peterpan Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 They showed the replay a few times . I didn’t see any holding at all. Are there other angles you guys saw that show it? Otherwise idk how anyone could say it was a clear penalty. I’m not biased against the chiefs either. I was rooting for them to win just slightly. But I agree with the OP that the NFL isn’t what it used to be. I had forgotten the SB was even coming up. And I spent a lot of the game reading news articles on my phone because it wasn’t holding my attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I’m flashing back to last year when the refs didn’t call Diggs being molested in the endzone by a Tampa defender near the end of the game that would have probably gave the Bills a win. And THAT was a penalty for sure. The one yesterday was a flat out joke and decided a championship. 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Love that this happens when the NFL is scripted meme hits its peak. The refs tainted their own script. Chiefs probably win anyway without the extra help but they couldn't just leave it to chance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't tune in for theatrics, politics, or the type of pop music that litters this "spectacle." And then, we finally get to the true reason that those who are their loyal, week-in and week-out customers tune in, and then they have systems in place which allow for 1 of 7 underpaid, part-time officials to ruin our primary focus. They take the game and turn it into a mockery. All of this thrown together, and it gives me the feeling I have better ways to waste my Sunday afternoons. Goodell & the NFL are ruining something I've loved since childhood. And I even wanted (ever so slightly) for the Chiefs to win. Puppy bowl was looping on animal planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does a team fall that flat? then of course the TERRIBLE AND TIMELY flag thrown on something that happens every play… It was a 10 point game at half (missed KC FG) and yes Eagles controlled TOP, but a terrible fumble TD by Hurts really was actually part of the reason KC was flat as they were on the sidelines for so long. They punted once the first half and then the Eagles had the Ball for almost 11 minutes and then KC forced it near the half and ran only 5 plays. They just weren't on the field. Eagles punted once the second half. The difference was that KC got in a rhythm the second half. Eagles were not that flat, just things evened out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did hold a tiny bit it wouldn't have made a difference because the ball was already in the air and it was a bad throw that nobody was going to catch. The ref needs to understand the situation and take into account whether it was a catchable ball. Game shouldn't have ended like that holding is before the hall is in the air and therefor not a catchability call 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate complaining about officiating, but they make it way too obvious. I would hate if Bif won in that fashion.

If that was a Bills receiver and it wasn't called, this place would have gone nuts. If it was still ruined for you then you probably should stop watching I can’t think of another sport where officiating plays a larger role. There were several catch plays that were confirmed or over ruled with review. DPI and holding prolly requires the most judgement and can’t be reviewed. I don’t think it should be. Could you imagine it they were. That game would still be going. Questionable calls have been and will be part of the game. However, that flag should’ve been picked up because the ball was uncatchable. Edited February 13, 2023 by Ga boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is holding on offense and defense on most every play, it's subjective and that one was pretty weak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Sanders caught the ball and had it long enough. That should have been a fumble. The catch rules are dumb 2 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The NFL disappointed me with the crap field conditions. I don't know if it was the sod they grew or the painted logos, but somebody screwed that field up.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
