This is bullshit. Especially the second penalty. The defenders both went high and hit each other, and it was after Mahomes just drops mid scramble with defenders around him.

People love to hate the Chiefs because of their success but reality is they are just flat out better than every other team lately. Refs have had zero impact on them winning, this year or in previous years. Mahomes is the best QB since prime Rodgers (arguably better), Reid is the best coach ever and they’ve got an elite D. Any given Sunday and all, but a three peat seems inevitable. 
 

In the NFC, wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see Commanders/Rams fighting next week to represent in the SB. Commanders were really underrated coming into these playoffs and the Lions this year remind me of the Titans several years ago when they had the 1 seed and fell flat on their faces in the divisional. Rams are also legit with a SB winning QB and coach.

Well, I won't say that the refs never have an impact.  But I think it is greatly overblown.  But mostly, they win because they are very good and very well coached.  

That being said, I do think with star players like Brady, Mahomes, Montana etc..., there is a tendency to favor them, albeit subconciously.  I do remember many years ago when Tim Duncan played for Wake, Coach K was asked if Duncan got the calls from the Refs.  K said, yeap, and he deserves them.  

While I don't necessarily agree that a star deserves the calls, I do think there is a unconscious tendency towards favoritism.  Just human nature I suppose.

Mahomes is so good I'm sure he's winning today regardless. But the penalties, the terrible spots of the ball, etc... it's all just very strange and seems quite one sided.

Is that this play?

 

Yeah.  It's missing the context of his scrambling in the middle of defenders. I don't think it's fair to "slide" like that, and then for defenders that aren't even trying to hit him to barely graze him....

      J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

      By strato · Posted

      I think you know. Apparently winning is secondary to Bryce’s development. Same as it has been.     In a way it may be good because we didn’t need to make the playoffs and extend this fuging charade about Bryce being the guy. Better in the long run if he gets enough rope to hang himself with.

      Dave Canales is not the problem. He just isn't

      I know DC is overthinking this and he really needs to be OC or HC, but how do you call plays with a QB that in all reality, shouldn't be starting. Bryce is wildly inconsistent. He should lean on Rico and the run game, but if he does and wins, it presents a false narrative that Bryce is better than he is and he's potentially stuck with him for another season. If he doesn't, he looks incompetent as a play caller, but it exposes the ugly side of his QB situation that he really does need a QB that can execute at minimum a basic NFL offense with some decent consistency.  I feel a little sorry for the guy because he was anchored with Young this season and even more weight with Dalton getting a 2 year deal. He has very little to work with at the most important position on his team and it's not his doing. The trade deadline was approaching and it was plainly obvious we needed to do something but we didn't for whatever reason.  I don't think he's a complete bonehead and don't know what he's supposed to do. Win games and potentially keep Bryce or lose them by putting the weight on Bryce's shoulders. Either he succeeds or fails.  As a coach I know you're supposed to play to win the game, but do you win now at the ultimate long term detriment to your team and locker room?
