This basically sums up how I feel about the whole Chiefs fix thing. Contains cursing:
Pat Mcafee is insufferable. That said, I don't think it is any secret that good players get beneficial calls more often than average or bad players. Good WRs are more likely to beat the defense and get held or interfered with. Star QBs who can run around in the backfield and evade defenders are more likely to be hit late than average/bad QBs that take the sack right away or throw the ball away, etc etc. This isn't game fixing though.

Yeah, I can only handle him in small doses. I'm on team LeBatard.

One other stupid thing I have noticed is that any time a team gets down by 3 scores the announcers start talking like the game is over and how could the losing team ever make it back blah blah blah. Three scores in today's NFL is really not insurmountable.

With the onside kick neutered, it's a lot more difficult.

@pete6032 is more referring to scenarios where there's a lot of game left, and elite offenses can score quickly.

One thing we know about the current NFL and NBA is that big comebacks are always possible (assuming enough time remains). I don't know which announcers are talking like a 21 point deficit is insurmountable.

You're right about the onside kick being near impossible now, but that mainly applies to end of game situations when time has almost run out. Requiring the kicking team to pre-announce an onside kick is particularly dumb, although I believe it's a player safety issue (the first guy on the receiving end is assuredly getting lit up).
