    We knew that the moment they were going to let the Bengals play a game at Baltimore in the playoffs based on a coin flip.

    Their uniforms are a hell of a lot better than our current ones.

    The Chiefs should make sure the Ref Crew from this game get a small cash prize for this farce. This was the WORST crew of officials I've ever seen do a championship level game. The Cincy HC should say what he really thinks in the presser but the NFL muzzled that kind of reaction with stiff fines.

    I said the fix is in at least twice and Nanzt has found new balls to lick. He's just insufferable and Romo is no better.

    The refs have become something to overcome when you know which side they're on. I hate that to sound like sour grapes when a team should be able to win on their own merits but the egregiousness of the Cheats has turned me from jaded to Paranoid Polly.

    Funny part about paranoia is that paranoid people have a keen sense that's often correct no matter how off balance their sense of reality may appear to be.

    Time for KC to pay the refs. Having so called ref experts in the booth is a massive waste of time. No one ever says shit when they blow call after call.

    It's gotten to the point where a QB gets mugged and there's no call and someone breathes on a QB and it's RTP. It really is that bad; and yeah, the Jets . . . athough they certainly never help themselves.

    I'm not so sure it's blowing calls more like blowing or being blown by whoever.

    I can care less which team wins. Both teams have won a Super Bowl in the last few years.

    Andy Reid vs Former team makes for a good story line at least.

    Also I feel bad for the Bengals defender that had the penalty at the end. Mahomes was 100% going to ride the sideline for as long as he possibly could right there to get as close as possible. It was a smart play by Mahomes though but the defender is a bad spot right there. He has to make the tackle but he also has do it precisely inbounds.

    The real problem with that drive was the kickoff return that set it up. It was still a makable field goal without the penalty. Much harder though but the kick return messed that up for the Bengals badly. I knew they were in deep trouble after the return.

    NFL looks like a joke right now. Remember when the Saints got screwed in the NFC Championship game against the Rams. How does this happen in big games?

    To be fair, Steratore did say that PI on Apple towards the end was BS (as cautiously as he could)

    Yeah, it was brutal. I was watching with my dad and uncle, and none of us were rooting for a team, just a great game. By the end, my uncle was a big Bengals fan in spite / karma.

    The refereeing in the 49ers/Eagles game was terrible too even though it probably didn’t affect the outcome all that much. They flagged the Eagles right down the field when they scored their second touchdown on questionable illegal contact calls and others.

    I don’t really know how the Bengals players and coaches don’t run their mouths about this one and eat the fines.

    The NFL really needs to investigate this QB on the sideline stuff. I sort of don’t blame the refs a ton because they’re also running at fool speed and they just see the $400 million man go flying.

    Instituting video replay on all personal fouls like that would clean a lot of this shit up including the retarded calls Brady and some of them get.

    I think the last penalty was warranted, just one a lot of people who watched football before all the rules protecting QBs/players became enforced more probably don't like.

    It was the intentional grounding and the PI for me that are why it's terrible. #34 was 3 yards away from where the ball landed, unless I have the rule wrong I don't understand how that's intentional grounding.
