Calling Black Op: The 2021 NFL Draft had the 3rd highest draft ratings ever. Strange after a less than stellar class and a new network deal was signed. Thanks Aaron!

I think the last thing they wanted was to see KC bury TB early, like they did 5 or 6 weeks earlier. I think they thought KC would come storming back, since it is what they're known for. So, the calls were made to steer the game in that direction. However, anyone who watched that game, and watches KC, could see this time it was different and that it wasn't going to happen b/c KC's OL was so severely overmatched. So, the way the game was officiated early on, just served to seal KC's fate on a day when they clearly were not their best, due to many factors.

I think he might be looking at that no trade clause bc from what I’m seeing he doesn’t have that in his current contract

That's a "no-shit". That's prevalent in any sport with a ref as the nature of it is subjective in itself. Anytime something is subjective you're going to have errors, inconsistency and outcomes that people disagree with What's in question is the WHY and HOW. The problem people like you have is the complete lack of consistency in these views and you can never competently defend them. Like, ever. I do believe that refs are told to look for certain things in games. They're instructed by higher-ups to watch Team A as they often commit X-type of penalty. Teams have input on such things. Certain coaches like BB are known for sending tape into league offices complaining about certain teams getting away with certain things. Several years ago during the Alex Smith era i recall (IIRC, Mike Tomlin) openly complaining about the Chiefs getting away with so many rub-routes. If you think he didn't complain to the league about that before the game, you're kidding yourself. Steven Nelson, for example, has a league wide reputation for being grabby. So why would anyone be surprised that refs are paying extra close attention to Steven Nelson grabbing onto receivers and getting called for it over and over again? I do believe that refs are also told to lay off on penalties as well and at times, let players play. We've seen examples of "let them play" in the playoffs on a yearly basis. All of a sudden things that were penalties in the regular season aren't in the playoffs. During last season's SB run, i made note several times during the playoffs that the Refs were letting the Chiefs DB's play physical and graby. BECAUSE THEY WERE. Not one off you mother****ers seemed to have noticed or cared. I even said in teh SB preview thread that the Chiefs should continue letting their DB's get grabby. I SAID that they would get penalized. I SAID that the Chiefs should keep being physical anyway. So when the game starts and the refs come out with a twitchy trigger finger looking for DPI's, no one should've been surprised. The refs spent two ****ing weeks studying, and being told that the Chiefs DB's are grabby. Lo and behold, they're getting flagged just like i said they would. |

If the end goal is make money, then they'd strive for ratings. Ratings are increased by having a competitive game. Instead they "let" the Chiefs get blown out in what would become one of the least watched SB's in recent memory. When, apparently, the refs easily coulda called a number of bogus calls to extend Chief's drives to make the game more competitive. Yes, the penalties subsided against the Chiefs in the 2nd half. I believe the reason for that was the ref team making half time adjustments in how they called the game, and toned down their DPI trigger finger as they were ruining the game. OR the Chiefs made adjustments and backed their DB's off their physicallity. Either of those options are far more likely, and far more consistent with what we've seen. |

Not real sure, but I can see that you're not open to any of the possibilities other than what you believe... I'll answer your question regardless - IMO, KC did get calls go their way in Super Bowl LIV. The OPI to Kittle right before the half was huge. So was the TD pass that put KC on top for good in the 4th (Did Damien step out before he scored?) and the slap to Jimmy G's helmet when he was sacked in the series before Damien's 4th qtr. TD run that sealed it. So, 49'er fans can argue, and do argue, that Super Bowl LIV was rigged to go KC's way. And I can see where they're coming from. WE had the Super Star QB, not them. We got the big breaks, not them. Get it now?

Not according the 49er fans. There was an onslaught of "rigged" chatter from that crowd right after the game.
It's funny how it's always the losing team's fans that throw "rigged" around. And it never fails. Matter of fact, i don't think the Chiefs have lost a game in the last 3 years that WASN'T rigged. |

I think the higher ups make decisions on what calls need to be looked for in order to create competitive balance. Then they pass down instruction to the refs on what to watch for. That subsequently leads to refs being flag happy with certain teams for certain types of calls. I think what we're seeing is often times the by-product of purposeful over officiating. Moreso than the league writing scripts, or coaches and players self-sabotaging, or pre-made story lines etc. |
