The "oops we messed up" stuff is more annoyance than vindication.

X2 for me, it's just absurd how they've adopted this after game fine system. And it's mainly because the reffing on the field is a total joke way to often.

I hate that the Chiefs get preferential treatment. And I hate the Chiefs fans (many of them bandwagoners) who defend it even more. It is like, you are looking right at an overt instance of holding by the Chiefs offensive line and suddenly there fans turn into legal experts who want to deep dive into what a rip move is. They seem like the same sort of people that would claim the didn't strike someone but rather that the victim ran their face into that person's fist. It is ridiculous.

I agree, but the same can be said of teams playing the Chiefs, complaining about every little slight, of holding penalty that is let go in every other game in the NFL.

Do the Chiefs get calls other teams do not?

Yes.

Do they get lambasted for the refs ignoring penalties that are ignored by the rest of NFK refs? 

Yes.

They do get favorable calls, like all the powerhouses in sports do. Like NJ with the Bulls, Brady with the Pats, and LeBron with whatever team he bandwagons onto. Favorites teams get preferential treatment, it is nothing new.

Fix the IOL, improve the defense, and keep the game out of the refs hands.

Yeah...that was BS.  Thankfully it didn't result in any points I don't believe

They (the refs) did it again today. Just enough.

I blame our front office for the Chiefs three peat!

Clutch spot by the refs on that 4th down to give the Chiefs the ball. Couldn't do it without ya!
