Roughing the Brady
 

That's what it really came down too....the same call Mahomes didn't get extended their drive. We stopped them on 3rd down and it would have ended the game. But roughing the Brady was called. Even the announcers said it was bullshit.

Saints feel the same way.

Don’t worry. Sterratore covered for his guy like a good NFL lackey and said it was because the ref did t have a good angle on it.

Saints got ****ed way worse than we did. We still had a chance to shut it down and they decided to call Ford for lining up offsides. It was a heartbreaking loss. We had them stopped twice. Once the Refs bailed them out and once we ****ed ourselves.

Actually, I believe he said he shouldn't have thrown the flag because he didn't have the angle. Either way, Dee Ford making the most pop Warner league football mistake ever cost this team the game.

Eric Beery ...FU

A Superbowl courtesy of NFL officiating.

The line? Why bother.

Put your money on the yellow flag monkeys, the NFL way.

The league doesn't want a midwest team in the SB.

They want the east and west coast markets.

Funny I said the same thing before the game .

LA Big Market
NE Big Market
KC not so big
NO not so big

Funny how NO and KC both had their games won except the Refs....

The man talking in his earpiece was sure it happened...

In before NFL purists say:

1) It's a hard job.
2) It could have gone both ways.
3) The shadow hit his head.
4) It's really a hard job.
5) Hey, it was one bad call.
6) It looked like a hit to me, the NFL would never lie...

I don't know how you throw a flag when you don't even have the angle to see it.

Gene would have gotten his index card out.

It was bad call but the non-call on berry interfering with Gronk on a subsequent play kinda made up for it. Then the really obvious offensive PI on the long pass to the guy going down the left sidelines to set up the final KC touchdown...

Tom Brady is tied for the record for playoff wins at Arrowhead Stadium.

Bow down to the GOAT.

I mean it was pretty great when the Patriots had 3 questionable calls all go their way right after the Chiefs took the lead.

Have you seen the video clip of the ref fist bumping Brady in the ass?

"I got you Tommy". /fist bump ass

I caught that right before the first play.

Do we really need to see it to justify our feelings?

It happened.

Would love to hear the official explanation. That goes well beyond a "mistake." A mistake is not seeing something and, therefore, not calling it. A mistake IS NOT not seeing something and assuming it must have happened. That's a complete fabrication. Not sure what leads one to call something like that.

I too thought the Berry thing was a make up non-call, but the truth of the matter is that the phantom call in Brady's favor gave the Patriots an extra possession, and that possession resulted in a touchdown. The Berry call was only one play during that free extra possession. So it didn't really even out, because the Patriots won as a result of that free drive.

Having said that, it was generally a well-called game. The phantom roughing was one blunder that happened at a generally benign point in the game, so it's unfortunate. I'm not going to blame the loss on that one bad call. It's just a bit frustrating that Mahomes took the same hit earlier and more blatantly, and it wasn't called.

It was such bullshit. Such ****ery.

Perhaps somebody instructed him to do something to help the Pats? You know, the man talking in his ear? :shrug:

How does it end the game? There were 7 minutes left. And it didn't extend the drive. It would've been 3rd and 7 without the phantom roughing. I'm sure that one was the one 3rd down and long the Chiefs were going to get a stop though...

What extended the drive was them giving Hogan the benefit of the doubt and going with the call on the field yet somehow they overturned the Edelman play, it's like yea make up rules as you go.

Some NFL purists are going to be very upset with you for saying these things.

Hogan's was overturned because it wasn't secured and then hit the ground. Edelman's was secured before and pinned throughout.

Literally said this when they ruled it a catch. You can't go with the ruling on the field and overturning a call with insufficient evidence on both.

And the Ref that made the roughing call couldn't even see if it really happened or not. I mean give me a ****ing break.....

The play happened on 3rd down. If its not called, its 4th and 7. KC gets the ball. Not sure it would have ended the game. Now if Dee Ford would have not lined up offsides, the resulting Int does end it.

Groundhog Day LMAO

Refs didn’t decide the game.

Belichick fisting Andy/Sutton decided the game.

They didn't decide the Saints\Rams game either.......:rolleyes:

Ain't it.

Both versions of Andy too. OL coach got his butt whipped just as bad as Reid in the playcalling and game management.

Sad that both championship games outcomes were heavily impacted by questionable calls.

They keep up with that shit, the league will continue to lose its popularity share.

And that's what the NFL counts on non-NE fans saying after they fist-**** teams in favor of BB and TB's dynasty.

The chiefs got their ****ing asses handed to them by the O-Line and D-line. The more physical team won. No ref is going to change the fact the linebackers are so bad on this team

It was second and 7.

Don't you have ducks to suck?

Ratings were up five percent this year.

Nice. Way to encourage the NFL to do more manipulating...

Dumbass...

Ratings were up because of new young stars and here we are with Brady once again.

What’s funny is even if they didn’t call it you really think the chiefs would of stopped them on 3-7?

Yeah, at this point Brady and the Patriots are a negative force on ratings. This Stupor Bowl isn't going to excite anyone in the country. Even the few people who are legitimate Patriots fans don't really care any more.

L.A. has 7 billion people, that market will cover the rest of the U.S. landscape that doesn't watch.

In the 4th quarter and OT, the Pats were 5/5 on 3rd and 5+. So, yip.

Watch, the story will be the team that started the Pats dynasty will they end it? I wouldn't be at all surprised if the NFL wants the Rams to win this one.

Patriots, Rams, Maroon 5? I hope the stadium gets infested with AIDS locusts.

The Patriots were beatable, but not by a team that:

1. Was completely unprepared in the first half
2. Didn't gameplan to stop the run in the first half.
3. Missed a wide open receiver for a TD
4. Who has an OL couldn't protect
5. Whose "stud" Rushers couldn't get to the qb
6. Stud safety couldn't cover a broken TE
7. Top 2 receivers didn't have big games
8. HC who doesn't understand you can't give Brady the ball back
9. A rusher who doesn't know what the neutral zone is
10. Officiating that isn't going to give you a break
11. Special teams that commit penalties and don't know when to take a knee

You were at home and didn’t score a single point in the first half but yet it’s the Refs? 😂

And bingo was his name

You really want a disease that kills everybody quickly. I mean with AIDS they could live for years.

It is very embarrassing for the city, the state, and the fans. It was pathetic to say the least.

I'll let others water-down the truth.

Yeah, I don't know what happened in the first half. That was an abomination. It's weird that we get destroyed by the run and then suddenly put in our big line and have success. I wonder if there's a pattern there.

I think the bottom line, though, was that we played the Cheaters' game and didn't force them to play ours. If we had gotten an early lead and forced them to pass, it would've been a blowout. They're clearly not as talented a team. They just caught some ridiculously lucky breaks, which were exacerbated by our ineptness in the first half.

The Super Bowl is going to be a dud.

Yah, it probably had nothing to do with Redi watching his gassed defense get hammered in OT and not calling a TO to pep em up and catch a breath. OR Dee Ford...

I wont be watching the SuperBowl

No one will, other than people who like to throw hipster parties.

I'll take the loss but everyone I've talked to during post party says we got hosed

lol, as if the NFL would ever want their beloved Cheatriots to lose.

Don't care anymore. Definitely not watching the Cheaterbowl.

Did we even blitz once?

For what reason? Going to just give Brady another open receiver to throw it to in 1.9 seconds?

A competent ****ing linebacker would have helped. A competent safety would have helped. You know, maybe cover a ****ing receiver running a slant over the middle for 97 first downs just ONE time?

NO. NFL

This trip to the Super Bowl would have meant EVERYTHING to Chief fans.
For Patriot fans, its just another feather in their peacock-worthy hat.

That is what I said!

Yep, another end of the season by the refs

I'm glad I didn't spend my money to watch Clark's kids.. I guess I just knew the NFL would NFL...

NFL purists will be along any time now to explain and defend the NFL's side of the story.

Would have been 3rd and 7. Pats picked those up with ease.

6/6 on 3rd and 7+ for the game.

ROFL

:deevee:

The silence of the "the NFL's totally on the up-and-up" crowd in the "manipulated" thread is funny...

LMAO
