NFL will do whatever it takes to get Chiefs (and thus Taylor Swift) to the Super Bowl

Kudos to the OP - he/she nailed it. Fix was in.

Yeah I don't think so.

The Ravens just "Ravens'd" this game away as they have done the last decade of Harbaughs tenure.

Not a single one of those penalties the Ravens can complain about. The Van Noy headbutt right in front of an official, Clowney one on one with Mahomes and just goes as blatantly helmet to helmet as you will ever seen, the utterly moronic first down celebration from their best receiver which involved standing over a guy and trying to spin a ball on his head, followed up by the fumble over the goal-line and then removing himself from the game by opening his hand up whacking the bench, and even down to the "smart" offsides penalty that became 15 yards because Roquan Smith couldn't just touch the guy he had to shove him so hard he fell backwards.

The Ravens are just a bunch of clowns who can't control their emotions. And bringing out the crew (including Ray Lewis who should still be in jail) with WWE style entrances to "fire up the team" was about the stupidest thing the organization could have done.

And ironically the call that was the most impactful and that the officials got wrong was when they called back the Chiefs TD for Rice for holding which wasn't which cost the Chiefs a net 4 points (they were fortunate to even kick a FG).

If the NFL wanted the Chiefs in the Superbowl they didn't really even need to do anything - The Ravens just imploded on their own accord like they always do.

The EXACT same hit on the QB happened in the NFC Championship and didn't merit a flag, nor did Purdy cry like a three-year-old. Mahomes is rarely tackled because everyone knows it's an automatic 15-yard penalty - that's why they run him out of bounds.

The entire Chiefs line holds on every play and commits PI on every pass. It's easy to run up and down the field when they never throw a flag your way and hobble the other team every time they gain yards. (You've never seen a lineman fall over on the offsides/unnecessary roughness call? You didn't see the punches thrown by Chiefs players that didn't draw flags?) But yeah, Taylor won. Superbowl viewership will have a big uptick over last year, and we'll see more of this in coming years.

Taylor's the most interesting part of this "sport" right now and the Chiefs are almost to the Super Bowl. I predict the refs will call whatever they need to in order to get them through to the SB.

Chiefs/49ers

God I wish I'd seen this thread before the start of the game so I could have saved myself from having to endure one of the most miserable experiences of my life.

How in the world was this not PI?

It was HORRIBLE decision by Lamar to throw into triple coverage but take out the two extra defenders and just watch #27 for the chiefs. It would be viewed as as bad as the New Orleans Saints non-PI call.

We didn't deserve to win the game, however. The offensive game plan was horrendous. But the defense was so good in the 2nd half we almost had a real chance.
