Mithrandir Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Bringing up penalties in a game where one team DOMINATED is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I wanted the Chiefs to win, and can't stand Lil' Tommie, but the ref blaming is classic. Fact is, they held the Chiefs to 3 field goals and Mahomes to less than 300 yards passing. They were beaten by a better team. Or is it, STOP THE STEAL!?

78jazz Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yep. I may feel bad for the Chiefs though. A potential PR DISASTER may be waiting when they return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Good thing I gave up watching the blowout. Otherwise, I'd have to watch another stupid Scientology commercial this year since I see it trending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine that you don't have the experience to discuss poor officiating. No need to be a child about it, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) From USA Today: "There's no conspiracy. There's no Commissioner Roger Goodell hitting a button that connected directly to the cerebral cortex of the refs that caused them to punish the Chiefs. It was none of that. It was a normal NFL problem that's been one for years. The inconsistency of NFL officiating is the issue. One week, such as the NFC Championship game between the Buccaneers and Packers, the officials let them basically clobber each other. It was UFC fight in that game. Then, a week later, the rules seem to change. Things are called much tighter. This is a weekly thing in the NFL and has long been a problem." No whining. Just simple observation of what transpired. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/4431555001 Edited February 8, 2021 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's truly the case, vs someone's opinion, the Chiefs failed to change their style of play and adapt to the tighter calls. Yet another failure on their part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's truly the case, vs someone's opinion, the Chiefs failed to change their style of play and adapt to the tighter calls. Yet another failure on their part.No doubt. I'm sure they knew that Head Ref Cheffer's crew led the league in flags per game. Andy Reed referenced it pre-game. Yet, it is the Super Bowl, and one would expect more prudent use of the flag. Also, you'd expect it to be more balanced with things like holding, which you can call on every play if you want to. ETA: This is far from one person's opinion. It has become a major discussion point post-game. Edited February 8, 2021 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 I don't think it changed the ultimate outcome, as TB had a great defensive scheme. But the officiating certainly affected the overall quality of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the officiating certainly affected the overall quality of the game.And it definitely changed the outcome of the first half, leading to an overturning of an INT, and the late 2nd qtr TD. Take away those plays and it's pretty much an even game at the half rather than one where KC had to make up a sizable deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bucs were awarded six in the first half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I kept thinking the officials were making bad calls into I was the replays. Each time Kansas City did commit the foul. It may have been just barely committed, but it was, and KC never adapted to the officiating crew's patterns, which was fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Regardless Mahomes was running for his life all game. I read that he broke the record for most yards run before throwing a pass. TB defense was relentless. Complaining about the refs is a past time that all fans partake in. Fact is TB won this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa was the better team, for sure. But that doesn't preclude criticism of the officiating being valid. It was inexcusably bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how well Tampa Bay would have handled, say Fran Tarkenton. For me, he was the king of ducking and dodging pass rushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 What a disappointment (for the Chiefs fans). Yes, the refs were excessive, but the Chiefs had no answer for the weak o-line, the receivers dropped a couple of balls that hit them in the face, the punter decided to have his rookie jitters at the worst possible time, the d-line couldn't get any pressure, etc., etc. What was with the two timeouts just before the half? This was like some Andy Reid throwback clock management. Basically, it was a cascade of the worst combination of things at exactly the wrong historical moment. The saddest words of tongue or pen: "what might have been." So, well done to the Buccaneers and Brady. Moving on, I'm still looking forward to years of Mahomes-ness!

Chicken hawk Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Mahomes’ fiancee Brittany Matthews — who is expecting the couple’s first child — took to Twitter Sunday night to comment on how ESPN was tweeting screenshots of the quarterback looking … I guess I’d say confused and generally shocked at how the night was unfolding.

Syrinx Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Listen as a Cowboys fan I have complained about the refs for years. Still can't get over the Dez non catch! And if you want to complain about o-line injuries, we would have won the Super Bowl if it wasn't for our decimated o-line this year! You can count on it! ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
