What about the refs? Can they ruin it for you now? Given the chace, they will.

I think there needs to be an investigation on Rams paying off the refs. Blatant missed calls and a wink from a ref. I think there is a conspiracy.

Quit committing stupid penalties and things will change. The bias (unconscious or not) will change. When your team is at the top of the league in penalties per game, the referees are going to keep looking for it. It's like driving a red sports car and complaining about the police giving you speeding tickets.

Only I can choose to ruin my own enjoyment. This might be the last QB that I live to see for the Chiefs, why would I want to ruin that?

Why the **** would ANYONE believe that "the Rams paid off the refs"?

have you been paying attention?

The refs were HANDPICKED by the NFL because these refs call the games the way the NFL wants them called.

The refs have these ear pieces in their ear...The league office in NY watches every single play...and communicates to the refs on the field. There was a Patriots game last year where the league actually stopped play on the field to initiate a replay - the order came from NY.

So, every eye in the football world was watching on Monday Night. Including the league office. The refs had their earpieces in...

If ANYTHING had happened, official-wise, that the league didn't 100% cosign to, they would stop the game to "make it right".

Speak for yourself only.

Perhaps clinging to the hope that he deeply cares (just silently) is a coping mechanism too. :shrug: I'm just saying I've not seen anything that says he cares.

:rolleyes: Well we've been alienated from a SB appearance for 48 years.

If they needed a special reffing crew in order to rig this game, how do they rig all the other ones?

Coming to grips with it being rigged influenced doesn't make you hate the game you grew up playing, it makes you wonder if this is the year the NFL gives your small market team the nod.

And for those on the other side of the ledger, those who think the NFL is 100% unbiased toward certain teams fulfilling the most profitable script, and those thinking the Hunt family actually cares deeply about getting a SB victory, still can't explain how we've been SB dry for 48 years in a league of 32 teams and 6.25% of the teams attend the SB every year? Hell, the law of averages has us in the SB 3 times in the last 48 years, yet we've never sniffed one. Why? Just a coincidence? A run of bad luck? C'mon, the Hunts are the ONLY constant in the Chiefs organization for those 48 years, they never seem to say a ****ing thing, but we're supposed to conclude that they really care, they just can't bring themselves to express it publically?

I'm putting my money on the side of "don't care" (at least not much) instead of "silently care".

Why do you care?

1) Why? It seems with the cash these officials are getting paid, the lack of bias they claim to have, and knowing that there's a hold (on the line) on every play, why don't they start doing their job?

2) What if got you to the top is bullshit? IOW, what if our folks aren't doing anything more than any other team does?

3) If you truly believe it's subliminal (not on purpose), not suggested/directed/nudged from NFL NYC, perhaps it's time for the NFL to look into something better than the current officiating paradigm. Don't the fan deserve a balanced and unbiased officiating experience?

Perhaps the flip question is, why did they need a specially crafted crew?

Exactly.

The answers to those questions, imho, lie in :

The merger
Super Bowls III & IV
The Kansas City Shuffle
