Chiefs Two things that made a difference last night - Page 3

First, the BS holding call on Pope when Jones broke a long run for a first down. That was as ticky tacky as it gets.

Second, on the onside kick, I don't think anyone touched it. They called illegal touching on Kendrick Lewis, but he didn't touch the ball until it went 10 yards. When the ball was on it's way, even the announcers said that looked like it might have gone through cleanly. Could that have been challenged and if won, would have wiped away the penalty?

Look, we were not going to win the game. I get it. Palko looked fun for about 24 minutes, then it all went to hell. But those two incidents really screwed us when we were actually moving the ball and possessing momentum.

I dunno. I was drinking. I was happy. But it ended almost exactly the way I described that it would. ****in' Chiefs.

How anyone can watch that onside kick and say that no one touched it is mind boggling. I guess it was just a gust of wind that changed the balls path.

Like I said, there was a lot of noise in the room and all I heard was that they called the touch on Lewis, when the replay clearly showed that he didn't touch it. I just wanted to know what the planet thought, cuz I wasn't about to search the game thread.

The ball was touched. Just not by Lewis.

And the holding call on Pope was pure BS.

But none of it matters, we were going to get smoked in the end anyway.

Pope's two penalties, the onside kick, the DJ lapse in coverage.
All momentum-changing/game-changing plays.
Most of which were mistakes.

Things tend not to go your way in other areas (like officiating) when you're shooting yourself in the foot already.

I'm still mad about the Gates PI.

Then you guys were on my case about it. So **** you.
