Super Bowl LVII

[JawnyBlaze]

The way Bradberry had his arm around him and grabbed him made it look worse than it was. I don’t think he affected the receiver at all and it was a bad call, but it wasn’t nearly as egregious as many calls in this game and previous super bowls

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Meh. Sure making any sort of call at the end of the game is weak, but the refs missed at least three huge calls that should've went KC's way during the game. So who knows what would have happened if they called those plays correctly.

This whole idea that you shouldn't call the penalty there is the problem.

If this is a penalty week 1 in the 1st quarter, it should be a penalty in the superbowl on the last drive.

This notion that the game is too big for the rules to be enforced is insane. You guys want refs to be perfect, but then want them to not call poo just because its an important game and the call is "weak" is trash.

Call the games the same, fug out of here.

I don't want to refs to be perfect but I want consistency. There was a lot of handsy defensive plays tonight that didn't get called. If you're going to call it, call it all game. If not, then let it go all game.

Eagles also got the benefit of a fumble returned for TD brought back that was very close.  
 

They received plenty of favorable calls tonight

Both are now waddlers.

That motion play is very hard to defend. Maybe the wr has to continue to run or has to reset before the ball is snap.

Some calls you don't make. Every sport has this secret rule.

 

Refs made the call and ruined a great finish. Sucks but it was simply a bad call that you don't make.

 

Would you want to see a game ended on a foul with free throws?

 

That's what this ending felt like. Game was over on that call point blank.

NBA games end on fouls… literally happened two nights ago, haha. Teams would foul on the last play intentionally if the refs thought like that….

We know the talk will be about the defensive holding.  
But the Chiefs were down by 10 at the half. They dominate on offense. The vaunted defensive line of the Eagles was held at bay. Did they even get a sack ??  
The Eagles got beat the whole second half.

You dudes pooing posts over the Chiefs are hiding in plain sight. Switch teams already

Watching the Eagles lose and knowing how deeply hurt their fans are....make me smile .

No, but you're right in that the issue is consistency.  People are saying don't call it there because they didn't call it earlier.  So why call it with the game on the line?  The refs set the tone of physicality and how handsy guys can be from the outset of each game...  if you allow a team to think that level of play is acceptable all game and then BAM!  GOTCHA!  Call it with the game on the line in the 4th quarter?  That's wack.  You either call it everytime or you don't.

It's why our Super Bowl was such a sham because the refs dictated from the outset that the Broncos were allowed to play with a different set of rules than we were, and if we tried to use the same level of physicality they played with, it was a penalty.  But they could yank a guys fuging head off, they could get 5 yard starts with their edge guys, and 5 yard jumps with their tackles while holding the whole fuging game.  

Point is, the refs have way too much fuging power and not a single iota of accountability.

It isn't week 1 in the first quarter of a game that really doesn't matter when there are 16 more to be played. Terrible comparison.

Every game matters. Refs don’t have intentional moments where they choose not to ref.

But that's the problem. One moment it's a penalty, one moment it's not. We want CONSISTENCY. If you're gonna call it right there, then call it ALL GAME and ALL SEASON. If you aren't going to call it early game, then don't call that weak ass sh*t in the biggest moment of the game.
