Except they aren't theories. Have been proven many times.And I thought our conspiracy theories about the refs were bad.
But yet he is not getting roasted for it, at least on here, or from what little I seen this morning. I have not watched too much of any pundit talk yet.
Maybe late this afternoon, when I get all my stuff done.

..lol....what are Dallas fans doing over at KC message boards? ..
Whats more likely .
A. The referees collude in order to fix games .
B. The referees are part time employees , often out of shape and older which means their vision is not optimal and thus these factors all lead to terrible calls .
Except they aren't theories. Have been proven many times.
I like to see how other fanbases react to certain events or outcomes.
Part of the fun is comparing their reactions to how we react to things on here. For example, some Chiefs fans were saying things like “Mahomes has lost his confidence!”. Crazy how quick a fanbase can turn on a player, even if they’re at the top of their position.
Legally the NFL is allowed to determine the outcome of their own games because technically they are Sports entertainment. That's the literal law when a fan sued the NFL in court and a judge said that.
There have been literal cases in history of sports betting scandals with refs being caught rigging games for gambling benefit and players taking dives. I'm not saying the NFL is rigged and setup but to laugh it off and completely deny it you are naive. This is a multi billion dollar business. When you have greed, ego, and human error anything can happen.
Mahomes has made a lot of crazy throws in his career and has gotten away it but the same gun slinger mentality can sometimes cost you. I don't see him changing how he plays the game nor should he but I also know there will be times that it will backfire on him. If I were a KC fan I would be willing to live with it.
This was how guys like Favre and Romo played too. I agree, I would accept Mahomes as he is.
But did you see how much time he had in the pocket on many of his plays, including the game tying drive? Good lord.
The wife and I were talking about that yesterday, I said it's like the ole WWE.From the Chiefs message boards:
And I thought our conspiracy theories about the refs were bad.
- While I didn't think it would happen like this, it was pretty obvious this is the outcome they wanted. I know we've been made to believe teams like Cin can come back from 18 down like it's nothing, while the team with the best qb in the league only scores three points, but that's not realistic. Can it happen..sure..and that is where they get most people. With how KC was playing they should have torn Cin a new *******, but it's NFL entertainment. Talent doesn't matter, players don't matter it's all about money.
- That second half looked like a masterclass in point shaving.
- The NFL is just like any other job, you do what your boss tells you to do. When you see Goodell in the press box and you’re the home team, it’s not a good thing for you.
I personally don’t think the NFL is rigged. Or at least not at a level where the league can guarantee a “fixed” outcome. It’s funny to see how other fanbases go through denial like we do sometimes.
I agree, I was very impressed by the protection Mahomes got for much of the game. Late in the game I did think he screwed up and taking some big sacks that could have been prevented but it is who he is.
How so? Mahomes got paid by Vegas to throw an interception?The wife and I were talking about that yesterday, I said it's like the ole WWE.
Then that announcer came on a minute later and said..."Are you ready to rumble"...We both cracked up laughing.
Of course it's rigged!

With 39 seconds left in regulation, Mahomes has a chance to snag a potentially game winning TD and he has nearly EIGHT seconds in a clean pocket untouched. And guess what, there was no penalty called on the OL for holding because their QB “held the ball too long”. Funny how people here think their QB holding the ball frees the OL of blame.
