It doesn't matter whether it's Bengals fans, the media, other NFL fans, etc. the crying over the Chiefs/Bengals game is like nothing I've ever seen before.
There wasn't some super obvious bad call/non-call either like the Saints/Rams that one year.
Is it because it's the Chiefs? Are we really in everybody's heads to the point that they're losing their fucking minds?

If the Chiefs had originally got a first down and had to redo it, we would hear nothing about that sequence. As it was the idiots can't seem to grasp KC had a TD, Interception and long kick return called back via penalty. [Reply]
It is truly unlike anything I've ever witnessed in my life in pro sports. It's such a slap in the face to Mahomes and Kelce who gutted out amazing performances, and our defense who utterly dominated Burrow.
I have people at work who used to scoff at me when I claimed games were steered now saying that game was 100% rigged. The craziest part is, there wasn't a single illegitimate call given to the Chiefs. Not one. It's just insantiy. [Reply]

Yep, going to go out on a limb and say that a lot of the pundits that are crying about the Chiefs' win lost a hefty sum betting on the Been-Gals. [Reply]
The NFL is in the gambling business so they can blame themselves for the rigged narrative with every call. Bitching about OL holding in the playoffs is a joke. It only gets called mostly if it directly affects scoring like it did on our TD. Both teams hold on the line. [Reply]
Unpopular opinion, but the block in the back was a costly miss by the refs. Without that call we probably go into OT. Where burrow chokes and mahomes leads a game winning drive. I understand some of the beef. But crying about intentional grounding and roughing of either qb or the holding (as if they weren’t letting that fly all game long) is overkill. We still had the biggest screw job against new england. [Reply]

Did you see another angle of it? It didn't look forcible to me. [Reply]
I could see the bitching about the Frank Clark shove on Burrow that caused him to fall backwards a full second or 2 after the ball was gone. That's usually called. But it was right on the borderline.
The block in the back on the return, yep, looked pretty bad from the angle on TV. I can see them bitching about that not being called.
Other than that...whatevah...calls get missed all the damn time. [Reply]
