Chiefs Two things that made a difference last night

InChiefsHeaven · 11-22-2011, 06:27 AM

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.

That holding call was legit. You guys are homers.

We are a lot of things......but not homers.

Is this sarcasm?

If so, lol.

If not, and if you have watched the NFL at all.... then you know that so long as guys keep their hands inside, they don't call holding. The cliche is that holding can be called on every play....because it's true.

He drove him 10 yards backwards. He dominated him. It was a borderline call that doesn't get called 9 out of 10 times. Heck, it doesn't get called 99 out of 100 times.

Then on the subsequent drive after the holding call, Hali is blatantly held yet no call.

Look, until Hali, Todd, Pioli, or Hunt make a public deal of it, the officials are going to let it ride. Even if it costs us an USLC call or two, sooner of later the press will "review" what he was so angry about and have to say, "well, he was held". And if not, what's it going to hurt, the other teams are putting point on the board no matter what. There's no real down-side to bringing light to the problem.

As for the holding call, I'm sorry, was HIS jersey left ripped? Nope! You'd have to look on the sideline at our defense to see that - sans any holding calls.

If anything, just call it both ways - sort of like baseball, give both pitchers the same strike zone...

It was, but it was not a blatant hold. A lot of these kinds of holds the refs don't call. I'm by no means saying there are NFL conspiracies, but I think the human nature in refs always deprives the inferior team of benefit of the doubt against elite teams.

Seriously, I didn't think anyone touched the ball on the onside. The replays didn't seem to show it. But I had people over and there was a lot of talking going on. Did I miss something? Why didn't they challenge that?

It hit Greenwood's leg. The ball changed direction, it was pretty obvious.
