I don't think the officiating caused the Chiefs to lose last night. They had some shit calls go against them, but I don't think it's "Biased".

Because you’re a ****ing idiot that thinks turning a blind eye and refusing to look at it critically somehow makes you smarter or better. All of the evidence has been provided. You’re choosing to ignore it.

Congrats.

So the Chiefs lost last night because of the officials?

We had 2 chances to win/tie and we blew it. That’s it.

Even if the league was trying to help LA, we still had those chances and ****ed up.

So that makes the league helping LA ok?

It’s like you ****ing morons can’t see both at the same time.

There were a few terrible calls and no calls. There were also a handful of incredibly stupid penalties by us.

It didn’t matter in the end. It was in our hands and we blew it twice.

Yea if you’re going to ignore it completely I guess not.

The missed false start that would’ve probably led to a FG as opposed to a TD in a 3 pt game “didn’t matter in the end”?

No they lost for multiple reasons, and officiating was one. The fact that the officiating was one is unacceptable, especially considering everything that surrounded it (big market, home team, fire/shooting “rallying around the community” storyline, All-Star crew). Me and Detoxing called this in the GDT before the game. You expect me to believe something so obvious happening is a coincidence?

If they simply call that BLATANT false start on 3rd & goal that’s probably enough alone to be the difference. Yea we could’ve won the game anyways, but we shouldn’t have to. It should be so clearly lopsided. I’m sorry, you can give them a pass repeatedly, but I won’t.

The tight officiating on the DBs early in the game absolutely changed how our CBs played, yes.

Nelson and Scandrick are physical corners. They're not guys who are going to run with Woods or Cooks; they're guys who are going to succeed by getting into their bodies and muddying them up.

You have a crew out there that's willing to let physical play slide and Nelson and Scandrick will be MUCH more effective. That's how they've been effective all season; crews just don't call games that tight. This crew felt the need to play to their 'All-Star' status, IMO. They felt the need to call this game extremely tight, especially in the secondary. They wanted to be noticed, IMO.

That was especially damaging for our #2 and #3 CBs, IMO. Fuller, OTOH, has the physical skills to run with guys and I think he played a much more effective game than the other 2.

I think the outcome would've absolutely been different had the game been called differently. I also think the game would've been much different had basic shit like false starts from Havenstein been called.

So yes, the officiating was absolutely a factor in the outcome of the game. The sole determining factor? No, probably not. But another brick in the wall for sure.

Somebody mentioned it last night, but it sure is funny how we raerely get illegal contact, defensive holding, or PI with the weapons we have.

I guess teams are just doing THAT good of a job against the toughest group to cover in the league.

Chiefs opponents have been called for 5 DPIs and 4 defensive holdings, which is higher than league average.

Given the fact that we’re 8th in passing attempts and we have a ridiculous set of weapons and a QB that make you defend the entire field this means jack shit. It’s not surprising we’d have more than the league average. If we didn’t, then it would be REALLY obvious.

They got more than us. Most not have been fair. Conspiracy!
