Yea they weren't biaised. Just useless.

 

"The arm was coming forward even if the ball was going backwards" was the explanation from ESPN's "rules analyst". 

 

Can I just say as bad as the refs were - Buck and Aikman were worse. Thank God they are cast into the MNF backwater nowadays. Awful announcers.

They briefly sad if the ball is in a vertical position when it was lost it becomes a tuck, is this true? Never heard that before…

Flame away, but on first glance (I haven't watched any replays since) I thought Josh flopped at the end of that one to make it look like Kinlaw slammed him down as a second act.

He clowned the clown refs

Anyone watching Texas v Georgia?  Georgia just threw a pick returned to the 9.  Late defensive PI flag comes in giving Georgia the ball at the 40 or so. Questionable call.  So it’s a huge penalty. Refs announce the penalty on the PA system and everything.
 

anyways the Texas crowd goes nuts.  The student section starts chanting something and throwing crap in the field.  It delays the game 5 minutes.  
 

Then the refs huddle up and say there’s no DPI after all. Hahaha! Really bad look.  Never seen anything like it

So…

 

Was New York asleep during that final Chiefs catch!?!?

 

How was that not reviewed? It clearly hit the ground.

[f0neguy]

Everything is reviewed in the last two minutes.  They review it, doesn’t mean they get it right.

[gonzo1105]

I think the game was fairly officiated and more importantly was well officiated. 
 

Props to Land Clark and his crew

It was so obvious on the first replay that he never caught it so I don't know who they had working the booth

Is there a link to this non-catch? Couldn’t watch the game today and you know this won’t be allowed on the highlights. 

[dickleyjones]

it probably hit the ground but i don't remember seeing anything definitive. they don't overturn on "we think so".

It looked definitive to me. It would have been reversed if it had been reviewed. The announcers and the rules analyst agreed.

Yes, other than that dropped pass that wasn't reviewed.

I feel like it was probably mostly lightly officiated unless something was too egregious, which kind of makes sense Bills-Chiefs is too good TV to let the refs cut it to pieces.

 

But there were a lot of things that I noticed KC got away with, maybe we did too and I just wasn't looking for that.

They drowned out Gene saying it wasn't a catch by the crowd noise during the timeout 😉

Here it is.

The 2nd and 3rd angle are clear. No catch. 

[buffalo2218]

Was in disbelief when they didn't do a replay review, was in even more disbelief when the Chiefs got flagged for holding a play or 2 later

All the whining pregame and it didn't materialize in the game.  That holding call on the Mahommes run was huge.

Should have been 4th and 13 with the incomplete pass. They called it a catch, but then yes, they called the obvious hold.

Agreed, and I like how they called that entire game. Let them play. We don’t need a hundred flags and constant huddling by the refs. 
 

refs let both teams hold quite a bit, but only called the most egregious. 
 

I also liked not reviewing the chiefs catch near the end. We don’t need a 15-minute review over the intricacies of the dumb catch rules. They kept the game moving.
