Crybabies. Karma is not even close to making things right yet.

How many times have we seen Patrick get slammed like that and not gotten the call. I agree that it should have been called, but unless you're name is Brady, the refs are wildly inconsistent in calling those

I was about to post the same thing. Roughing the passer is a judgement call and the officials have been wildly inconsistent this year. I have seen ticky-tacky calls and body slams ignored. You never know when it will be called. :shrug:

I'll say this....

With the game being on the line, Chris Jones was very lucky he wasn't flagged for that slam.

I'm all for the un-pussification of the NFL, hard hits etc, but with the way refs have been calling RTP this year, a flag there would have given DEN a new set of downs on the KC 40yd line, putting them near FG range.

Not saying Chiefs would have lost but DEN could have easily sent the game into OT, and we'd all be flipping our shit over it. It wouldn't be the first time Jones did something foolish to cost the Chiefs at a critical point near the end of a game.

The Jones play, the refs should of called Russell down as in the grasp. They didn't so Jones had to bring him to the ground. Not sure what the defense is supposed to do in the situation other than that.

I noticed nobody mentioned that the only reason the donks were even in the game was due to several ticky tack calls against the Chiefs. One of which led to a first down on a busted ass 4th down attempt.

Yet again it’s the refs that cost the losing team the game. I personally like where they made it seem like they were the better team if not for “injuries” as if the people injured were any good to begin with.

They're gonna get us next year! Their interim coach even said so!

That was not a “ticky tack” call. It was a bonehead penalty by a defender who does some bonehead stuff.

Boo ****ing Hoo… We get screwed by the refs every other game.. Too bad, so sad..

One would think that the law of averages will apply one of these years, but the Last Place Denver Broncos are so bad, I just don't know anymore. LMAO

Lol. This is on the official Broncos site. I get it. It's go team rah rah shit, and they have every right to be homers on their own page, but the way this guy focuses on how the Donks were screwed, backstabbed, and betrayed into a loss by the NFL instead of them deserving the L because they suck at football is some rich ass shit.

I saw a clip/or some TV commentary and they were talking the defenders spinning guys to the ground so they wouldn't land on them with all their weight. Mahomes has been slammed like that and there was no penalty. Kelce too for that matter. I've seen QBs brought down across the league in similar fashion with no flags. These is the league flailing in an attempt to protect QBs.

Would you like some cheese with that whine you little Bronco bitches?

DISBAND THE FRANCHISE AND AWARD ALL OF THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO THE KC CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!

And these guys want to ignore the no call PI in the EZ that wasn't called which lead to a redzone INT and it changed the whole complexion of the game. So they can **** right off.

Whatevs...they can cry all they want, we've done that for years. When you are a bad team, things don't go your way. Hell, Pat had a pass batted down right back to him which he converted into a first down. That shit is the kind of luck you get when you are good.

This won't last forever. We keep ****ing around in these games against inferior opponents, sooner or later the Donks will beat us...BUT NOT THIS YEAR BITCHES!!

True what they say only 2 things come out of Colorado Steers and...

If you want the whole "protect the QB" thing to stand up, you've gotta blow those plays dead when they're in the grasp.

Jones had Wilson wrapped up.

The officials absolutely have to be quicker on whistles if they're going to call RTP like they are. Jones tried to hold him up for the whistle (like he did on the int that got reversed on the penalty) and the officials didn't blow the play dead timely enough.

Let them play or don't, but you have to pick a lane here.

The “full body weight” nonsense is what has made tackling the QB incomprehensible. People can’t hit or even partly land on the QB, so you see these spin-down tackles that are also supposed to be illegal. There’s no way to safely hit a QB anymore.

If you ask me Tony Siracusa, I think it was, was correct. If the defensive player’s wife can take the man laying on top of them then an NFL QB should be able to.

So much this. They forget about all the years of entitled special treatment they received. Not to mention all the blatant cheating.

Yup, pretty much handed the Donkeys a touchdown drive.

I am surprised it wasn't flagged but the refs should have blown the play over. Wilson wasn't going to get away with Jones having both hands around him.

Jones went easy on him, just making sure he didn't get away.

I noticed a ton of crying on FB, Insta and Reddit from people about these two calls/non-calls as if the league wants KC to have the #1 seed.

The issue is, the league directly handed us a loss to IND over a ticky tack penalty. And the league "allowed" us to lose tight games against BUF and CIN, both of which are vying for the #1 seed against us.

It just doesn't make any sense.

That was a biggie...could easily have been called.

While watching it, I was shocked the flag didn’t come out. Way lesser QB hits have been called.

The refs are very inconsistent with RTP. I have seen hits on QBs (especially Mahomes) that don’t get called and other hits that shouldn’t be RTPs that do get called.

This x1000. The Chiefs had him wrapped up except for his throwing arm below the elbow earlier in the game and Wilson literally threw the ball up in the air and their RB caught it for a short gain that should of been a sack. When the refs don't blow the whistle what's CJ supposed to do, let him throw it incomplete?" They haven't called 10 "intentional grounding" penalties all year even though there's usually 2-3 every game that could have been called.

I remember when the Chiefs sucked so bad that we would whine about the refs all the time. When your team sucks, you need all the breaks to go your way to win games. If the Broncos don't want games to be decided by the refs, perhaps they should play well enough that the refs have less of an impact.

(To be fair, we still have plenty of ref whiners around here, but that's a different story.)

And at least two "body slams" on Mahomes this year haven't been. **** off.

The competition committee HAS to look at how Roughing is called again. You can't tell pass rushers to not tackle QBs hard and then let QBs hang in there and throw the ball when they're not taken to the ground.

just trying to help...

I would also accept "Take the bitch QB down; no flags on the ground"

Frankly, I expected better from you, SNR.

What is Jones supposed to do when the refs refuse to blow the whistle?

Literally the drive before Wilson was tied up for a long time when the defender could have smoked him and it allowed him to pass it.

It’s the eternal refrain of loser mentality… “it’s all because of the refs…”

Football games are long with many chances to alter the outcome. The final score, the standings, the 15 games in a row streak. That doesn’t happen because of a single BS penalty.

And the penalty on Sutton was BS, but regardless, your team lost because it sucks. Chiefs were totally beatable yesterday. Good teams win ugly games. Bad teams find a way to lose.

Exactly this.

If they want defenders to not throw QBs to the ground and not tackle them with their full body weight falling on them, they HAVE to blow the whistle for in the grasp sooner.

When you are used to getting calls go your way, it’s even harder to deal with when those calls stop as you feel entitled to them.

The whistle should have been blown well before that, but it wasn't, because the refs were giving Russell a chance...

We could go through the horrible missed DPI before the play before Patty was picked in the endzone, or the ridiculous PI call to extend their drive. We could also show blatant holding by their Oline on critical plays that were allowed. So guess what Donk, **** OFF, 15 straight dipshits...

This sounds bad, but the only solution is flags or two hand touch.

Or don’t call anything unless hits are to the head or late. (The correct option).

I’m being dead serious.

Ball would have been placed on the 1 and we run it in. Cost us 7 points. Well 6 when the kick is bad but still. Officiating was equally poor.

We have Patrick Mahomes and they don’t.

Our fans are 10000% of this same loser mentality. Just look at the GDT anytime there’s a questionable call that doesn’t go in our favor.

If Mahomes didn’t pull so many rabbits out of a hat, half of CP would be talking about our record ex-officiating.

I can fully understand being apoplectic about the offensive PI call. That was horrible. But the refs are entirely to blame for the RTP situation at the end. Those ****ers whistled Mariota down in that playoff game against the Chiefs in a millisecond. Ridiculous that Wilson gets 2 seconds while in the grasp to potentially just throw a prayer into the air.

Every time I look at the DJ strip sack I honestly think it’s the worst call in any sport I’ve ever observed. I don’t get it.

sillay donkay

Yes. It does have to be whistled dead sooner. If the defensive player has the QB in their grasp they need to whistle it dead. If not you put the defense in a huge bind. Throw the QB down it’s a penalty, tackle with body weight it’s a penalty. Hold him and the QB has a chance to break free for a play, hold him and the QB can possibly get the ball off for an incompletion.

You should definitely avoid any GDT on here then.

1. Need to abolish the X% body weight on the QB primarily because it's too vague and called differently from crew to crew. If it's a legitimate fundamental tackle that the QB isn't picked up and driven into the ground, then there shouldn't be a flag.

2. The incidental touching a helmet or facemask when swiping at the ball should be abolished. This will not cause injury, and again ticky tacky when it determines the outcome of a game.

3. If Jones wasn't trying so hard to NOT tackle Wilson too hard, then he would have never got the pass off. When he had Wilson wrapped up the whistle should have been blown immediatly as a sack. The refs failed and Wilson throws a desperation pass while in the grasp of Jones.

Ref 1- May knock some sense into him
Ref 2- I doubt it
NY Ref -**** the multi-backstabbing bitch

The only one that I can recall that compares was the pass interference no call a few years back with the Rams and Saints.

I hadn't seen that replay of the Jones sack until now, if you notice he has him in the grasp at the 35 and it was around the 29 that Russ tries to get away so he gets body slammed.

That is on the refs for not blowing the whistle while Russ was going back for 6 yds.

The guy got a pass off after being in Jones’s grasp for 3 seconds… if the play isn’t blown dead, the defense has to be given some latitude to make the tackle.

Well, if you were to ask them they would have either missed them or claim they were not penalties. This is why I try me best to not inject my Chiefs bias regarding the refs. I realize that fans always think the refs are against their team and miss calls for the other team. It’s as certain as the sun rising that the refs screwed over the losing team and the winning team’s fans overlook penalties their team committed that weren’t called. Honestly only the OPI on Sutton was one that I really think they messed up on.

We legit have threads on here talking about how specific refs have it out for us.

Exactly. Play should have been, and almost always is, blown dead way before the body slam.

Put yourself in that refs shoes for a minute.

Can you see a scenario whereby you hold your whistle, Jones finishes the play and your first reaction is to reach into your pocket?

Because at that point you KNOW the reason that tackle happened was you not blowing the play dead. You just can't turn around and throw a flag there. It would be such a ridiculous approach to officiating.

It would be akin to not blowing a play dead for offsides, the when the OL tries to block the guy that got an early start and holds him to keep his QB from getting killed, you throw a holding flag on him.

I can't think of a time I've seen that happen. I'm sure it has, but it's just god-awful officiating if/when it does. You can't throw a flag on a play that YOU created.

It would have been a terrible call. You either blow it dead, or let it play out with your flag in your pocket. Thankfully, he let it play out with his flag tucked away firmly.

If I'm remembering correctly, there was another play where the Chiefs had Wilson in their grasp and it should have been blown dead, but wasn't and it allowed him to get rid of the ball.

I don't give a shit if that OPI call was bullshit. There have been plenty of questionable DPI calls against us this year.

Now imagine you let that play go, you flag Jones and you extend the drive for the Broncos....in Arrowhead. If they thought it was bad for Cheffers....

It was an 'interception' (I think from Bolton) that was reversed due to an illegal hands to the face penalty (I think on Williams).

And yeah, really bad job by the officials there. In the old world, I have no problem with them swallowing the whistle because it wasn't impossible that Wilson could've gotten out of there and some of the NFL's most exciting plays have started that way.

But in THIS era, with these silly RTP penalties, you just have to blow the whistle there. You can't let the play go UNLESS you're not gonna call RTP if these guys finish.

And we have no way of knowing if they will/won't until we blast a guy and take a potentially game altering penalty in the process.

Its the inconsistency between crews and even the internal inconsistency WITHIN crews that make this such a problem. The NFL has created a real problem here and they have nobody to blame but themselves for it.

It’s different because the refs actually do hate the Chiefs imo

Yeah...and that penalty they called on Williams was some bullshit as well. Suddenly the .25 second that Williams index finger touched his face mask was worthy of a penalty. Like that doesn't happen a billion times every other game.

Clay is the Weird Al of Chiefs Planet. This is his wheelhouse, not mine

Clay is Weird Al if you got him from Wish.

I'm just glad that Chris Jones didn't use any harsh language when he tackled Wilson.

And this is why the refs suck. Some call it quick and others let it go since so many qb's like Josh Allen escape 3 guys grabbing him.

This right here. He was completely wrapped up by Jones for what felt like an eternity. I kept waiting for the whistle. I was like wtf they were giving him extra time to wiggle out of it. It felt like Jones was waiting on whistle too and he probably was like no? Ok **** it.

Yeah, it was annoying. There were two plays like that where Wilson was clearly stopped in the grasp but flung the ball out and if the ball had been caught the Broncos fans would think it was a great play. So if Wilson is still allowed to throw the ball then Jones is still allowed to bring him to the ground.

/Thread

What the **** are they mad about? We advance and they get a little better spot on the picks they still have.

Imagine KC losing 15 in a row to a division rival, with that 15th win being in a game that you felt was officiated in favor of your opponent. Pretty sure you wouldn’t care about draft position at all.

One can only imagine......


ROFL

And if it wasn't called we still win the game because we are the Chiefs and they are the Donks...

True. Not denying that at all.

Yip. Exactly.

Remember when Broncos fans were upset that they would get all the calls with Peyton?

Me neither.

The refs were helping their stupid asses by not stopping the play so that Russ had a chance to get the ball out and these ****sticks don't even realize it.

I cannot wait until the same thing happens to Mahomes against Denver and he just blindly throws it backwards up over his head for a first down or TD. And these same clowns will utterly melt down that the whistle should have been blown.

Refs gave breaks to both sides in this game. Chiefs won clean.
