Refs definitely had a role in this one

Twice they have been f**ked on the biggest stage. What's the point. Next year, Next year. Yeah f**kin' Right it's been 25 years & if didn't happen tonight good luck having it happen next year or any time period.

I hope someone catches Goodell slippin and suddenly, he just disappears

It wasn't the refs, folks...

True

Refs had nothing to do with this loss. Stop blaming the refs.

Oh they had a part in it alright. But the team still had a chance to take care of business and did not.

Zero holding calls though on the Chiefs OL....

Even the announcers brought it up. I believe they wanted to see Reid / Mahomes win it, but it was so blatant, they couldn't ignore

To all of the people saying "this isn't on the refs", look at what you are really saying. The opi on Kittle was "technically" correct, but ticky tack. The pi on Moore "is in the rulebook that way, so has to be called".

But on the Chiefs holding on SEVERAL key plays in the second half, it's "Oh those haven't been getting called" and "oh those won't get called unless it is blatant".

You can't have it both ways. Either the game is called according to the rulebook, or it's not. It's not about "Mahommes Magic" comeback, it's not some miracle switch that turns on. When he is under pressure in the first half and overthrowing receivers right and left, and then suddenly the pressure lets up in the second half and his comeback starts...because they are allowed to blatantly hold on every damn play. It looks good on tv and makes a great story. But it is cheating, and shows just where the integrity of this game has gone. For the commentators to be ignoring the holding, and even talking about the extra time Mahommes has in the pocket, tells me they are handed the same script that the refs were.

Refs had zero influence on this game. We lost this game because of our own incompetence.

Inconsistent refereeing was part but not all of the problem for the games outcome. However, it should be pointed out that politically we weren't done any favors this week:

1. Sherman chose Super Bowl week as a platform to go after the league about the 17 game season.
2. Unfortunately the media chose to plaster Shanahan giving a heads up to the referee that kittle would be held in the Packers game. It's just human nature for a ref to not want to appear to be manipulated by a coach, so that naturally would have minimized Shanahan's ability to bargain with a referee during gametime today.

Thank you.

As much as it sucks just gotta give the Chiefs credit,they never give up when the pressure is on,behind by 24 against the Texans and 10 against the Titans and 49ers and they always found a way to win and get the job done,it's obviously no fluke if coming back from a deficit is a regular occurrence for the Chiefs

It's not just the 5 to 10 no calls. That Mahomes won the MVP with a QB rating of 78 is telling the story. We were the better team.

Very interesting angles that I did not consider.

F the chiefs.

It took shanny going full potato at the end of the 1st half and the end of the game for them to win.

AND the refs........

They didn't "miss" a few holding calls. I had a room full of niner fans pointing out chiefs holding on every damn chiefs series. EVERY DAMN SERIES. And they didn't get called on it ONCE.

I dont want to hear a god damn thing about the refs. THE NINERS CHOKED! What a s**tty s**tty piss poor gameplan on offense in the 4th Quarter up 10. What a s**tty piss poor gameplan up 3 in the 4th Quarter. What a s**tty piss poor gameplan down 4 in the 4th Quarter.

I can't believe Shanahan blew that s**t.

WHAT IN THE f**k IS GEORGE KITTLE DOING PASS PROTECTING ON EVERY PLAY. JESUS CHRIST!
