Mahomes does not get the calls from the refs. I say that as a long time chiefs fan from birth. I can prove it by saying this one word that absolutely means you are right in every situation:

Meh, some of the cheating scandals were 'real,' others not so much. Deflategate was just stupid. 1.5 lb. of air pressure difference is insignificant. And they fixed it before the second half, and after that NE went on to score 24 points or whatever. So that was irrelevant. The filming of the other team's practices (think that was NYJ?) was also kind of dumb. Who needs to film the hapless Jets practices? At the end of the day, Brady was elite for nearly 20 years. And Bill fielded great defenses for almost that entire span, many times without HoF players. I can't fathom crying about now. |

He's been hit in the head without a flag more times that I can count. (See Chris Jones getting flagged for MAYBE dusting Brady's helmet.)

It used to be, in general, the D could put bigger hits on QBs than now.
But Brady and Peyton for the second half of their careers were absolutely more protected than other QBs. Now all QBs are more protected, in general. So I don't think Mahomes will ever get the benefit Brady did in that regard. Say in games where Brady wasn't playing KC, I was kind of mixed. I didn't root for him but I didn't hate him. I respected what he accomplished. But say in playoff games (again where KC was not involved) he did seem to get PI calls at key moments more often than mere mortal QBs. |

Funny how the NFL rigged talk has stopped since Mahomes has been here....

I'm definitely guilty of bitching about the refs in the Pats era, but I damn sure never pretended all their success was due to the the refs or cheating.
That's just clown shit. |

The filming of other teams' practices was definitely real. When the NFL investigated the filming of the Jets' practices, they found the Patriots had a room with film on nearly, if not every, other NFL team. The NFL ordered the Patriots to destroy all of the films without doing any investigation into how much wider the issue actually reached. Couldn't handle the scandal.

The Patriots were great because they had the pre-Mahomes GOAT, and the best defensive mind in NFL history. |
