Hard to beat the Chiefs and the refs every post-season

It’s not rigged but the refs are still not good at their jobs and the Chiefs do tend to get more favorable calls than most for whatever reason.  Probably because they are usually at home in the playoffs and there is an unconscious bias.

This is what most people truly believe. It literally only takes a couple of calls and the officials clearly call what they expect to see not what is happening. Even when they have replay they won't fix obvious mistakes

I think they’re scared to do anything to hurt the chiefs down the stretch in a game tbh.  I don’t think it’s outright rigged by any means though. 
 

the judgement calls down the stretch break their way at like a 10 to 1 ratio the last couple years lol it’s truly insane.  Rigged or not rigged doesn’t even matter really, it’s a huge problem no matter what the reasoning is

I'm curious, how old is your son?  Feel free to tell me to eff off if you don't wanna share.

 

I've been pretty hard core the past few years that it's the inconsistent refs more than any grand conspiracy - and have been pounding that into my college age boys. It was either last year or the year before that we got royally hosed against the Eagles on a play where Josh got called for grounding on a play where he got horse-collared and there was a Bill receiver clearly in the vicinity. Same year we benefited by a non-call when we mugged Waller in the end zone on the last play of the game.  Both calls were game changers, one for, one against.

 

I hate the whiny b!tch attitude of most football fans towards refs but I have to admit that when I saw the replays of all the spots in Bills/Chiefs it made me think that I may be naive.

 

 

He's 19. Yeah, I think it's YouTube and such that has really got him into this idea of rigging games. It's like everything out there now has to be challenged and questioned. I think I'm probably in the same

lane as you on all of it. Yeah I'll cry about the refs in some games just because it makes me feel

better in the moment, but this last game and maybe much of the year with the chiefs has really kinda got my attention. I still Do t  think it's rigged but I do think the refs can sway a bit here and there.

I’ll add that there’s multiple “give back” calls to the team that just got robbed by their mistakes in each game now which makes it feel rigged and controlled by the refs.

Sometimes that definitely seems true, which is not nearly as pleasant to watch as proper officiating.

I had a friend state it feels like the Eagles have to win by 14 in order to win by 3 on the scoreboard. That sums up the issue, it is not that the officials are giving the game away exactly but no one expects a clean and proper game from the refs, and it makes the games not fun to watch.

🤮 I’ve got it out for that place and I don’t even know why. Never been. Something about it being in SAN JOSE bothers me

You can't unsee this stuff anymore.  And if you convince yourself it doesn't exist,  your basically naive.  It does ruin the whole experience of watching what you're meant to believe as a fairly officiated game. But unfortunately that's not the case nor has it been since the Brady era.  The NFL has full control over their entertainment product.  And money will always dictate their decisions.

I think that this will be the most interesting Super Bowl ever, because:

 

1) Kelce has lost a step and we don't know how much longer he will play.

 

2) The NFL has already made a ton of Taylor Swift money. Goodell had to address accusations of the NFL being rigged, and these accusations are NOT from just Bills Fans by any means. Fans across the nation (if not the world) see what they suspect is happening.

 

3) The NFL could lose a huge amount of mony if fans lose interest in a sport with about as much integrity as the WWE. As @LA Bills Fansays above, money will always dictate their decisions.

 

Because of the above, I think that the NFL will let the Eagles win in order to save face. We might even get several screen shots of Taylor Swift crying to make this a memorable, emotional occasion to her young fans. Yes, I think that much of the game will be scripted. As one poster said above, the NFL is about them making money. 

 

I know that to many this will sound like a crazy conspiracy theory and perhaps it is. Either way it is merely jmo.

I am unsure if Taylor Swift has attended a game and the Chiefs have lost.

 

Every game she has attended this year, the Chiefs have won.

 

Why Taylor Swift might be the Chiefs' secret weapon in Super Bowl LIX against the Eagles

 

I think the fans who will not watch will be counteracted by the Swifties who will tune in if she is there and I am sure she will be given the extra interest she generates.

Reading the latest article on KC getting all the calls and the NFL denying it, but as this article stated, it's a problem for the NFL as that is the overall perception of things  and the league needs to erase that.

 

Got me thinking, is this an NFL problem or is it the same in all sports?  I'm guessing it's much worse in the NFL only because only 16 games are played and playoffs are all one and done's as opposed to best 4 of 7 so impact of calls is rarely felt as much??

I have a theory that the NFL has taken too much heat and the refs will reverse tomorrow.  The Swifties will be watching and that’s all they really need.  Help the Eagles to “disprove” the Chiefs stuff.  I care more about next season.  I’m not watching the game.

And it’s funny because all that’s needed to reverse the narrative is not to have seemingly every single call go their way in a crucial situation. That’s it.

There were plenty of fans saying basically the same for the AFCCG. "Hey the chiefs have a losing record with this ref." And so on. Many thought it was going to be a fair called game. All I know is there were plenty of questions to be asked and rightly so after that game. I don't expect anything to change tomorrow. KC will false start, hold and create PI without much of an issue. The eagle better be up by multiple scores at the end of the game. Like by 14 with less than 3 mins to go if they wanna shot at this.

There are no more ratings to be had after tomorrow.  A few bad calls against the Chiefs a voila …. No more conspiracy……until September when it’s Taylor time again.  Just a theory.

My theory is the only way to satisfied fans is for KC to lose. If KC wins there will be refs conspiracy issues even if the only flags thrown in the game are against KC.

I don’t think so. The evidence has to be there to outrage folks. If it’s a SB where calls are right, balls are spotted correctly, and hardly any flags are thrown - on both sides - then there can’t be much complaining about officiating. The better team won. If it’s another SB where a crucial call - a tug on a jersey - on an overthrown ball gifts KC a whole new set of first downs and the ability to run out the clock and kick a game winning FG, you can believe there will be complaints. That exact situation has already happened.
