Wash almost pulls off the win over DEN and the refs. 

i can’t believe the grounding call in regulation and then the holding call in OT that negated the first mcclaurin TD? On that hold, no ref is calling a hold when the rusher is running himself into the ground.

On the bright side, one step closer to eliminating the doomsday scenario where KC wins out and Denver loses 4/6.. now 4/5.

There's a team every year where the analytics don't match the record and they always get knocked out of the playoffs early. Denver is that team this year for sure.

There’s a bunch of teams like that this year it’s honestly pretty crazy haha NE and Chicago were like 17 and 22 in DVOA coming into this week not sure how much they’re gonna move.  LAC was below average also 

 

ironically their metric is pretty high on Denver

Yeah it seemed pretty blatant. Add in that false start as well and the tripping non-call. At least 4 bad calls when the game is on the line.

I’ll throw my weekly Kingsbury love out there. I love what he was doing offensively, scheming guys open and getting vertical stretch down the field with Mariota playing qb. He's primed and he’s smart. He’s going to have success in his second go round as a HC.

An unbelievably bad game by that officiating crew.  They need to be replaced.  On the bright side, I think Denver is very overrated. I don't see them as SB worthy.

Oh well.  Pisses off Chiefs fans.

 

They are 4.5 games behind Denver and 2.5 behind the final wildcard spot with 5 games to play.  

 

This bothers them greatly because they know the only time NE missed the playoffs during Brady’s run was when he was hurt and missed virtually the whole season.  Mahomes, by contrast, has played every game this year.

 

If any of you happen to go to ChiefsPlanet, be sure to remind them of this.

Just watched the end of the Denver game. Incredible how many poorly officiated games there were this weekend. The Colts game, ours and this one. The full on tripping on that Mariota sack in the 4th should have been corrected by the replay assist for a flag when it happened.  Year after year, the NFL just cannot get their sht together for officiating, especially when games start to matter.

Let's Go Giants. If they didn't blow so many 4th quarter leads they would be competing for a playoff spot. The Giants went into tough places like Denver and Detroit and should have won those games especially Denver. Let's hope they can pull off the upset tonight at NE.
