Being at the game, it's a little hard to judge because they don't always show replays of penalties. Or they don't show multiple angles. So, was his crew good, bad, or something else? Were they as bad as you expected? [Reply]

I think that's where the "forcible contact" portion comes into play.
Hitch easily could have just got in the guy's way or broken down and went for a normal sort of block, but he chose instead to blow the guy up. [Reply]
There were some really bad calls (for both teams), but pretty fair for the most part.
I would say that nothing his crew did significantly impacted the game. I know Denver fans will cry about the muffed punt ruling, but if you look at the slow mo replay, not only was Pringle blocked into him, the Denver guy running with him was holding on to the front of his jersey and pulling him with him. So it was the right call. And I'm sure they will also complain about the Travis Kelce 'fumble', but he hadn't taken two full steps after securing the catch or made a 'football move', so the ruling on that of an incomplete pass was correct. Almost the exact same thing happened with Jeudy later in the game and they didn't rule it a fumble, so fair for both.
So, all in all, for a Carl Cheffers crew, I actually think they did a pretty decent job and at least didn't fuck us over monumentally like I was expecting. [Reply]

Yeah, I loved that block but when they showed that replay, I knew it was the correct call. They have made a point to call those for the past year or two. Players know that is a penalty. Hitch, especially as a veteran, can't make dumb decisions like that. [Reply]
1. Fuck Cheffers. God I hate that piece of dogshit.
2. He hurt them more than us, but good fuck there were a bunch of shit calls. The worst one being Mahomes False Start, but they Missed a Brown False Start early - I think it was the 4th down play. Regardless, they hurt them more than us so whatever.

THIS!
The pass interference on Kelce was nothing but payback for Kelce's comment about Cheffers and the hitchens call was also bullshit. [Reply]
