But I am talking about hits in general, from DB, LB's or even that stupid call against the offense for running into the defense and then him flop on the ground like it was a basketball game.

I watch a ton of football each and every Sunday, whether it's at home with the Sunday Ticket or at sports bars. I rarely see guys faking it like in basketball. I agree, BTW. I'm a big basketball fan, especially a Lakers fan, and the flopping there that goes on is disgusting.
But the bottom line is this: Bad calls happen every single Sunday to nearly every single team. Good teams overcome bad calls, bad teams don't.
If that call sent the Chiefs on a downward spiral, then I'd say that collectively, they have a defeatist attitude and loser's mentality.
One bad call by the refs shouldn't upset 45 guys and a coaching staff to the point of self-destruction.
