Chiefs opponents have been called for 5 DPIs and 4 defensive holdings, which is higher than league average.

We have the best skill players in the NFL, so duh...

Given the fact that we’re 8th in passing attempts and we have a ridiculous set of weapons and a QB that make you defend the entire field this means jack shit. It’s not surprising we’d have more than the league average. If we didn’t, then it would be REALLY obvious.

They got more than us. Most not have been fair. Conspiracy!

Nobody can hold Tyreek. He’s so ****ing fast you can’t even get hands on the guy.

Go **** your mother pillowbiter

I don’t think there’s a grand conspiracy, but I also am not naive enough to believe it was a just a big ****ing coincidence that the home team in a big market got biased officating from a last min All-Star ref crew while the media played up the “rallying around the community” narrative after the tragedies they’ve suffered.

You couldn’t write this shit up any better the way everything played out. Me and Detoxing literally called this happening in the GDT before the game. I guess it’s all just on big ****ing coincidence though like I said.

It's not so much volume, but timing, as it relates to penalties.

Technically, New England had zero penalties (since neither were consequential, and therefore, we declined them).

The penalty yards in that game were 58 - 0

All you have to watch is last year's New England playoff game versus JAX to see and understand how timing of flags is WAY more important than volume.

(Same for PITT/JAX and DEN/LAC this pas weekend)

The Rams got more favorable officiating last night; no real way to argue it. The league office had to get involved to flip two plays that were just blatantly wrong.

If you want to say that the refs buckled under the weight of the home crowd, that's fine. I'm not saying their motives were malevolent or there was some sinister fix in. The replay offices aren't prone to being influenced by the crowd since they aren't there so they were ultimately able to get those calls right. But that doesn't mean that the officials on the field weren't and I believe they absolutely were.

Combine that with their predisposition towards living up to the 'All-Star' status and getting themselves involved in the game early, and I think the officials absolutely impacted that football game.

Let's go ahead and shelve the 'all-star' crews, M'kay, NFL?

Today the sports talk people were absolutely jerking off to the fire victim rally performed by the mighty rams

we never had a chance once they moved that game in my opinion

Also, whitlocks show got blocked today for girls soccer ROFL

they didn't want to hear about officiating issues on tv LMAO

Did the ref wink at Goff after ****ing us over? You damn right he did.

Not surprising at all, at the forefront of wrong on just about everything.

Here's that block in the back call:

Tell me that's not ticky tack as ****. Harris does a really nice job getting into the second level and getting right into the chest of Barron, who's a damn athletic linebacker (former safety). He initiates contact and takes him out of the hole. Barron, while engaged, turns his body. Harris had started finishing his block as Barron rotates and then tries to disengage.

The 'All Star Crew' felt the need to make their presence known in that game but the block had no bearing on the play. Harris had sealed that lane and Barron turned. Jacobs comes down hard on Harris in that clip and I think he's just wrong. That's a common occurrence on those 2nd level blocks and the fact that Barron made a bizarre rotation away from the run rather than try to fight through the block shouldn't yield a penalty on Harris. Barron effectively took himself out of the play through that little maneuver and was rewarded for it.

It was a weak-ass call on our first offensive play of the game. It turned a 17 yard run into a 10 yard loss and effectively killed the drive.

The refs set a tone for that game early and it was NOT one that was favorable for the Chiefs on the road. That's unfortunate.

This is how guys like Cochise and Fish act about everything, not just football

They like to envision themselves lording over everyone from on high, omniscient... they're two of the biggest ****ing windbags on this board

Calishaw on Around the Horn just said he is not a fan of 'all star' crews in the playoffs.
Should be best crews for playoff games.

That was ticky tack. ****.

Staylor, you were right.
