Chiefs Vinovich/Blakeman to officiate championship games

Well OK...looks like the NFL have their two hit-man crews in place.

Vinovich was the one who had the worst no-call in post-season history...handing the Rams an undeserved trip to the SB.

Blakeman handled our 2018 AFCCG...calling late fouls on Jones for almost touching Brady's facemask...and Ford's neutral zone infraction without prior warning.

The two created the lowest-rated SB in modern history...It was the only one I didn't bother to watch.

Blakeman is doing Brady's game again and is notorious for favoring the visiting team...and NE.

I'd have to say Vinovich/NFL knows 100's of millions are at stake if Mahomes misses the SB...

There is a ton of money on the Bills right now...

I really hope the refs dont dictate the outcome like in 2018...but it's the same two crews.

Yes you do...he's the NFL's "go to" official.

They already robbed the football world of a Brees/Mahomes SB...please dont make us watch that cheating toolbag again.

The whole planet wants a Rodgers/Mahomes SB....

JFTR...Blakeman also handled the NE/Jaguars AFCCG.

That might have the 2nd worst officiated championship game in modern history...yet here that douche is again...attached to Brady's hip.

Just happy the NFL's fixation with Brady has moved to the NFC...

The conspiracy theorist in me is concerned that the NFL wants a "feel good" story of Brady being the first one to win a Super Bowl in his home stadium with the bonus "feel good" story of it being in front of a bunch of local health care workers.

In that Rams/Saints game a couple of years ago they definitely let the secondary have their way with the receivers. The call at the end of that game was the worst call I’ve ever seen and truly made me think that the refs had an agenda for that game.

But on the flip side...Rodgers was out to a 10 point lead against Brady...then vanished.

I found it suspicious at the time...and said "I bet they meet in the play-offs"

If the fix is really in...I would guess the NFL wants Rodgers.

Nobody watched the last SB Brady was in...

Anything is better than Clete.

Isn't this right? So bitching about him is nonsense. Besides, Mahomes is the NFL golden boy, all conspiracy should be in favor of him now.

Dont get me wrong...landing Vinovich was a score.

I mean if he is willing to ignore that play in the Saints/Rams game...what's he willing to do to ensure the NFL gets Mahomes.

I hate having to think about football in that context...but if they are going to favor a team...I would rather it be the one I like. :-)

We've had decades of being on the losing end of officiating...
