    The Kelce and Harry calls weren't the only 2 blown calls (they were the biggest as both should have been TDs.) The non PI call on Dorsett was blatant. And the Pats being out of challenges cause the numbskull officiating crew of Wonder, Charles, Keller et al blew the Kelce call just makes it that much worse.

    That was a horribly officiated game.

    This weekend we rock Portland
  • There was also a missed unnecessary roughness penalty on Hightower, when Mahomes ran to the sideline and a bogus illegal block called on Andrew Wylie.  Not saying they're as bad as the missed calls for the Patriots, but I sure as hell am not going feel bad about this win.  KC needed this badly.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Mahomes ran to the sideline but never stepped out, Hightower has the right to hit him there.

  • We can agree to disagree on that.  He was on the white line when Hightower contacted him.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
  • The officiating was horrible. And the Pats were robbed of at least two TDs. But oh well, makes playoff victories all the sweeter.

  • Try not getting down 23-7.  The refs didn't put them in that situation.  New England was "victimized" by bad calls.  Cry me a river.  Join the club.  I'm sure they'll be back on the other side of the coin in January.

    The officiating was horrible. And I’m not crying a river. But the best part? The ref is looking at the tablet at the replay and he’s on the Jumbotron. Except the tablet never shows the replay. NFL=WWF. How about not going down 28-3? Oh yea, been there, did that. Looking forward to the playoffs.

  • First home loss is more than 2 years?
    Damn.
    On one hand, that is seriously impressive.
    On the other?  People are going to be clinching their buttcheeks soon.  (Not here, y'all are a confident group...with lots of reasons to be that way.)
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
  • First home loss when Brady and Edelman were playing together.  42-1
    I guess Edelman wasn't active in 2017, when the Chiefs took it to them that night.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Anybody still doubting the Niners and Jimmy G? Haha

    And the Patriots second half line pays dividends yet again. I’m telling you, in games they are favored and trail at halftime or are tied, I bet they have covered 70% of the time over the last 20 years. It’s uncanny and it’s the greatest bet in all of sports. Ledbetterman, where you at?!

  • Horrible officiating is, unfortunately, a reality in almost every game.
    The fucking Saints went until less than two minutes left in the 3rd without a flag.
    How is that possible?
    Then they get lit up over and over in the 4th.

    The refs suck huge hog.

    Was that the game @Wobbie declared that the Brady/Belichick era was over? Or was that after the 2014 game?

    We can agree to disagree on that.  He was on the white line when Hightower contacted him.
    No...

    https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/e81ml9/highlight_hightower_shoves_mahomes_out_of_bounds/

    He's clearly inbounds when Hightower contacts him, and he was letting up instead of heading straight to the sideline (Ask 2018 Jimmy Garoppolo about the wisdom of doing that, you should remember the end result as it was in KC). And its not a hard hit either, Mahomes just loses his balance and falls into a poorly placed cooler.

    The Patriots got jobbed a bit yesterday.  It was foolish for Belichick to burn challenge capital on a silly spot which are almost never overturned.

    With that said, I have witnessed the Patriots as the beneficiaries of so many questionable calls and luck over the years.

    In today's NFL, that is a flag more often than not.  He was going out of bounds and Hightower shoved him into the bench.  I would like to think Mahomes can get the same treatment Tom Brady would on that type of sequence, but it looks like he still doesn't.

    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
  • I saw that flagged recently and complained that the QB was not out of bounds yet...cannot recall which game.  It shouldn't be a penalty, by the rules, but football officiating is more and more like 'calling balls and strikes' every year.

    I think NFL referees are outstanding.

    There are games that there are a number of close calls and they get a ton of focus... but this day and age where there are 30 close up camera angles and several million people emotionally watching with vested financial or fandom interests on the line. Players are also larger and faster/more efficient than ever.   Everything is analyzed to the microfiber.  The rules and format of the game has gotten so cumbersome, and it changes often (even mid-season).  

    As a Bills fan, my team gets screwed by a missed holding call or pass interference.  I boo, get upset, then shortly move on.  Most of the time though, fans and media dont/cant let go... then we get additional layers added (for example the recent pass interference challenge nonsense).  It evens out over time.


    We saw when they had the replacement referees how badly it could really be.  Those refs tore the fabric of the game when we saw what bad officiating really looks like.  By the end, they were losing control of nearly every game, players were fighting, game administration was breaking down, etc.  Real referees got back and it was night and day

    Everyone's team has benefited from and been hurt by bad calls before. And will again.  
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
  • I think they are too inconsistent on what constitutes some of the major calls.
    Do they have a tough job?  Oh, hell yes.  Especially when the league keeps changing the rules.

    When I can watch a game in real time and clearly see that a player is being tackled before the ball in anywhere in the vicinity then I would say it's a bad call.

    Well apparently there's rumblings of the Patriots video-taping shit again. Seems like much ado about nothing. But still, 

    the fact that the Patriots are even being mentioned with this sort of thing again reminds me of that Chris Rock joke about Michael Jackson being accused of molestation a second time....

    the fact that the Patriots are even being mentioned with this sort of thing again reminds me of that Chris Rock joke about Michael Jackson being accused of molestation a second time....

    "This is like another dead white girl showing up outside OJ's house and OJ standing there like 'I know what you're thinkin'...'"

    Their excuse is they were taping one of their own scouts. Zero integrity. Can’t wait to see how pats fans spin this one.

    Please, it was a TV show about the job of an advanced scout being taped with permission from the Browns. It wasn't football ops people and the memory cards were confiscated because the Bungles got upset since they host the Pats next week. Do you really think if the Pats were going to tape an opponent they'd choose the Bengals?

    Cant wait to see this riveting documentary about a documentary of the scout.

    Nobody post spoilers about when he submits his reimbursements
