Unfortunately this KC bias thing has found roots and is mostly not there. It all started because the refs protect the QB's (all of them) and Mahomes is deft at working himself to draw those protective penalties. That's no worse than what Bellacheat has done to work the rules for decades now. I'm a KC fan but not from there...and I'm kinda tired of the complaints being biased. The refs make calls that go both ways folks...and to believe they try to let KC win to to say they throw the games...gimme a break on that one...

Glad I'm not a ref. Hard job.

There is no question that both unnecessary roughness calls in the Houston game should have been reviewed and reversed. The NFL knows it too because they didn't assess fines. These two plays very well could have changed the outcome.

I understand how the referees would have called it in real time but if the analysts figured it out within seconds, the review booth certainly should have reversed it

Bingo, we have a winner!

One difference, NE cheated.

Losers always look for excuses and there were questions about calls one both sides but replays show the truth. Love how the blame never goes to bad coaching or playing.

I agree completely.

I tend to agree, the Chiefs do get the majority of close calls. On some of these roughing the passer calls Mahomes should be up for an academy award.

I’m pretty sure if it was “obvious”, the challenge flag would have been thrown in a millisecond

I’m not quite sure what you are suggesting. If you are suggesting that those played should have been reviewed then you are incorrect since they are not reviewable under the current rules. If you are suggesting that they should be reviewable then that is different and I would not be surprised if the NFL is considering a rule change.

Sorry you are you are in a kayfabe., but the industry is called Sports Entertainment for a reason.

refs aid and abet the nfl marketing desires, as confirmed on line by head ref Ed Hocule during the ref strike years ago. He said the NFL wants certain outcomes for marketing the Superbowl, and the refs will help, as subtle as they can. If you watch all nfl games with a critical eye, you can figure out who the NFL wants to win. But to the ref's defense, the coaches and athletes have to show up. Just like coaches throwing games for draft picks, there are goals for outcome manipulation.

Can there be any doubt be which team the NFL likes more for the Super Bowl? The team with the fans that threw snowballs at Santa Claus or the team that Taylor Swift likes ?

Your are right on the second penalty but roughing the passer became reviewable last year. And I believe that it was reviewed. Thank you for the information.

I don't think you are not aware that Eagles fans have improved their behaviour at home games. In fact they no longer have a jail at the stadium and a judge on standby.

They have so much respect for the game that they wait until they leave the stadium before committing any acts of criminal or disorderly conduct.

If you want to beat KC, you had better have a two touchdown lead going into the fourth quarter. They win virtually every close game, and coincidently, they "seem to get every call" when the game is close. Call it what you want, but I've seen it too many times to call it anything else. "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes" comes to mind.
