifer who knew all the short cuts. Total cluster F getting out of the stadium. Attached pic of Mrs B and Me right after the game.

Love reading your 10 things great job glad you and the Mrs. had a good time. Go Chiefs Damn It!!!!!!
