Wow

I have watched football for over 40 years and I have never seen a team Get jobbed worse then Cindy got jobbed today.....and if you must know I had KC on the ML so I'm happy for the winnings....between blown calls going against them at every turn to the acting job by Mahomes that the 75 year old side judge fell for......give me an opening line because KC gets absolutely hammered against Philly.

Can't remember one call that went the Bengal's way. Even the ref in the booth couldn't justify a couple of those. Holding occurs on every play...they only got called on Cincinnati in this game.

That was horrible. The Chiefs had the refs in their pocket the whole game. Every call went KC. Nice dive by Mahomes, it won the game.

Never Have I Ever Witnessed Anything Like What I Witnessed Today In Football . The Extra Down Was What Won The Game Fifteen Minutes After A Play Was Run The Zebras Decide No Play An Still Don ' t Know What The Call Was . Cheating Goes On Every Where ' s How Anyone Could Just Flat Out Rob Kids Is Beyond Me & The Individuals That Do The Cheating Believe That It ' s Funny Their Not Smart Enough To Realize That It May B Funny Now But Wait Until This Life Is Over When They Will Feel Like They Have A Lighter All Over Their Skin Twenty Four Seven Hope I Don ' t Witness It Their Not Smart Enough To Realize Their Committing A Sin U Could Give Me All Of The Money N The World An I Still Wouldn ' t Cheat A Kid Or For That Matter Anyone . If Hendon Hooker Had Played Anywhere ' s Else Besides Tennessee I Don ' t Know For Sure That Anyone Else Would Had Been Invited To The Heisman Ceremony Or Not & He Wasn ' t Even Invited To Take Part . It ' s " Heupels " Offense But If The Players Don ' t Perform Then The Coach Is Nothing I Don ' t Care Who The Coach Is Or What Sport It Is

Pathetic is the only word I can use to describe the officiating last night, here we have the conference championship and that’s the crew they put forth? All this after a post season where the zebras weren’t calling anything, letting the players decide the outcome and in the championship game they let the refs make the winning play instead of the players? I still believe the Bengals had every opportunity to win that game in the end and I’m sure that they will have to take some of the blame for that, but the officials certainly did them no favours and the league will have egg on their face after that debacle.

Yes but until people stop watching and buying tix and merch it will keep on going, (and we know what will happen there), the NFL doesnt care about real fans or longtime fans they pander to any group now that they see that they can make $ from, who cares if you lose some of your fanbase if you gain more who spend more money. They are getting careless and games are looking more and more like they are scripted but still nobody seems to care and if they do looks like they keep watching.

Hypothetical...........BUT what in the not so distant future, this ends up like wrestling and they just say, ya its all pre determined? Thats assuming it already is, or is on its way. We are entertainment first a sport second. We lose our core of fans but who gives a s hit if we think we net gain by way of more other fans? (Personally I think that they would go down the tubes and this scenerio would be unthinkable) All about $$.....and I know it sounds crazy but I wouldnt take anything off the table when it comes to the nfl, where they are, and where they want to be. Which is bigger and bigger and bigger greed all the way

I have to admit that I thought the Bengals were getting screwed with the calls most of the 2nd half. Burrow should have got a roughing call on their last drive.
I made quite a few "questionable" wagers on both games and didn't follow basically any good money management protocols. None of the halftime ties worked but I also placed quite a few wagers on "Will there be an OT" in the Cincy/KC game because of the larger payout. I parlayed that with a few things that had already hit. I also had nice size bet on KC first half/Cincinnati win because that is what happened the last two times there two played.
I tried not to believe I had a chance but when Cincy had to punt I thought "Damn. I am gonna get OT and everything will be ok."
Needless to say, I just sat there and slowly died for the last 8 minutes. Gutted would be a good word. I love football season and will bet these games until I die but yesterday was not a good day at least for me.
I feel slightly better after sharing this as I have no one else to tell. Good luck to everyone. My early lean is to the Eagles to win in two weeks.

There was a clear hold on KC that last play Mahomes ran and no call, would have been off setting. Tons of holds on the KC side not called. That International grounding was BS also there was a receiver 4-5 ft from where the ball landed. PI call was BS also didn't even turn his hip, head judge dude even said that one was weak.

It's not far off WWF now, it's all entertainment. Didn't bet much all season and plus money in the POs sprinkle some house money on SB Props and that's it..

I forgot about the intentional grounding. They never call that in any situation when the QB is dumping the ball at people's feet let alone that point of a Championship game.
Nantz said all day that the 32 yard line was the spot to get to for a FG attempt. Mahomes scramble still wasn't there but that damn penalty...grrr
Still salty.

Notice it’s always the same teams who get screwed by officials? Maybe one day they will figure out it’s a pay to play system. I’m just disgusted that I continue to watch this and bet on it. New page to my spread sheet should include owner net worth and connections to officials and their donations to the causes of choice the officials support. I’m still pissed……….

I totally agree and I had KC. Aldo the NINER game left a lot to be desired by the refs. Sf was not winning without a Ab but the refs made sure esp on the non challenged play when the one camera angle showing it clearly was not shown until to kate or overturned by the nfl quick review which the did a few plays later to overrule a call without a Philly challenge. And yes I’m a NINER fan

Cinci player who hit Mahomey out of bound's with 13 seconds left is the one who lost the game for Cinci...All the penalties and even in the Eagles game where the WR (Smith)dropped the ball{No call} as he was going down was BS...remember they can over turn any call from NY. The way the games are being bet and fans are getting screwed by the lack of detail to officiating...is pathetic. You can call HOLDING every play...it's the ones where you grab some'Cloth' that you see the flags fly.
All good points but with the camera angles we have now....something HAS to change at that level.

Officiating is so bad in the NFL that it seems you might as well throw capping out the window and try and guess who the refs like or nfl wants to win/ cover!
