Heading into Super Bowl week,do you think the NFL Officials give Mahomes and the Chiefs calls that they don't give the other Teams?

Or do you think people who make that assertion are just envious of the Chiefs' success?
 
I'm a lifelong Chiefs fan and pinch myself every day that this is happening in my lifetime! DH grew up in Colorado and is a Broncos fan. He's got zero skin in this, but has looked at all the numbers and watches all the games with me. Even he will tell you there's nothing to these allegations.

We've had this conversation a lot, and our theory is that replay has gotten better while officiating has not, so it seems like a lot more calls are wrong across the board, when it's likely about the same as it's always been.

Congrats on being a Chiefs fan!

How fun!

The Threepeat would really be amazing.

But it won't be easy!

If I was a Chiefs fan,I would be losing sleep over a guy named Saquon Barkley!

Should be a Classic!

Good luck.
 

I'm not rooting for either team (Lion's fan here) but Mahomes doesn't need the officials "help" in my opinion. He's just that good.
I think Mahomes may get some borderline calls just like Michael Jordan did,but I agree he doesn't need them.

If he pulls off the Threepeat, he joins Brady in the conversation for best ever and may even pass him.

Brady was the recipient of the single worst replay call in NFL history though.
 
Isn't it basically the same kind of grousing people had when Brady and the Patriots were basically running the table, or the grid as it were?

Note: Lifelong citizen of Lions Country with no dog in the hunt for Chiefs, Eagles or Patriots and zero experience rooting for a team that has the kind of success that stirs up jealousy or GOAT discussions.

Everyone is just hating on the Chiefs' success for sure. They are my local team and I watch every game. The Chiefs usually play a pretty clean game and are coached well. That does not mean that the refs are biased.

The Patriots were definitely worse. They were proved to be (and punished for) actually cheating multiple times, and benefited from some of the worst calls I have ever seen.

The Chiefs are just good at the game and playing within the rules. But others are jealous of their success.

I agree that people are jealous of the Chiefs too. I think that there are bad calls in every game for each team. I don't see them favoring the Chiefs, or anyone else either.
I hope they win, but as mentioned, the other team has Saquon Barkley.
 
I think refs get it right most of the time and there is no bizarre conspiracy going around relating to the calls being made. In almost every sport that has refs, your opinion of them seems to relate to how things go for the team you are supporting. Rarely do I see people online complain when an apparently 'bad' call goes in favor of their team.......................LOL.

Various things the Patriots did outside of the game were exposed as cheating and that to me is different accusing the refs DURING the game of being somehow biased for/against certain teams.

Once an underdog, KC Chiefs have become the juggernaut fans love to hate

I think you are right,although I could see where when dealing with an icon such as Mahomes or Michael Jordan,because of their status and importance,maybe the Officials "subconsciously" give them a borderline call occasionally.

For example I am not sure anyone but Mahomes would have got BOTH of those very borderline calls he got against Houston.

But maybe not.

At any rate I love Mahomes-really cool guy-wouldn't surprise me at all if he gets the KC3PEAT.

Now I can do without Kelce AND his brother!

Every time I look up I either see a Kelce brother or a Manning brother!lol

If I never see another Kelce or Manning it will be too soon!lol
 
Kansas City has already got a questionable call.

I am beginning to wonder. LOL

And the eagles got one as well already, and 2 drive extending penalties, and got a no call that could have been another pass interference on them. All in the first quarter. Just watch the game. There is no conspiracy

Definitely no conspiracy for KC!

Wow this is ugly!
 
Chiefs are playing terrible for sure. No blocking, bad passes, dropped passes, bad penalties, etc.

But oh the eagles are winning, so now there must be a conspiracy to make them win right? Oh I guess it's only when the chiefs win that we can use that 🤣

Well of course not now that they were caught two weeks ago.
