I have to agree with Dane here. This move by Kelce will get this horrible officiating call all kinds of bad press on sports talk shows and maybe we will see a better show by the zebras in the future. If anything, PI needs to be a challengable play with set limits.

I like Frasier, but I like Seinfeld more.

I liked his hit out of bounds I wasn't mad about that but he never should have had too because Peters missed on a sloppy tackle. Peters should have made that tackle anyways.

He went overboard and hurt the team by getting kicked out. Making excuses for him doesn't change the fact nearly contributed to a loss. He was clearly interfered with, but that happens all the time without a guy getting kicked out.

The funniest thing about that play was the 2 Jaguars players that were doing the ejection sign and taunting Kelce should have been flagged for unsportsmanlike contact.

If that **** head from Indy didn't get fined nor suspended for slamming Smith's head into the turf last week, then yes, this is the case

But Marcus Peters waving a finger is way worse...

Why don't you show where he twisted his shoulder?

Oh yeah, that would show the PASS INTERFERENCE!

Kinda like when Bortles spiked the ball and no flag?

I saw that and thought that as well

I don't think it was overboard at the time because **** the refs.

Refs need to get it right.


Of course the league will send a letter of apologies to the Chiefs for their non call mistake.


I'm not even sure they got that call right from instant replay that the ball crossed the line when the ball carrier fumbled it and Chiefs recovered. Looked like the ball crossed the line but oh well right?

I'm happy for the win. Hope Kelce doesn't get suspended for pointing out Refs incompetence officiating.

He even apologized to the ref after doing so

ESPN http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/p...ections-record

Before you settled into your Barcalounger Sunday, two more NFL players had been ejected from games. And then, before the early games were complete, another player had been disqualified.

Add it all up, and NFL officials already have ejected more than twice the number of players as they did during all 17 weeks of the 2015 regular season. The total of 10 disqualifications puts them on pace to set at least a 15-year high and continues a two-pronged effort by the league to restrain what it considers to be unsportsmanlike player behavior.

NFL Ejections Per Season
YEAR EJECTIONS
2016 10*
2015 4
2014 13
2013 6
2012 7
2011 8
2010 5
*Through early Week 9 games
As the chart shows, NFL ejections typically have remained in single digits for a full season. Historically, the short season relative to other sports has made the league reluctant to use the ejection as a deterrent. There have not been more than 13 in any season since at least 2001, which is as far back as the ESPN Stats & Information database goes.

In 2016, however, the NFL turned to a pair of initiatives --- mostly in response to an ugly game last season between the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants. It added a rule that calls for an automatic ejection of players who receive two of a certain type of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. And it also intensified efforts to make fighting and other non-football acts subject to immediate ejection if on-field officials believe it is warranted.

We saw one of each on Sunday afternoon.

First, referee Jeff Triplette's decision to eject Cleveland Browns center Cam Erving and Dallas Cowboys defensive end David Irving came as the result of a fight after a first-quarter play.

Second, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was ejected after a fourth-quarter call by referee Gene Steratore for arguing about a penalty call and then throwing a towel at an official. He received separate unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for each, triggering the auto-ejection rule.

Triplette has led the way among NFL officials, accounting for five of the 10 ejections. Referee Bill Vinovich has ejected two players, while John Hussey, Ed Hochuli and Steratore have done it once each.

A fine I can understand but a suspension for a guy that has no history of this stuff is way over the top.

That was immature, but I understand his frustration. You know Gronk gets that call 150 times out of 100.

Yeah. And teams don't get stripped of a 3rd round pick for tampering and players don't get 3 game suspensions for something that happened before the rule changed to make it a suspension either. This is the Chiefs. The league always screws us.

He did do the jacking off gesture. They would assume he has character issues.

That might be the dumbest thing you have ever said.

I love Frasier, but I feel Crane-Cheers>Crane-Frasier


Kelce was 100% right to be furious, 100% wrong to give the refs a chance to make these calls. If the game was out of hand, fine, make a statement. But it cost us a chance at a TD and almost helped cost us a game.

Well his Twitter response is opposite of what I thought he'd say.

And that's a good thing.

I figure he is just trying to get out in front of this thing so that maybe the league slaps him on the wrist instead of up side the head.

So it looked like he was sarcastically flagging the refs for being shitty. It's funny, but you know they aren't going to put up with that.

Well that's a smart move from a guy who I thought would run his mouth post game and make this worse. He's right. It was a missed call but he also needs to know the game. We almost lost the game and that play was a big reason.

No, he had the response you thought he would say at first.

Then his agent must have called~

Oh, did I miss a bad tweet in there?

no

I'm on Kelce's side, it's very superficial and shallow to say all the things the commentators said, and the league will say. But in the end if the Chiefs have any balls at all, they won't talk to the league about what Kelce did unless the league is willing to replay what all the official's missed on the play in question. It's relevant, and it matters; it's not OK for them to miss that. And if the league does something overly stupid, the Chiefs should bonus Kelse some dramatic amount in the future to let the league know they suck hairy goat balls.

Now, if they suspect Kelce for a game for hurting an official's feelings and the officials for two games for missing something that was obvious (dereliction of duty), I'll be fine with it.

If every player lost his cool after every missed call, the game would never end. Calls are missed all the time. I believe Ivory scored a TD and the refs missed that one. Did anyone lose their mind and get kicked out on the Jags team?

They reviewed the fumble, and perhaps they got it wrong, but they at least tried. Too bad they can't review Kelce's raping.

And officials are too thin-skinned.

I found it to be entertaining when he threw the "flag" on ref.

Absolutely awesome apology by Kelce. He owned it completely and didn't make excuses. Much better then 99% of these fake apologies you hear. Immature actions, very mature response

Yeah I must have missed that one also.

Yes, he said something like "a grandma could have seen it, what where the refs thinking!~" etc

Then deleted it :P

And he's right, a grandma could have. And I'm sure almost anybody else would have got the DPI call, but they have it out for TC, to the point of turning a blind eye. It'll take a while, but this is how change happens, and it will come at a cost.

He was walking away from the Ref when the Ref threw the flag. This is an emotional game. You missed the call. Take the mouth from the player because that's all it was. He wasn't up in his face or anything.

I'm sure Elway will be calling in for a Kecle suspension

As is always the case, the NFL will totally forget about the spark that caused the fire, it's taking the easy way out and that's how they roll. If they do have to address the missed call we'll hear the same ol shit about it being a tough job. Then they'll forget that being a player is even harder.

I don't give a rat's ass how badly the ref screwed up.

This was a tight game, and those points he could have cost this team were important.

His actions could have cost this team that game, and that is inexcusable.

I have no problem with them saying they missed the call. They did. Just don't get pissed when a player let's you hear about it for a few seconds. You don't want the player bitching about it then don't miss the ****ing call.

I don't disagree. But I don't think the Ref throwing the flag was called for. Though we don't know exactly what got said. I'm sure whatever it was, it wasn't the first time it was said and wasn't flagged, however.

It didn't and the defense balled.

Lighten up. Not everything is Black and White.

The NFL will listen to certain people getting angry, but not others. I'm sure if it was Tom Brady getting in their face for a second , or DelRio right now, nothing...

NFL officials are pussies!

The defense didn't "ball".

They made one great play, and the Jags gifted them 3 times, otherwise that got ran over.

It was sheer stupidity, and there is no excuse for it.

That one o lineman lost a ****ing eye over a flag iirc.

It ended his career. Iirc.

The towel was actually safer.

You're spoiled.

Holding an NFL offense to 14 points, while forcing 4 turnovers and multiple sacks, is "balling".

Even though I agree with you I did enjoy watching Kelce make a point to the officials. They need to do a better job officiating so we don't have players making asses of themselves. I think he made an ass of the ref and it's going cost him hopefully it's not a suspension.

I wonder if the refs called the ball crossing the goal line a touchdown if instant replay would have over turned it I doubt it. Looked like a touchdown so we escaped today with a W but the Chiefs were going blow this game had that been a touchdown.

The defense didn't force any turnovers, they were gifted.

Is there a difference between a good defense and an opportunistic defense?

Seems this defense is getting plenty of turnovers no matter who they play.

I'm stunned the officials just saw the DPI that just happened in the Donk/Faider game. It's so hard, how could they see it? And against the Donks D nonetheless...

The Jags offense was gashing teh Chiefs defense play after play, after play.

They found ways to shoot themselves in the foot to lose that game.

Plain and simple, the Chiefs didn't win that game as much as the Jags lost it.

I wish I could agree with this but the Jags WRs sucked balls themselves. I don't think they gave effort that would have tested this defense.

Sorensen forced the one.

I think there's a difference between forcing turnovers and the offense just giving the ball away, and today the Jags just gave it away.

Actually, if you follow the thread, in my first post I did say that one turnover was a great play.

That was the one.

Shit, one time they tried to give it away in the endzone and Parker said "no thanks"

Other than Dee Ford, there isnt much to beat our chests about today... thats for sure

Except for the fact that the Chiefs beat a fellow NFL team that's loaded with several high 1st round draft choices and high priced free agents.

No win is easy, especially for a team like the Chiefs, who have a number on their backs.

He let one ref hear it for a few seconds, then walked over to another ref and gave him some. The last thing he said got him flagged.

He had reason to be mad and react before quickly returning to the huddle. That's not what he did though.

All true, and I had been telling people ALL WEEK not to sleep on this game

It was just one of those ugly wins that good teams eek out against talented but poorly coached teams with their backs to the wall... again though, its nothing to pound around like a silverback about

The same team that basically quit last week with a lame duck coach and a QB being ridiculed by everyone for his poor play and laughable mechanics. Spin it however you want, but I agree with you that we got a win and that's what matters. With all the injuries, that's a nice win regardless the opponent.

Didn't gaines knock one out with his forearm?

The CB's were awesome today.

Slapping away balls, not allowing much YAC.

**** anyone that "blamed" Parker for not coming up with the INT.

He's a safety, not a receiver.

I expect a 6 game suspension. Goodell.

I can't remember who, but someone said in the chat, that how on earth is what Kelce said worse than the F-bomb laden tirade Gus Bradley went on when they didn't overturn fumble. I get it, it was bad, Kelce shouldn't have done it, and his apology was good BTW - good on him. But the officiating is bad. Very bad. And appears to be getting worse. That nonsense in the Indy game was BAAAAD. I'd have lost my shit over that deal.

I watched a little of the Donk game, and I felt like I was rooting for the Faid and had to go shower. But before I did I saw this flag on a donk defender in the EZ and the replay showed not a damn thing. NOTHING. Dude didn't even sell it, or whine about a flag (like those cheating ****ing Donko bitch****s). I hate Donk more than anything ever, but that's a shit call. And how do you make that call? They're obviously looking for shit that isn't there half the time. Then the other half they overlook the obvious shit.

****ing crazy. High school refs in BFE Kansas are better than this shitfest.

But yeah, Kelce shouldn't have done it. I'm glad he apologized.

It was more entertaining than the game :D

I agree. I think what really set him off with the first back judge completely ignoring him and walking away.

Then, he went full "3 Mile Island" on the second.

Also of note, the line on this game was Chiefs by -7. We won by 6.

Gus Bradley immediately dropped a long string of F-bombs directly in a refs face after the review decision was announced and demanded they get the head official over there so he could yell at him, too.

While I thought him throwing the flag on the ref was hilarious, this is where I'm at as well. He cost us a another four potential points, and it could have meant the game.

Glad to see this. And since we won it's a hell of a lot easier to let this go. Yesterday during the game I seriously felt like Kelce's actions would cost us the game. Glad to see that he seems to get this can't ever happen again.

Can't embed, but I can see that the NFL also opted to not see the Jag's taunting (:32 in the video).

I know, I know, officials aren't biased, it's just a tough job.

Probably not. He's too busy complaining about Harris actually getting called for DPI. He doesn't understand why his team should be held accountable just like everyone else.
