Have we ever won a game with this ref crew?

[displacedinMN]

Not to blame it all on them. But when my daughter comments about the flags...there is a problem.

Anybody who thinks the refs didn’t play a massive role in that game has no idea. They legitimately took 18 points away from them in the 1st half. And even if you don’t think it was that many (it was), the Chiefs still should have had a lead going into the 2nd half which would have limited the Raiders’ ability to run the ball and control the game. Carr would have been forced to take a lot more risks in a second half where they are behind (as they should have been) and that would likely be curtains for them.

But we had lots and lots of opportunities in the second half. If we were getting screwed left and right late in the game that would be one thing. The second half was on the Chiefs not the refs.

Yep. KC got OWNED in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

Is Clete Blakeman the NFL assassin?

That's true, a perfect example of that was second to the last drive with the play on Kelce, when the dude ran through his body before the ball got there. That was the perfect opportunity to extend the drive. But they didn't.

Raiders aren’t able to control the game in the 2nd half and limit possessions if the Chiefs are up double digits. In the end it all comes back to those calls.

That's true about the 2nd half. But 18-swing on 3 calls is pretty huge, regardless of whether it happens in 1st quarter or 4th quarter.

I think it's safe to say that when the Refs intervened or chose not too it consistently aided the Raiders.

It seemed like they made sure either the drive for the Raiders would extend or the drive for the Chiefs would stall.

I don't buy into some theories, but teams moving cities getting calls, I buy into that one.

They took 3 TDs off the board. First bomb of the game they called back with a ticky tack holding, the second one on the bomb where Tyreek was nailed a full second before the ball arrived, and then the offensive interference on Kelce.

Blakeman and his crew were known last year for their games going under, 10 straight weeks to be exact. When it was brought up by Warren Sharp on Lefkoe's podcast, I believe it was that same week that one of his games finally didn't go under.

Some teams don't score 18 points in a game...we had it taken off the board. That's hard to overcome.

In the grand scheme of things, I'm totally zen with today

It gets rid of that 16-0 talk, and provides a dose of humility all at once

Go nurse that wounded pride and get back to work, fellas

Agree and better figure out how to move the ball when teams drop 7 or 8

I can't believe our shit o-line can't block 3. Pat still had to leave the pocket too much with only three guys rushing him. Pathetic.

Thank you. We do our best out there.

Losing games is part of football. It's hard to win every game. Some days you just don't have it. Hopefully your lines learn how to block and get pressure.
