It’s truly amazing that we won this game. San Diego really outplayed us most of the game and was getting a ton of extra help from the refs. It felt like this game was their Super Bowl and I would imagine the Chargers are gonna be flat next week. [Reply]

I was stunned they didn't go for it. Did they really think Mahomes wouldn't be exactly at the same point as if they missed within 4-5 plays? Evidently...
Yeah the loss was on the HC today, not the players. [Reply]

This reminded me of the Lions game from last season. We won in confusing and uncomfortable fashion and I felt like I never wanted to watch the highlights or talk about the experience ever again. It was like a typical experience in Vegas. [Reply]

It sounds like we should go to Vegas sometime. Or maybe we should never go to Vegas. But I'm pretty sure we should go. [Reply]

They wanted the Chargers to celebrate a win in their opening game in the new stadium, plain and simple. You could almost see it on the faces of the Chiefs’ players. Something was off and they knew it, it happened to them 2 years ago against the Rams too.
Unfortunately for the league office, we’re just too ****ing good.
Refs took off 4 points...two FS penalties on KC kicks. They also ignored a FS when LA converted a 4th and 1...which would have ended an eventual TD drive.
That's 11 points just from calling and "non-calling" three false starts at timely moments. This is how the NFL "massages" games...luckily Buttkicker defied them...
They had two "ticky-tack" holding calls when the Chiefs looked to be ending the game....again at crucial moments.
It was pretty obvious the NFL wanted the Chargers to win in their first game a SO-FI....
Raiders are opening their stadium tomorrow...something to keep an eye on. [Reply]

My take on the Tyreek play where he removed his helmet.
I believe he was out of bounds when he removed it, I watched it a couple times.
While true in real time it kind of seemed like it popped off but he did remove it himself but he was out of bounds at that time. Which means he was not on the field at the time so technically it was NOT a penalty. Correct? [Reply]
You just dont want to trust your eyes...everyone in this thread noticed it.
If Buttkicker didn't hit 3 consecutive 50+ FGs in OT, ..this game could have easily gone LA's way. They definitely made it as difficult as possible...
Refs can "nudge" games by calling and ignoring...but players still have to make plays...unless you are the Tom Brady Pats...then they just hand you games. [Reply]

He was out of bounds and had already scored, so the play had been over for a few seconds before he took it off. [Reply]

You should definitely go, although it’s a completely different scene there from what it used to be in the old days. Just don’t get married there. [Reply]
