This sort of stuff almost always exists, where you can point out one or several factors against the theory, and it's always completely lost on idiots crying rigged.
I even saw some clown crying rigged last night when they threw the dumb flag on the touchdown celebration, making the EP like 48 yards... you'd need crayons to explain why refs wouldn't wait until that moment to rig an outcome (to keep the game tied, much less)... but nah, it's rigged! :-) [Reply]

1) It was uncatchable! "The only reason Rice didn't get his hands on it is that the defender slammed into his lower back as he was starting to jump, arresting his upward momentum. And even with that, it missed his hands by inches and hit the defender in the face."

3) Ossai was being held by Taylor! You mean the LE who was completely out of the play, who had been stonewalled by the RT, and then used a rip/club to free himself (no holding on a rip move), and also wrapped his arm around the RT first? Yeah, that's only a penalty if you don't know football."
4) 95 was being held by the Chiefs IOL! When a defender changes direction to pursue the QB, blockers aren't flagged for holding just because the change of direction temporarily tangles them up - it's only a penalty if they stay latched on well after the change and impede movement.

It seems to be the "in" thing to cry "rigged" any time one doesn't win. Not sure what happened to personal accountability, but it's clearly out. [Reply]

My favorite is “the DB has a right to the ball as well!”
Sure, but he can’t go through the receiver to get to it. [Reply]
When barstools pardon my take podcast, which definitely has no reason to hate the bengals, makes a comment that bengals fans are the loudest when it comes to complaining about calls… that says a lot that their reaction has been over the top. And they said it in the nicest way possible but you can tell they were trying really hard not to basically call them whiny. [Reply]
Picked Mahomes then Joe fumbles and we get a defense TD
3rd and 7 went to 3rd and 22 thanks to Chase melting down, they settle for an FG
3rd and 6 Joe get sacked, and they punt back us with a few minutes left.
We pick up a 4th and 6 but get a 10-yard penalty.
4th and 16 they get the DPI, and we win. Ball was catchable for Rice as it hits the defender's helmet, all media agree it was DPI.
They needed the knockout blow and screwed it up themselves. [Reply]

Burrow's fumble for 6 points was huge. Can't blame the refs on that one. [Reply]
Same guy wasn't complaining when the refs dragged the Chiefs backwards by 50 yards on the Kelce 41 yard play, which also featured an uncalled blatant Offsides by the Bengals. Even Romo & Nantz were talking about the Offsides on that one. Instead KC gets stuck in 3rd and 20, which led to a punt on their 2nd to last drive of the game. If the refs are trying to rig stuff in favor of KC, they are sure doing a hell of a job disguising it when they nail the Chiefs with pretty damaging calls like that Kelce play.
He also wasn't complaining on the Rashee Rice 20 yard play that got called back by 30 yards to put them in 4th and 16. Chiefs are always guilty, while their opponents are NEVER guilty of anything. This is the logic of all the Chief haters out there. [Reply]
