Sure, everything is rigged, but it’s only rigged against us. It’s never rigged for us. (Said the dimmest bulbs in every fan base)

If you can't be more specific that that, then maybe it's a "you" problem. The ol' generic "all of those in the 2nd half" makes you sound like an uniformed fan.

Those are my personal favorites. “The Chiefs were holding all game and it wasn’t called”!!!!! Except for when Pacheco’s first half TD run was called back for holding. Oh and apparently only the Chiefs held all game. The Bengals OLine played an immaculate game except for a few times when they held and those were called every time by “biased” refs.

Wait, I though Furious Florio was going to stop covering the NFL if Tyreek wasn't locked up for life. What changed?

Every call that was made, was a correct call. So no, **** off with that dumb shit.

Either learn the rules or just STFU. That simple.

The referee crew seemed to be a little bit disorganized during the game, but most of the penalties they called were the correct calls.

There’s no doubt he’s chucking it at the OL. No he’s not throwing it to perine who was blanketed. That throw off platform has a good chance of getting picked. They’re trying to compare that to mahomes underthrowing to a wide open kelce and would have been an easy completion if he didn’t get hit.

So let me get this right:

We have a pretty weak holding penalty on us that removes a touchdown from us, and a DPI call that in the moment looked pretty close with the naked eye (without slow-mo) that removed an interception, so of course the game is rigged for us, when it would have been INFINITELY easier to just let those items stand.

In regards to the "lack of holding call" BS that is going around, only Joe Thomas, Geoff Schwartz, and several other offensive linemen have said on Twitter that what happened was in no way Holding at the NFL level.

If it wasn't for the BS on 3rd & 9, this crap wouldn't be getting the momentum it is. Side note: Per Nick Wright (and pulled up the box score and pulled up the play to verify), we punted from the same spot we would have if the 3rd & 9 situation didn't happen. the 40 yard line, as the first down received there was from a defensive holding penalty.

Excuses and Narratives, everyone has them, and they're all worthless.

Generic response is all you will ever get, call it a tap out. One final thought, convince me you wouldn't be nitpicking every call/non call if you switched teams just for this game. :rolleyes: worth mentioning I see.. Bengals fan I am not

These were called correctly. Not even close to being the same.

It's because unless the Chiefs are your team everyone is tired of us, I literally watched someone say it wouldn't matter what team it is, I don't want to see the same team over and over.

LOSERS always complain about refs. So yeah, if the Chiefs were on the receiving end of a loss, there would absolutely be loser Chiefs fans complaining about refs. It doesn't change a damn thing we are talking about though. When you get down to the specifics, this had everything to do with Cincy's inability to capitalize on opportunities and very little to do with the Refs. The "volume" or "favoured" argument is just a ridiculous angle.

1. On the 3rd and 9, yeah it seemed shady at first. But they have ****ing video evidence of the ref running in and waiving his hands to stop the play before the ball was snapped. VIDEO EVIDENCE. It happened. The play was blown dead. Get over it. On top of that, it was completely inconsequential. It actually HURT the Chiefs.

Verdict: You have to be a brain dead ****ing moron to be latching onto this one.

2. The Intentional grounding call was text book grounding. He threw the ball at his OL's feet to avoid a sack and he didn't have a receiver even close. Again, we have ****ing photographic evidence of this. Burrow was inside the tackle box, didn't get the ball to the LoS, and there was no receiver near. ****ing text book grounding. Jesus, it couldn't be MORE intentional grounding if he tried.

Verdict: If you don't understand what intentional grounding is, STFU.

3. The Mahomes roughing call was again, surprise surprise, text book. Mahomes had two ****ing feet out of bounds. This wasn't some, "oh he barely stepped on the line" shit. No. Dude had TWO feet touch white. Text book roughing.

Verdict: Again, **** your feelings, learn the rules.
