But the eagles security officer gets a sideline ban for the rest of the season. 

Seems a little biased?

[QLBillsFan]

Seems like Patty should have gotten the bigger fine.  That tantrum was next level privileged victim mentality!!!

Well they know too that the players can appeal the fine, while the coach can't as no NFLPA to fight Reid's battles for him

 

That's true, but what on earth would Mahomes say in his appeal?  "I wasn't really trying to get to the ref to yell in his face and only kept from it by my teammates, if they'd have let go I would have walked over and said "Kind sir, a warning would be most appreciated but was not given"?  "I wasn't really yelling about it to Josh Allen during the after-game bro hugs, we were talking about the Pacers game" "I wasn't really complaining about the ref'ing in my post game presser, I was misquoted - On videotape!"

I think it might come down to the specific wording they each used.  Reid was blunter "the league should be embarrassed".  I'm not sure Mahomes said anything that direct.

They should also fine Travis Kelce for that ridiculous looking mustache. Makes him look like he drives a windowless van with "free candy" spray painted on the side 

It has a name. The Taylor tickler

Well my point was it would more likely be appealed and the league would lose if the fine was deemed to be excessive.  Likely that will be the NFLPA's argument, not that Mahomes didn't break the rules, but that the fine given is excessive. 

 

Reid can certainly make the same argument, but he has nobody fighting for him.

The League fine is so high because the ref was actually right. I can’t believe it, but the League is telling the Chiefs to simmer down some, and get in line with the showings of Taylor Swift and be happy about it. 
 

In other words, Don’t screw up the script.

Act like Mahomes did towards the refs during a game, and you get ejected... just saying.

This reminds me of Jerry Hughes. "I said what?  Show me the tape"

[WideNine]

All I kept thinking was that there have been some terrible calls this year and you B word about that one?

 

Complaining that the ref didn't remind your guy where the LOS was.

 

I thought he was Offside from the get-go and I was wondering when or if the flag was going to get tossed and then it was.

 

It's like they were shocked that a penalty can wipe out a TD... welcome to our world.

Yeah Mahomes as whiny as it was came off more as venting while Reid's comments were more offensive to the refs and questioning of the call, and certainly more memorable. Like Mahomes trying to remember and the most memorable things are calls deciding games and should be a highlight for Kelce.

They should have been fined a lot more, that is why they did it, that is pocket change to them!

Probably works like when Robert “Happy Ending” Kraft always squared up for Bellicheat’a acct.  Reid and Mahomes will get their money back on the flip side.

[Goin Breakdown]

This kind of being up a point I've always wondered about and I am sure some of yo my have the answer for this, but why do officials seem to be so untouchable?  You can't criticize them, heck you or your fined. Yet when they mess up or "sway games" with egregious calls, they don't get fined.  I remember Hughes was upset because a red called him a beotch. Did that Ref get fined. I'm going to guess not. Of all things, don't criticize the officials, just seems way to power trippy to me.

That ref actually got fired.

 

But as to the larger point the NFL wants to protect the image of the game. Which I know everyone hates and complains about the officiating but there is a difference between fans and outside voices doing that and if it became open season and all the players and coaches started doing it. Also they need people to actually do the job and that kind of environment doesn't seem very inviting.

I do see your point

[Richard Noggin]

Also, the RT was irrefutably lined up in the backfield, so...get wrekt, Mahomie. SUCH a See(c) You(u) Next(n) Tuesday(t) response, ESPECIALLY his insanely triggered post game complaints to Josh Allen at midfield. So privileged. So bratty.

Id love to have a QB that has the testicular fortitude to stick up for his teammate knowing they jacked up, that's character right there.

 Maybe the bills and chiefs meet in the playoffs and mahomes gets buffalo for the 3rd time in a game that has actual meaning

I think Mahomes should’ve received a bigger fine than Reid.  He was out of control with his ranting.  Reid calmly made some mild comments.  I guess they hold the head coach to a higher standard while also not wanting to further upset the Golden Boy.
