Taste the tears of crybabies crying about the referees

[Jet Chip Wasp]

Another trip to the Super Bowl, another year to take in all the crying and whining and meltdowns from fans of the other NFL Teams saying how we only got to the top because of the refs. Allow me to dedicate a thread solely to the legions of screaming brats throwing their temper tantrums.

yes... that's what I'm telling you.

It was a long sleepless happy night!

This is not what Trey Smith did. Smith wrapped up his defender and pulled him away from the play. Smith got beat inside, towards the direction of the screen, wrapped him up and pulled him the opposite direction.

If you take 5 minutes you can find multiple retired NFL OL talking about it being an awful call.

If you take 5 minutes to search for anything you can find an argument that matches your own. Why do you think we have a ****ing Bigfoot thread?

I'll never listen to claims of PI when throwing into triple coverage. The other one people are complaining about the ball was uncatchable. It was a good win with the defense taking care of business for a team that doesn't do much in the second half of the game all season.

Cause you know guys who played the position don't have valid opinions right?

Every one has an opinion and there's bias in every one of those opinions.

[Katipan]

Bias based on experience vs bias based on.... um... trauma? Good upbringing?

WOW that’s a terrible hold on Trey, the second one. He’s getting out on a screen. The refs see the “slingshot” technique arm around the DT but if that’s the standard for getting out on screen blocks that’s ridiculous. And they’ve let go much worse all game today,

I've already posted a clip of the slingshot technique and I have yet to see a clip of a player executing a slingshot technique where they wrap up around a players neck, over the shoulder pads, and pull them the opposite direction. Again, every opinion has bias and we are looking at the opinion of a person who made a career out of saying "I'm not holding" and played for the same team as the player in question.

You have your opinion. I have mine. I have no problem with Smith being called for a hold when both of his hands are in a position that is known to get flags.

Saw people commenting that if he wasn't interfered with he probably could have came back and knocked the ball down. Lmao

We've hit a point of people just being stupid.

Like I watched someone try to argue the refs gifted the Chiefs 3 points because of personal foul penalties...

Cause apparently it's ok to headbutt Kelce in front of a ref or throwing a punch to Mahomes face I guess.

To all those crying about the KC Chiefs winning, all I can say is...

Good.

It's hard to admit to an ugly reality. But it's really enjoyable to watch a person flounder around in denial and throw any absurd notion out there to defend their lack of understanding..
