Hell, the officials could have called MORE penalties on KC than they did Sunday, I recall several instances where I told my wife we got away with no calls - DB's holding jerseys and Wylie (I think) absolutely tackling a pass rusher.
As much as you don't like it, several of the calls that went against us were the right call - but add the few that were poor calls at inopportune times to the others and you have people like yourself that chalk it up to RIGGED.

Yeah, I saw someone point out 4 calls in the game, but two were pretty obvious. One DPI was horrible, but the whole uncatchable thing is missed a decent amount. And I didn't see the dual holdings, and saw someone say the illegal hands to the face was hard enough that the receiver had to adjust his helmet mid-route. There was also a missed offsides and the encroachment call.
It's a convenient slope that "holding like that happens every play" or other vague rationalizations when it comes to letting them play.
The 3rd down DPI was the worst of it, IMO, in terms of calling a penalty when there clearly wasn't one, minus not seeing the replays of the dual holding calls.
After that, it's just biased reaching to fulfill a theory.
And like I've said in this thread already, I really don't know WTF to believe in terms of if and how games are influenced and to what extent. To believe BlackOps is to believe a pretty widespread conspiracy that most likely involves players, if entire weeks of the season are suddenly rigged with upsets.
End of the day though, we can guess and debate how deep it goes or if at all, but the NFL certainly doesn't help with the total lack of accountability... and it doesn't even matter to me why games are completely ruined, just that they have been.
