Refs

Mostly my conspiracies run pretty simple as unconscious bias. In the age of gambling, we would all probably be shocked if we knew how big a swing covering the spread made for money guys. Don't like it. Bad look. Nobody wants to take away the gambling cash. Better to not look too close frankly LOL.

Bump.

Wanted to go find a replay of this.
Yeesh.

Key moment. Pretty classically refs managing the score. I would include the ludicrous "downfield" call too. Cost KC 10 points. The first call was a 10-point swing.

That's a really tough job on the highest level with the most eyeballs on them. It's probably one of the toughest jobs in all of sports. Players are bigger, stronger and faster than ever before.

I've seen worse not called though.

You realize there were piss poor calls (and non-calls) that went the Chiefs way too. Right?

Doesn't embed both videos.
The other video is the Gabe Davis TD where the contact is pretty much the same.

The calls against the Chiefs were pretty strategic and cost points.

The tripping penalty that caused the Bills to punt was probably one gutter would point out we got away with.

But I think Chris Jones was held on that play, before the kick, and then kind of pushed into Allen.
Watching again, he does kick his leg out, for sure, and i'm not totally certain it was non-incidental.

That was a terrible offensive PI call. The Buffalo sideline must have yelled at the refs just prior. It was no different than a dozen other push offs by receivers all game and should have never been called.

I didn't watch the game, but, just reading the tweeter comments:

Yes, that was what I felt was one missed call. I happen to agree with you that Jones was (at least probably was) held on that play. Heck, there was possibly holding by Williams on that play too. Lots of things that I felt could have been called throughout the game that were not. I guess better to let them play than call ticky tack penalties?
I completely understand the fan frustration when the Refs have a negative bearing on/against their team.

There comes a point where you really start to wonder.

We have lost so many points from bad officiating.

[pdub]

Bump.
