How about the timing of the calls, still no bias towards KC? Try to answer as an observer of the game, remove the fandom for a few.

So I own this website/social media outlet called “The Pin Doctors,” which is about wrestling 90% of the time, but I’ve been just gravitating to posting whatever I want to discuss nowadays. I’ve got it up to 33K followers on Facebook and in the last 28 days, my articles have reached 7.5 million people… it’s getting huge and I don’t know what to do about it. Anyways, a new thing I’ve been doing the past month is honoring sports referees and giving them shout-outs… holy cow there was a longing for THAT community in terms of wanting recognition for what they do… And I don’t blame them. It’s a thankless job. But yeah, every story I’ve posted on a ref this past month has been a hit.
So naturally, last night, I wrote one of these ref tributes to Ronald Torbert… and holy cow I’ve never upset people so badly… these Cincinnati fans are CRAZY. People are either in that thread laughing their asses off or pissing and moaning. If you want to read the comments, I’ll post the link for you. You may need to follow the page first to see comments. I don’t know what my settings are. HERE IS THE LINK: https://www.facebook.com/10002051431...e8wml/?app=fbl HERE IS WHAT I WROTE IN THE ARTICLE: I’d like to give a well-deserved, long-overdue shout-out to NFL referee, Ronald Torbert!! Ronald began his officiating journey in 2010 as a line-judge and since then has made consistent gains in his career. In 2014 he became an NFL referee! He is one of only eight African-American referees in NFL history, after Johnny Grier, Mike Carey, Jerome Boger, and Don Carey; he preceded Shawn Smith, Adrian Hill, and Tra Blake. Prior to this year’s postseason, Torbert’s best accomplishment was being named the alternate referee for Super Bowl LIII!!! And well, he’s had an even BETTER year this year… On January 25, 2022, Torbert was named the referee for Super Bowl LVI. Just tonight, he officiated the AFC Championship game between the KC Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. Ronald attained his law degree from Michigan State University and attended Harvard Law School earning a Juris Doctor degree. Way to accomplish your dream of officiating in the Super Bowl, Ronald! You have reached the pinnacle! |

That's exactly what I'm trying to understand. Which calls are we talking about? I assume it's the ones that were called, and not the ones that were missed, especially all the missed holding calls on the Bengals OL and the DB's who were raping Kelce all night?

They can't name anything other than a missed holding call or a block in the back.
Calls get missed all game. It's the calls that remove turnovers and TD's that are detrimental. The Chiefs got many of those.... Anyone complaining about the refs here is reaching for excuses. |

Oh, think I know which one then... saw someone complaining earlier who made it sound like Burrow got hit out of bounds and "how can you call one and not the other", and I couldn't even recall him rushing to the sidelines at all.

Seriously? Please highlight specific ones, not just your generic response. Outside of possibly the block in the back on the Moore return show instances where KC benefited from calls that the Bengals did not.

Crying about the referees is the domain of losers. It’s loser mentality. Always has been. Either you got the job done or you didn’t.

It's hilarious how 31 other teams' fans think everything is rigged for the Chiefs, while some here say it's all rigged against them.

The irony is that the bengals probably don’t beat the ravens but for a missed blatant block in the back against the ravens on the 98 yard fumble return |
