Nope, I just monitor social media and fans from all across the country. There's hardly anyone outside of KC that can't see it.

Which begs the question, is this ERIC1 a Chiefs fan?

actually..I am a hardcore bengals fan..but I do appreciate good football and good football teams..and what KC has done the past 5 years is pretty darn remarkable..bad calls work both ways and tend to equal out over the course of a season...people that blame the refs are just making excuses

I am a hardcore Bengals fan myself, but even if my Bengals were lucking out on THAT many calls I would acknowledge it.

It wasn't luck, the Chiefs were clearly having the refs in their corner in order to make history and three peat.

Happy it finally caught up to the refs and they called an okay game for the Super Bowl as everyone that wasn't a Chiefs/Swifty fan saw this.

It was bad for the game. Hopefully we don't see this again for one particular team. We used to see it with the stealers but it died down lately.

I don't care if you agree or disagree. Fact remains Evan makes his kicks we win those games, even with a crappy defense.

Bengals lost to the Chiefs because the Chiefs are a better team..crying about refs is for people that cant accept results..I have seen bad calls both ways

Not really, on the same play Daijahn Anthony was called for the PI to give the Chiefs another chance there were 2 holds on the Chiefs that
should of been called to offset the penalties. Calls like this are the reason why the Chiefs were a far inferior team to the Eagles who beat 
them down. I bet the Bills would of gave the Eagles a much better game.

Go root for the Chiefs since you already seem like you are on the bandwagon...

Too bad for them I think they are going to be in trouble in the AFC and teams like the Bengals, Bills and Ravens will be overtaking them.

KC has the best QB, best TE, best C and have traded well and drafted well. But .500? We’ve gone toe to toe with KC & Buffalo. That’s not a .500 team. KC did well because they kept it going. They are going to struggle going forward … still very competitive . But they have been lucky on injuries and refs. The ref thing slightly exaggerated

I've often felt it was no coincidence that when TK started dating Swift the calls really started. Why not ride the $$$ bag all the way to heaven by keeping KC really relevant for as many games and years as possible or, rather, until they break-up.

It was a money making move for the NFL, brought in a lot of young women with money that normally wouldn't care for the game.

Follow the money baby. I could understand not believing this and calling it a conspiracy theory if you didn't see the calls or know the game.

Or just the the amount of young women and market segment that, as you said, could give a rat's rear-end about the game. Viewership is everything for the NFL and while the beer commercials and the BK double-whoppers might not do much for your 10-16 year olds, there are other umpteen ways the NFL/others made money on them.

Truth. I also would rather be a conspiracy theorist rather than a coincidence theorist. I don't believe in coincidences and the blatant calls 
for the Chiefs back all of this up. Hopefully it ran its course and this is the last we see of such favoritism for one team.

I disagree with this. Mahomes is a better athlete than Burrow, but I fully believe Burrow is the better Quarterback and would pick him over Mahomes 10 times out of 10.

Well Mahomes has the hardware. I think Joe is the better passer but Patrick better at creating.

With much better coaches and team around him. Joe Burrow this year shown he is the best QB in the NFL IMO.

Maybe we should worry about making the playoffs lol

We far away to be talking about the Chiefs
