The hold that took away our 2 point conversion
 

Happens to Tamba Hali and never gets called

You mean the "Clady clutch"?

That was decided before the ball was snapped.....Baldinger just going off about how bad of a call it was

Smells like the fix was in to me.

Trolls will defend that BS. But that was the most blatant favoritism I've ever seen.

They could have called that on just about any play. I don't know. May be done with the nfl

No, it's because Chiefs

IT's the Steelers.. what the hell were you expecting.

It was clearly a hold, but that doesn't excuse the fact that Pitt got away with it the entire mother****ing game... and they weren't called for it ONE time

Good thing the refs made the chiefs offense disappear for 85% of the game.

It wasn't a hold. He didn't impede him and it had 0 effect on the play. It happened all game long on both sides of the ball. To call it then says it was rigged BS.

Probably a penalty, but rarely gets called especially given the situation.

I could list 1 million reasons why the Chiefs lost and refs still wouldn't make the list.

It was not a hold. Go watch 99.9% of Hali's pass rushes. It was not a hold.

It was a hold.

It wasn't a penalty

Broncos 2nd overall pick in the draft wins us a SB.

kc's 1st overall pick costs you guys a Division round game.

That must hurt.

Must have been why they also took the two pointer off the board against the Chiefs in Denver, or why they called back Berry's 2 pt return against Atlanta, or his TD return against Carolina.

Refs are always looking for ways to **** the Chiefs, which is why they had 109 penalties called against them, and 109 for them.

FTR, the Cowboys had 90 penalties called in benefit of them, and the three teams that were beneficiaries of the most penalty calls were the perennial referee favorites Detroit, Tennessee, and Houston.

Maybe Fisher shouldn't have let himself get beat instantaneously.

I don't have a problem with the call, if they call it consistently.
If you leave the game in the hands of the officials, be prepared to bend over and grab your ankles.

It could be called a hold. Seen worst never called.

Reminds me of the 2003 Tony Gonzalez PI call.

If Clarkbar cared, he would gather 200 pictures of Tamba Hali getting the same type of block with no holding being and post them in a continuous twitter feed over the next week. But $, so he won't. I watched 50% less football this year than last year. Mostly Chiefs games. Seriously questioning my sanity for continuing to follow the NFL at all.

That's the thing. On a critical play in the playoffs, you call a penalty to take the game-tying points off the board when the "penalty" had no remote outcome on the play? The Steelers were holding on the interior line the entire game and the refs had clearly made the decision to "let them play" without calling holding. And then suddenly on a critical play they decide to enforce the rule to the letter in a situtation that had no impact at all on the outcome?

And it wasn't a hold. Harrison was slipping and falling.

With the first pick in the NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select...Eric Fisher!!!

We tied tied the game despite a crap run defense and crap offense. The NFL decided it wanted Ben and Brady. It's that simple. Harrison had no chance to get Smith but they called it any way. There will be no chance unless we get marquee players. It not by happenstances they are on the teams in the big dance every year.

It was a hold, arm barred him and took him to the ground and bent him back, it was a foul. I will say that most times in those situations they don't call it. Have seen Von get taken down like that a lot and it won't get called.

The bigger play that hurt was the drop by "gronk" and alex missing at least 2 deep TD passes.

"Rigged" LMAO

His legacy has been made.

It reminds me of the Dave Szott holding call against Miami in the playoffs.

http://articles.latimes.com/1991-01-...fourth-quarter

The Chiefs went to work after the kickoff from their 22 and made it to the Miami 26 at the two-minute warning. On first down, Okoye plowed up the middle for 12 additional yards, but the play was nullified by a holding call on Kansas City guard David Szott.

"Imagine that, the only holding penalty called in the game," Lowery said. "Isn't that interesting."

Pushed back to the 37, the Chiefs gained only three more yards before calling on Lowery for the game-deciding kick.

"You see the ball falling short and you see the season just going away from you," Hackett, said. "It's too bad. . . . I think this team deserves more than what we reached."

i dont think he had his arm more of he was inside the breastplate could be wrong someone help out with a picture would be nice...but i coach offensive line in highschool for the last 5 years (i know its not the same as nfl) but thats what i teach to do in that situation you keep a hand in the breastplate and one on the hip and drive up the field...that hand on the hip keeps the linemen from spinning back or coming back underneath

If the NFL usually doesn't call it -- and it doesn't -- it is total BS to call it in that situation.

Basically this.
They call it so irregularly that for them to call it on the most important play of the game is pure bullshit.

No shit. Homers WTF?!?!

Yeah, that's sure what it looked like. It was a hold, no doubt about it. The Steelers line got away with some shit, no doubt about that either.

But 16 points against the Steelers D after they were held to 6 field goals? That's why they went one and done.

The hold that took away our 2 point conversion
 

The thing that is really heartbreaking is that he didn't even need to block him.

The play was to the right side....

I predict this thread leads to spousal abuse and road rage tomorrow.

It was absolutely a hold, and it was an obviously one that help spring the play

Eric "wardrum" Fisher

OP is very true, but that play is not what lost the Chiefs the game. As Jspchief mentioned, the refs were waaaaay down on the list of faults for the Chiefs loss tonight.

It was a hold that usually isn't called 9 times out of 10.

It didn't lose us the game but it sure kept us from winning it...

Garbage call

No. It was a shit call and you guys know it

Didn't spring anything.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I've always laughed at the posts here calling the Broncos Super Bowl last year the "Super Farce" and saying that the refs gave it to them. But man.. The biggest play of the game and they call it? After years of seeing Tamba get held in chokeholds and it never being called, they call it in the biggest play of a playoff game?

I don't know man...

Even worse was the phantom hold against Manusky in 1997

He would have gotten to Smith before he threw the ball. I don't think that is really debatable.

Agreed

I don't think it changed the play at all, but it was a hold.

"****ing Foot Locker" was the exact quote

Classic that your #1 over all pick, the guy you lean on in games like this, end up losing the gme for you.. .


Beaten by an nursing home admittance...

ONLY the Chiefs...

Kelce is right

Uh, wrong. He would have decapitated Smith

It wasn't a hold because they wouldn't have called it against the Steelers. I hope the
Steelers player die painfully.

bullshit, he wasn't even close

ROFL

It was a blatant hold.
For the record it happens to Tamba or has happened to Tamba 1000 times.
Still a hold. Inexcusable.

I guess the only good thing is that they wouldn't have called it if the pass had been incomplete.

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.

It's clear that he was about 50 percent, and that was crushing. Perhaps in that situation you shouldn't play if you can't hold your own.

Baldinger still railing about the call

Alex Smith also missed his fair share of throws. He missed two huge gains (one to Ware, one TD to Maclin). He also missed wide open receivers at least three times tonight that I saw.

On second look that FN sucks... So bad.

:rolleyes:
