He didnt maintain control. What about this is hard? The ball was moving all over the ****ing place after the ball appears to hit the ground.

This thread make me embarrassed to be a fan of the same team as some of you guys.

No. You should listen to the official on the phone who said if it was him, he would reverse it. The only thing you really should get right on is a refresher course of what constitutes a catch.

You guys are dumb as all hell, lmfao. Listen to a retired officials opinion on a catch and ignore the actual official on the field.

If you would have continued the sentence to say "....to look like a sloppy preseason game", then I would have had to agree with you.

sure he said that,to create controversy.

why cant the public hear what booth-god and the official are saying to each other on the phone?

Los Alamos?

Yes he did, till after the fact. Dude cupped it, it did not hit ground. He rolled and had it pinned on his hip - still maintaining control. THEN it moves AFTER he satisfied what constitutes a catch. It was an easy call to make once seen on replay.

All I know is that was the worst Super Bowl game in recent memory.

Bland offensively, no real special teams plays, no superstar excitement.

If it had been a regular season game, I would have changed the channel.

The whole thing lacked any energy, IMO.

Alright, moron.

Tell me how someone maintains control of the ball when the hand they are "controlling" it with isn't on the ball when he's rolling around after hitting the ground.

and yet the world got the warm feeling it wanted !

Peyton won the SB !!

It had the excitement and execution of a ****ing preseason game.

It looked a lot like this to me...

Very true. What also didn't help matters was that it was not a fairly called game imo.

That is because he is honest...the officiating headquarters in NYC..not so much.

Why do you think the NFL even has a "central control" for officiating? One source for final say...that can see the same crap we do...and just make up whatever they want.

Who has a motive to control between these two..the guy on TV..or the NFL. My guess is they are going quit having ex officials on broadcasts....

What was up with Cam..not going after that fumble? Late in the game in the SB..down by one score? His actions arent consistent with what was going on in that situation...that was very strange. He was like 'meh"...whatever.

Your special brand of bat shit crazy is wonderful to watch...

I barely even noticed. We were at Super Bowl party and in all honesty, the guests and conversations were 100x more interesting than the game itself.

its turning me on

then why cant we hear what they are saying to each other? after all, they are just talking about the call,right?

That was unreal lol I had to see it again to believe it

Mike Carey is right less often than flipping a coin. He isn't exactly an appeal to authority. Ball never stopped moving.

Coem on man I already posted the bitter fan thread.:)

I can totally understand thinking other was a horrible game to watch. I would feel the same way, but it's my team...so it's exciting.

Tell us where it hit the ground with his hand not under it? His hand is under it, so that's a catch. Sure, he rolls around after that, but it never touched the ground.

You've gotta really not want that to be a catch to see a non-catch there. But this is the NFL, they're having the darnedest time defining a catch these days.

Never mind, it's too late now anyway.

I get it, that's cool. Congrats BTW..

Are you seriously trying to tell me that the nose of that ball doesnt touch the ground?

Most sports fans are absolute morons when it comes to the refs, announcers, the league, etc. Our fellow Chiefs fans are no different than any other team's fans.

You're a special brand of ignorant asswipe....shouldn't you be out celebrating your fake trophy? You did it...YOU really did it!!!! You lied to the world..congrats!

I'm more pissed about the 3 hours I wont get back....that was just bad theater.

I know. I don't believe it was a catch.

Congrats GB... [emoji106]

My mistake. I'm glancing over shit trying to sort through stupid.

The people trying to say that ball never hit the ground and that he maintained control of the ball through the process are so far beyond reeruned its unimaginable.

It's just laughable how up in arms people get over a few close calls and then you can totally ignore others. I laugh at the complaining over the it should have been PI on the Broncos, well look at the drive before when Denver was in the redzone on third down. The replay clearly shows Sanders getting touched before the ball gets there and to top it off the other defender comes in and hits Sanders helmet to helmet, but there was no penalty there and not a peep from BlackOps about it. Then you look earlier in the game when Denver gets a 15 yard roughing penalty on the hit on Cam. Cam was a freaking runner that play and he was not down and diving forward and he got hit yet that's worth 15 yards and roughing? Again not a peep from Blackops. So whatever believe your conspiracy bullshit.

:shrug:

You can make contact with the receiver if you're going for the ball. The contact was incidental. That wasn't even a hit.

...and another thing...
Whenever there's a non-Chiefs game that isn't high-scoring and doesn't come down to a final drive, people always say it was a boring, sloppy, shit game.

Listen Timmy..I watch enough football to know when I see a shitshow. That was a craptastic exercise in formulaic corporate fantasy programming...I dont expect you to recognize it. If everyone did...it wouldn't work. Now shuffle off and pretend you are a champ.

LMAO

I'm willing to say that the nose touches the ground with his hand under it.

Look, it's over, the man made his call and that's it. The odd part is that they'll make the different call on some other replay next year. Like missed PIs, the NFL sees what it wants to see, when it wants to see it. Hell a line just missed Talib's second offsides, and that's the one things he's there to see. I guess that was, just letting them play.

It's all good, I'm sure we'll learn from all of this for next year and be right where the Donks are this year.

I don't think the game is rigged at all, but there's every reason in the world for Peyton to win. It becomes this glorious storybook ending they'll replay on ESPN, NFL Films, etc. for decades. Just like they do with Elway. People eat that stuff up. Especially since so many people love Manning.

Cam's 3 turnovers were rigged too amirite?

Did you see the black choppers doing the fly-over during the anthem?

So the NFL paid off Carolina's RT to get bitchslapped by Von Miller....makes sense.

Blackop I'm expecting something epic out of you tonight.

Take time to think and come back tomorrow if necessary.

So you are willing to say that the ball hit the ground and that he didn't maintain control of the ball. That is the very definition of an incomplete pass. See how easy of a call that is?

Maybe it's the inconsistency?

Who cares, it's sports, it's not real life...

If that's the case, then the correct call was made based on the current rule. If he hadn't lost control afterward, it would have been a catch, but as soon as he lost control it was over.

If you really want to pull out a conspiracy theory, Cam not diving for that fumble at the end was a little weird....but the NFL paying off Cam Newton to blow a Super Bowl is so far out there that only the true tinfoil hats are going to even consider that.

I said it touched the ground, I didn't say he didn't maintain control. He did.. But hey, you, Donk fans, and one NFL official saw it differently, so that's all that matters.

If I had to guess, I think Cam saw his own man coming over the top and tried to get out of the way to make it a clean recovery. Clearly, he should have gone for it, but it's not a completely idiotic decision when made in a split second like that.

I agree it is a storybook ending...but is Peyton having a storybook ending THAT important to the NFL? What exactly do they gain?

And whatever it is that they allegedly gain, is it really worth the risks involved in paying refs/players/coaches or whoever to fix the game? The benefit, if any, is tiny, and the risks are enormous.

Did you even watch the replay? There is no way he maintains control of that ball. None.

It literally rolled around and almost touched the ground again before he maintained control. That was 100% clear.

OK, since it's you, I'll agree.

The ball obviously bobbled around after hitting the ground, the hand holding it comes off at one point...

That is exactly how I explained it to my son when he asked me wtf? except I added it was a completely weak instinct on Cam's part.

Michael Oher sucked this game. I need to go burn that blu ray now.

Did you come up with the cliched response on your own? Do you have any thoughts that arent just repeating another's meme? Are you even alive?

Yep, I mentioned to my friends during the game, "When I get back home and log onto Chiefs Planet, they'll all be saying the game was fixed . . . . "

Nah he grabbed around before the ball got there. That's interference.

Oh JFC.

Officials let the teams play in the SB. It's always been that way.

Why aren't you guys showing the 20-25 pic/videos of Carolina holding the **** out of Denver's defensive line?

Christ, I had Hali flashbacks it was so bad.

Yawn. **** denver. **** carolina. **** the refs and the nfl and their cheesy ass halftime shows

That's where I think it truly sucks...sport is about the moment...there is a metaphor ingrained in it. If these corporate entities try to homogenize it with trite outcomes and manufactured fairy tale endings...it's just junk. Phony garbage....it's the 9 billion dollar WWF.

Didn't today's game just seem uninspired and soul-less?...like going through the motions. I mean it kind of looked like a football game..played by actors.

Exactly

It's hypocrisy and laughable. Head injuries are serious business unless it's a big game, then it's fine.

The Broncos won by head-kicking Cam Newton like he was Ronda Rousey. If anyone thinks the NFL is rigged, there's not much of a reason to watch the game.

It had Denver in it, so it started as a shit game with little hope of getting better.

Exactly

The Men in Black were there as well.

Keep fooling yourself. This was not entertainment

Someone explain to me the 2006 Steelers/Seahawks Super Bowl. Can someone honestly say the officiating did not **** the Seahawks in that game?

Not sure what he was thinking, but there's also a Bronco going in that does the same thing coming across right in front of Cam. Maybe he was blocked by the Panther player, hard to tell from that clip.

People don't want to believe it because that means they have wasted a lot of time and energy on some bullshit

Also, what's the big uproar about the officials not overturning the dropped pass. Because Mike Carey and the booth numbnuts are blind as ****? Looks like that ball hit the ground right there to me and he clearly didn't keep possession after this.

**** that game

There's no such thing as bad officiating unless you see money exchange hands. It's hard to officiate and they can't see everything.

I won't say it was rigged, but the Donks got just about every questionable call.

It was awesome how we got all those bad plays by Cam! BRONCOS 3 TIMES WORLD CHAMPS!!!!

I think you made your point.

Congrats to you, your team, and your fans.

No call is questionable...
