Officiating

[Mister Pittsburgh]

We got hosed on calls last week but got a lot of favorable calls today. KC has had some rough calls.

[Iron Shiek]

KC was super undisciplined and brought it all on themselves. But there were definitely some iffy ones, but still viable penalties that don't typically go our way. Can't believe we needed so many fortunate plays and calls to win this thing. We served it up on a platter for the chiefs and they still couldn't pull it off. They should fold.

No doubt.

When the regular officials were out on strike, I heard a lot of talk from the media about how bad the replacement refs were...Can anyone tell me exactly how the regular zebras are any better? Cause I sure don't see it.

Their paycheck may be better!

They keep the game moving faster, the calls are just as bad

i'm confused by 15 yard penalty for the Chiefs TD celebration.. since the play was nullified why did they get the penalty still? thats a head scratcher to me.

is anyone familiar with that rule?

[DBR96A]

The celebration penalty probably stands because the Chiefs were celebrating nothing after all.

Whether or not the play was nullified, their conduct was just as unsportsmanlike...

[phillyesq]

The offensive pass interference call on their TE was a bit ticky tacky, as was the holding penalty on Albert on the TD run. Nevertheless, you have to overcome bad calls, as the Steelers did against the Giants.

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Yeah, but did you hear the ref award the Chiefs a "4th and final time out" on that play with penalties on both sides? If we'd lost, I'd be wondering about that one a lot more.

It was explained by Tirico and Gruden as okay, it's the fifth timeout that would have assessed a penalty to the Chiefs. Personally, it should cost the team yardage the moment they don't have a timeout to take, I don't get the do over.

I was wondering why the announcers were saying there's a 4th timeout, but no 5th? Is that a new rule?

I don't think it's new. You get a 4th only if needed for injury.

I thought it was new, thought that the rule was ten second run off if an injury occurs without a timeout remaining.

I kept saying that the officiating was just as bad with the real officials, but nobody listened to me. We are seeing more of the same awful calls, but as someone else said, they are made quicker.
