Chiefs got the benefit of the bad calls tonight. About time. I’ve been hearing about the Chiefs getting these calls for five years. About time the actually get one.

 

[Chimonos Revenge]

Yeah... the reffing this year has been something else.

Madubuike has lost out on a sack to a 'face mask' where he tackled Minshew via his jersey... and the safety vs Dallas.
Multiple phantom calls to get Dallas down the field.
Allowing Spags to call a timeout...


Oh... and of course the hyper-fixation on illegal formation against the Chiefs when Taylor was markedly worse and didn't get a single flag.

It's becoming unwatchable, honestly

Getting as bad as the NBA with the ref calls designed to influence the outcome of the games hwo they want

 

[Jam_Handy]

And the ads...if my tv didnt have a mute button, I wouldn't watch at all.

There should be no "non-reviewable" calls in the game.

Refs "judgement calls" being immune to review is total bullshit.

If every scoring play is automatically reviewable, then every contact in the endzone play should be too. It would take literally 15 seconds via review to determine that should be a PI.

I agree.
Everyrhing should be reviewable. Obviously need to limit the amount of challenges - but nothing should be off the table.

Yeah, im not saying give teams MORE challenges. You still get the same amount, but EVERY play should be reviewable. Every Call.
No more "oops, we blew the whistle, you can't review that now" or "It's a ref judgement call, it's not reviewable"
It's horseshit.

Holding would be a fun one.
That's a call that can be called on nearly every play. But the refs appear to pick and choose when - and on who - to call it.

Lately, that's how they use DPI calls as well, apparently.

Rules only apply to *some* teams

Yeah. That's a big one.

It happened to the Chiefs last year. Twice on the same drive vs GB.

You know what the chiefs did about it? They won the Super Bowl.

Neither of those are even comparable to the shit KC is getting away with.

Dude straight up tackled Pitts without even turning his head to the ball.

Same with AFCC where Likely was flat out tackled prior to the ball getting there.

Its easy to win games when you can tackle receivers before they can make a play, never get called for holding, and your RT can line up even with the QB... and still move before the snap.

 

[Chrit]

For as terrible as Caleb Williams, Danny Dimes, and Anthony Richardson have been, the Miami Dolphins are the only team in the league to have not held a lead at ANY point so far this season.

 

[Chimonos Revenge]

A bright spot in a sea of Mediocrity. Offense just can't stay on the field

With a shit ton of ref help, sure

I'd argue that the MVS no call was worse. But yeah, there where two no calls that helped the CHiefs BIGLY last night. Still think the Falcons got a couple make-up calls on that last drive.

I mean... if the Bengals lose to the Redskins, it might just be time to blow it all up.

Yep. Trade the malcontents (Chase and Higgins)
Time for a rebuild.

I think one of my favorite developing story lines this year so far is that Justin Fields has become the obvious starter in Pittsburgh, relegating "Mr Unlimited" to being a back up.

After being brought in to be Mr Unlimited's backup, Justin Fields has won 3 consecutive games for the first time in his career.

I mean, Tomlin would be foolish to start DangeRUSS after the way Fields has begun the season.

I dunno...

Mr Unlimited got a game ball for his performance last week.

Yeah, he rocked the hell out of that clipboard.
Even better than Johnny Cocaine

 

[Chrit]

Exactly... Just think about it.

Pittsburgh is winless this season without having Mr Unlimited on the headset.
