Exactly. You play this way and if the refs are calling it, you gotta adjust. If they don’t, this is on them.It’s one sided because the Chiefs hold on every play. Romo made this point like two minutes into the game.
I think we've reached the magic 100 number on these type of posts ... everybody drinkBrady to Gronk and AB. Why can't we get players like that?
Having watched entire Super Bowls with this level of contact ignored, it’s jarring.look I love KC having a bad half, but I think the refs are having a pretty bad game here.
It’s a shame Belichick lost sight of that at some point.if you can't appreciate how special this is, i can't help you.
For sure but that's about as good a first half as TB could hope for.This game is far far far from over.
KC is actually committing penalties though.I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such one sided officiating in my life. Kinda makes sense of those big Vegas bets that went down over the last 24 hours.
Pats South.Andy, do you think you should have called a TO on 3rd and 1?
That handed the Pats a TD chance.
And KC is imploding. They are lucky it is halftime.
21-6 is an ominous halftime score.Brady needs to tell them at half that this game isn't over ... don't let up
PreachI’ll believe KC is dead when there are zeros on the clock.
Yeah, mirror image.Did AB just run the Edelman route from SB 49?
There have been some blatant penalties that should be called. It isn’t like they are calling the KC offensive line for holding every play; they are call KC defensive backs for blatant penalties.Having watched entire Super Bowls with this level of contact ignored, it’s jarring.
The difference in the rules since 2007?The Chiefs defensive gameplan is a Spagnuolo special—hold everywhere. They are just getting called for it tonight
It was over his head because the receiver was tackledthe ball was a mile over the guys head
Exactly-I think we've seen 3 Pats-KC games, where Mahomes was shit in the first half, and went nuts in the 2nd half.I’ll believe KC is dead when there are zeros on the clock.
I don't buy that flag in the end zone.KC is actually committing penalties though.
I think you’ve got this backwards. He didn’t change his approach to Tom. Tom asked for the void year, probably in part because he never did change how he coached Tom, not because he lost sight of Tom’s ability.It’s a shame Belichick lost sight of that at some point.
or the nfccg where tampa got away with murder on holds multiple times including a massive interceptionHaving watched entire Super Bowls with this level of contact ignored, it’s jarring.
Please...And there haven’t been defensive holding by the Bucs that could have been called? Of course there has...but these calls have been game changing. Reminds me of the 2005 divisional game against the Broncos.Yep. I mean when they say the refs need to let the players play, and not insert themselves into the game... by not calling things that are penalties, you as a ref ARE inserting yourself into the game.
Agreed, though all the rest are pretty undeniable.I don't buy that flag in the end zone.
Tacko Fall on a ladder wouldn't have been able to reach that ballIt was over his head because the receiver was tackled
It's the same service that is changing the name. And adding the Viacom networks.Why does Paramount + exist when CBS all access exists?
A thousand times this. Shut up BoomerYep. I mean when they say the refs need to let the players play, and not insert themselves into the game... by not calling things that are penalties, you as a ref ARE inserting yourself into the game.
When you figure in that he was moving at something like 15 MPH I think it’s pretty tough to argue credibly that Evans couldn’t let alone someone taller. Complaining about that being uncatchable is pretty ridiculous for you and for Romo, I don’t think many football people will question that call. The ref in the booth said it right—-there’s no way to conclude that Evans doesn’t get 5 yards there. Dude is 6 feet tall with a longer reach and was tripped well before the ball got there. It’s just physics...you can’t defend the uncatchable argumentTacko Fall on a ladder wouldn't have been able to reach that ball
Then it was holding in the end zone.View: https://twitter.com/codybtapp/status/1358584891621986307?s=19
Yeah, the endzone PI was... not good.
Refs are way too involved. He’s rightWhat did he say?
Yeah that was a throwaway pass, wasn't even a legit attempt.View: https://twitter.com/codybtapp/status/1358584891621986307?s=19

He looks to me like the Gronk of old, at least what you can see outside the uniform (neck and arms). Pass catching not bad either. LOLGronk looks... like his usual self today? finally?
