Oh, that doesn't bother me then. Would drive my crazy if it were incorrect however in that particular instance.

He didn't jump offsides, he lined up offsides. Had no impact on the play at all. You wonder how many times during a game someone lines up offsides and it's not called. Then, on the one play that would have ended the game, it's called. Crazy.

One thing lost on the Hogan catch controversy- I'm not sure it was a catch. But if it was (and I think it was), it's one of the greatest catches I've ever seen.

It was although something of a judgement call. The Edelman "catch" was called back. Except for the bogus roughing the passer call, they were ok. Which isn't bad for the refs.

Not a good excuse. When it's that obvious, it's called a hell of a lot..

Why do people feel the need to bitch about the refs and act like it’s one sided? You find one or two plays that “changed the game”.


We really live in a world full of bad losers and people who want do-overs.

Both games yesterday were called evenly. One team didn’t dominate getting calls and both were good games that went to OT. Doesn’t get any better than that so why bitch?

In this case, it because the Chiefs and Saints are playing in the Super Bowl if one call ends up differently.

In the Saints case, they got the call wrong.

Is this a real post??? Are you fucking kidding me? Probably the gayest post I've seen so far.

He was lined up offsides by a country mile. Easy fucking call, that gets made every fucking time. Hell, let's just let him line up in the backfield..maybe put him in the I-formation?


Easily the gayest thing I've seen posted about the game so far.

You could look to many other plays, calls, and no calls as well. Can’t just cherry pick one. Plus there is a flow to games and the refs are making up make up calls and no calls.

If the refs start throwing flags galore we are all in here bitching about the refs and too many flags

You can't cherry pick but there are definitely plays that can end football games. Those plays are more important than plays that don't

Unless you're saying the Patriots OT was committing an illegal formation by lining up where he was, thus inducing offsides, I don't really get the consternation on the Ford offsides. The phantom roughing the passer is way further up on the list of things to complain about.

 

[Duffman]

The Patriots got a bogus roughing the passer penalty that benefited them and the Chiefs had about four defensive pass interference penalties that weren’t called.

It’s not often where the Patriots actually get the worst end of the officiating stick but yesterday was it.

I think I saw two. The one in the endzone where the Pats receiver caught it anyways and I think they had one on a crossing route.

I dont really think the Chiefs fans are complaining about the game as a whole. Most Chiefs fans should know that playoff rules of refs not calling anything favors the Chiefs man defense scheme a LOT.

Slap anywhere near a QB's head and they are going to throw a flag. This isn't something new, the NFL has put an emphasis on protecting QB's for decades now.

But when the Pats did the same thing to Mahomes earlier in the 2nd half, refs correctly didn't throw their flag lol

Gronk was getting mugged on the play so while yes the roughing the passer penalty was bogus a foul should’ve been called either way to keep the drive alive.

He got Randy Gregoryed and it cost them.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

What is one thing the Patriots have not done more or less at all the last few weeks?

Throw to Gronkowski.

I think that when KC least expects it, they will do just that.

I think Gronk has a big day and not just blocking for the run.

They've lulled the league to sleep on him. He's done, etc.

Maybe I do know something?

 

[Hank Kingsley]

They will just keep Gronk in to block, and suddenly spring him on them.

I can smell it.

Yup, I smelled it.
