I have NEVER seen this much crying in my lifetime

I suspect there wouldn't have been nearly the same level of crying if it weren't for the push out of bounds, even if many are now scouring game footage to prop up their rigging narrative.

If Burrow throws a pick 6 to end it or Mahomes throws to a wide open Kelce 40 yards down field for the TD, no one is talking about the refs.

Yeah. The (legit) push was, most of i think, the instigator because it led directly to the GWF. There's probably 50% less chatter if the game ends any way other than a flag being thrown.

For some people, the flag is a irrelevant because it was legit. For far too many in this social media age, it's gasoline to a spark.

We were similar with the Dee Ford offsides. Most everyone agreed that he was a dumbass and that it was the right call, BUT we really wished it hadn't been called.

My complaint about that call is that they didnt call it any of the preceding times Ford lined up offsides. Should have, but let it go. So then Brady throws a game sealing INT and then, only then, does that flag come out.

It's not just the penalty, which was correct, it was the selective enforcement.

There is no corollary with the late hit on Mahomes. They werent blasting him out of bounds all game, having it go uncalled, then got called for it that one time when it was most crucial.

On that last scramble, it actually looked like #91 for the Bengals may have lined up in the neutral zone and may have even jumped early. It wouldn’t have mattered much since we would have netted 5 yards either way, but they may have let that one go because it was at a crucial time.
