If Brady and Mahomes are so great then why do they need all the calls?

[kskboys]

Then why do they need all the calls to go their way to win?

Maybe they're not as great as being claimed?

Or maybe the fans are just whiny children who make excuses when things don’t go their way.

When you are the best (or one of the best) you get the calls. It's a universal truth in sports -- not just the NFL.

look at the hundreds of times Michael Jordan should have been called for traveling on his dunks but never was.

Because they don’t need calls. We live in a society where everyone cries about everything. That Bills game is the perfect example, KC had so many calls go against at them early from PIs to a false start that was sn offsides that killed a drive. Yet all people do is complain about a spot on a bad play call where replay shows he may not have gotten it, But that play is now the “cheat” one even though there is no way to see how the rest of the game plays out. These whiners have ruined the game. There is one thing though…refs suck across the league. They aren’t favoring anyone. They are just bad

how many times did he foul out of a game again?

 

[gtb1943]

I remember watching one game where he had like three breakaways in a minute or so. Each one he took about FOUR STEPS to the basket. I shook my head and quit watching.

Man, you need to start watching the games. You missed this one by a mile!!!

Now that is some funny stuff. You proclaimed that it was just the whiny fans, but then admitted that the refs suck. Contradictory stuff, dude!!!

It’s not contradictory. The uproar recently is that basically the Chiefs aren’t good but just have the refs in their pocket. It’s so ridiculous and takes away from all that Mahomes, Reid etc have done. Same with Brady and Pats. It’s a completely separate conversation about refs being bad in general. I just pointed it out above in the Bills game. You could even say the Eagles got great calls in the SB. Heck our team stinks and there are people on here every Sunday saying we are getting screwed. It’s a whiny culture. I don’t think the great teams and QBs are ref made. I do think the league has a ref issue in consistency on calls. That’s more a “the league has to figure it out for the league” not for teams. Have a great one man!

Nah, you're making the mistake of categorizing everyone into the same "whine about the refs" thingie. Does that mean I should categorize you into the "blind people who can't see the obvious" category? Polarizing always equals erroneous statements.

Man I don’t know why you are getting so personal. Been a fan of yours here. It’s bizarre. But yeah there are a lot of whiners these days. If a team is great the refs help them. If the Cowboys lose the refs are horrible. There is zero objectivity that there are 15-16 games a weekend and there are calls in every quarter that could tweak a drive from a hold to a PI to a false start. For any group of refs to control the narrative for only certain teams would be ridiculous. Refs have been bad for a long time and every game someone could find a hold that stops a team from scoring and complain “that was the game.” Mahomes has been to 7 straight AFCCG. No one claimed refs when he was pulling rabbits out of their hat. Same with Brady, Both teams have superior programs and QBs that work. Once it works too well people yell “cheat.” It’s impossible to sit in game threads on this board without people yelling about refs. It cracks me up too because they never ever say a word when the calls are right or going their teams way. They cry when the ONE call looks fishy. People around here need to sit in the middle and be objective. I have a SIL that is a ND college fan. Every game win or lose the refs are “screwing them” She's family and I think she whines

Because they don't. Its just fans want to believe is reality. Its a narrative that grows and grows because the mass want to tear down success
