I understand complaining about the missed PI against the Packers, even if KC got two other gift calls on that drive.

They have no right to be upset about the call yesterday.

[Pakuni]

Sorry, sir, but that's a pretty pitiful excuse.

Just line up right.

The funny thing is they're not even disputing whether the call was correct. The argument now is "we should have gotten off with a warning."

Reid and Mahomes generally seem like decent guys, but they're coming off very poorly here.

Right.

But last week you said the hit on Mahomes was flag-worthy even though he was in-bounds and moving forwards.

[Lennys Tap]

Technically, maybe yes, he was offsides. But. technically, you see DL offside almost every game where they sometimes line up in the neutral zone and it isn't called.

Any ref who doesn't call offsides when a DL lines up in the neutral zone should be fired. Refs are human and will make mistakes but not calling an obvious penalty "just because" is no bueno.

mahomey had no problem with the phantom holding call they got giving them last years super bowl

[MU82]

Right.

That's a judgment call, which had to be made in real time with two people moving simultaneously. And it was made with the idea that the league desperately wants to protect its quarterbacks. You might not like the call, but it was literally a bang-bang play that required an instant judgment.

This was a dope, standing still, obviously lining up well offside. The dope didn't look where the ball was, didn't look where the center's helmet was, and didn't look toward the nearest official for guidance. He just stood there being a dope.

Despite his whining about how unfair it all was, Reid walked it back today, and admitted that Toney didn't check with the official.

A flag? Toney deserves to get cut.

You defended the call even after seeing it in slow motion.

[tower912]

Mahomey?  Pathetic.   But in character.

[MU82]

Yes I did. I also said I could understand if others didn't believe it was a penalty.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It was a bad call. Black and white. Just like the offsides was black and white.

you guys are pathetic...looking for something that ain't there.  if it were one of your "friends" nothing would've been made of it

The Urban Dictionary defines homie as: "shortened version of homeboy, homeboy being a close friend." Having a very similar definition. as the OED, one is able to see how the term "homie" that was used in the past, has evolved into the word that is used by individuals today.

[tower912]

Lol

[wadesworld]

Urban Dictionary?! There's a reference I haven't heard since 7th grade.

[Jockey]

I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

[MU82]

Warms the heart to see you and Lenny agreeing. I'm all about bringing folks together.

You were all alone on that one.

Lol

some of you guys seem to have a need to be purposely confrontational when none is really needed.   

  oh, btw, tell your buddy wades he supports an anti-Semitic organization-might want to rethink his faux virtue signaling-that's kinda old school now.  the mask has been pulled off that criminal scam

What a catastrophe by Miami.

[WhiteTrash]

Are the Bears back to being the 5th pick in the draft?

[MUBurrow]

What a catastrophe by Miami.

Yeppppp.  They're fun, but they're not among the Super Bowl class.  And that's not just because of that debacle. They still haven't beaten anyone and still don't really look like a team that can.

They were bad all night but Tennessee handed them a 14 point lead with 4:30 left. And they were at home. And playing against a rookie QB. They give up 2 TDs and 2 point conversion in 3 minutes and can't even get into FG range in the final minute and a half. Brutal.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I guess Baltimore is the best team in the AFC, but I can see some team coming out of left field. Cleveland anyone?

NFC will be one of three teams and the Cowboys will advance to their first conference championship in almost 30 years.
