But you are conveniently leaving out several missed calls that should have gone against the Pats. I recall an early drive where your CB had hands on Watkins arm so that he couldn't really reach for the ball on 3rd down. And that probably happened a lot in this game. The only team that was getting called for PI most of the time was the Chiefs. And correct me if I'm wrong but I don't recall the Pats getting a single holding call on offense. All this and I haven't even mentioned the few times that a PF roughing penalty should have been called.
So I don't want to hear how bad the refs were and how it should have gone to OT. Hell, if they had gotten some of those other calls correct then it probably would not have even been close enough for that terrible out of bounds call to even matter. [Reply]

After all the calls that have screwed us over the years I don't care. There was roughing penalty picked up as well as the BS PI call on the first drive. Fuck the patriots. [Reply]

We'll be better. This one's on us. We have to do better.
Too bad your team doesn't train as well :-) [Reply]

Of course but the narrative will set up a game where the Chiefs get Flagged for coughing and the Patriots can get "revenge" [Reply]

Refs are changing the shirt in the playoffs. We need to be better there.
No problem, as long as we can go back and retroactively take back all the bogus wins, aided by the zebras, that the Pats got over the years. You know, those wins that helped them get HF throughout the playoffs because, you know, Tom Brady? You remember those, right? Yeah, fuck that, and go cry somewhere else.

Illegal formation on the blocked punt as well. Lined up over the center within 1 yard of LOS [Reply]
