Blame the refs all you want but looking at the big picture they are not the reason for the loss.
Two 60yd plus TDs that Chase could have walked into the end zone, the catch on the 3&27 and the Chiefs offense staying in the locker room the entire second half were the reason for the loss.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not sure how the Refs get excused because we didn't play a perfect game and win despite them. Seems like you're looking for a way to excuse their part of the shit show. I'm NOT saying I don't agree with the parts you pointed out where our team ****ed up, but I'm not sure that's a reason to absolve the officials for calling a shitty game (too).
As for Fenton "calling him out", if that's such a terrible thing, why didn't it ****-over Brady and Manning all these years? It seems like even there it seems like certain players can get into official's faces and get them to look for things that they're whining about, but only a select few. That seems wrong too. All players should have equal access to air their grievances with the Zebras, not just a select few.
And if it was really a tough job, as tough as I think you're implying, wouldn't they reserve it to fulltime staff? Laugh at that all you want, but that's because you don't have a really good explanation for why the exceedingly rich sport can't make the people who officiate their product fulltime staff members.
