When the Chiefs commit a penalty, I expect the refs to not throw a flag. When the other team commits a penalty, I expect the refs to throw a flag. That's where I'm at.

Yes! This is the majority of Andy and Patrick’s ire. And they expressed it as such.

Buffalo gets a parade tomorrow, let them have their reprieve from Josh's mediocre playoff record

It was a gifted series. If Buffalo simply runs the ball on their last set of downs, they eat up the clock and its game over.

They had three chances last week to seal the game, and failed.

Their second half play is atrocious and are wasting the best defense we've seen in years.

This all looks eerily familiar, and that's not a good sign.

Can I program the algorithm? The Chiefs would do very well in that situationROFL

All centers do it, tbh.

They’ve got to snap the ball and get their hands up to block. The less distance that ball has to travel to be snapped, the sooner they can get their hands up and on a defender.

**** you KaPOSdarius Toney. That mofo needs to get thrown off of this team. And I mean actually thrown out the door.

The envelopes will be showing up in the dropbox

There are three inter-related beefs with the call.

1. It's customary for the officials to correct alignment, but they did not do it in this critical situation.

2. Even knowing they didn't do it, they threw the flag and called back a key play for a foul that didn't affect the play.

3. It's so rare a penalty that it's the first one for an Andy Reid team ever, and the first one for the Chiefs in almost 30 years.


The penalty is Toney's fault. He's guilty. He's got to not be stupid and line up properly.

But the beefs are, "Is this really the way we want the game officiated?"

Players rely on the officials to correct alignment but then penalties get called when the officials don't do it.

Officials say they want players to determine the outcome, but they determined the outcome here over a very minor infraction that didn't affect the play.

But the penalty is Toney's fault. His empty headed screwups have cost us at least 2 games.

I remember getting called repeatedly for ticky-tacky things in a flag football game. Then the middle linebacker beat me so when the play turned up field at the sideline, I clipped him square in the middle of his back and sent him squirreling out of bounds pure cheap shot. Thinking I might as well get my moneys worth since they’re going to tick tack all game. Guess what? I didn’t get called for that one.

fair assessment.

Kind of like.......do we really want to call a cheap pass interference in the endzone on a last-second hail mary?

****ed by Cheffers again. Everyone knew it was going to happen too. You may not have known how. But if we're being honest with ourselves, we all knew that a whacky Cheffers penalty would largely affect the outcome of this game. Again.

yep. and contrary to popular narrative, it's not because he sucks at his job......it's because he's actually very good at it.
