Buccaneers were the beneficiary of 27 PI calls this 2020 season, Kansas City received 4.
No other team had more than 19 (Miami/Pittsburgh) and 28 teams had less than 15.
Buccaneers were the beneficiary of 12 PI last year with Winston throwing for over 5000 yards...
Brady's Bucs received 15 more PI calls than the same team did last season...and set an NFL record.
Brady had 12 more PI calls than 28 other teams....16 more than 21 teams. He was essentially getting twice the PI calls of nearly every other franchise...and 7 times the amount as Mahomes.
25 teams had 11 or less...
Numbers dont lie...only the media about Brady's "greatness"
Chiefs were called for 2 PIs in one quarter of the SB...they only had their opponents flagged 4 times all year. [Reply]
Don’t get me wrong. The gameplan that the Chiefs ran with backup OTs was horrendous and the dropped balls killed them.
But....
The refs effectively neutered our defense after two three and outs to start the game. That changed everything about the game.
It allowed their offense to continue drives and score points. This killed our pash rush and neutered our blitzes. It also put our offense behind and made us pass even more. [Reply]

When there are clear numbers to indicate something, there is no 'conspiracy theory' involved.
When you see Tom Brady get calls nobody else gets with your own eyes for 20+ years and see the numbers to back it up, it just is what it is. You can either accept it or pretend it doesn't exist, but it clearly does. [Reply]

Right. It's not a conspiracy, it's just favoritism. [Reply]

It also put our offense behind and made us pass even more, while the Bucs were allowed to hold, have illegal contact and commit at least one blatant DPI, which made our line look even worse.

Chiefs gifted the Buccaneers 11 points with the Mecole Hardman offsides and Reid being a fucking dumbass to end the first half. Yeah, the refereeing was hilariously one sided to start the game, and Reid did fuck all about it.
Where was this at from Reid? He's had no problem calling the refs out on their bullshit before, and this team played even harder because of it. I don't think it was the ref ball that killed this teams spirit, we've dealt with that before. It was the complete lack of passion from Reid in response that nailed our coffins.
I can't blame him because we all know the circumstances surrounding what happened, but this along with the failure to make much of if any in game adjustments from the coaching staff along with the general horridness from the offense and you get what happened last Sunday. I'm sure it fucking sucks for everyone in the organization. Hopefully they'll use this feeling of bitterness to come back even stronger next season. [Reply]
