Re the Bills vs Chiefs yesterday. Yet again IMO blatant bias toward KC. Refs split hairs on ball placement and calls in the 2nd half.
The Bills did not play their best by any measure, but 3 critical calls by the Refs tipped the game to KC.
I didn’t have a dog in the hunt in yesterday’s games, but NFL bias with KC is obvious…

I would think the Buffalo Bills could file a complaint if the referee bias is obvious. It would help in future games.

Between the nonsense "simultaneous catch" and the questionable ball placement. This win for KC should have a big asterisk in the record books.

I also wanted Buffalo to win and was watching for bad calls but I really didn't see anything blatant.

In a jump ball the offense wins. The dual catch *might* have been called incomplete but I'm pretty confident Buffalo would have argued otherwise if they had been awarded the catch. It was close but it seemed like it could go either way and, again, the offense keeps possession on a jump ball.

The ball placement could have gone either way. The Bills did not clearly advance the ball enough and even in the replay it was difficult to say exactly where the ball was.

There were two questionable calls that went against KC.

Either team could have played just a little better to take a more decisive lead. In the end, KC had just a little more luck with their plays than the Bills did.

Dual possession goes to the offence, happened at the end of a GB Seattle game a few years back. DB went up and got and the receiver jumped on it to make it a jumped ball. Offence gets it, tie goes to the runner.

On the spot the QB was facing backwards and his back barely got to the line to gain, but its where the ball was not where he was.

As a life long Vikings fan, I identify with Buffalo, but I don't think these were biased calls. Just my 2 cents worth.

The ball touched the ground before anyone possessed it. Should have been incomplete.

OR ...

The ball was firmly held between the players and while the point of the ball touched the ground, the ground did not cause the ball to move and the ground did not aid in the catch and so there was not enough to overturn the call.

One thing I like about football is that when the game is over, it's over.

Don't have a horse in this race, but man-o-live.......the Ref's were additional players for the Chiefs

[Michael G.]

I always refer to the play-offs as the second season with two teams left standing.
And their all called by the ref's as to who wins or losses.
The second season always brings out the bitch'en about the refs, (unless your team won).
It's a job that I wouldn't want.

Re the topic, I will project with great confidence that KC will achieve their 3rd straight SB title.

Thanks refs…. In the bag.

Except it wasn't. They showed the replay multiple times and the ball was not controlled by anyone.

[Stu from NYC]

It does seem like KC gets most of the calls.

Don’t have replay option? But they probably don’t want loose time out if they are wrong?

Losers always look for excuses.
