I'll say it first: Yes, a couple of questionable calls in KC's favor. Could have gone either way when you look at all angles. And it's only halftime... And Washington absolutely killed themselves with momentum-killing turnovers. Not saying they would have won, but geez, they WERE playing great, until the second kick return fumble...
Game is over, and unless I missed it I never saw a single frame of Taylor Swift, and I know she was there.... the print media commented on her outfit. Where's everyones' theories about the NFL paying her to be there? Why? Hey! I just saw her for 8 seconds, walking to the post-game ceremony! Yay! I can sleep well tonight, now!
Swift was shown in the box at least three times. Doesn’t matter though. The referees very clearly interfered with the outcome of the game from bad calls (and no calls) to ridiculous ball spot movement. They’re not even trying to hide it after being called out over and over, and of course Goodell is backing the poor officiating so the questions will persist. I don’t know what’s worse, seeing the blatant lousy calls benefiting KC at so many critical junctions or the fact that the team parades around as arrogant as can be about “their wins”.
I didn’t even watch because I already knew the outcome, I heard about a terrible call on a first down Buffalo got but were ruled short.
I tried REALLY hard last night to watch this game as objectively as possible...I kept telling myself, maybe it's my imagination every time I watch KC for the last 5 years... What a joke. Now, officiating aside, I still can't believe Kincaid dropped that pass, that was one of the greatest throws I have ever seen a QB make.
Notice how the linesman that called it short had no view of the ball (QB was facing away from him) while the linesman that called it a 1st had a clear view of the ball.....how do they let that happen?
Yes the Bills had a chance to take this out of the referee's hands, which is what you have to do when you play KC.....although it is unfair to even fathom that, isn't it? Ridiculous is a better word.
Football is becoming a joke. It’s only fun to try to figure out how many calls can fall for KC. They should have betting odds on that.
You do realize that shooting two years ago had NOTHING to do with the Chiefs, right? It was two morons shooting at each other in a parking lot, and then one of them ran into the crowd, I don't think those morons even knew there was an event going on. Buffalo could not stop KC, that was the first time all year KC scored over 30. And can you explain how in the last 16 plays Buffalo never gave Cook the ball? He was running GREAT - and they take the ball away from him? And the supposed botched 4th down call, the one where they even video reviewed it? You guys are hanging your hat on ONE call? That's funny. This game - the Refs knew going in they would be the most scrutinized in a game EVER, I thought it went Ok. I thought the Patriots were the most disliked? Or the Raidas? Or the Jets? If you guys are so insistent that KC gets all the calls, how many of you are willing to bet your house on KC winning? I mean, if it's so obvious it should be a done deal, right? No way Philly can win? What kinda stands out is Barkley had 15 carries for 118 yards, take away the masterful 60 yard run he had and it was 14 carries for 58 yards.... But with that said, I expect Philly to win the SB, but would not be shocked either way. I expect Goedert to have a great game.
Funny is pretending KC doesn’t get momentum and game swinging calls on critical downs in virtually every game they play. KC doesn’t score 30 against the Bills (even with an injury riddled secondary) if they don’t have help and get the ball back on fake penalties and ****ty spots. Buffalo didn’t play a great game but the truth is Kansas is a 10-7 team without the help in all of these “one score games” and the Bills likely would have won this one too were it not (yet again) for the referees.
That's what all the whiners say. And I can hardly wait - if KC gets blown out by 20+ points in the SB, all the whiners are going to say the same thing: 'See - I told you so', LOL And I don't care one way or the other.
That’s what the Eagles have to do to win this game, take it out of the referees hands. Anytime it’s 4th and short they should go for it and keep Mahomes on the bench as much as possible. The referees only make a difference in close games, but to Joe’s point (JAM1) that is KC’s season, mainly 1 score games.
