Touchdown vs. Chiefs Was an Officiating Mess

And it all means nothing. Sucks, but we always find new ways to shit in our pants in big games.

Seriously - if people truly believe this is rigged why watch anymore - the day I believe that there’s an agenda I’m done - I watched WWF when I was a child, don’t even know if it’s around anymore - why? Because it’s fake an I’m 50 years old.

I'm done watching with any real emotion/expectations...I backed off the Chiefs after the 1st quarter of the Rams game. If the games arent fair...there is no point pretending they are and being upset afterwords.

I, still, have never seen such a barrage of flags to start a game...that was surreal.

I knew, at that point, that this season will end like the others...so tonight's call then no call wasn't surprising.

I would advise hardcore Chiefs fans to temper their expectations and just enjoy PMII. NFL corporate cant take that away from you...unless they have a TMZ video they are sitting on.

The NFL has become where the officials, late in the games...are more dramatic than the actual "sport". You have to sit on your hands and wait to see if they screw you or not..."are they going to call that obvious push off with the game on the line"?

"YAY...the officials let us win".....over it.

And if you and others are naive enough to think a billion dollar business is as pure as the driven snow I dont know what to tell you.You know legally they can rig it if they want. The nfl is subject to the same laws as wrestling not baseball for example. But keep believing its pure and that billionaires would leave the results to chance.

Well, I'll say this... the moment that I become convinced it's rigged, I'm out.

[Rain Man]

Conspiracy theories aside, even if you think the game is pure as snow, it's a huge blow to the league when games are decided by arbitrary officiating calls. Why did they call one penalty and not the other? The entire outcome of the game changed not because of anything the players did, but because of two very arbitrary decisions by officials. That's bad for the sport.

It's like when Folgers went from 16 oz of coffee in a can...to 12 oz. They kept the container the same size and just put less in it..hoping no one would notice. They are hoping the public doesn't piece together these last 5-6 weeks and realize there is a pattern of steering games.

NFL corporate thinks their average fan is a gullible moron...

Then we should all root on teams from NY, Chicago, and LA then. Is the NFL the only dirty league then? I would think that the others would learn from the NFL - NBA as well - Knicks are awesome every year just like the Bulls and Lakers - wait - they suck just like the Jets haven’t been good in forever - the Giants, come on they suck more than there good - the Bears haven’t good in forever until this year - maybe we need to just look in the mirror and realize we aren’t that good - as homers we love to think that we are better than everyone else and everyone is out to get us.

I haven't given up on the NFL but I have on the NBA. No the NBA doesn't guarantee the Lakers being great every year. But it is much harder to get star treatment at a small market team. And you can't win it all in the NBA without star treatment.

Look at a list of the last 20 or 30 winners. Sure Cleveland. Detroit is there somewhere.

But almost everybody else is either a mega market like LA or at least a big market like San Antonio.

And LeBron had to go to Miami to get his first title.

Durant had to leave OKC.

I moved to Northern California a little after the Kings did so followed rooted for them for a while.

But after seeing how they got reffed against the Kobe Lakers in a game 7, I swore off small market NBA teams.

As far as the Homer comment.
When I end up watching two teams where I don't particularly care about the outcome, I often think a lot about the reffing. It frequently isn't symmetric.

But Peyton didn't have to leave Indy to get a title.

Mahomes doesn't guarantee KC a title but if he stays healthy our odds are very favorable.

The NBA has already been busted for the officials fixing games...it's strange to me that some people, here, forget that fact.

How they wired their brains, against overwhelming visual evidence, that it couldn't possibly be happening in the NFL is straight-up denial....especially when they've had Vegas betting odds for decades. How they rationalize this into a honest..and "no way could be corrupt" situation is bizarre. It's a multi-BILLION dollar racket...

How has the NBA been busted? Are you talking about the Tim Donaghy stuff? So by “busted” you mean a convicted felon making unsubstantiated allegations about his former employer?

Your burden of proof might just be lower than mine.

You cant stop a team in the RZ and have the officials keep gifting them additional opportunities.

It would've been 4th down if no DPI call. Still have to stop them again. Or if refs don't miss helmet to helmet, have to stop them 4 times from the 4 yard line instead of just 2 plays with missed call.

I dont watch football media... but I'm guessing the end of the game and officiating was never taken to task or even mentioned. Just glossed over with a sea of LAC hype while ignoring the real reason why they won.

But you said NFL network talking heads get their propaganda from NFL in NY. All the hype for LAC and OAK was how you knew this was coming. What gives?
[QUOTE=BlackOp;13964980]

Ravens have no idea how bad they are about to get screwed...they dont follow the AFCW so are in the dark about the LA express agenda. I'm sure they enjoyed watching the Steelers get hosed on a National broadcast (as did everyone in the world)...but haven't quite put the pieces together on how this is going to effect them too. LAC cant lose another game and get the #1 seed...KC gets the Raiders at home in the final week and I hope the NFL isn't brazen enough to take 3 TDs off the board in that one.

You like posting other fans' comments as "evidence." Why no comments about their thoughts on the refs? Cause they thought for the most part it was slanted towards the Chiefs even though the best outcome for them would be a LAC loss and then clinch a spot today with other losses so LAC has little to play for?

They tried to do this same thing with the Raiders in 2016...crappy team that out of nowhere (with a new stadium in play) suddenly become good. Karma and divine intervention took that sham out with a broken leg on Christmas. It was the only sack given up by their LT all season...very apropos...and wouldn't be surprised is something similar happens to the Chargers. Not wishing it...just saying...you reap what you sow.

The Dallas game was on Thanksgiving, dummy. A home game for Dallas.
That's how you get a good record in the NFL: beat the bad teams, there is a lot of them. 2015 Raiders were 7-9, their best record in forever. High picks and a great year by Carr the next year. Chargers won 9 of 12 to finish last year. Some times teams can carry it over. What's your next hot take? Cleveland getting it rigged up next year?
Why did the NFL abandon OAK last year? They prop them up before relocating, then announce, forget about them, then you say they will prop them up again. When are they going to do that? Next year? If they are in LV next year? The new stadium in 2 years? Can't wait for your playoff picks thread this year, you sure nailed them last year...
