Monday Night Football: Las Vegas @ Kansas City 8:15pm EST on ESPN

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

2nd half should be fun AF.

 

[Shanemansj13]

No, the rule is you cannot drive the QB to the ground and land on them with your entire weight. I didn't make the rule, but it is a rule and that was obviously what happened and what they called.

He didn’t

 

[Moab]

I am trying to say you are wrong in what happened. And you appear to be the only one in America.

Actually, the only persons that matter are the guys that made the call, and I can see how they saw it that way. I guess since Booger agrees with you that somehow makes you feel better?

 

[trojanfight]

How are the chiefs still named the chiefs? Are they the only professional team left with a indian name? Why do they get a pass?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Are you trying to say that's not the rule or that I made the rule?

You don’t know how to interpret it like the refs. He never drove him into the ground, plain and simple

 

[Black Adam]

STILL pissed about that roughing call...

 

[msgkings322]

Exactly, it's the easiest cop out ever, just blame the refs

I always rag on people who say they lost because of the refs (looking at you Donald Trump), but my point is more that the refs really do control the game and their job is impossible to call in real time in the middle of the action when the rest of us get to see the plays in slomo from every angle over and over.

The whole sport is about the refs. I want the Raiders to win and if they do it's because they had some help today. It's hard to watch a sport where after every major play the first thing you do is check to see if there's a flag.

No idea how to fix it but it's a problem for me.

Since everyone agrees with me, as stated.

They saw it that way and that's all that matters, and yes he did land on him with his entire weight. You're seeing what you want to see.

 

[Black Adam]

Because the team name was actually for a local politician at the time...

Golden State?

Braves too. It's because Chiefs isn't racist like Redskins or incorrect like Indians. Plus no faces or cartoon faces in the logo. I think it will stay.

 

[msgkings322]

Golden State?

That's just it, a 'chief' doesn't have to be Native American any more than a 'warrior'.

 

[Manster7588]

I didn’t care who won tonight.


Now, Go Chiefs. Kick the Raiders and the CHEATING Refs asses

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Another bad call the Raiders way. Man this is why I can't get all into football like my other sports. Everything is officiating.

The NBA is worse.

Golden State used to use Native American imagery but dropped it when they moved to Oakland

Agreed.

You can’t blame the officials. That’s the rule as put in by the competition committee.

That play was literally an example perfectly of how the rule is written:

When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.

The idea that Jones one hand in real time landing somehow doesn’t make it a flag is fucking ridiculous. He landed on Carr with all or most of his body weight.

Stupid rule. Not a bad call.

 

[Black Adam]

Lol this crowd is so pissed

Who can blame 'em...?

 

[Manster7588]

Why didn't they do that the first 4 games?

It's just the nature of the sport, hardest by FAR to officiate, and the most dependent on officials.

I agree it's hard but there was absolutely no roughing there.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

STILL pissed about that roughing call...

Don't blame you one bit.
That call was beyond bogus.
