I'm going to respond in this thread just like I did in the other one, which you've obviously ignored...


If they had called illegal formation and offsides the penalties would offset. Still no play. No game sealing interception.

I'll respond to you, again, that we know.

But what did it not being called offsetting cost us other than the Int that helped them and not us?

I won't even ask what seeing one but not the other from an official that's there to watch BOTH SIDES of the line might to suggest.

I know, I know, it's a hard job...

I don't even understand what you're getting at I guess.

Offsetting doesn't help us at all. Same outcome. No int.

Well there's the positive yardage they gained because they chose to only see our flaw and turn a blind eye to theirs.

And perhaps the point you choosing to overlook is that, in "fairness", the official should have either called both or called neither since both were lined up illegally. And if it's true that Ford had been there "all night" (some are suggesting exactly that), and the LT had been lined up like that "all night" (clearly illegally), perhaps the more fair action is to call neither, interception happens, we're on our way to the SB.

But defend the NFL all you want, I chose not to and I chose to say that those added yards they were given could have been the difference. We'll never know, will we?

GOOOOOOOO CHIEFS! (next year) (again)
