Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

[Marbleheader]

Controversial ending upcoming

Just leaving this here

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

You can’t not call halfway calls all game then call one literally the time it matters most. Just a shameful ending.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The worst defensive holding calls come on plays that had no chance even if the defender tackled the receiver at the line. It was a back foot heave of a prayer under pressure. That was never a completion, even without the tiny jersey grab.

Or Mahomes saw the holding and the flag and just tossed it away.

 

[Royal Reader]

The ticky-tack holding call heard 'round the world?

 

[heavyde050]

He grabbed but there was no material restriction. Someone said nobody notices if it’s not called, and that’s exactly right.

Yeah, this is what I think too. I mean he may have touched him, but he didn't really seem to prevent him from running the route or catching the ball.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Correct. I don't see why you don't throw a flag there simply because of the context. If it's a penalty you call it. And he grabbed the jersey and it was obvious.

The grab itself isn't enough---you have to restrict the movement. And he didn't, which is why you can't call that.

 

[Ale Xander]

8 seconds so they’ll have opportunity for miracle

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

I credit Olsen for calling out the refs in that moment.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What a fucking farce.

 

[soxin6]

Super Bowl MVP = Refs

 

[mauf]

I hate the call but he got beat and grabbed him

Context matters. Pretty sure that was the first defensive hold or DPI called all night.

 

[LaszloKovacks]

So lame

 

[Dave Stapleton]

anyone who paid attention knew these refs would put their mark on the game

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I think it was the right call.

Blocked

 

[ifmanis5]

Really good game pretty much ruined.

 

[strek1]

The NFL has been trying real hard to kill it's product.

 

[Gash Prex]

I can’t believe they didn’t pick that penalty up - just a horrible look for the NFL. And this is from somebody who won $300 because of the call

 

[cshea]

Makes up for the Corey Clement catch.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Yammer must be apoplectic right now. With good reason.

 

[lars10]

I hate the call but he got beat and grabbed him

You don't think that hasn't been happening all game on both sides?

 

[yecul]

Not a heavily penalized game either. They let them play.

 

[Obscure Name]

Booooooooooooooooooooooo. Fuck this league.

 

[Jnai]

I credit Olsen for calling out the refs in that moment.

Whats the worst that happens he gets replaced by tom Brady?

 

[Average Game James]

Kinda think Hurts deserves the MVP here even with the Chiefs win...

 

[Marciano490]

Hope Sirianni goes off in his post game.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

So anticlimactic

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Flags do fly forever in the NFL

 

[Dave Stapleton]

Hope Sirianni goes off in his post game.

Oh he will

 

[j44thor]

The Eagles guards have held on basically every play and it has not been called.

Called same way vs. KC Oline. PHI had the most sacks since the 85 Bears and didn't sniff Mahommes.

 

[soxin6]

The refs called nothing Ruhr entire game until there was a chance to give the win to the Chiefs. This league wants the Chiefs dynasty so bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

Plenty of time left

 

[Scriblerus]

Even with the hold, he never would have been able to get to that throw.

 

[Moviegoer]

Eagles should leave the field in protest. Forget the kickoff. Even if they run it back the refs will just pull a hold out of their ass.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Even most of the Chiefs are kinda like…eh we’ll take it I guess.

 

[Ale Xander]

I would have taken the feee TD. Even with the time left. Too much other shit can go wrong to lose a Super Bowl.

Thirded

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

At least it will make my work week better not having to hear people spell eagles over and over.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Throw a Flacco ball and hope for PI.

 

[Tony C]

You know it’s bad when even the announcers are like “oof that sucks.”

The ref commentator tried to make a weak defense...and then even he gave up.

I hate the call but he got beat and grabbed him

Seriously? Zero grab. Zero impact. Not a penalty. Not in game 1/minute one. Not now.

 

[j44thor]

Fuck this game, Fuck this league what a horeshit way to end an epic game.

 

[Reverend]

The NFL has been trying real hard to kill it's product.

What is dead may never die.

 

[Bergs]

Not a heavily penalized game either. They let them play.

"Let them play" = "didn't call clear penalties"

 

[natpastime162]

The Eagles guards have held on basically every play and it has not been called.

Where have you been? It’s been like that all playoffs. Joey Bosa lost his mind over it.

 

[Jnai]

Wtf

 

[DJnVa]

BLECH

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Gift wrapped.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Alabama arm strength

 

[DeadlySplitter]

KC was going to go up and likely win anyways, but thanks again NFL.

 

[Bozo Texino]

Handed the game. Wowzers.

I wouldn't want to be a car in Philly tonight.

 

[BornToRun]

Enjoy your free ring, Mahomes. Make sure to thank the zebras on your way off the field.

 

[Marciano490]

Thought Hurts had a bit more of an arm.

 

[ifmanis5]

Asterisk win for Mahomes?
