Offsides reality

[tredadda]

Looking at the offsides on Toney and the “Let them play” mentality a few things stick out.

1. He was offsides and like it or not, that is inexcusable on his part. Toney should never line up offsides…….ever. That’s a Pee Wee league type of mistake. He didn’t just start playing football this year. Pre snap penalties are the worst because they are completely preventable. He should have never left it up to a ref to decide one way or another, especially with the quality of reffing league wide lately.

2. I get the “Let them play” mindset and not letting a questionable call impact a game. But it can’t be “Let them play” when convenient and when not calls should be made. Look at the SB when KC benefited from a penalty that essentially sealed the game. Had the refs swallowed the whistle like what was wanted today KC might well have lost the SB. We benefited from that penalty. But today we want to yell at the clouds because it was called. Both times the penalty was called, just this time it went against KC.

3. Even after the penalty they still had time to pick up the yards and score a TD and is systemic of how the offense has played for large portions of the year. This team has a championship caliber defense, but the offense is not what we all expect. That might mean an early exit this year. Simply put if the offense hasn’t figured it out by now I question whether they will.

It is what it is.

Gotta keep the division races going until end of the season.

I wish I had a dollar for every time a WR has been standing on the broadcast imposed line of scrimmage in the last five years.

This back and forth is like a debate by folks that have not watched football since the 1990's.

If you have been watching NFL football in recent years it is clear that on ball WRs have been lining up on the broadcast LOS so much that even fans that hunt for penalties have not complained.

The plain as day fact is that nobody watching the play live saw something that they expected to be flagged.

There is a good chance that this bullshit about where WRs line up is going to generate a lot of social media reaction during games the rest of this season and into the playoffs so that the broadcast will have to say something about it.

It may be fun seeing Tony Romo have marbles in his mouth trying to justify a flag not being thrown after he went apeshit badmouthing KT19.

I agree. But let's not forget the "pivot" they'll take. "Well it wasn't egregious enough" (these idiots subscribe to the "a little pregnant" theory), "they can't call everything or they game would last 20 hours with no scores", "they were letting them play", "there's an xyz on every play", the usual bullshit shade they provide for officials when they don't make a call.

NFL officials and people like Romo are:

I think it’s becoming very apparent as this has materialized that Toney is an idiot… line up right and check in… but the refs calling this shit at that kind of moment is like punishing jaywalking on an empty street.

Sam Howell talked with rgIII and they both think it’s weird the chiefs never got a warning

The clip they showed on Chiefs The Franchise shows Toney checking in.

The only reason the NFL is making a big deal of this is because two high profile people in the NFL called-out HQ's game-steerers. HQ will both get their pound of flesh, **** the Chiefs more in the future, and won't ever talk about the vast majority of calls that pissoff the plaeyers, teams and fans because, well, they know they're wrong and don't have any intention of fixing their very profitable scheme.

If anybody disagrees, they need to start with explaining why Roger "Vegas" Goodell never said a word about the previous week's flagrant missed DPI?

Roger Goodell is a ****ing piece of shit, but he's the owner's piece of shit, so this game manipulation won't stop.
