Anyone who says "the refs stole that game from the Chiefs" or "the refs gave the game to Brady" has a very, very poor understanding of the sport.

I agree entirely.

All these haters just don't want to accept that Tim Brady is the best American footballer since Joe DiMaggio.

All the "questionable" penalties were on the Chiefs' defense. Mahomes/KC being unable to get the ball in the end zone even once had nothing to do with the officials.
You could also say that the penalties benifits the Bucs offence and extended their drives, allowing them to get in the endzone.
We could also look back at the TB/GB game and all the calls the refs never called against the Bucs.

Quit defending the refs. Anyone who has a brain, or has gambled or watched an entire NFL game that the refs consistently have a bias towards one team or another.

The penalty for the hold on the Brady interception was weak. The penalty for PI in the endzone was ridiculous. The ball was thrown into the 3rd row.

If you can't accept that, you're just a team homer.

I picked the bucs to win fyi

There were some really bad calls like that PI.

But they just made the bleeding worse. Mahomes being pressured on damn near every play is what created the wound.

Not arguing the chiefs played like shit, they definitely didn't need help from the refs to make them look bad. The holding call was brutal and wasn't thrown until well after the interception.
The bucs were afforded more than a few no-calls.

If anyone watched the GB/Bucs game, the refs let them play all game and then called a PI against GB on 3rd down.
This allowed the Bucs to run out the clock and robbed the packers of one more drive.

Main reason I dont gamble on football anymore. You just can't predict ref bias. So many games are decided by the stripes.

Take away the touchdown. Chiefs still have 3 field goals and lose by 15.

If you don't believe me, here's a quote from Patrick Mahomes (who isn't crying about the refs):

"They were the better team today,'' Mahomes said. "They beat us pretty good, the worst I think I've been beaten in a long time.

"They took away our deep stuff. They took away the sidelines and they did a good job of rallying to the football and making tackles. We weren't executing early, had a few miscues. Guys weren't on the same page. Credit to them. They played a heck of a game defensively and offensively to beat us.''


We can disagree about the calls, but the end result would have been the same.

I don't argue the chiefs played like shit. Not saying the game was decided by the refs, but all things fair, the score should've probably been more like 17-9 or 20-9

Brady absolutely bootyblasted Mahomes. Sucks to see either one lose but looking on the bright side, Mahomes has years to get some more rings and Brady doing this in his first year at Champa Bay and being the first to win a Super Bowl when they're the one team in the entire league that gets to host it that year is a thing to remember forever...
