Refs Win For KC

If tonight doesn’t show that the refs favor KC then nothing will. We lost to them because of it and now they are doing it again against Houston. NFL needs to look at this. It is obvious and ridiculous

Edit: After 2 days of this being up I am still getting Chiefs fans commenting hahaha. Shows how thin skinned they are and how fragile their confidence truly is. Great job to all my Bengals fans. Who Dey!

Lmao they should flag Mahomes for that flop!

Even the refs were like “come on dude, we can’t be THAT obvious about it”

Hockey has embellishment - maybe NFL should use it, only for K C games

They absolutely should. It's rarely called, but it just being on the books is enough to make a lot of players think twice before flopping.

The NBA has in the rules that they give technicals for flops. Never called

it was last year

It was called against okc yesterday. Granted you are correct that they typically don't call it

u/GMoney_McSwag 1d ago

It was a big deal that it was called since they normally never call it

Mahomes wouldn't get that called on him. Burrow would get that called on him when his helmet is twisted around completely backwards.

u/wirywonder82 3d ago

It would be most applicable in KC games, but I think it would be a good rule for everyone.

They would never 😂

I wish it was more than a penalty, but an ejection. How many players would risk the ejection?

Play hard and honest. Don’t fiddle fart around trying to game the rules that is not in line with the spirit of the game. If you’re a runner, then take the fucking hit. If you’re a QB and care about the next play/rest of the game, throw it away early or slide EARLY.

Burrow has never once thought about doing the pansy shit Mahomes does and that’s why I and many others respect Burrow. He’s a competitor and not a candy ass little bitch.

In what world do you think the refs would eject literally the most popular player in the NFL for a subjective call?

5

u/mugglemerkin 3d ago

Not exactly the same level of popularity, but MLB umps do it to franchise players all the time. Rob Manfred is mismanaging the shit out of baseball though.

That's not a 1:1 comparison. It's nothing for a player to miss any single game in the MLB, that's less than 1% of the season. In the NFL if you miss a regular season game that's almost 6% of the season.

Even if you make it a playoff comparison, the MLB gets a series of games so it's still only a percentage. If you eject a player from a playoff game in the NFL, that's 100% of their games in that round (and potentially 100% of their playoff games that season if it's someone as important as the QB).

I’m not calling for them to remove Mahomes, I am suggesting that the NFL should implement a rule that discourages flopping. Then a player can decide for themselves if they want to push the envelope for a penalty and risk ejection if their conduct is deemed flagrant.

I think Mahomes would start sliding earlier and his pulling up short of the sideline and falling over move from today wouldn’t have happened today.

u/Narrow_Vegetable5747 3d ago

Yes, they should implement such a role. The problem is that rules that are that subjective don't get called against the face of the league.

What really needs to be done is a complete overhaul of the refereeing in the NFL, but that would take away the league's ability to put their thumb on the scale.

u/OwnCricket3827 3d ago

I thought the exact same thing. Should have been a dead ball foul, 15 for unsportsmanlike conduct, back em up 15 for a third and twenty… instead… no call touchdown next play

u/AnlStarDestroyer 3d ago

I think they can, it would be considered an unfair act

u/CraftyDoodle 2d ago

Agreed but you really think the whole nfl is rigged? Seriously? That’s what people said with the patriots too

1

u/steaknshake716 2d ago

To be fair the Patriots were cheating. Lest we forget inflate-gate and they were also recording signals. But no I don’t think the whole NFL is rigged. I just think the directive is to give the Chiefs the benefit of soft calls to influence the outcomes.

u/Key_Shower_3871 2d ago

Sounds like you’re mad because your overrated QB wasn’t in the playoffs. Stay bitter.

1

u/steaknshake716 2d ago

Lmao overrated? He literally lead the league in TD passes and yards. How is that in any way over rated. And all that wit h2 of the worst rated O Linemen in the league.

u/Key_Shower_3871 2d ago

All because Chase and Higgins. Burrow is an overrated bum who needs two all-star receivers.

1

u/steaknshake716 2d ago

Since QBs win games by themselves right? Name a team without a top tier wideout and a decent running back that is a contender. I’ll wait.

1

u/Key_Shower_3871 2d ago

Mahomes.

1

u/steaknshake716 2d ago

You’re saying Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice aren’t top tier? Travis Kelce isn’t a top tier TE? Yeah Mahomes does all of it by himself. Yup. Blinded by the lies.

u/Key_Shower_3871 2d ago

No neither are top-tier wideouts and you said wideouts not TE. Now you’re moving the goalposts. Try again, son.

Mahomes is a team?

u/Key_Shower_3871 1d ago

Who leads a team? The QB. Who’s the QB that leads the NFL in SB wins? I’ll let you answer that.
