There are definitely these types of fans for every team

That's why I don't blast an entire fan base for those who are A holes.

No one is questioning that call at all.

Sarcasm. Block in the back was missed. But it wouldn’t have meant a thing without the personal foul. It would have meant overtime.

Let’s go back to the block in the back on Harrisons 101 yard return against us. And THAT play was moving in slow motion.

I do think the Chiefs and Mahomes are like the Jordan Chicago Bulls in a lot of ways.

That said, I do feel like the Eagles will smash them. Unlike the Bengals, the Eagles will run the ball very well.

Eagles will do a better job on Jones as well.

Yeah, I was ready jump out of the stands and tackle him myself.

Right, like many do with Eagles or Dallas fans. Which this convo originally came from me rooting for Philly over KC, not because of fans as a whole (while some may not root for Philly because of fans).

Some people think that legalized sports betting is causing refs to rig games. I think reffing is the same as it always was and people losing money gambling are freaking out, blaming it on conspiracy.

Earlier in the week the Bengals were betting underdogs despite Mahomes having the high ankle sprain. Tons and tons of money poured in on the Bengals and I bet they were mad as hell any time the Chiefs got a call/no call.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

In a good game like tonight the refs should be in the frame of mind as to not let a flag determine the game and not call any penalty unless it is super obvious.

I am not talking about the last call of Mahomes being pushed. If I was the ref on that play (and the guy was not laying under a bench hurt) I would have been in his face saying why the hell did you put me in the position of having to pull my flag at this point in the game.

Now, for the other calls that were so trivial, there was just no need for some of them at this stage of this game. I think most refs know this, but it only takes one jerk that just wants to be part of the game and interject himself into it as much as he can. Everyone of them should know after all the bad calls we get in these conference championship games every single year, to just let the players decide the game.

Unfortunately, the Bengal player just did not give the ref any choice by pushing a one legged qb like that when he is not only already out of bounds, but just the fact that he was going out of bounds anyway. Just no reason for it. Totally brainless, making it hard for even your teammates to forgive you.

Mahomes is great. Heck Burrow is pretty great as well.

Both werent overly impressive in any of their 3 Super Bowls so far. Primarily because the physicality in the NFC is just on another level.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

It’s another gut punch seeing Reddick lead Philly to the superbowl on the defensive side of the ball. All the talking head gushing over him and our half ass front office couldn’t see what they had right in front of their nose.

Players are playing their guts out. Running at top speed in desperation to make a play. Diving to push a player out of bounds to prevent a loss.
It’s easy for us to judge but I don’t put that kind of play at the same level as selfish penalty like taking your helmet off or punching another player.

 

[Praxis]

I thought Bengals would win but this is why I'm not a betting man! Eagles vs. Chiefs is still an awesome Super Bowl. I'm glad the 49ers are out!

 

[TaylorSwift]

Haason Reddicks play since he was with the Cards if proof positive of vjs ineptitude

Its what happens when you priortize scheme over players.

Depressing stat:

Whoever wins the SB will have more wins at State Farm Stadium than the Cardinals did this year.

 

[SoonerLou]

Kevin Murray envies Patrick Mahomes Sr. more than Kyler does Patrick.

Go look at twitter. They missed an obvious block in the back on the punt return which sprung him. Then 2 holding calls on the run by Mahomes. The NFL is rigged and it is what it is. But twitter is going ballistic and the NFL is looking bad

It was a hell of a fourth quarter comeback by Torbert and his crew, but with determination and a handy yellow flag they was able to do it. The trick was when to use the flag and when to keep it in their pocket. They mastered that beautifully.

Key play included a missed holding penalty by Orlando Brown - ProFootballTalk

The late hit that gave the Chiefs 15 extra yards and a 45-yard game-winning field goal try came at the end of a play that began with something that has happened over and over in 2022.Offensive holding. Not called.Chiefs tackle Orlando Brown clearly held Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. No...

Jesus FC.

The amount of blatant clips and screenshots you find if you look up the #NFLRigged hashtag on Twitter is insane.

Here's a few:

For everyone here saying the NFL is rigged, why watch it?

The same could be said why watch it if incompetent refs alter the outcome of games?

Exactly.
