Pathetic.

No way you call that on the biggest play of the game. Let the players decide the outcome.

Officiating is so awful in this league.
That’s not how it works. You can’t push someone like that when they clearly were stepping out of bounds, especially a QB.

chiefs are half dead and lost 3 receivers today but it dont matter cuz we all know these were the 2 best teams in the league and the eagles havent even had to play a real football game in months

You can. NFL and the refs wanted KC to go forward and the terrible officiating went in one direction tonight. What a sham league.

Watched it with 3 other non football fans with no horse in the race...everyone thought it was pathetic.

Zebras won tonight.

Great game ruined by a dumb ass penalty by that defender.


That dude better be walking home.

People saying that unnecessary roughness call ruined the game and blatantly ignoring the rest of the shitty officiating in that game. That was fucking horrible. Mostly in favor of the Chiefs.

Yup. Awful way to enter the Superbowl. What a *$#! call.

An NFL game where the refs were shit? No way......

It was 100% the right call.

Mahomes was WELL out of bounds before Ossai got close to shove him.


Dumb choices get you dumb results.

And if you watch football, you'll know that's not called ~75% of the time. To call it during the most important play in the AFC championship game is a mockery. NFL is a complete clown show right now.

"Unnecessary roughness"

Defender knew every yard mattered at that point. Unconscionable to think he should be looking at Mahomes feet when he's skating on the sideline trying to get every yard he can. What a joke.

That is 100% weapons grade BS. A superstar QB getting shoved blatantly late out of bound is called 99.9% of the time. Especially in the modern NFL.


If you need to cope then by all means, but don't act like I'm stupid please lol

Ridiculous.

He's not a superstar QB at that point. He's a runner fighting for vital yardage at that point in the game. Getting shoved with 2 hands is now unnecessarily rough? Mahomes flopping his arms really fooled you? Expecting the LB, who's sprinting at full speed, to look down at Mahomes feet and pull up because half of his foot was out of bounds is laughable. Unnecessary roughness my ass...

It's not even debatable. The refs are all anyone is talking about right now. That only happens when the zebras f@#$ up.

Was he clearly out of bounds?

Yes.

Was he shoved once he was clearly out of bounds?

Yes.


Outcome? Don't make stupid penalties and you won't lose the fucking game.

No, it wasn't clear.

In the heat of sport you finish the play. If Mahomes wants to act like a RB he should be treated like a RB. Unnecessary roughness exists to prevent cheap shots, not to allow star QBs to draw cheap penalties by skirting the sideline.

Outcome? Don't make stupid penalties and you won't lose the fucking game.
Alternatively...don't let refs ruin games and you won't have everyone talking about how the refs botched one for the ages. #NFLRigged.

My brother in Christ Mahomes took 3 fucking steps out of bounds before the defender touched him. Look at the picture I posted earlier. If you wanna be pissy that the Chiefs won then go for it, but don't invent alternate realities where this was somehow a close call.


Dear god the playoffs always bring out the worst tinfoilers I swear.

It's funny how "3 steps out of bounds before defender touched him" turns into .5 steps when you go from "but muh picture" to multiple video angles.




You bought the weak acting job. Two hand touch is too rough for ya. Flag football here we come.

It was called on the field.

Confirmed in the booth by the officiating expert with the cast.

The announcers also talked about how dumb it was.


Literally EVERY SINGLE sports cast tomorrow and going into the week will talk about how dumb the mistake that Ossai made was and hopefully at that point you can accept you are just wrong and move on with your life.


Go Eagles.

Its disappointing that the 49ers weren't able to play with Purdy but that's the game unfortunately. I haven't looked at their entire roster but I believe most will be back next year so I am guessing that they will go pretty far again. Would love another Super Bowl win tho, that 1995 win is feeling a bit stale at this point, especially with the 2 heart breaking losses since then.

Yeah Purds getting hurt ruined what fould have been a great game. I feel like everyone was robbed of a great storyline there.

Every sport is rigged. If you just realized this about the NFL, i have a bridge to sell to you. It’s one of the reasons why i watch less and less of the NFL. Tuck rule anyone?

Men_in_Boxes Men_in_Boxes is this you? He intentionally shoved Mahomes instead of avoiding contact. Don’t give me that “can’t avoid at full speed” bs. And like i said before, shoving anyone when they are heading out of bounds will get you flagged, more easily if its a QB.

I'm loving that the game ended with that shove because it really shows how far people have deluded themselves to where they are willing to argue a call that has 0 ambiguity 😂

Just close enough to let it go and not essentially end the game on that call ... 'let the players decide'.

The worst part about it is....at least with a PI or something like that at the very end, it's something actually effecting the game. Here the play was already done. Common sense was def not a factor here unfortunately.

I'm not watching the superbowl this year. You're a patsy if you don't think the league is rigged.

That second clip is completely out of context. McAfee spent over half an hour explaining how the league isn't rigged. He, AJ Hawk, and Adam Schefter were openly laughing at the idiots who think the league is somehow rigged.



If you genuinely are going to sit there and tell me that you think the NFL is rigged then I need you to explain to me how the NFL is somehow keeping this a secret despite having tens of thousands of people involved in their operation between players, coaches, referees, support staff, medical staff, etc etc and none of them are leaking any of this to the media in a day and age of a 24-hour news cycle. Not only is it not leaking but they aren't even rigging it in their favor apparently. Because if this was actually rigged then a small market team like the Jags wouldn't have made it to the playoffs in the first place and the Cowboys who are the most popular team in the country would have at least done a single goddamn thing in the last 20 years. And that also doesn't explain the absolute tear that Tom Brady went on. Because you would think that if the league was rigged they would want to make it at least appear to not have any kind of trends or predictable patterns. Yet Tom Brady went to a million Super Bowls in his 80-year career.


And that's not even getting into the Mount Everest sized pile of shit that would come their way if even a hint of it being rigged in any way at all ever surfaced. You would have the mother of all lawsuits on your hands because every sport book, gambler, casino, and everyone else that has a vested financial interest in the various outcomes of the sport would come for the NFL's throat. So I will need you to also explain to me why the NFL would ever risk that kind of exposure when they are happily setting revenue records for themselves and have ratings off the fucking charts. Why would you risk everything to rig the outcome of a few games? Oh that's right........you wouldn't.



Being big mad because you didn't like the outcome of a game or you think referees did a bad job is one thing, but putting on a tin foil hat and suddenly declaring an entire professional sport is rigged like it's fucking wrestling is absolutely ridiculous and you should be embarrassed. And that is not to say that the NFL is perfect and it does not have any problems. It has been abundantly clear for a few years now that they have a very big officiating problem that needs to be addressed and these playoffs are just the latest chapter in that story.


But shitty officiating does not a rigging make.

Fingers on the scale vs. Guaranteed outcome.
Betting influences the fix more than which markets progress.

NFL tells referees how to call games. There's a soft mechanism that exists to tilt the outcomes in the houses favor. Yesterday, they tilted a little too hard and everybody watching saw.

NBA never cared that we caught their hand in the cookie jar did they?

But thieves that don't get caught usually only do one job right?

Being big mad because you didn't like the outcome of a game
*fart*
or you think referees did a bad job
Bingo!

Don't worry. The NFL has a new batch of Progressive commercials for you to watch in a couple of weeks. Get ready for the big game and grab some Bud Lite with some Tostitos.

Be a good fan. Don't be skeptical.

Mib don't know what he's talking about. He went into the game thinking it's rigged for the chiefs even tho chiefs are like 1-5 vs bengals and now he grasping at straws and deluding himself with arguments that actually work against him. If you watch any other sports you'd know the nfl is one of the least corrupt leagues there is. And Cheffers is reffing the SB, which everyone knows that means the chiefs are going to get royally fucked... But we don't care you don't see us crying or making excuses or making tinfoil hat accusations. A half dead mahomes with no WRs left is still fucking legendary
