I thought the nfl would be fun after Brady left. Now I’m back to hating another team in the chiefs. Patricia is now the new Brady and getting ALL the calls Tom got. Parity my a ss.

The flag came out after the pick. Someone posted the video up thread. The ref even hesitate for a moment and did like a pump fake with the flag before throwing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn’t about low odds in that situation, it’s about removing the odds completely and guaranteeing your team wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 They made sure the game was close for 4th quarter ratings. Then they made sure Kelce won so there can be more Swift ads in the future. Now Swift can keep promoting her concert movie and Capital One ads and Kelce can promote his stuff and continue becoming a household name. I don’t think every game is rigged, but I think there are a few games every year that are “nudged” in whatever direction the NFL and its corporate sponsors would like. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like early last season. There’s a lot of football left and the Chiefs won’t play like this when facing better teams. Bills look real good though. Let’s up they keep it up all season.

dgrochester55 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) If Mahomes and Brady before him are really the GOATS, why do they need the refs giving them breaks on every game? Let them earn it. I am not a Jets fan by any means, but they were robbed of a chance to come back.

Gardner was all over him with both hands. He's allowed to have contact at that depth as long as he's not yanking on him. His hands are open enough that you can actually see his fingers. When you consider the man under coverage and the down/distance, it is a very strange place to throw a borderline flag where he couldn't even really see the engagement from his angle. Combine it with the egregious holding a couple plays earlier and that's two calls in the last 5 minutes of a tight game that altered possession. It's a really, really bad look. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I really want the 1 seed this year. I know that's not some big revelation - but let's see how this KC team does if they have to play in Buffalo. FOR ONCE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes made the correct, heads up play. Some people are acting like he dreamed it up on the spot at the end of the play - the offense was obviously told to do so by the coaches which is the right thing to do in that situation- just what Bills coaches would tell the Bills O to do and Josh would have done the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardner was all over him with both hands. It was fairly obvious, but the issue is the refs literally let more egregious D holding penalties go all night. Then again, refs will usually call a penalty they’ve not been calling all night if the penalty actually contributes to the outcome of the play, like holding penalties that actually make it possible for a run to be successful for example. Perhaps in this case they felt the KC receiver would have had an opportunity to make a play on the ball otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goin Breakdown Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 42 minutes ago, Goin Breakdown said: Refs are selling this game. Giving it to the chiefs. This is so freekin blatant right now. Now that Ive stepped away from the game and look back at what I said here. I'd like to retract a bit. Perhaps "giving them the game" isn't correct. Perhaps blatant isn't the right word either. I will say that I think there are some refs and perhaps a narrative that the NFL likes for specific teams and players. Whether they admit it or not. I have no proof (of course) I just can't see how they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 One doesn't have to believe in conspiracies to know that the good teams get the calls and the bad teams don't. Things occasionally break the other way because of human unpredictability, but the Chefs are not the first good team to get the calls when they need them. They also won't be the last. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows?....I know the NFL for years has steared games in certain directions. It was evident during the Brady era. They'll always be enough fans who choose to ignore obvious favoritism for entertainment. I just hope some level of "fair & equity" happens when Josh & Pat meet up in the playoffs. It was more important for the Chiefs to win tonight than the Jets. Now if Aaron was still around that would've been a whole new story. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Didn’t these same refs call a safety on the chiefs when the facemask clearly happened outside the end zone? And that was clear illegal contact by Gardner. If they called it on him every play like the refs should, the game would be unwatchable.

Success Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 KC is just getting that rep now. They got the plus end of the officiating in the AFCCG, the SB and now tonight.

Teams that play the Chiefs have to overcome that to win. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Jets scored 2 TDs in the final 2 minutes when Cleveland's RB scored with a 6 point lead, increasing the lead to 13 instead of going down and giving the Browns the opportunity to run out the clock, the coaches around the league reminded everyone not to do that.

The face mask was grabbed outside the EZ, but wasn’t twisted or pulled until the defender was in the endzone. Terry McCaully actually contradicted himself. He said it shouldn’t have been a safety because it began outside of it, but then defined a facemask as grabbing then twisting the helmet and that occurred in the endzone (which would make it a safety). Collinsworth said something like “so it isn’t a facemask until it’s twisted?” and McCaully said “that’s correct.” So which is it, Terry? A safety or no?

zow2 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 The Chiefs have the pedigree. When sh*t starts to go sideways, they so often right the ship in a nick of time and pull out the W. Sure some calls or non calls went their way late. they always do for the perceived better team. The Jets got some nice calls too in that game when they mounted a comeback. This is a good example of how KC pulled out a win in the same building Buffalo failed in similar circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 There isn’t one team, currently, that comes close to the constant close game ref issues as the Chiefs. It happens here and there, with a different team one night and maybe another a few weeks later. It’s just constant with Kansas City. And most opposing fanbases notice it. …it’s now a running joke on Twitter/X anytime they play a big game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
