@Jett129 the issue is that they were letting it go the entire game and chose to enforce it at a key moment. A lot of calls are judgment calls (and a lot of those non-reviewable) and they are inconsistent with those.
It's just a simple fact that the officials change outcomes. AFC Championship had some bad examples. The Bills still had their opportunities and their loss is on them, but they were on the wrong end of numerous terrible calls and spots.
The SB started with a horrendous example that killed the Birds' opening drive. Ironically the make-up call for that one was the one that was cashed in. I'd say the Eagles in the end benefited from more shitty calls than the Chiefs, but the Eagles were a much better team such that it didn't much matter what the officials did.
The 2018 NFC Championship no-call on a blatant DPI is another example if you want to go outside the Chiefs. Denied us Brees v Brady and we instead got the worst SB in history.
That the NFL won't even make it a full time job tells you all you need to know about how seriously they take officiating. Also that they aren't using the chip that's already in the ball to help with accurate spots. Also that their challenge system requires coaches to do their job for them. Etc

@mclaincausey You make a lot of valid points. I don’t remember how the officiating was going in that Chiefs Super Bowl. I agree with you on that call in the 2018 NFC Championship game,just horrific. I think the city of New Orleans might’ve sued the NFL and won on that one. I watch a lot of football,not just The Chiefs,and every team in just about every game,at some point,will get a debatable/questionable call. Inconsistency abounds.

@Jett129 yep agreed. A lot of Saints fans understandably gave up on football after that. And it's hard not to think that there was something behind it since multiple officials had a clear view of the foul and the NFL has had a boner for the Los Angeles market for decades.
Not saying that's the case, but the officiating becomes so egregious that you look for explanations.

@mclaincausey yeah he does, but if I’m being honest I hated him at Boise state haha

Rodgers apparently doesn’t want to go to Minnesota because he doesn’t want to replicate the trajectory of Favre. It’s really the only place that makes sense but sure let your ego torpedo your legacy…. AGAIN. 
-
@mclaincausey I hadn’t heard that The Vikes actually wanted him. Seems like the word on the street is that they really want McCarthy to be the starter. All the outlets I’ve watched are only talking about The Giants and Steelers. Either way the torpedos are coming.

Despite Ticketmaster doing their utmost to screw up the sale, I’ve managed to get tickets for the Broncos at Jets game in London in October.
I’m 5 for 5 for home team losses when seeing games in the US (Mets, Phillies, Rays, Knicks & Nets), but I am 1 for 1 wins for games in the UK (Jets), so hoping that run continues! Sorry @Mizmazzle @mclaincausey !#JustStopCrocs

@Nocturama that's awesome you are going to the London game. I would love to attend one of those.
I just saw that the Browns are considering taking on Justin Tucker. What the fuck man.
