What do you make of the officiating yesterday?
I think refs aren’t perfect and a few iffy calls went KC’s way. I’ve seen a lot of iffy calls go the other way over the years, but no one ever seems to mention those for some reason.
I’ve mentioned this before, but Mahomes has far more TDs erased by penalty than any other QB since he’s been in the league. KC was the only team to have a TD negated by penalty last postseason and it happened twice. KC’s been among the most-penalized teams in the league in the Mahomes era, and they’re nearly always near the top in the most critical penalties (offensive holding, DPI, etc). And an ESPN writer found that the team with the most late/close-game flags this year was KC.
The facts don’t support the conspiracy theory. Every team gets iffy calls/no-calls. Every one.
If people think the league is literally scripted…..why even watch? I sure as hell won’t watch WWE.

When?
Please provide examples
Just looking at the last two regular season matchups, there was an offensive hold on KC’s last possession. Before that, a PI that gave the Bills a new set of downs on a 3rd down play. Offensive holding that killed KC’s previous drive.
And of course, the extremely rare offensive offside call that just happened to erase a potential game-winning play.
Just a few off the top of my head. What are the late/important calls that have gone against the Bills vs KC?

Are you still trying to pretend that the Chiefs don't get favorable officiating?
So why is it that the Bills seem to get the late/important calls vs KC?

This is the only reason I get nervous about playing them. We've seen the movie 1k times. Why would that script change for Buffalo? We don't have the Face of the NFL on our team or the celeb girlfriend (well ok kinda do) or the Tom Brady records to beat. It's all
laid out for KC. I'm. It sure I whole heartedly believe everything I just said but it sure as hell feels Like it's the way it is.
I can remember some crucial calls that went Buffalo’s way vs KC, but what are examples of the opposite?-

The rumors of Mahomes' demise were greatly exaggerated...

No. I'm referring specifically to the playoffs as "this time of year" clearly infers. Rice was out all season and they pivoted to Hopkins I'd say that's a wash at worse.
Wash at worst? Rice was on pace for 1600 yds, and he’s much more explosive.
But I do think Hopkins is going to have a big role in the postseason.

I feel the exact same way. The Raven players/coaches just seem so overconfident, all the 'disrespect' doesn't even need to be manufactured - it's all been put out there on a (very full) platter for the players to feast on, the weather being the same as the Patriot Perfect Game (all I can picture is Lamar huddled on the bench in his ski mask and parka thinking "why am I here"). It's like the perfect storm for a glorified, favored, overconfident team to come into an opposing hostile environment against a super motivated focused team and get their a$$ whooped then wonder "what the hell just happened?!"
What makes you think they’re overconfident? I’m genuinely curious. I haven’t followed what they’ve said. -

Curious to hear from our resident Chiefs fans - would you prefer to play Buffalo or Baltimore in the AFCCG?
Tough call.I think Baltimore’s actually underrated by many. They might be playing better than anyone in the league recently, and their defense has really turned it around. They look like a complete team.
On the other hand, Flowers is banged up, and KC generally contains Lamar well. They’ve owned Baltimore in general.
In the playoffs, it often comes down to QB play, and Allen’s been the better postseason QB. So I’d probably rather draw Baltimore.

I think it could go either way.
No doubt Lamar would trade all MVPs for one SB MVP.

Was being respectful.
I don’t know why it’s shameful to be compared to PR.
The Brady Manning of the past is now the Mahomes Lamar ordeal.
Thats all
Lol. Lamar needs to do something in the playoffs to earn that comparison. -

Baltimore is not beating the bills in Buffalo.
The league gets what it wants. And it wants mahomes vs Allen in the afc championship.
I definitely wouldn't say the league always gets what it wants.

@Successis spot on! I have extended family and multiple friends who are die hard Chefs fans, and it’s almost so bad with their sensitivity and yet simultaneous condescension, that we can’t talk football unless it’s confined to discussing say, the craptastic show that is Aaron/Jets…the rest of my family are Steelers fans so let’s just say it’s been a hoot growing up as the only Bills fan amongst all that…anecdotal evidence I know, but it’s all led me to hating the Chiefs more now than the Pats of yesteryear, and that’s saying something, lol 😆.
I could say similar things about many Bills fans. A large portion of the online fanbase talks about a 15-1 team like they're nothing. I've seen numerous posters say they're not even worried about KC. Allen is clearly superior to Mahomes and "everybody knows it," Bills would've beaten KC easily last year if not for injuries, etc etc. Many predicted a 20+ point win before the divisional game. Can't imagine what those people would be saying if the roles were reversed and it was the Bills with 6 straight AFCC appearances and 3 SB wins.
That said, I think it's silly to generalize a large group of people based on a few loud voices.

If KC wins they deserve all the glory and adoration, awards etc. they already do being back to back champions
It's again silly that a 15-1 team got basically no accolade recognition. Especially coming off back to back championships and the best record ever for a back to back champion
Trent McDuffie is the best CB in football and no pro bowl
It's kinda unbelievable honestly
Allen and burrow are really the only QBs who can actually match mahomes, obviously burrow is probably out so that's how I see it.
KC if given truth serum is hoping buffalo gets knocked out before the AFC championship imo. Everyone knows Allen is a playoff 😈 demon
Honestly, I don't know who I'd want to emerge from a potential Buffalo-Baltimore matchup. I think Baltimore's better than a lot of people give them credit for. They seem really balanced right now. They'll be a problem for anybody. That said, Lamar never seems to get it done in the playoffs.

I'd say Buffalo's skill players are definitely better overall. Remember that MVS was cut from this Bills team after doing zilch. Their tackles are better too.
I don't think the '22 Chiefs roster was that skilled. Kelce had a great year, but the rest of the skill players were mediocre. And the defense was average at best because it was very green and inexperienced.
I think Bienemy had an underrated impact. The offense immediately took a step back when he was replaced by Nagy.

I'd be worried about Chiefs fans if they beat us again & then go on to 3-peat. They're already at levels of arrogance so cartoonish that they make Brady-era Patriots fans look like the model of humility.
We need to win just to keep our friends in KC from slipping further from reality.
Based on what? Do you even know anyone from KC?

Buffalo 🦬 is the best team and then there is a good gap.
KC is 2.
A good gap?So what’s your prediction for Baltimore vs Bills? Assuming they both move on.

Was there one throw that really impressed you today? 40 percent of their passing yards came on man beaters to the backs on swing routes. It was way more Andy than Mahomes today
Houston is a good defence, but they were down about 3-4 key starters
They might be down a few but they’ve still had elite numbers, and they were getting a lot of pressure in this game. Which Wentz wouldn’t have handled nearly as well. He definitely wouldn’t have been able to replicate the scrambles or the rushing TD.
Don’t forget that Allen went 9-30 for 131 vs Houston. Yet you think Wentz could carve them up?

Mahomes didn't win that game for them. His few scrambles weren't significant enough to make the win.
If they’d needed a score on the last drive, they’d have scored 30+ vs one of the top defenses. In only 9 drives. Wentz wasn’t matching that. Especially with the pressure he was facing. -

For as much as is said about making fun of Buffalo and our losses at least people know Buffalo is in NY and there's no mistaking it's near Canada.
As for the Kansas City Chiefs, I'd bet most people don't realize they're not in Kansas. Most probably have no idea where they are...
Many don’t know the geography or where the stadium’s located, that’s for sure. -

This is exactly right. Never thought KC would lose this home game- even if they had rested Mahomes ( high ankle sprain my arse..) and started Wentz.
Wentz wasn’t winning this. It took a solid effort from Mahomes and two turnovers to win. Stroud’s good.-

Why? They carved up one of the best defenses in the league. -

Will be absolutely stunned if the Chiefs lose today with the way the refs are calling the game.
You mean calling weak holds on KC and ignoring blatant holding on Houston scores?

Totally disagree on the Toney thing. That play led to numerous viral screenshots of players around the league doing the same with no call. It happens all the time. Toney himself had been lining up the same way all game and they chose to only call that one. First offense offside of Reid’s 30ish year career.
Every time Mahomes sees a flag for Offside, he treats it as a free play and throws it up for grabs. Do people think the refs are psychic and throw the flag knowing an INT is coming?
Chris Jones is held constantly and it’s rarely called. Taylor’s been targeted relentlessly since he joined KC. Far more so than in Jax. Which is a great example of how biased perceptions influence these narratives. Nobody talked about Taylor’s habits whatsoever until he joined the Chiefs. Somehow, a player getting targeted immediately after joining a new team became evidence that said team was favored by officials.
KC was absolutely hosed by officiating in two huge games (2020 SB and 2018 AFCC). Both of which ruined otherwise amazing seasons. So I don’t think KC fans need to feel guilty if a few iffy calls go their way, especially against a Texans team they’d have beaten anyway.
