It's crazy that mostert's fine was more than poyer's

Regardless number of penalties is a meaningless metric to use. The most important thing is overall what was the balance of officiating in a particular game vs the opponent. Were there critical penalties called against the other team that killed their drives and kept KC drives alive. And were there calls that weren't made against KC that should have been. It's the same formula as the Patriots* "dynasty" - critical game-changing calls against the other team, many times early in the game to have them play from behind - then some meaningless 5 yd penalties on 1st down against Pats* (now KC) later in the game to 'even it out' on the stat sheet (while ignoring others). And then throw in the phantom PI call on the late drive if necessary. I've always wished someone would do an analysis of penalties in games in the Patriot* "dynasty" to show the pattern above. It is definitely trending the same for KC now. I guarantee Brady was by far the biggest benefactor of late game PI calls in the history of the sport - we'll see if Mahomes can catch up

I said in a thread earlier this year during a KC game the opposing team should just have an intern follow the sideline ref around and scream "THE RIGHT TACKLE IS MOVING EARLY!!!!" directly into his earhole for every KC offensive play

Should have gone to bed

But you'll miss the heroics of the almighty Pat who came back from almost dead

Cynical enough to remember Pat's heroic ability to return from a sprained ankle that would kill lesser men and make it almost seem like it maybe it wasn't as bad as he was making it - for a mere mortal i mean

Show taylor now

So nice for the chiefs their RT can back up like a full second before the ball is snapped

Mahomes is a sacked machine

My son just said this to me :p

Nice to keep it close til the refs hand it to kc in the 4th

Gadget fail

A gadget that can't even make a routine catch

Ha - I was just about to type this doesn't fit the narrative that the Jets have turned it around with a win and are playoff-bound now

So you're saying they're desperate...

It's bizarre to me some people don't understand that it is the job of someone reviewing video upstairs to tell McD whether to challenge. Other people who want to say he must have ignored what they told him are letting their hate get in the way of reason imo

Yeah like I said - haters - they smell an oppty with any miscue to get some jabs in then disappear when Josh goes back to his normal elite level of play

Shades of Josh's first year(s) here where the haters dissected every throw that craptastic receivers at the time would routinely drop saying ridiculous things like "it was 6 inches off to the side"

Thought it was pretty funny Harlan was breathlessly talking about Hail Mary on the last play when Miami had the ball at the 20

Phantom PI is a great tool for refs to control outcome of game in this situation

Dude got kicked in the calf and acted like his leg exploded

D can win it here - get a freaking stop

Omg maybe Martin can kick EPs

Quinton Morris on the bingo card!

Just qb sneak 4 times
