So with a league promoting and hand in hand with gambling , how does that safety not feel scripted.  Never said anything like that before.  I hate all the gambling commercials, sponsorship for small podcast etc.  it’s by mass exposure they are normalizing one of the most destructive addictions available.  If gambling sites weren’t winning so much, how could they get so huge and prevalent  ?   
 

This is no different that the opioid crisis. It too was ignored with lobbying politicians.  It’s not hard to do the right thing content providers. Stand up and stop this before ruining so many people and families.  All you have to do is ask , do you want your children getting involved with this addiction?  It’s absurd. 

I’ll buy steering interest in games but I don’t buy it to that level. Plus it was the right move

I wasn't around here, but I hope everyone is enjoying Chiefs victory

I am glad the Chiefs didn’t cover, they didn’t deserve to.

So Andy Reid's decision to take the safety just caused all the Chief fans who bet on the Chiefs to cover the spread to LOSE?   That is too funny!

yeah agreed… killed time off the clock and still kept it a 2-possession game. I don’t think there was anything nefarious there

Stroud is a classy player who plays with heart

 

Stuck around post game to take pictures with people and handed gear to a chiefs fan

Recency bias. The Pats aren’t still the worst because they were division rivals.

Mahomes literally dove to try and draw a roughing the passer. I don’t think I have ever seen any other QB dive like that.

[Dr.Mantis_Toboggan]

I’m telling my defenders anytime they get near Mahomes to just annihilate him, plain and simple. He gets cute by trying to draw flags, make him earn those yards...

 

I mean, it’s a given fact every close game the Chiefs have played this year, the refs ARE going to extend their drives regardless of what you do. Where’s the incentive to just not pummel Mahomes at that point? The flags are coming no matter what, might as well tee off…

Yes!  Brady never cried like Mahomes.

 

Huh?  He was mister water works.  1000000x anything over ever seen from Mahomes

KC is the worst best team I've ever seen

You don’t really think that it’s mostly “Chiefs fans” who bet on the team, do you?

Of course. Only one team/one player can stop them from three-peating. This has been obvious for like 8 weeks.

Good lord… hopefully they spent all their black magic voodoo tonight. We need to handle business tomorrow, and do what nobody else has done this season.

 

 

Go Bills. 

How great would that be, for the bills too beat them twice, when no one else could this year.

You think? I don’t know man. If Mixon and that team is able to run like they did then there’s no reason the Ravens line and Henry wouldn’t.

I love how after the blocked FG the network subtracted a point from the Texans. For a minute or two they had the score as 23-11.

I think you’re on to something.   There’s only ONE counter argument to the league fixing or scripting games.   That is, it would be the largest, dumbest, stupidest strategy any business ever had.   When you’re growing revenue at record rates, and you sell competition, you do NOT do anything that jeopardizes competition.

Did any chiefs get injured during this game? I saw Chris jones getting worked on (looked like a calf) at one point but wasn’t able to watch with enough focus to see the ins and outs of the game
