They really didn't though. Nate Burleson was sounding like a hater.

They really did though. The refs set the tone for the game in the first half.  KC not having their two starting tackles with Mike Remmers as the starting LT and it’s a recipe for disaster. Tampa’s defense is good, but they are not some historically elite super bowl championship level.

Complete teams win championships.  I had a feeling going into the game that the Chiefs D was going to be their down fall.

It wasn't. It was their OL. The Bucs averaged 31ppg this year. They scored 31 points. The Chiefs' offense fell flat on their face because Mahomes was running for his life from the moment the ball was snapped just like Cam in SB50.

Terry McAulay was criticizing the calls on his Twitter.

Others like Boomer, Chris Simms and many more had a thing or two to say as well.

I saw bad defense on one side, and outstanding defense on the other. 

On an off note, I saw the Chiefs get away with several obvious holds. Blaming the refs in this game is weak! It takes away from an extraordinary defensive performance. That's just the way I see it.

There's a difference between blaming the refs and saying the refs were bad.

Poor officiating may have contributed, but there were many other factors which can be blamed on the Chiefs themselves.

With that said, the officiating in this game was horse sh-t, and that would have been true no matter who won the game.

I think that officiating will prove to be an excuse only on message boards.

Wouldn't bet on that.

Sports talk, whether it's online, on radio or on TV is likely to be talking about how that game was officiated for a while.

It doesn't mean the Chiefs didn't deserve to lose, but any criticism the NFL gets for how crappy a job those refs did is justified.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
