Yeah. We see this in... other areas of life in living color.
People would much rather choose to believe they were cheated than deal with the emotions associated with a loss.
Honesty brings with it responsibility, truth. Truth is seldom sweet; almost invariably bitter. Anger is much easier. Anger only ever confirms what we already believe about ourselves. Comfortable, lets us play the victim, makes us feel important. [Reply]

Why are you still watching?
This thread is nothing but misery loves company and hand-wringing about a game we haven't even played yet as we've already lost.
What possible entertainment or joy could you get from it if you believe all these things?
I certainly hope you don't live the rest of your life so paranoid.
OMG stop being obtuse.
If any person thinks that there is no nudging of calls or that they are all being nudged is being too black and white. It is pretty easy to believe that there is choreographing that happens in many games. If you do not believe your eyes when you see those calls happen that is on you. Just like if you don't want to believe the numbers that are obvious and blatant that is also on you.
Ever notice that games are called differently not only by different crews but also differently in the playoffs and then again in the SB? [Reply]

It's not about whether or not there is no nudging of calls.
It's about believing your team gets DELIBERATELY screwed time and again and still tuning in.
If you can see the absolute ridiculousness in that, I don't know what to tell you. [Reply]

It is only with certain refs and there are stats that prove that there is reason to believe that those few refs are deliberately screwing the Chiefs. Those stats were in a thread here a little while back. It made it to several of the shows and GMFB even did a story about it and did not discount the thoughts that there was something unusual surrounding those refs. [Reply]

I didn't realize even GMFB covered it. That's good news for us, maybe they'll think twice about it next time. [Reply]

Are you aware of how many wrestling fans exist?
Edit: I don’t think anyone has said we are gonna lose this game to the refs. It’s a thread discussing the ref crew we drew. Discussion about past games and results do factor into the thread. But I expect the reffing to be unbiased tomorrow. [Reply]
Bwahahaha the sheep talking about others deflecting the truth, much ironic, hypocrisy at its finest. If it helps soothe the deep wounds, you aren't stupid just deeply indoctrinated. [Reply]
hmmm I thought they did fine... I mean we didn't see Chris Jones strip sack, recover, and brace himself on the way down being called a Roughing the passer. [Reply]
I still don’t get the “no play” on 3rd down and if I were Cincy, I’d be frosty. And I think the holding on Humphrey that nullified the 2nd TD that became a FG was bogus. But it was not nearly as bad as a Cheffers game. [Reply]

A ref came running over to shut down the play because the clock was accidentally still running when it shouldn't have and it was so loud no one hear him. They showed the ref running over. It was valid. [Reply]
