What Is Even The Point?

Finally it was not the deciding factor, the deciding factor was Philly not stopping KC after their score to tie game.. they had plenty of chances in that drive.. in the end KC was kicking a short FG to go ahead even without the call ...  

Agree KC was going to get the 3 and take the lead anyway. Although it would have left almost a minute on the clock for Philly to try to answer as well. Now I don't think Philly would have driven the length of the field with no timeouts and scored to tie or take the lead and believe KC would have probably won regardless.

Yet its no given and it would have been a much more entertaining SB to watch if the Eagles had gotten that chance, stranger things have happened.  It was a weird game for me because never could decide who I wanted to win and just pulled for a good game and my SB square #'s (won 2 fiddy). Anyway felt I was treated to a great game up until that flag was thrown, which was nothing in my book and it tainted the whole thing suddenly. Almost felt like I had just wasted 3 hours watching since I had no dog in the fight anyway, luckily I was working and getting paid. 

Philly played better in first half and KC flipped the script and outplayed them in the 2nd half, but the difference to me was Andy Reid in this game. Mahomes is great but most of us could have completed the majority of those passes. Reid had the Philly defense so baffled with motion that the WR's were unbelievably wide open repeatedly. Hats off to Reid and Bieniemy for making it look easy against a great defense. 

Will not be tipping my hat to the refs though, that was ticky tacky in my book and tainted what could have been one of the greatest SB ever had they just let it play out.
