I will admit there were two bad calls, but it is doubtful that the Texans would have won if the penalties weren’t called. That being said, if the games could be rigged, Jerry Jones would have done it by now.
I don’t understand some defensive players… if you’re going to get 15 for breathing near Mahomes, then REALLY take him out. Like 1970s hit him and knock him out. If he slides, Joe Flacco/Kiko Alonso hit him. It’s just 15 yards and you increased your chance of winning by a huge %.
I'll say Tom wasn't as bad last night on the Wash/Det game as he has been this year... he needs to chill out a little more. He obviously has the knowledge, just needs the balance. He'll get there.
I was a Chiefs fan.
I saw it a lot.
I couldn’t defend it anymore.
Especially PM’s baiting defensive players into penalties by faking slides and going out of bounds.
(And then all the Buttker/Hunt political stuff . . . )
I’m a very limited football fan & I saw it repeatedly with the Patriots & now with the Chiefs. Last year when they won the Super Bowl the first questions were about a repeat next year. Why?? Nothing in this country is about anything but greed, power, & money. 😖
It's mental - every call that goes the chief's way reinforces their biased belief. Every one that doesn't conveniently gets forgotten or ignored. Meanwhile Texans miss like 3 field goal attempts and get sacked every other play.
Tuff to win a game when it's 11 vs. 18 (7 officials on the field in KC's pocket). Several questionable (drive stalling) calls against Texas coupled with MoSchmoze trying to draw a roughness penalty when pushed OB flailing in the wind like he was just shot.
Let me make sure I have this correct. The refs were the cause of a missed field goal, a blocked field goal, a missed extra point, a 63 yard kickoff return along with the penalty for throwing the helmet, and 8 sacks. Got it. Yes, Texans were clearly robbed.
It is pathetic . I saw no calls that effected the outcome of the game . Cheifs are a better team .from the opening kickoff cheifs were in control . And quarterback should be protected just because Two Texans whacked each other in the process of trying to decapitate mahomes
I agree. One of the calls, I think, was really shitty but other than that, the Texans didn't lose the game because of crappy penalty calls. SEVEN POINTS just in the missed kicks.
And the way the NFL for the Texans to throw six times and scramble for a 15 yard loss in 4th down after running it down the chiefs throat. THE FIX IS IN! Morons.
Preparation, luck, and yes sometimes a missed penalty or a penalty that shouldn’t be called, but questionable penalties happen to EVERY team. If the games could be rigged, Jerry Jones would have done it by now.
That happens with every team. It has been proven in baseball that home plate umpires call more strikes on the visiting team than the home team. Maybe someone could have AWS provide some data for football.
It's become over the top. It's egregious. The @NFL has their hands in everything--they had their hands in the Sixer's arena deal, but they won't get involved in the blatant favoritism demonstrated by the refs towards the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes?
It’s so funny watching people act like the league wants the Chiefs in the Super Bowl even though they’ve given us the lowest-rated Super Bowls that we’ve had in years. Who is this for? Seriously.
Oh my God I totally didn’t know that the Super Bowl AFTER Kelce started dating Taylor Swift was rated well. What an AMAZING point.
So what accounts for the other ones? Were they good before but THEN the league started rigging it for them? These conspiracies are tiresome and moronic. Please stop
You don’t think the league has been capitalizing on Mahomes/Reid/Kelce these past few years? Along with Taylor Swift this year? My wife watches the Chiefs now, has always hated football and we are 1500 miles from KC
It’s hilarious watching people pretend that they’re making the Chiefs win because of their marketability. Reid has been a successful coach for 25 years and he wasn’t in commercials until recently. The notion the league is making them win to keep the gravy train rolling is unspeakably stupid
You could just as easily argue from a ratings perspective that the league would want the Bills, Ravens, and Bengals to win to make the AFC more competitive. In the end, the teams win and the league builds the narrative around that.
so they would rather the large market not have a super bowl? New York. Dallas. Chicago. so they're going to ride with Kansas City? the NFL can make storylines out of anything, they have professionals to do that.
You seem upset. I wasn’t trying to antagonize you. Or whine. I was just saying the NFL loves eyeballs. The Chiefs are the face of the league. They want the Chiefs to win. I didn’t claim it was rigged though.
The fans Swift has brought don’t care if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. And people whined about the refs before that. The notion the league is rigging it for them is patently idiotic and deeply stupid.
I get people don’t like the calls but rigged? For what? Every team has marketable players.
I love all the big talk, and then two weeks later the ticket prices double, and the waiting lists for season tickets double, and next year the ratings double...etc
I add Heath Miller to that list. Both Hines and Heath would come back to the line to help the QB out. I don’t know what the fuck our current WR’s and TE’s think they’re doing. Muth is close but - key drops this season.
Can you imagine how many flags the refs would throw against THAT Steelers team if they played Mahomes? My god. James Harrison would get 15 for just staring at him.

Some Team Coach: "They were offside!"
Ref: "No we weren't!"
Blaming your favorite teams' failure on the officials is really stupid.
withdrawal’s a bitch…

C'mon people, open your eyes!
Packers won the game.
Fans - if any haters try to lift the lid on our racket, please paste the following:
‘That happens with every team. It has been proven…’
Nah, I’m joking, you’re right. I’m just an envious Packers fan.
For shame.

If you can find Canadian football, it’s a much better game. Corporate media won’t talk about it.

The fact that you haven’t tells me you know it isn’t rigged. You just like whining.
