SB LVll Game Thread: Eagles VS Chiefs

[dpberr]

Master class in coaching by the Chiefs.

 

Just like the Bills discovered, play that soft ass zone against KC and you'll lose.

I disagree, I think any time you give a team an advantage it’s wrong, whether you ignore a blatant call or make a weak or non existent one they both affect the outcome. I wanted the chiefs except I wanted Kelce to get his face stomped. But I felt dirty after that, and we all got cheated out of a possible great finish or overtime game.

The difference here is they hadn't called offensive or defensive holding all night long if memory serves, and now you're going to call it with a minute left in the game in one of the weakest cases of holding I've seen in awhile?

 

Nah.  Referees literally determined the outcome of this Super Bowl.

I feel like the flag didn't come out until the ref saw how overthrown the pass was - and thought well he must have really been held up for it to be so far off.  But in reality the route really wasn't affected and it was just an overthrown ball.

 

Regardless of wanting friggin KC to lose- fans were robbed of what would have likely have been an epic ending to what was up til then an epic SB game - and possibly even OT.   Such a bummer

this one gets a big ** from me.  Hurts gifting KC a TD, Refs gifting KC inability to come back.  Really coaching didn't stand out today.  

 

There are no asterisks.

 

KC scored on every possession of the second half against a powerful defense. Eagles got zero sacks. 

 

Coaching was phenomenal.

That holding call is going to cause me to lose interest in the NFL. How do they just let them play all game and then literally end the game because of a penalty? Unbelievable call, I feel bad for Eagles fans.

Yep. I don’t think the NfL is rigged, but no one can convince me that it isn’t “favoured” for certain teams/players.

 

They are doing everything possible to make Mahomes the next tom Brady 

[Success]

Did anyone hear Booger saying that was a TD if not for the "hold?"

 

Man, was that dubious.

He is, but let’s not act like he was his superhuman self tonight.

 

Reid calls some spectacular motions in the short game and gave Mahomes wide open options at the goal line.

 

Bolton deserved the MVP over Mahomes imo

We could’ve drafted Bolton. We already knew Edmunds stunk and we hadn’t paid Milano yet. We screwed up. He was all over the field.

Andy Reid is sooo underrated.  Happy to see him get another one.

Anyone else see the guy with the Josh Allen jersey and huge Bills sign in the front row during the game? So awesome.

The game was over regardless. Didn’t matter much. They were in close FG range.

Unreal.  Losers. 
 

 

[SectionC3]

Garbage call.  Most consequential piece over over-officiating I can think of. 

[TheFunPolice]

It was a hold. 

 

If the refs let it go then they are affecting the game.

 

If the call it then the players decided the game. 

[Mark Vader]

Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but they couldn't beat the Bills.

 

Suck it, haters!

What? The Chiefs have to kick a FG and there's plenty of time for Philly to tie or take the lead with 2 timeouts.

Good points, but Eagles D went soft, playing off, although KC took full advantage as you noted.  And the KC O-line is really good.  

 

But that call at the end and that Hurts gift were the game, IMO.

I thought the Eagles D was terrible in the 2nd half …

 

They threw that one away

I seen that called against us this year while the other team got away with it. It’s the inconsistency that pisses people off.

They didn't call it all night.  I've seen much worse not called.  

 

That call decided the game.

We will beat them in the regular season next year too…

 

Leslie will call a perfect game
