The internet says the Chiefs get all the calls. I presented the facts. Then I was told by the people I work with (@craigcartonlive & @markschlereth) that my facts don’t matter compared to how they feel.
There are clearly stages of being a consistent team that wins
1. Oh that’s cool good for them 2. I doubt they can do it again 3. I’m tired of seeing them win 4. If my team executed X,Y,Z that team loses 5. Refs 6. Refs 7. Refs 8 Celebrate eventual downfall and taunt

OR, the BS Roughing the QB penalty that Jones drew, which actually extended a drive that led to an Atlanta touchdown. If that call isn't made, the Falcons punt and never score their second touchdown. Thus, making anything called or not called, at the end of the game, irrelevant. :-) [Reply]

That's exactly what I said when that was called, that the receiver ran into McDuffie and that's not pass interference.
The disputed non-call was defensive pass interference, but it wasn't obvious when it happened. Six-foot six inch Kyle Pitts was able to go where he wanted after 6-foot one-inch Cook made initial contact with him and when Cook reengaged with him (and committed interference), the official was behind Pitts and just seeing a ball that was thrown at about the level of Cook's head. Cook did in fact make contact with Pitts just before the throw and Cook hadn't turned his head around, but the official was just seeing that the ball wasn't thrown in a good spot for Pitts to take advantage of his height advantage. When the play happened, I sorta thought it was pass interference, but I wasn't certain until I saw the replay in slow motion. It was harder to see in real time, especially from where the official was. The McDuffie bullshit interference was obviously not pass interference in real-time. The receiver ran into McDuffie. [Reply]
