Exactly. When Josh drops back, he pretty much always has a ton of time to throw. Their run game has been very strong the last few years as well. Some of that is Josh, but some of it is great blocking from OL and James Cook's talent as well. [Reply]
The hate watching is so awesome. They don't want to miss being there live in case some team actually takes down the Chiefs. But in the meantime they're GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHIEFS. [Reply]

If he truly believes it is rigged, he should take the rest of his money and put it all on the Chiefs to Win Super Bowl 59. If it's rigged then that is all just free money.
it’s like going to a WWE tournament and betting against the Undertaker and then being mad when he wins if you think it’s scripted if you think it’s fixed then I know an easy way to make money! [Reply]
Honestly, I think social media combined with traditional media is a f***ing curse and I hope we end up firing it into the sun.
There's a whole load of people, imo, who used to watch their team lose, get drunk and whinge with their mates about how it's rigged, and then forgot about it the next day. Maybe two days if it's a real stinger. Now we have this shit-stiring machine to allow people to endlessly relitigate moments and validate their whining with others saying the same.
It's turned people into sore losers and babies. [Reply]

Obvious, the NFL isn't ever going to lend credence to any idea that the game is rigged. They have no reason to.
I feel like I should probably clarify this: the conspiracy I keep referencing is the conspiracy within the media and the "influencers" who are intentionally feeding this other conspiracy frenzy by cherry picking calls and by ignoring the statistical evidence for hits and ratings.
As far as any League conspiracy goes, I can buy the idea that they are content with the buzz and attention the clearly bad across the board officiating creates as the calculation would be that it ultimately drives up viewership - to a point obviously. At this juncture, that is the only League conspiracy theory that passes the logic test for me. [Reply]

Right.
I'm just saying there's nothing in the All 22 that even suggest a controversy. And they strip out all the sound, so no commentary either. [Reply]
