This. It can be both.

not even close...smith had the ball out well before he would have gotten there

Maybe if there was no left tackle at all? The play was way underneath

Along with a ton of other shit...but yeah, I guess.

Refs got what they wanted

Bingo. Shit call, but in NO WAY did the Chiefs deserve to win that game. Pretty much every single player besides maybe a couple DBs completely pissed down their legs. No one other than Chiefs fans have any interest in seeing our popgun nutless gutless hapless offense again. As the old saying goes, when the goin gets tough, the Chiefs marble-sized balls shrivel up into their cheap perfume-scented wombs. As usual.

Harrison had no chance of getting to Smith unless you're assuming that Fisher suddenly blipped out of existence. Smith had released the ball while Harrison was still slipping and falling.

You need to watch that play again when you calm down and regain some objectivity.

It wouldn't have been called on the Steelers. FU

Harrison was going to go around Fisher and get to Smith in time if you eliminate the left hook that Fisher gives him.

we've a seen Hali get way worse on way closer plays and no flag. The Refs were looking for a reason to bail out Pit before the ball was ever snapped. There were worse holds on both sides all game that never got called. The Refs intervened when they needed too to protect the score.

I'm still waiting for the day we have Houston in a playoff game.

It was a clear hold. Doesn't matter if it happens to Hali all the time. Still a hold.

The refs gave Pittsburgh the game in the end, but yeah, the Chiefs didn't play well, at least on offense. The defense got pushed around all game, but held the opponent out of the end zone the whole game. That's going to win 99 percent of games.

The problems were an offensive line that got beat the whole game and receivers who couldn't catch anything. Did every Chief drop a pass tonight? Kelce, Maclin, Conley (kind of), Ware, Wilson - all of them dropped passes that were critical.

I am on this train. Regardless of whether or not the fix is in on these games, the officiating in the NFL is terribly inconsistent, and downright inexcusably bad at times.
