What Is Even The Point?

Should we honestly even bother getting invested in a league that won't even invest in full time refs? Or maybe they want it this way. Bucs win at home with Tom Brady, Rams win at home in new LA market, State Farm posterboy Mahomes wins in Star Farm Field to cement the fact that the Chiefs are in a dynasty right after Brady retires. Don't want to be one of those conspiracy theorists, but it just smells an awful lot right now and I don't really know if I should continue to invest feelings in trophy that is being decided by a ref at the very end of two SBs in a row.

It is just so F'd up.  I can't believe they get away with it.  

Smith's catch he made THREE STEPS in bounds with the ball secured.  Three.  He didn't even let it move when he "survived the ground".  Called a catch on the field.  And we are supposed to believe there was INDISPUTIBLE VIDEO EVIDENCE that it was not a catch?  My ass.


There was a play in the 2nd half on 2nd down where Pacheco was run out of bounds at the 33 yard line, which would make it 3rd and 2.  The ball was spotted at the 31.5 yard line making it 3rd and half a yard!  I had to back it up to watch it again.  

Then the bogus holding call.  The Chiefs were all over every receiver in a pattern the entire game against Cincy with no calls.  They did it again last night.  Then, because JJSS flailed on a ball he couldn't even come close to catching, he gets a game-ending flag.  

So many people watch this shit and just say "well, they know what they are doing".  BS.  It is like watching pro wrestling.  It's a show.  And Goodell hugging Chris Jones and being heard saying "I don't care how you hit the QB".  What a toolbag.
