Because he's panicking. He got pushed off and his first thought is catch back up and break it up.

Why call holding on the first play of LAC's final drive and set them back to 1st and 20?

This thread is dedicated to the final 10 seconds of the game...where the officials dictated the final outcome in that span.

The three most controversial calls/no calls (ones that led to points) came from the SJ/BJ officials in the exact same part of the field.

As I pointed out earlier, Lee Dyer threw that PI flag... and he was the BJ in last years Raiders game with all the late flags with no time on the clock.

Line Judge/Linesman have different responsibilities...(Holding).

The entire crew didn't screw the Chiefs late..Lee Dyer did. Remember his name...he deserves to be pointed out. He's a freaking sales manager...not a lawyer/doctor.

I certainly do not buy into any of this conspiracy crap but that was a rough game last night. Even when the calls were going our way on a TD drive I was not happy. Then the crap at the end. :-)

After that game was the first time I truly had the thought "the damned refs are taking the fun out of watching football." Has nothing to do with whether they are trying to influence the outcome. But they need to leave that laundry in their pockets and let these guys play the game. No team can get into a rhythm when every other play they have to stop and wait for the refs to congregate to determine what foul may have been committed.

Dude, you need to stop. BlackOp made some decent points and has a history of doing so on this subject. All you seem to be able to do is call him names. So you should just call him, "Daddy," because he owns you on this one.

Does anyone have access to NFL rewind or all 22. If so, can you pinpoint which ref threw that flag on Sorenson? Dyer is the BJ so he would be in the back...in the center.
[Reply]

I don’t recall off hand, but I think I remember someone in the game thread saying the BJ threw the flag. I could be wrong though.
[Reply]

Looks like he likes making controversial, game altering calls....he lives in Tennessee and called one for Tennessee.

"Dyer is the name that should stick out to SU football fans as he was involved in one of the most controversial plays in Orange history.

He made the disputed pass interference call on Sept 5, 1998 at the Carrier Dome as Syracuse barely lost to Tennessee 34-33."

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but this game had that WWE feeling from the VERY beginning. While I don’t think the NFL cares about who ultimately wins, I do believe they have an agenda, and want close games particularly Nationally televised games like Thursday night. It felt like the Refs/NFL didn’t want the Chiefs to pull away last night especially when they went up two TD’s under five minutes.

I don’t know if I’m jaded with all the comebacks against KC in the past but as soon as the Chargers started driving down 14 under 4 or 5 minutes you could almost turn off the game and feel confident you knew what was going to occur. From the penalties to burying KC deep with a penalty before KC’s last terrible offensive drive.

There’s a lot of blame to go around. I didn’t expect much from the team this year and Mahomes has been a blast to watch. I hate saying this though...the defense is SO BAD it takes all the fun out of watching Mahomes and the offense go to work. I mean SOOOO BAAAAD from the very beginning. With all that said...I can’t help but think there was a larger agenda at hand last night. Similar to the Rams game in the sense that everyone wanted a high scoring, high flying game. And guess what they got.

Yeah, he did push off, but that is almost never called these days.
[Reply]

Ya, because playing by the rules is sooooooo cliche.
[Reply]

Might have been nice as a makeup for the ticky tack DPI call on a most likely uncatchable ball - which ALSO had OPI on the play.
[Reply]

^false narrative^

The common denominator are the coaches.
[Reply]

This.
[Reply]

So, you think that's the ONLY time they've ever done that?

Or is it just the most obvious that you can recall off the top of your head?
