Both decisions are absolutely critical in deciding the game. We shouldn’t have ever let the Chargers be in that situation, but there is no arguing that they ****ed us today and changed the outcome with that critical call.

Exactly my point. Should of resigned him or pickup a # 2. They could go get Josh Gordon probably is he won't be much and take time to learn the offense. [Reply]

They should send three down field with hands joined and drag every defender down into the endzone and follow it with the catch man. Force the dumb fucks to change their stance.
Preferably at halftime with the lead. I'd rather not throw away a chance to actually win a game. :-) [Reply]
You do realize that if that is called and KC scores...then the 85% of money on the over point total goes away and Vegas loses its ass?
72% of the money was on KC covering the 7 points....the 4th and 9 PI call protected it. If they dont and the Chiefs drive down and score...it's a wash.
Vegas covered both and made mucho $$$ on two timely calls/no calls...there is a reason the saying "the house always wins" exists.
It just takes one or two in the final few minutes to "massage" the numbers...doesn't always work but they try.
I guarantee you, 100%, if Vegas was on the other side of potentially losing a 85% haul at the end...it's called. [Reply]

But if you're going to back off the flags in that situation, I don't really think you should be calling a critical fourth-down drive ultra-tight 30 seconds earlier.
Aren't the Chargers playing in a new stadium? Which team has the most potential NFL gear sales?:-) [Reply]

This is absolutely false. Especially when it took a bullshit PI call and a bullshit no call for them to even be ahead. If a team is going to allow another team to remain within 1 score even after the turnovers and bullshit officiating, then you absolutely can complain about losing in the final seconds and to argue otherwise is incredibly dumb.

I've noticed that ever since the Chargers moved to LA, they've started getting all sorts of favorable calls/no-calls that they never got in San Diego. The NFL is desperate to save face for allowing the dumbest relocation in sports history and seem to think that gifting the Chargers wins will fix everything.
It still hasn't helped them much since they're still the same dysfunctional franchise with the worst owners in sports, playing in a city that doesn't want them. [Reply]

I don't think Sammy signs with us at the bargain price the Ravens got him for, was the problem. But who knows? This offense is nowhere near what it was with Sammy and Hunt just a few seasons ago, or Damien Williams for that matter. When any of our RB's get the ball, there is zero chance they're gonna take it to the house or even break any tackles for that matter. Also, when Hill and Kelce are covered, it's a crap shoot.
