I know a lot of Niner fans complain about the refs being partial to KC but they actually called one more penalty and more yards against the Chiefs in the SB. The biggest complaint is not calling holding on the Chiefs offense. Could it be that they teach them how to hold better than the 49ers coaches. All teams hold and officials allow it as long as it is done in a certain manner. The 49ers aren't a great pass blocking team. Even our own fans acknowledge that.
On top of it, the Chiefs have a great DC that calls very creative blitzes. Blitzing often results in holding calls when the lineman reaches out to grab the guy as he goes by. It's an unaccounted for pass rusher so the O line often has no way other than grabbing him in order to protect the QB. The 49ers as we all know don't have thise creative blitzes so the opposing O line can just go one on one with a double team on whoever they choose.
No, there's multiple post in social media showing how bad the Chiefs hold. And they don't call holding at all on the Chiefs even though they were the league leaders in holding calls during the season.
On social media. That proves it. It has nothing to do with the Chiefs pass rushing or the poor 49ers pass blocking. It's all just a conspiracy. I don't doubt that they get away with holding . So do the Niners. The refs aren't going to see it every time. There were 11 penalties called in the SB. KC has been called 12 times for offensive holding this season. That's tied for the 2nd most in the league. I refuse to believe that they intentionally don't call holding against them once the playoffs start. Why would they? The scandal that would result if it was ever exposed would de disastrous for the league.
