00:00Good morning, Tyler. How are you?
00:03Good morning, guys. How you doing?
00:04Well, way right in on, in fact, it was Curtis's lead this morning
00:09on whether you believe that the Chiefs continue to be gifted with calls
00:16and calls that they shouldn't be and no calls that should happen.
00:23Where do you stand on that this morning, Tyler?
00:26You know what?
00:27I don't want to take anything away from those guys because, you know,
00:30they're going to try to do something historic.
00:34But it seems it's getting pretty damn obvious.
00:36You know what I mean?
00:37But I've heard it on our end too.
00:39You know what I mean?
00:39When we were, when we were winning, we were on our road.
00:42People used to say the same thing about Tom Brady and about the Patriots.
00:46So I don't want to take anything away from those guys.
00:48But you know, the flop on the outside, that would get me right there.
00:53I'm like, come on, Pat.
00:54Come on, man.
00:55You ain't had to do all that.
00:58They do seem like, they do like, they seem like they're getting a little bit
01:00of help from the rest, but I don't want to, like I said, it's a tough one
01:03for me, man, because we've heard the same thing, Wiggy.
01:06Come on, man.
01:06Yeah, I know.
01:07But here's my issue with that, Ty, is from the beginning, we all remember
01:13that it was Bill Pullian and Tony Dungy with the Colts who were mad that
01:17you were a little too aggressive with their precious Marvin Harrison.
01:21So they prevented you from touching them.
01:23The NFL was, in real time, in the middle of the start of your dynasty,
01:29trying to make it easier for your biggest rival in the AFC, the Colts,
01:34to beat you.
01:34And Teddy Bruschi, famously, in the divisional round of 0-4, when you
01:39guys beat the Colts before beating the Steelers, said, if you want to
01:43come to Foxboro, it's going to snow.
01:45You want to change the rules, change them.
01:47We still win.
01:48Whereas with the Chiefs, it's as if everything the NFL is doing is to
01:52make it easier for them to keep going when it comes to winning
01:56championships, as opposed to what you guys dealt with.
02:01You know what, Chris?
02:02I agree with you.
02:03I mean, I can't complain.
02:05But at the same time, being a player, you don't want to win like that.
02:10You don't want to have that hanging over your head.
02:12But this is getting ridiculous out there with the refs.
02:15I mean, somebody needs to police the police.
02:18You know what I mean?
02:18Somebody needs to police the referees.
02:20I mean, somebody needs to throw a flag on their ass from up in the
02:24press box, you know what I mean?
02:25Throw a parachute flag with a parachute down there.
02:28I've heard the argument lately that the NFL refs, they ought to be
02:32full-time.
02:33Like, I don't know how you feel about that.
02:35But I mean, it's...
02:36No, I agree with that too.
02:37I mean, if you want...
02:40So much is on the line, you know, and, you know, guys are out there.
02:43And first of all, let's keep it real.
02:46They're billionaires.
02:47You can't pay full-time?
02:49Is this saving a couple dollars?
02:51I mean, as much fines as you're giving everybody every week, use that to
02:54pay the damn refs.
02:55Come on, man.
02:56I mean, why wouldn't they be full-time?
02:58You sitting there telling me I'm a referee for a billion-dollar industry
03:03is my side hustle?
03:05Come on, man.
03:06You know what else, Ty?
03:07And I don't know if they could do it, but I remember Bill wanted to do
03:10this before.
03:11They should have the ability like they do when it comes to, you know,
03:16referees on New York buzzing down and going, all right, that necessarily
03:21wasn't a late hit because it's such a bang-bang play or that wasn't a
03:25rough-and-the-passer.
03:27But they would have to do it almost instantaneously or else you're just
03:30extending the game.
03:32Oh, no.
03:32No, I'm saying like when you think about it, there were two
03:34rough-and-the-passer penalties called in that game against Kansas City.
03:38We've talked about the second one being wildly egregious.
03:41Yeah, the second one was wildly egregious.
03:43The first one was hit or miss, you know.
03:45But to have the ability where the official can buzz down and go after
03:50looking at it, Mahomes flop, no penalty, pick the flag up because they
03:54do it, you know, with a lot of other things we see before they even go
03:58to instant replay or turnovers or things that I never got buzzed down.
04:01It wasn't a fumble.
04:03If they had that capability, maybe to do it on certain, you know, those
04:07type of plays, maybe you could take some of that out of the game.
04:10Ty, when you look at that game in particular for this upcoming weekend,
04:14Chiefs-Bills, what's it like for a team that is trying to make a historic
04:18run and the pressure that is going on behind the scenes, especially when
04:23you're going against a team where it feels like for the Bills, it's now
04:26or never.
04:26They have to win this one.
04:27They have to win this year.
04:30You know what?
04:31It's more pressure on the Bills.
04:32I mean, think about the Bills' history.
04:34I mean, they are the absolute best lose-miss team ever.
04:41They get four in a row.
04:42I mean, they starving for them.
04:44So, you know, this is their opportunity again to get to the Super Bowl and
04:49win it.
04:51There's no pressure really on Kansas City other than making history.
04:53They already, you know, the new dynasty like we were, you know what I mean?
04:58They're the new dynasty.
04:59Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey.
05:02So, they really don't have any pressure other than the pressure that they
05:05put on themselves.
05:06If they come up short, okay, who cares?
05:09They're still the Kansas City Chiefs.
05:11They're still the back-to-back champs.
05:14All the pressure is on Buffalo.
05:15So, Kansas, man, if it was Kansas City, man, we just gonna make it harder.
05:20Man, we feel like we got the refs on our side.
05:22So, that's just the way it goes.
05:24So, all the pressure is out of Orchard Park, New York.
05:28That's where all the pressure is.
05:29So, it's up to those guys to play above themselves just to get past, one, a
05:34great team in Kansas City.
05:36Two, we're fighting against the refs.
05:38So, it'll mean a lot if they can win, if they can pull this off.
05:41They got a guy, Josh Allen, that is putting the team on his back because
05:46remember, he lost his number one target, Stephon Diggs.
05:49Regardless of what you're saying, that was his guy and they still able to get
05:53into this position.
05:55It'll be interesting to see if they can pull it off and they got to go to
05:57Kansas City.
05:58It's going to be an uphill battle.
06:00It's possible.
06:02Ty, I look at it like this.
06:03I don't know how you feel.
06:04I feel like Patrick Mahomes is in the Brady category when it comes to, I'm
06:11not betting against them until I see somebody knock the king off to his
06:14throne and nobody's been able to do that yet.
06:17Do you feel the same way?
06:18Like, when you look at this game, do you feel like, all right, I'm not
06:21betting against Mahomes?
06:25I ain't betting against Mahomes.
06:26Not right now.
06:27I mean, he has the Brady effect.
06:28He finds the ways, he finds ways to win.
06:31He's in his comfort zone in these type of situations.
06:34So, a fool only bet against Patrick Mahomes.
06:39I mean, you don't do that.
06:40You have to go out there and earn it.
06:42You have to go out there and beat him and can the Buffalo Bills do that?
06:46Absolutely.
06:47This is a one game situation.
06:50Anybody can win.
06:51You know, you're going to need a turnover.
06:53You got to have to do something.
06:55You have to have that big explosive play, but I would not put my money
06:59against these guys right now.
07:01I just wouldn't do it.
