Eagles will grind Chiefs with their running game but at worst it will be good to see Mahomes on pace to pass that cheater Brady |

Watching sports shows Get Up & FirstTake this morning saying Josh Allen got the inches needed for a 1st down I conceed. I still haven't seen enough to overturn the call on the field but with so many saying he got the first I'm going to relent. I also understand why the call was upheld because the rule is if there isn't enough to overturn the call it stands. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

It was clear from the angle I mentioned before that the ball had reached the first down marker, as Seratore said during the broadcast.
This wasnât a case of not being enough to overturn the call. It was a case of the refs making the call they wanted to make. Same for the bogus unnecessary roughness call on the Mahomes TD and that alleged reception that clearly was not a catch.
And you can save us all the âIâm not a Chiefs fanâ nonsense. No one rides their jock harder than you. Whenever someone criticizes them, you jump in to defend them; âthey arenât lucky, they just know how to winâ, âthey donât beat themselvesâ etc. . . . and then thereâs the fact that you announce that you want them to threepeat just about every hour on the hour every single day. _________________ "You know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse to live without it."

the media calling out the chiefs gifts are nothing new- unfortunately refs/NFL know that ESPN will always follow it up with "but it didn't matter" because the NFL pays all of those guys.
it was blatant cheating but that's their legacy. I hate the eagles, but maybe I can push that aside for a day.
The NFL desperately needs Mahomes to catch brady. _________________ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDfvXWXvpeb/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== |

that's the beauty of the cheating under video replay rules. once a call is made on the field, it's up to the video replay to produce evidence the other outcome was 100% visible. the replay yesterday did not have to show Allan fall short of the 1st down mark, it had to show him clearly made the 1st down mark. which is why the call on the field basically dictates the outcome of the replay review 99% of the time. |

Getting the breaks is always an advantage, and besides the literal game of inches call, the fumble/interception call went to the Chiefs. They were the better team but they also seem to win on the breaks as well. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo" |

And then thereâs the additional layer of human âerrorâ (and potential bias) that it is another group of humans evaluating the video in NY. And if bias is in play and the call on the field is intentionally incorrect, the league has the perfect excuse to âconfirmâ it or claim the video evidence is âinconclusiveâ.
Regardless of how deep the bias in favor of the Chiefs does or doesnât go, the league clearly has a perception problem given how widespread the belief that the favoritism exists amongst fans and the media. Itâs an undeniable case of where thereâs some, there is likely fire. _________________ "You know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse to live without it."

I'll ask you again, show me the angle.

I'm not on the conspiracy bus.

That's me saying what Swagu, RC, Shay Shay, and other football players say. I believe more in their observations than I do fans.
I prefaced those announcements with I want to witness history, something you gloss over. I wanted to see Saquon break Dickerson's all time single season rushing record to be a witness to history. Again, I'm not a fan of the Chiefs or their leader, I want to witness history. Whether you believe that or not is inconsequential.

ESPN can not gas the blatant cheating because they are partners. ESPN can mention it but have to follow it up withâbut the chiefs are better etc.â We only know the chiefs were better because the cheating was in their favor.
If Iâm the eagles I make the 15yard roughing the passer calls early in the game count because we know their will be at least one. _________________ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDfvXWXvpeb/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== |

I don't know that the idea the Chiefs were "the better team" tracks when the game was a very competitive nail-biter with several lead changes and where the other team was an incomplete pass away from possibly winning, especially it is acknowledged that the Chiefs were getting all the breaks.
Regardless of whether there was favorable officiating or not, in a game that close and competitive, I wouldn't say the Chiefs were the better team, they were just the one with the lead when time expired. _________________ "You know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse to live without it."

I won't be rooting for the Chiefs but I want to witness history. I also want to see Saquon get a ring. I lean more toward the Chiefs because an NFL 3peat has never been done. They are difficult to achieve. The last professional team to do it was Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and the Los Angeles Lakers, who won NBA championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002.
It can be argued the Green Bay Packers 3peted because they won the last NFL Championship game in 1965 and the first two Super Bowls in 1966 and 1967 _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I would agree with you, up to the last 6 minutes or so. The last six minutes, the men separated from the boys, so to speak, both offensively and defensively. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo" |

I see a cherry picked still photo of a live play. What someone wants to see.
Edit: I saw the video elsewhere and it is easy to see why it wasnât called a first down. Josh seems to have a habit of backing into plays and the ball is in the wrong place. You can say it was good by a few inches or that is is short by a few inches. There was nothing definitive. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

The Bills got some breaks during the game as did the Chiefs. Refs are human and make mistakes, replay helps but the league has made more and more rules because of fan outrage, to the point that it is almost impossible to call the game. But saying that the league purposely calls games to benefit one team is to admit that you have no idea how to run a billion dollar corporation. Because being proven to fix games would be destroying the money making machine. The NFL canât allow that. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

There is a difference between getting the breaks and saying the league is trying to advantage the Chiefs, if that is what you think I am saying. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo" |

To pass Terrible Tom, Patrick may have to play at a high level well into his 40s. Some records are almost impossible to break. The Celtics 8 championship in a row, Joe DiMaggio â 56-game hitting streak, Floyd Mayweather â 50-0, Nolan Ryan â 7 no-hitters to mention a few. Key term almost.

Hes got 3 so far and likely will get his fourth in two weeks. How many does Brady has? 7? I think is doable. |
