"All-star" officiating crew for Rams-Chiefs game

If I had one thing to blame it would be the Chiefs themselves; passing in the Colts game when Marcus Allen was tearing them up on the ground, replacing Gannon with GrBac against the Broncos, continued throwing the ball and no deep safety help against the Colts, being unable to score more than 18 points against the Steelers, etc. The Chiefs have had a big hand in all of their losses.

I am not going to let the failures of the past ruin my enjoyment of the Chiefs now.

What about the refs? Can they ruin it for you now? Given the chace, they will.

I think there needs to be an investigation on Rams paying off the refs. Blatant missed calls and a wink from a ref. I think there is a conspiracy.

Why the **** would ANYONE believe that "the Rams paid off the refs"?

have you been paying attention?

The refs were HANDPICKED by the NFL because these refs call the games the way the NFL wants them called.

The refs have these ear pieces in their ear...The league office in NY watches every single play...and communicates to the refs on the field. There was a Patriots game last year where the league actually stopped play on the field to initiate a replay - the order came from NY.

So, every eye in the football world was watching on Monday Night. Including the league office. The refs had their earpieces in...

If ANYTHING had happened, official-wise, that the league didn't 100% cosign to, they would stop the game to "make it right".

Quit committing stupid penalties and things will change. The bias (unconscious or not) will change. When your team is at the top of the league in penalties per game, the referees are going to keep looking for it. It's like driving a red sports car and complaining about the police giving you speeding tickets.

Only I can choose to ruin my own enjoyment. This might be the last QB that I live to see for the Chiefs, why would I want to ruin that?

1) Why? It seems with the cash these officials are getting paid, the lack of bias they claim to have, and knowing that there's a hold (on the line) on every play, why don't they start doing their job?

2) What if got you to the top is bullshit? IOW, what if our folks aren't doing anything more than any other team does?

3) If you truly believe it's subliminal (not on purpose), not suggested/directed/nudged from NFL NYC, perhaps it's time for the NFL to look into something better than the current officiating paradigm. Don't the fan deserve a balanced and unbiased officiating experience?
