OFFICIAL Super Bowl LV - Kansas City vs. Tampa Bay.... younging vs. old fart

[MrSquished]

Jesus.

ALL of those calls were correct.

A couple crucial calls were wrong. Kansas City needs to play better but the refs are treating this like a ballet

 

[dasherHampton]

The big one was the Evans PI and as an impartial observer my immediate instinct was 100% "That's Pass interference for sure".

The holding call on the tipped pass was garbage and kept a drive alive. Trash.

 

[Captante]

Pretty lame so far ... refs deciding the game after a season of letting them play consistently.




Looking like the NFL has decided to assist Brady and Gronkowski in winning another ring.

I don't have any rooting interest beyond picking KC but this sucks... the officials really are still one of the NFL's worst problems.

KC is def coming back, it's just a matter of whether TB can score enough to stay ahead.

This game is "fixed" as fuck.

Watch, some KC receiver is going to get mauled but no yellow will be tossed.

 

[MrSquished]

The refs just threw a flag on the Weekend and are gonna give the ball to Tampa to start the half even though KC deferred.

From what I see:

TB is taking away the Hill deep threat on every offensive play. That's PM's security blanket. Without 1 or 2 deep TDs to Hill, combined with KC's depleted O line - it's simply tough going for them.

We'll see ... sad to say it sure is feeling a lot like Seattle vs Pittsburgh.

(SB#40 - 2006)

That game nearly made me stop watching the NFL... if I want "scripted" sports I'll watch pro-wrestling.

My wife's only comment about the game so far: "I've been really impressed with all the set changes for the halftime show"

I was in my high school anime phase at that time and didn't follow football at the time, but one guy on Youtube complied all the suspicious acts that occurred during that game.

(Yeah, I missed the entirety of Gibbs 2.0)

 

[BUTCH1]

Too many penalties, two PI calls on uncatchable balls, just let the ball fly by you morons

In a lot of SB's thee ref's have a "let 'em play" attitude, heck the 1st Patriot SB vs the Rams the Pat DB's were mugging the Ram receivers off the LOS and nothing was getting called so they kept on doing it, thing is, every crew is gonna call it different, if you know they will call holding then STOP holding!. The last ball though Brady was clearly just chucking it OB to avoid any potential sack but holding was called anyway.

 

[Lezunto]

Jesus.

ALL of those calls were correct.

I don't think they all were. On the pass interference call where the Chiefs' defender tripped and fell into the Buccaneer receiver, the ball seemed uncatchable.

Tampa Bay defensive backs and linebackers held Green Bay receivers numerous times and few flags were thrown.

I am rooting for the Chiefs, but Tampa Bay's defense has been ferocious against Green Bay and now, Kansas City.

 

[Torn Mind]

Yeah, mix in some runs. Exactly what KC did not do nearly enough, which is typical of The Walrus.

 

[Torn Mind]

Nantz trying to jinx everything...

 

[Torn Mind]

Lol. JuJu and Samuel L. Jackson....

 

[Svnla]

Another FG? Seriously KC? You expect to beat Brady and Bucs with your kicker legs?

 

[Exterous]

Nantz trying to jinx everything...

I like that Romo called him out earlier about the announcer jinx after the 1st quarter Brady TD

 

[MrSquished]

I would have treated that 3rd down play like you were gonna go for it on 4th.

 

[Torn Mind]

Gotta take the points. The main thing is no more beyond stupid decisions like lining up offsides and dumb timeouts...

 

[Exterous]

That Wayne's World commercial made me feel old

 

[Torn Mind]

Clark's foot was offside but he pulled it back. Damn, KC really can't line up right...

 

[Torn Mind]

Looks there IS a fountain of youth in Florida after all...

I understand about any point >>> 0 point but if you want to win, you can't expect just to get FG's, especially against TB. Another TD for TB. The fat lady is getting warm up.
