This was not on the refs

[Chiefspants]

Bob Sutton. Andy Reid.

These are the people who can cost us the playoffs.

oh but it is

it's your life's work

[BlackOp]

Hardly...just looking out for my fellow man.

I dont like the exploiting class....

The older I get..the more I've come to acknowledge that some are born to be exploited. You cant change natural order...and that they will fight against anyone trying to help them. It's a very bizarre cycle...

[Rivaldo]

I don't either.

So, ok let's be besties now

[Rivaldo]

It's fun to consider stuff.

Have a good weekend, mang.

It might have been the worst call of the game. Coincidentally, it was the last call of the game that led to 8 points. That's what makes that call worse than any of the previous others.

That's just it, that's the point that the whole 'it all evens out' crowd doesn't get.

The missed helmet-to-helmet didn't give KC points at the end of the game, hypothetically causing LA to lose...

Let me explain something to you, TinyE :

Those officials have earpieces in their ear, with voices from the NFL office in NY, and the people behind those voices watch every single play and instruct the refs on how they want the plays called.

The refs aren't 'terrible'; they're great employees who do exactly as they are told.

It is really this simple. Timing of the flag is everything. Too easy for incompetent officials to change the outcome in the blink of an eye. I don’t believe they do it deliberately but the officiating system and rules are too fragile for the NFL to be considered a fair sporting spectacle.
No wonder it is entertainment and not sport.

Did the refs make 2 corners guard guard the same guy and let the slot receiver run wide open?

The refs do what the voices in their earpieces tell them.

Every single play is scrutinized by the NFL office in NY, live as they happen. Every single game.

I remember a Patriots game where the game was stopped by the NFL office in NY for the officials to review.

Don't you think for a second that the officials are "incompetent" or that they "don't do it deliberately."

That's just plain foolish.

No but they failed to call OPI on the incomplete pass that was ruled a TD that led to the play where 2 corners guarded the same guy.


The play before that, they ruled DPI on an uncatchable ball.

If the 2pt play hadn't have worked, they would have kept throwing flags until LA got what they needed, just like the exact same back judge did @Oakland last year...

They do what the voices in their earpieces tell them to do, you ****ing rube.

Nothing is ever on the officials. Ever... Like the NFL that pays them, they're 100% honest and never purposely manipulate games to favor ratings and create drama. I read it on CP, it must be true.

I agree with refs throwing flags because Scandrick is a horrible DB who probably would have held Williams even if he didn’t **** up his assignment. You want to blame refs but make excuses for a shit defense.

[gold_and_red]

The worst cliche I hear from pundits on their high horses is that good teams overcome bad officiating. No they don’t, not if it is convenient DPI or DH in a critical game that decides which team is good and which one is bad.

Orlando Scandrick is gonna **** us out of a chance for a championship. Let that sink in.

Isn’t the Chiefs history littered with such illustrious game changers?
