But there's no question the refs slant things towards those who complain. Sometimes the flags come out well after a play and seems correlated with the players immediately complaining.

The difference between "whining and exaggerating" calls that the refs should watch for, in this case IMO, is the difference between them sitting at home or being in the playoffs. The best of the best whine and get the calls, imagine getting face masked and just sitting there - I don't get that part about Burrow.

I think that I understand why. Burrow is the son of a football coach. It's probably been instilled in him since his pee wee football days that you can't control what the officials do or don't call, and the only thing that you have control of is your own actions.

I get that, but almost every great has complained and gets the calls. Mahomes, Kobe, Jordan, Curry, Lebron. Burrow is good enough, him staying quiet is getting us losing lol.

I'm not happy with Burrow being great, mr. somewhat nice guy and winning zero rings, but I'm just a fan so it doesn't matter lol.

Literally every other subjective call I can get but a facemark, I have no clue why he wouldn't say anything. Just grab your facemask and adjust it for 5 seconds at least, he doesn't even do that lol.

Not a fan of any penalty being reviewable. I was so glad when the reviewable PI rule was nixed so quickly

I get what you're saying, but those are all Basketball references, like one heartbeat short of soccer flops..

Burrow has already said he doesn't like to complain to the refs because it breaks up the flow of the offense. It's something the team Front Office needs to making noise about.

Excellent paraphrasing of something I already posted in this thread, applause for your efforts!

Mahomes has gotten 2 gift roughing calls agin today, what is it with the NFL and guarding mahomes lie he’s a baby, I’m sick and tired of the calls he gets and Burrow never gets.

This game is fixed

Not only the roughing, but denying the Texans their first downs that are actually first downs, and gifting the Chiefs 1st downs that aren't.

Not sure why you want to label me miserable, as I am a generally happy and satisfied individual. If you would just stop trying to derail threads on tangent topics and post previously shared info like you just found it, things would be rosy.

This new rule will help ensure that the team will also benefit by virtue of the penalty in real time, a thing that would have helped the Bengals in a few critical moments this very season. Had this already been a thing, we might still be watching the Bengals in the playoffs, today.

ahh.. that's good to know.

Love JB to get Mahomes calls that’s for sure.
