Another trip to the Super Bowl, another year to take in all the crying and whining and meltdowns from fans of the other NFL Teams saying how we only got to the top because of the refs. Allow me to dedicate a thread solely to the legions of screaming brats throwing their temper tantrums. [Reply]

I, too, noticed that there was a play that should have been called intentional grounding and the refs missed it. I said as much during the game. And wondered why the commentators didn't mention anything about it. [Reply]

Wasn't talking about betting point spread. I guess I should have said the Chiefs lead would have been more. 17-7 lead at halftime was good but a 21-7 lead is even better. Not that it mattered in the end. [Reply]

That play is interesting. He technically was out of the pocket (outside the original tackle box even though the RT had kicked out to the right of Lamar by the time he threw) and the ball passes out of bounds 2-4 yards behind the LOS.
It LANDS out of bounds, 5 yards past the LOS.
So what counts for a pass thrown away from outside the pocket? [Reply]
Bills fans are bad enough, but there is something extra salty about Baltimore. Back when this place was festooned in Royal blue for the world series, I recall clicking through to some seriously bent threads on an Orioles board just seething over their hatred for KC and that was only two years.
The best thing about that city is John Waters. They should get a sense of humor. [Reply]
Hah, I just made a post about that in another thread. They were all bent out of shape because Jeremy Guthrie wore that "These O's Ain't Royal" t-shirt in a press conference.
The referee stuff is just a coping mechanism for fans that are desperate to see us lose and are trying to come up with some excuse for our constant success other than the depressing reality that we’re just that much better than everyone else.
We did the same thing to the Patriots during their run. This is the exact same thing.

I find it incredibly amusing.
It's so much more fun on this side of it... :-) [Reply]

OMG I forgot about that.
The 2014 team just as well have set fire to the park on the way out of there. Those silly fucks thought they were winning it all and got fucking demolished.
While we laugh justifiably at other teams' fans for being crybabies like this, you see this same thing here all the time. Every fan base has stupid people.
You say this like I wouldn't mock those assholes without mercy as well... [Reply]

The OB distance counts, so no IG.
Second time LJ did it, the ball was tipped, or it would have been IG. [Reply]
