Super Bowl LVII

If that hold was in the 1st half, it be a nothing burger. But end of game zebras suck. They had a blown spearing call on Philly the same drive that won it. Sucks it happened when it did. Definitely less time for the eagles to react and that's the big problem.

Whatever happens, we've been treated to a pretty good Super Bowl. 

And then the referee nation attacked...

Eagles have nothing to be ashamed of. Great game.

I mean Hurts through up a duck on that last throw, but he was amazing. 

Both QBs were.

In the end, that fumbled ball ended up Hurting the most.

just sucks it was a Super Bowl game decider. It wasn’t a blatant bad call…

chiefs scoring on every possession of the 2nd half was the game decider.

Don't get me wrong.  I hate Philly.  But i like those guys.  Just know what it feels like to play your heart out and have it stolen from you.

But it wasn’t stolen… they came up short. Bradberry has to be smarter there. Hands up not on …

Pass was uncatchable. You don't throw a flag at that point in the game.

 

In every sport there is a saying "don't make the call at the end of the game"

 

This like Lebron getting a foul called on a game winning shot. Some calls you just don't make.

 

It was defensive holding not pass interference. Understand the rules before you make radical accusations.

In a multibillion dollar industry with billions on a game yet these refs aren’t full time leaves a lot of room for outside influence to make its way onto the field

Exactly.  My guess is that if we look at that play from the angle of the back line official that threw the flag, it looks very much like the receiver was hooked.  Doesn't matter if he was within 5 yards of the LOS, doesn't matter if the ball is catchable.  

KC scored on every possession they had in the second half.  They were going to score on that one.  The only question is what Philly would have done with a buck 45 remaining. 

Yeah, I think that's what's upsetting about it.  As a fan, you would just like to see what the Chiefs do there without ref intervention sdn then see the Eagles get another possession and how they would answer.

I hate to see officials dictate games. It was a 50/50 call, but it was weak. Overall, it was a great game. Just would have loved to see the Eagles get another shot.

That only matters for pass interference, not defensive holding.

I get it, bro, but man, that's a weak call to make there.  They could call that on a lot of plays that don't decide a game, but they did there and effectively ended it.

Meh James got away with a bad one early on JuJu and he did grab him at the end there

I’m just glad Philly lost

Again, whether it was catchable or not is irrelevant for defensive holding and always has been.  The flag was long since thrown by the time the pass was launched.

Weak call, perhaps.  But whether it was catchable or not does not matter.

I shut that poo off after the penalty. You just can't make that call at that point in the game. Bad look for the league.
