Ten Things About Today's Game: Divisional Playoffs, KC 31 Indy 13

Ten Things About Today’s Game: Divisional Playoff, KC 31 Indy 13

10. It’s after 10pm and yes, I have been drinking. A lot. I got to Arrowhead around Noon, and finally walked in my front door here in Glorious Independence, MO around 8:30 to peel out of my damp winter survival gear. When I got into my robe and jammies, I had a sammich and started watching the game broadcast. I would just like to sincerely say, **** Mike Tirico, **** Tony Dungy, and especially **** RODNEY HARRISON, who all picked against the Chiefs in the pre-game show. Rodney Harrison was one of the dirtiest players ever, and Dungy wouldn’t have had a coaching career without Marty. So screw all those guys. Excuse me while I crack open another Boulevard Wheat.

9. For those of you outside of KC, I don’t think the game broadcast really showed the significance of the snow. The field had been covered up to a couple hours before kickoff. Outside Arrowhead, we had about nine inches of snow. It was a wet sloppy snow, kind of like lake effect snow. It shovels like wet cement. It snowed all morning and all afternoon, and spit more snow during the game. The fans were rabid and ready for a fight. They were loud and crazy all day long. I was late getting to the stadium because I couldn’t find my parking pass. I never did find it, and had to waste an hour setting up a ticketmaster account for Mrs. B, and transferring the parking pass to her phone. Why the Chiefs won’t just let you print out a goddamn ticket just makes me mad. Anyway, we finally got it figured out, and got in the gate with no issues. They parked me in Olathe although I was there three and a half hours before kickoff. I took a few pictures today which I’ll post later. It was a healthy trudge to the stadium.

8. Over the course of the year I get a lot of guff from the CP trolls about “All you do is read the stat sheet and don’t really add anything.” Well, I sat in the frickin snow and cold with Mrs B today, and I met Rain Main in person. So guys like Prison Bitch can suck it. I’ll make a few general comments on the game itself, but this win is so big, so historic, that it really doesn’t matter how we managed to do it. We just did it. The monkey on our backs has been spanked. Some Native Americans were out on the field before kickoff blessing the field. Will Shields was on drum duty. I promised my friend Gary I would fart on third down to help with crowd noise. Mission Accomplished.

7. For as bad as the defense has been this year, I guess if you’re going to show up and play your signature game of the year, this was a good week to pick for that. Colts had NO FIRST DOWNS for most of the first half, and scored their only first half TD without gaining a first down. The punt block was due to a high snap by Winchester. Just one of those things. A bad special teams play by the Colts near the end iced the game for KC, and we’ll get to that. Who was big today? Everybody on the front defensive wall: Bailey, Nnadi, Chris Jones all were a handful. Edge rush from Ford was good all day, and he played the run much better. Houston had a monster sack and a fumble recovery. He earned his paycheck. Luck officially had no picks, but should have had two: Nelson dropped one that would have been a pick six in the second half, and Murray dropped one that fell right in his lap near the sideline. Luck got sacked three times, and he had only been sacked 18 times in 17 games prior. So that’s bringing some great heat. Plus he had multiple passes batted down. And KC had only one defensive holding penalty on the secondary during garbage time at the very end. All in all a stellar game for the defense. They won the day. Time to crack open another beer.

6. Adam Vinatieri must have contracted Elliot’s Disease. He missed a 23 yard field goal and puked a PAT. Not bad for a guy the national wanks call “the greatest kicker ever.” I think he and Seabass ought to just meet up on a golf course somewhere in Florida and call it a career. Buttkicker was money. Thank God this time we forced Seven Dirty Sanchez punts (versus the dreaded no punt game) and although Colquitt had one blocked, he also did a nice job selling the running into the kicker near the end of the fourth quarter to sustain KC’s final scoring drive. Well done, and helped seal the deal.

5. Special kudos to Damien Williams, who did a pretty impressive impersonation of Kareem Hunt today, without kicking any drunken party chicks. He rushed for 123 yards and a TD. That’s January rushing production. The line gets some love for converting three out of four fourth down attempts, blowing the Colts front wall right off the ball. Fisher had a couple of rough penalties, as did Irving. Mahomes got sacked four times, but he attempted over 40 passes. So some sacks are going to happen when you throw that much.

4. Today was the first time in NFL playoff history that a team had a wide receiver, running back and QB score TDs on running plays. So, although Mahomes didn’t throw for a TD, his three main guys had big days. Hill rushed for a TD and caught 72 yards on what looks to be a still tender ankle. Kelce ate the Colts alive in the middle with 108 yards, and Sammy Watkins return was productive with 62 yards. His second half fumble could have been a momentum changer, but Ford tomahawked the ball from Luck two plays later, Houston fell on it to get it back for Mahomes.

3. Final game stuff to consider: Indy was ZERO for NINE on third down. That’s championship defense. KC held Luck’s offense to 263 total yards and only one offensive TD. Colts had nine penalties, with a bunch of those being defensive guys jumping offsides on Mahomes hard count. You'd think it would be their O-line jumping off, but it was mostly D-line offsides.

2. It was 24-7 at the half. When KC came out and failed to move the ball in the third quarter, I was having ugly flashbacks of last year when Alex Smiff’s anemic offense got shut out the entire second half by the Tits. But this year, both teams were scoreless in the third quarter. And when Luck managed to hit one to TY Hilton (or KY Jelly as I like to call him), we got the ball right back, and rammed it right down their throats. Biggest stat in this game was time of possession. KC was double Indy, 40 mins to 20 mins.

1. I couldn’t help but cry when we won. I don’t usually yell a lot anymore at Arrowhead. I’m old, and I yelled at Stabler, and Fouts, and Elway, and Marino, and Five Head, and Flacco, and others and other and others. I don't have the voice for it anymore. Today in the second half I yelled like when I was 20. And when they actually won a home playoff game for the first time in 25 years I cried. I kissed Mrs. B, and thought about my dad who passed in 2011 a week after we lost to the Ravens with Casshole as our QB. I thought about my friend Derrek who killed himself in March the spring after we lost the debacle to Pittsburgh three years ago. I thought about all the great Chiefs fans in this city and elsewhere, who had endured six straight crushing home playoff losses. The last playoff win was 25 years ago with Joe Montana. And he had to do it in OT. This game was a blowout. It was just what the doc ordered. I don’t want to think much about what happens next weekend, and who we play. I just hope the Pats and Bolts beat the crap out of each other tomorrow, then come what may, we’ll deal with it. Congratulations to all of us on the CP on this wonderful snowy Saturday in KC. It was indeed our finest hour in a long, long, long time.

I almost cried at the end, too. Watched the game with my 22 year old son who wasn’t even conceived yet when I went to the first playoff game we lost at home after the 95 season. I also went to the games we won in 91 and 93 after camping out all night at Arrowhead for tickets each time. All week I stayed off CP and avoided watching or discussing football as much as I could since last Saturday. On the drive home I listened to the last two minutes of the home broadcast on Sirius and started yelling and screaming and honking the horn when the game ended. I will definitely lose it if we win next week.

**** Carl. It's time to get over him too.

I hate the man personally and professionally. Him and Earsey should share rehab facilities.

If I never hear Peterson's name again I will be a happier man. Clark made me a happy camper by firing him and Herm after 2 dismal years (6 victories?) under his rule.

My emotions, especially right after, were rooted in "Why did we wait 33 years to try drafting a QB in the 1st"?? Carl led us down the path with a bunch of retreads. Pioli went that route also. But those are two ghosts of failures past also.

FINALLY, they took a chance and PM II had a good QB to watch and learn from. But this win is all about his juice. The guy is fearless even in tough conditions.

I said it just after Christmas and I'll say it again today:

Ticket purchased.

I’ll say it again in this thread:



The bell tolls for our next opponent.

If KC wins the Super Bowl every buffet in KC should be free in honor of Andy and the mac and cheese should have Mahomes face portrayed in baked on Ketchup.

Applebee's, all you can eat ribs tips, shrimp, and tenders along $1 beers on game days isn't great but it blows BWW's ass away. Hard to beat for $15 before tip.

I'm part of a group of guys from my church who get together and have a "Guy's Night" once a week.....we watch movies, college and pro football, or sometimes just sit around and chat about life in general. At times we do volunteer projects when we hear about them....

One of the guys in the group is a diehard Colts fan and he has been chiding me since last Sunday. Reminded me of our horrible defense, our known playoff collapses, and how Luck was going to eat us alive. Said the Colts defense was going to show the NFL how to stop Mahomes.....

I haven't seen a text from him since the score went to 14-0....

I was doing fine after the game....all excited (and anticipating your column). I went to say something to my wife and passed by the picture of my dad in the hallway.

My dad is the man who taught me all about baseball and football and stoked my love of the game. We bonded over sports, even in the years (teens and twenties) I was a bit of a rebel. I didn't make it to say anything to my wife...I walked back into my study and sat and cried....for the win and for my dad.

Great read as always George...

Carl would be perfect "Filler" for the 6 foot hole we bury the "Playoff jinx" in next weekend. One of the best things CHunt ever did. Burying all memories of Peterson, (like an ex who thought "oral was beneath her"), removing his name from the Chief's record books seems reasonable to me.

That's a beautiful reply. Sure understand. I don't usually share real personal stuff on the CP, but I'm just so filled with joy today I wanted to share a couple pictures. The one below is The Lovely Mrs. B and two of my best friends in the world: Derrek in the middle, and Gary on the right. This is tailgating before a game at Arrowhead in 2002. Derrek and Gary and I were through all the Chiefs battles in the 1970s up till 2016 when we lost Derrek. I wish he could have been here today so I could call him and celebrate this day.


This is a picture of my parents. This is in Hot Spring, Arkansas, drawing spring water for me to bring back to KC. It was something I did every Chrismas from around 1990 to when my dad passed in 2011. He died a week after our playoff loss to the Ravens, and at the time I thought of how tragic it was that in his 80 year of life he only saw the Chiefs win one Super Bowl. My mom just passed last May. In this picture from 2003, dad is wearing one of his many Chiefs caps -he probably had a dozen of them- and my mom is wearing her Chiefs sweatshirt. Both of their names are on a brick underneath the Lamar Hunt Statue in the Founders Plaza. I felt like they were with me yesterday.

I think my face was too frozen to cry at the game, but this paragraph finally got my eyes watery. Sober even.

I have been at that exact spot many times...and my wife at Bathhouse Row in the background.

I don't know how to respond to relating the deaths of friends and family with playoff losses, but to each his own. I am glad you shared how the Chief's were part of your family. I hope Mom, Dad, and Derrek have shit eating grins on their faces looking down as Mahomes takes us to a Super Bowl for the first time in almost 50 years.

I am the only die hard fan in my family The rest don't care if we win or lose nor would they drop $$$$ to do a home game right. A Super Bowl is a social event....

He died a week after our playoff loss to the Ravens, and at the time I thought of how tragic it was that in his 80 year of life he only saw the Chiefs win one Super Bowl. My mom just passed last May. In this picture from 2003, dad is wearing one of his many Chiefs caps -he probably had a dozen of them- and my mom is wearing her Chiefs sweatshirt. Both of their names are on a brick underneath the Lamar Hunt Statue in the Founders Plaza. I felt like they were with me yesterday.
