Yup. If anyone came away from that game thinking anything other than "pressure with 4," they missed the point completely. It's a cheat code.

Who also had a sack and multiple pressures. The Chiefs only had 17 snaps by halftime and the game was over. Imagine a team having a run stuffer who can also collapse the pocket? What a nightmare!

It's obviously both. But the key is that the Eagles get pressure with 4 linemen (yes, in two seconds) and they can keep all of their back 7 in coverage and force him to make a throw before he can think or before his receivers get open. We had a great secondary last year. It didn't matter against good QBs because they stood in the pocket for 6 seconds while our defensive line was out to lunch.

The Eagles have a 340 pound monster at DT. That's why they can wreck Mahomes without blitzing and we can't even get within spitting distance if we send the entire front 7.

Holy cow. Half asleep and half buzzed. No wonder you can't remember anything.

If Kincaid made that catch they'd just call us for holding on the next play.

Those are called dreams, old fan. They happen when you fall asleep after the first drive.

But they didn't have a shot. That's the point. They did it, and it was just taken away. If they had done it again, it would have been taken away again.

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Way too much time and effort for a predetermined outcome.

Spotting "issues" like turning a game winning drive into a turnover on downs? Just small things like that?

Sorry, old fan, you must have fallen asleep. Just trust those of us that actually watched the game.

The first drive he had two bad throws that could have been picked. After that he was pretty much lights out. I think you're counting one against him where he knew he had a free play on a holding call.

There were a lot of plays where they spotted us about three steps too short.

Because we're clearly better than the Chiefs. We were not clearly better than the Ravens. Unfortunately for all of us, no one is better than the referees.

He threw a perfect 20 yard pass to Kincaid with 2 rushers in his face within 1 second of the snap. He also got blasted after the throw, which the refs threw a flag on and then picked up because he's not Mahomes.

My only problem with McDermott is that he hasn't figured out how to work the officials. Belichick had the NFL in his pocket, now Reid has the NFL in his pocket. There are politics involved that McDermott is oblivious to. He thinks he's playing a fair game. Although, it might be well above his pay grade for such a thing.

Officiating. It's really that simple, folks.

Yeah, but one of those things is part of football. The other is just cheating.

Chiefs were overloading the left guard on QB sneaks because they did their homework. We kept running it to that side because we're stupid. Still fixed.

If this isn't the best explanation for the effect of officiating, I don't know what is.

Or, you know, someone that realizes when they're being swindled.

Because it's all fixed for the Chiefs and it literally wouldn't matter if they challenged it. Enjoy your sham dynasty, cheater.

All of their mistakes are mitigated by officiating.

Going for 2 made sense in both situations. Those were both bad play calls and bad execution. None of it mattered anyway. You literally can not beat the guys who make up the rules.

Interception for the Bills became a Chiefs' 30 yard completion. Phantom PI against Elam prevented a Chiefs' punt. Successful 4th down QB sneak in the 4th quarter inexplicably became the Chiefs' ball. Penalty flag against the Chiefs on the Bills' last play was picked up with no explanation. This isn't rocket science. Refs know exactly when and where to have the biggest impact while making things seem close. It's all fixed.
