Larry Johnson blasts notion that Arrowhead Stadium is a playoff jinx
https://www.kansascity.com/sports/sp...223624380.html

Bless you, Larry.

Quote:
The No Punt Game. The Forward Progress Game. The Lin Elliott Game.

Like episodes in a sad television series, Chiefs fans have named each of the team’s home playoff losses from the last two decades.

Arrowhead Stadium may be the loudest place in the world, but the Chiefs have lost six consecutive playoff games at home. The last win came on Jan. 8, 1994.

That’s why Kyle Brandt of “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network called Arrowhead a joke.

“People are laughing at Arrowhead Stadium right now,” Brandt said. “Barbecue this and tailgate that, every January they show up and lose, and I don’t like it. I want to see them do something about it. I want them to be home, I want them to get the demons out...”

Brandt was talking about how important it was for the Chiefs to get home-field advantage in the playoffs, but he certainly didn’t have good things to say about Arrowhead.

And that didn’t sit well with former Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. He was tagged on a tweet that included the clip of Brandt, and Johnson didn’t mince words in response.

Johnson tweeted: “One has nothing to do with the other. I have never seen LOT D be blamed for losing playoff games. The blame lies within the organization, coaches and players. ARROWHEAD sets the tone! PLAYERS! HAVE TO ANSWER!”

Here is that tweet, which includes Brandt’s comments:




A fan asked Johnson is the fan noise really made a difference for players and he wrote: “’Energy can neither be created or destroyed; energy can only be transferred or changed from one party to another.’ - To answer your question YES.”

Why does Larry Johnson pop up in the news every few months with a Chiefs take?

We now go live to former Chief LB Lew Bush with his take on the Arrowhead crowd.

"IT'S LOUD"

Thanks, Lew. Coming up... Is skateboarding turning your son gay? The new research in tonight may shock you!

I was listening to an interview with Chucky this morning about the 1999 playoff loss to the Raiders where they knocked the Chiefs out of the playoffs. He basically said that the Raiders were down 17 points early and when the Raiders scored to make it 17-7, the crowd got quiet. When they scored again, the crowd got really quiet.

I believe that we make our own luck by being at the right/wrong place at the right/wrong time however, the nervousness of the crowd has to have some effect on the coach and players. The thought of "oh no, here we go again" isn't going to help them concentrate on the task at hand.

The narrative has been that the Chiefs lack of playoff success was because they were playing a team with a superior QB or untimely bad call.

He is 100% wrong blaming the fans and the stadium. I have been at most of the Playoff losses and it is Not on the crowd.

1. It is not the fans fault the Chiefs have trotted out average at best Qb's against HOFers like Manning and Elway. I was also at the last playoff win when we had Montana- and the noise was deafening. Arrowhead is always electric.

2. It is not the fans fault that the Chiefs trot out shitty defenses. We stand up and scream our lungs out every 3rd down only to watch shitty CB's fail to cover or QB's completing passes to themselves.

So this year we have fixed the first issue that caused many playoff losses- let's hope the defense doesn't collapse again in epic fashion. Either way, the Loudest Fans in the NFL will be doing their part, rain, sleet or snow.

I completely agree, the fans really don't do their part in winning the playoff games at all.

I have a question for you. Are you being sarcastic? Or are you just a dumb ass?

Granted, I've never been to a playoff game at Arrowhead (thank God - watching them on TV for the past 20+ years has been painful enough), but I'd wager the crowd isn't nearly as boisterous as it is during a regular season game.
STH since 93. The crowd is great in the playoffs.

Not blaming the crowd, just pointing out that expecting this to not have an effect on the players and coaches is ignoring human nature. The Chiefs failures have always been about the players, coaches and their decisions. I wasn't at the game vs the Chargers however what was it like when the Chiefs committed the penalty on the return, then proceeded to go 3 and out? I know this team is different however I was sitting at home saying "here we go... again".

Mob mentality?

Right... and they had straight ****ing garbage ahead of him too. Priest who... AMIRITE?!?!?!

I, for one, am beyond grateful to Priest Holmes for coming back and adding to his rushing total in KC so that Larry never once claimed the top spot. Larry is a ****ing stain to this franchise. I wish the ****er would comment on Bengals, Skins, or Dolphins football instead.

He, Ray Rice, and Kareem Hunt should open a commune together where they can beat, spit on, and demean all the people they want.

The “Arrowhead advantage” is a myth until we actually start winning there in January.

I know very little about the guy (although, I don't believe he's related to Gil).

What I do know is that he was a soap opera actor before he got a gig bagging groceries (producing) for Jim Rome. That, I believe, is what led him to GMF.

I also know that every single time the Chiefs are mentioned (in any context), he finds something negative to say. He and Schregs have been going at it for awhile. He also does some "guesting" on other pod/vid casts and the same anti-Chiefs mantra can be heard gurgling up out of his pie hole.

Just to be clear, my comment wasn't about the rightness or wrongness of his comments. I'm merely pointing out that this dude is no friend of the historic Chiefs franchise. I should also like to point out that he is part Neanderthal.
