The Chiefs won a highly questionable call yesterday with Alex Smith. The late hit out of bounds. IMO it wasn't late....the NFL protects its QBs.....it is what it is.

Yeah, it's part of the dance. Beauty is, it always gets decided on the field in the end...

This.

Also, on the Alex Smith 'late hit', I agree. I don't think it was late either, BUT that is how they are calling it consistently and this league is all about protecting QB's at all costs. Brady and Manning get that call EVERY time!

It was nice to see Alex given the same consideration.

My theory on the "Manning Factor": Since every play is crucial in beating him, everything is amplified in terms of what people think they see.

Besides, where do people look when they watch the game? At their own team. When the defense is on the field you watch the lines very close, and when offense is on the field we watch the QB.

If you watch the QB you aren't going to see your own team holding very much. I would assume if I watched the Chief's O-Line I would be amazed at what goes uncalled.

And the ridiculous call of Bowe stepping out of bounds (which someone already mentioned above) when he NEVER ACTUALLY STEPPED OUT.

Even if the Chiefs had challenged (not sure if you even can) it wouldn't have mattered because the officials 'blew the whistle' so the play would have been stopped either way.

The NFL really needs to do some work on its officials! With all the work they're supposedly doing to eliminate bad calls, they're really flubbing some very obvious ones.

Great points. It's said there could be a hold called on almost every play and I believe it.
2 5-0 teams in the west, raping the nfc. Loving it.

Is it me or do the donks get 90% of the calls going their way? One play in particular; they horsecollar Romo for a sack...no call...GUARANTEED if that had been Manning, pink flags would have flown. Holding on running plays easily picked up by replay...not called.:banghead:
I'm not saying they arent a good team, just frustrating we are having the best start in a decade and so are the freaking donks, just don't think they need the 13-14th man on the field helping them. OK so maybe it's just sour grapes after all?:deevee::cuss:

Long story short the refs decided this game, just like the refs gave Pey Pey a phantom roughing the passer in the AFC Championship that let to his only Super Bowl Win*

must be nice playing for franchise that's so pusssified the only way they can win is by cheating the salary cap, pouring crisco on their lineman, and having the refs bail them out with bullshit on a regular basis.
