Shit, just give the media the same, "I take full responsibility and we'll get it fixed" bullshit that you've been saying all year while never fixing things. That's better than continuing to make it as if it was a bad call, or even a close one.
And I'm not sure what games you're watching, but we GET a lot of calls as well. Everyone here forgets them and focuses on when we get ****ed.
When the team starts acting like the fanbase when it comes to refs, it's a problem.

He wasn't remotely a yard offsides, JFC.
You seem to act like officiating is good and there aren't calls damn near every game that effect the outcome.
Sorry but if it wasn't a common practice to give a warning there, Reid wouldn't have been livid about it.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid acknowledged that receiver Kadarius Toney lined up offside on the would-be game-winning play in Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills that was called for a penalty, but also reiterated his assertion that officials typically warn coaches before throwing a flag for those types of violations.
“You see it on both sides (of the ball),” Reid said Monday. “Whether it’s a defensive end lining up in the neutral zone sometimes or that. You just give the head coach a heads up and, in our case, we tell ’em.
“And then if they get called … listen … you were warned. That’s how it’s worked over the years and that’s what I was really trying to get across.”

Reid admitted Monday that Toney was not lined up properly and didn’t check with down judge Mike Carr before the snap — something Reid said the player normally does. The coach added that his criticisms were not meant to serve as an excuse or blame the loss on the officials.
“We’ve always had a good working relationship with these guys and that’s the important part,” he said. “They know when they tell me something … I’m gonna go address the guy like right now and make sure that it gets changed.”
Reid said penalties like this one were among several things Kansas City needs to clean up.
“Do we need to line up right? Yeah. We do.” Reid said. “We’ve gotta take care of that part and not put it in the officials’ hands.”
Andy Reid on the Chiefs' lack of attention to details, especially in late-game situations: "I get paid to teach. I'm going to continue to each. The players are going to continue to work."
