You know, the one on Mahomes’ interception. The refs called pass interference, announced the call, and then huddled together and voluntarily overturned their own call after they announced it.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Someone explain how that happens without a challenge. [Reply]

That's total horseshit on the refs and the NFL should call it out. Regardless of right or wrong, you can't give the qb a free play then pick the flag up.
One of my top 100 favorite things about Mahomes, the best player I've ever seen, is that he will try to take advantage of calls against the defense, but there is no fuckin' law that the refs are supposed to call any and every foul on the defense. A QB should not assume that it's a risk-free decision to try to get a free downfield shot just because a tight end got mugged by someone way the fuck smaller than the tight end. [Reply]

Even if the refs actually throw the flag and call the penalty? [Reply]

Pretty common. Just happened in steelers game. [Reply]

The call was announced to the fans, but one or more of the officials must have realized that it did not make any sense, as there was no way the call could be considered pass intereference and, it turns out, there is no way that the action that drew the flag, the grounding of Kelce, could be flagged because the ball was flying over his head when Kelce was hitting the ground.
It was simply a bad call, which the officials corrected. That's how it's supposed to work. That's how it has been working lately in sports. I've seen more calls be corrected by officiating crews on their own initiative in the past 10 years than I ever saw in the 30 to 40 years before then. I have zero problem with them doing that, fixing stupid calls.
I want the Chiefs to beat other teams. We weren't the better team today. The officials didn't have shit to do with that.
right, it's called 'illegal contact', and it's a 5 yd penalty + automatic 1st down.
Unless they've made it legal to tackle receivers as long they're not the target and I missed it. [Reply]

It was a terrible pass because mahomes thought it was a free play. That's the part that makes the refs actions bullshit. If you give the qb every indication it's a free play, then refs should own their mistake. [Reply]

They announced a change of possession. Said "first down pittsburgh," huddled up, threw a flag, and changed possession. Changing a call after it is announced is not uncommon. [Reply]

I can’t envision what you’re trying to describe but it doesn’t sound anything like what I’m talking about. [Reply]
This call was a game changing call...a complete game changer.. If KC is allowed to continue, they score at this point in the game. That score changes the game.
I firmly believe the NFL is rigged...and IDGAF if that's the case and KC wins a SB...but this league is fucking bullshit and it's rigged. [Reply]
