I stopped watching the NFL when I saw thugs disrespecting my flag. SPIT!

I thought everyone quit watching that foolishness after the kneeling fiasco.

Did I miss something? (no need to answer, I don’t really care).

Everybody saw it.

 

All I saw was a profane tantrum/rant at the link.

As you are one of the best posers here, I won’t pick a scuffle with you :)

But that original call was that the Bills didn’t get the first down.

And um...the Chiefs drove down the field WITH EASE on THREE different occasions when ALL Buffalo had to do was stop them!!

THEY SUCKED.

Refs aren’t needed for a team’s defense to suck!!

Allen gets my respect more and more as one of the great ones. I was wrong...he belongs up there.

But the defense, even since Von got hurt and wasn’t the same...their secondary SUCKS at the times it needs to step up.

No refs losing the game.

Just bad secondary.

Once the chiefs get the upper hand in the SB, I will shut it.

I hope that doesn’t happen but if it does..I can’t stomach taylor swift and that whole nonsensical “teenagers in love” BS between two people who are almost 40!!!

I am NOT a football fan ... Chiefs won... I find it the height of hypocrisy to hear about the refs helping the Chiefs.. NO big deal in the grand scheme of days of our lives ... Did I say Chiefs won ... The many had NO problem with a stolen election some 4 years ago ... and now there is mad, insane, ranting, and raving over a ref call...

Oh, did I say Chiefs won???

I wonder how much money Portnoy lost. If the refs can scrutinize down to inches for a placement to favor the Chiefs then the whole game had to be scripted, which is nonsense.

The refs do the best they can and they reinforce their decisions often with instant replay. There may have been calls that viewers thought favored the Chiefs, but I am sure just as many might have favored the Bills.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but the NFL is as legitimate as WWE wrestling.

Anyone still watching them after they knelt in solidarity with Kommunist organizations such as Black Lives MatterTM deserves scorn. I feel for Dave Portnoy - he founded 'Barstool Sports' before the NFL went woke, anti-white and anti-American. He should have pulled the plug in 2020.

Dave Portnoy can kneel on one slice of pizza while the salt of his tears flavors another.

Dave, you can stop the replay.

The ball, not the helmet has to cross. He clearly landed on the ball before the marker and then bounced forward.

About time for a Black Socks style scandal to occur in pro football!

If it turns out to be true in any way the NFL should lose its monopoly protection as a minimum. Something it shouldn’t have anyway but that’s different discussion.

And I too haven’t watched a pro football game since the kneeling began. I might be persuaded to watch again if the Washington team goes back to being the Redskins.

Kincaid looked like he almost got the first down. It depended on where the ball was when his knees touched the ground... But it was very close...maybe 2-5 inches.
Allen was clearly over the first down line. The refs should have given him forward progress since he was thrown backwards by the chiefs. As soon as Allen’s forward progress was stopped...the play was dead... But it was not whistled dead. It should have been.
I never believed the league was rigged...am more apt to believe it now. Maybe related more to gambling concerns?

It is laughable that a quarterback can throw a pass and hit an opposing player in the numbers, or a hitter or can swing at a ball 6 inches out of the strike zone, but a a ref missing a call is almost criminal. Not quite as laughable as grown men who spend their time watching other men chase a ball up and down a field, though.

Oh please. The game was over when idiot Sean McDermott went for two 2-pt conversions. And kept running the stupid sneaks all night when they weren’t working. He was outcoached. They should fire him.

The NFL works to prevent upsets that would hurt the massive sports book betting operators in Vegas and elsewhere. In essence, they and the NFL are partners.

This has been going on forever. Over a decade ago the Refs favored Dallas over Detroit because they wanted a Romo - Farve match up.

I decided I had better things to do on Sundays then. With the kneeling, I am gone forever.

And YES there is a big difference between a single referee screwing up a call during the heat of the game vs systematic biased targeting of one team over another by the entire referee and Instant Replay staff to the point that it affects the outcome.

We were denied a true Super Bowl this year when America’s Team, the Detroit Lions, were devastated by injuries on the defensive side of the ball. They were the best team and would’ve crushed the Chiefs, refs or no refs.

I pretty much stopped watching the NFL when the kneeling began, but yesterday, I did root for the Eagles to beat the Football Team, which I was sincerely hoping would not be in the Super Bowl.

I'm still a college football fan even though playoffs, the transfer portal, weekday games, 7:45 PM kickoffs, transcontinental leagues and the two-minute warning have greatly dampened my enthusiasm.

Imo, if the Indiana Fever don’t draft Yarden Garzon I might stop watching.
