It was the right callIDK. I thought it was a very soft call. Incidental contact and Mahomes flopped. But the CBS rules expert disagreed so what do I know.

Where I think Cincy did get screwed was the play earlier in the 4th quarter where the officials gave KC a do-over play (called off one play due to clock issue). KC picks up first down on next play on defensive penalty. That KC drive ultimately stalled, but who knows what would have changed in terms of time & field position.He was clearly out of bounds
That he was. But it's not like Ossei threw him to the ground. As I saw it, incidental contact and a flop. No flop, no flag.He was clearly out of bounds
haha you're crazy.That he was. But it's not like Ossei threw him to the ground. As I saw it, incidental contact and a flop. No flop, no flag.
Being a 7th round pick, I don't think Pacheco makes that much money, relatively speaking. Yet he has such a big role on the team.
Well it's obviously debatable, since I'm debating it.The OOBs penalty isn't even debatable. That will be called every single time.
It's not debatable by reasonable football fans. --Just kidding!!Well it's obviously debatable, since I'm debating it.
No but they get bonuses for moving on in the playoffs.Doesn't the NFL have a bonus pool for rookies who way outperform their salary?
They were blowing the play dead regardless of the outcome…bad optics for the officials, but didn’t change anything since a positive play for KC would have also been called back.Where I think Cincy did get screwed was the play earlier in the 4th quarter where the officials gave KC a do-over play (called off one play due to clock issue).

I agree that the flag was not an egregious injustice. It could have been called. But I didn't think it had to be called. And in that situation, unless a call HAS to be made, you don't make it IMO.It's not debatable by reasonable football fans. --Just kidding!!![]()
I don't have a strong opinion either way. I'm OK with the penalty.
You can debate with yourself all you want, nobody else is debating with you.Well it's obviously debatable, since I'm debating it.
Sure but the play being blown dead was not noticed by anyone on the field (other than the ref who called it miles away) and both teams put forth max effort in a play that was undone. Really bad job by the officials. You do not want a situation where officials give an MVP and Super Bowl winner (Mahomes) and extra play after Cincy thinks they’ve stopped him and forced a punt.They were blowing the play dead regardless of the outcome…bad optics for the officials, but didn’t change anything since a positive play for KC would have also been called back.
Yup. If the Chiefs made a touch down on that play, it would not have counted and KC would be upset instead of Cincinnati. It was odd though, not a single player heard the whistle.They were blowing the play dead regardless of the outcome…bad optics for the officials, but didn’t change anything since a positive play for KC would have also been called back.
except that the shove was a yard out bounds and he did go down. but other those minor details, ok it was a bad call.I agree that the flag was not an egregious injustice. It could have been called. But I didn't think it had to be called. And in that situation, unless a call HAS to be made, you don't make it IMO.
Watched replay five times, admittedly all from the same angle. Yes, there was contact out of bounds. A rule book penalty. But it seemed minimal (at least from that one angle). Mahomes felt the contact and went down. No fall, no call.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it
Google "Mahomes flop" and tell me what you see. Or not. Your call.You can debate with yourself all you want, nobody else is debating with you.
Kelce called Cincy mayor a jabroni on tv lol?
... but it shouldn't be.The OOBs penalty isn't even debatable. That will be called every single time.
The officiating was atrocious today, and particular the late game. You can debate the late hit call all you want - there was an egregious hold and two blocks in the back on Moore's punt return.holding on that play to get mahomes free, or at least live it did.
also a couple blocks in the back on the punt return but idk
I've seen a lot of atrocious roughing the passer calls this season. This wasn't one of them.I agree that the flag was not an egregious injustice. It could have been called. But I didn't think it had to be called. And in that situation, unless a call HAS to be made, you don't make it IMO.

Not talking about the qb hit- the non calls on kc the do over the 2 tickytack pi calls. Refs were too involved let the Fing guys playHe was clearly out of bounds
All players who are on the active 53-man roster the Sunday immediately preceding the conference championship games will earn $65,000, up $6,000 from last year. Players from the winning Super Bowl team will cash an extra $150,000 each, while those from the losing team will earn $75,000 for their efforts.Doesn't the NFL have a bonus pool for rookies who way outperform their salary?
Pach is in a good spot. Andy doesn’t run his RBs into the ground before the rookie contract expires. Hopefully KC does the right thing and give him a nice bonus or bump next year. I might have to replace my Priest Holmes Jersey with Pach’s.Being a 7th round pick, I don't think Pacheco makes that much money, relatively speaking. Yet he has such a big role on the team.
Is there such a thing as an incidental push?That he was. But it's not like Ossei threw him to the ground. As I saw it, incidental contact and a flop. No flop, no flag.
Add me to the list of those who don't agree with you. If there WAS a "flop" as you say there was, I don't think that's what drew the flag. It doesn't necessarily look like a cheap shot, but the flag needed to be thrown.That he was. But it's not like Ossei threw him to the ground. As I saw it, incidental contact and a flop.

There were 3 huge calls in the early game that massively affected the game.The officiating was atrocious today, and particular the late game. You can debate the late hit call all you want - there was an egregious hold and two blocks in the back on Moore's punt return.
