We also benefited by them allowing our corner to be hands. If it was officiated like the Tampa Superbowl...we lose. Alot of contact on deep passes they let go

I don’t know. Yesterday seemed like a gift between the van noy penalty, then another penalty right after to give us 30 free yards. Then the zay flowers taunting followed by the fumble and then Lamar endzone INT and we still only won by a score.

Sometimes that ends up costing us in the regular season, but refs absolutely let things go a little more in the postseason. It's almost like they coach our guys to win in the playoffs rather than the regular season...

Some of those flags were pretty weak, especially in a playoff game. But the taunting flag was legit. Incredibly dumb play by Flowers in that moment. And we did commit DPI on that INT that wasn't flagged. But the refs effed up both ways; ultimately BAL just committed more dumb frustration penalties than KC.

Clear hold that sprung Lamar for his big run that led to a TD as well.

It's almost as if refs miss stuff, and the good teams find ways to overcome it.

Which one? Van Noy head butting Kelce in front of the ref?

Or Clowney going helmet to helmet with Pat after the ball was thrown?

Instead they went all thug-like acting as if this Chiefs team is a house of cards and would crumble if you just got though with it.

I think it was a completely wrong approach.

I also ****ing hate Tony Romo and the constant doom and gloom coverage of how the Chiefs should be worried. Oh I can't believe they deferred and elected to give the Ravens the ball. No credit given for the Chiefs walking into that environment and taking the crowd out of that game after forcing a quick three and out and scoring a TD.

It was like little brother was all emotional and big brother just ****ing shoved him to the side.

And if you're going to call those "weak" while saying "we did commit PI on that INT that wasn't flagged" you're completely full of ****ing shit.
