Effing hate that Mahomes thing where he glides out of bounds and reaches out for extra yardage. That must drive defenders nuts knowing that they can’t breathe on him in that situation.

There’s no way Mahomes got to the first down with the ball outside the boundary, I have no idea how they changed that call on the field. The review standard will probably fuck CIN here.
This is two straight years Cinncy getting murdered by the refs agains the Chiefs.

He extended the ball out of bounds but really not sure how you pin pointing it . I love the fact that one official had it short and the other guy just came in and said, nah dawg, that’s a first down

Mahomes doing his bullshit sideline dance. You hit him, it's a penalty. You don't, he gets the first down anyway.
My daughter noted to me the other day that he clearly baits defenders into hitting him late by staying in bounds to the last minute while showing he is going out. It’s bullshit and unsportsmanlike.

Seattle maybe should have kicked out of bounds. Bad field position but you get the 2:00 warning time out.

And now Denver gets a holding call against them on a first down (on a 3rd down play) that was not a hold.

If it's a high leverage play, the refs WILL be heard. Non-event game, it means nothing, but it's the same shit in every game.

the way intentional grounding is called seems random every time. If what Cinci did IS intentionally grounding, then how wasn't it IG when Pat Mahomes did the same thing on the prior drive?

I hate the rule. It's never applied in a way that is consistent.

Did KC or Dallas do it? Not IG

Did Cinncy, Detroit, Washington, or Cleveland do it? IG

edit - it's actually simple to understand once you know the bias.

Cinncy fucked up by not kicking the FG. Idiotic decision and, worse, the 4th down call play was really lousy. So that's their fault.

But then the refs got to work.
