I've never seen a delay of game penalty that shouldn't have been called

Yes and I'm still salty over that one. I believe it was on the Chiefs' second drive and it was 3rd and 4 so it would have kept the drive alive.

Eh, the defender definitely jumped, but I don't know think he actually crossed the line.

Yup. Also, earlier in that drive they missed a false start by Kelce.

Refs were trying to keep the game close for the entire 2nd half. This was just a particularly egregious example of it.

Another reason why you should put bad teams away while you have the chance in this league before the refereeing can get involved.

The league is getting desperate. They realize we're just going to steamroll everybody so they're going out of their way to make our games close.

There was a problem with the clock earlier in the game. Wonder if that had anything to do with it and the TV clock wasn't lined up quite right with the actual on field clock.

Pretty sure they showed a replay with the actual game clock in PIP down in the corner and it showed the ball being snapped before the clock his zero.

This had all the markings of a "Trap" game and we over came a lot, add this to the list...

There is the game clock and there is the play clock. The game clock may have been in the hands of the refs at the time, but why in the hell would the play clock be in the hands of the refs? The play clock is there for the players and the refs to see. How can the players get a play off in less than the allotted time unless they have access to a play clock that allows them to know how much time is left?

If the play clock was malfunctioning and "in the hands of the refs," why wouldn't the refs be cutting just a little bit of slack to the players that don't have the full knowledge that the players do? Why wouldn't the NBC crew explain that the refs had control and the play clock that we could see wasn't official?

The play clock that we could see was almost 100% certainly the official play clock. There was time left on the clock when the ball was snapped. The referee that called delay of game was wrong and not on a "close call." Calling a penalty for something that did not actually happen is pretty bad, but usually there is an explanation for it such as that it looked like it happened. There is no excuse for that penalty. It was wrong and the official that called it should be severely disciplined.

I’m waiting for the NFL to comment on this.

Keep waiting. They aren’t going to say shit.

[notorious]

It was bullshit, plain and simple.

If you want to ever see a “nudge” to keep games close, watch last night.
