Spoiler
The fix for bad holding calls is immediate review assist, within 10-15 seconds the call should be reversed. I believe this will be discussed by the Competition Committee for 2025.
i don't envision any scenario whatsoever where the Competition Committee considers reviewing holding calls of any sort
not familiar w the suggestion ever even being broached
Going into the game I thought the narrative was going to hurt the Chiefs, and Buffalo may get the 50:50 calls. That didn’t happen.
I wanted the Bills to win but I thought they were running on the right side of variance all season. They were injury free, they didn’t lose a fumble, they had an easy schedule to finish the season, opponents were dropping balls, etc. Seemed like it was there for them right up until Kincaid dropped the first down. Chiefs are too good and they were never getting the ball back after that.
fwiw Next Gen Stats put the chances that a player would catch the ball Kincaid dropped at 49%
Please have him in an all-out blitz into a burning house. Please! He can even drive an auto into it. Perhaps even a Home and Auto. Dragging a khaki clad Jake along and all diving onto a flaming fumblerooski.

are you suggesting spags as mayhem?
how anti-progressive of you not being your parent
The Chiefs are an amazingly well-oiled machine by itself, already a tough opponent to beat. It's just that when every iffy call seems to go in their favor, it's over. I don't think anyone is saying any fix is to prop up a crap team but it seems weird calls are being made intentional or not to ensure that the favorite remains undefeated in big games...you guys are poker pros, what are the odds of always winning flips every.single.time. when it's in a crucial moment of the game?
I honestly wanna
I used to rail against this same phenomenon with Saban and Bama. It was disgusting. Then breathtaking. As far as all these one-score game victories, I don't think Reid gets enough credit for sick play-calling that totally shreds the defense in the mega-moments, and then of course the Mahomes factor itself is off the charts. I guess the two factors together can produce about a hundred straight wins in tight games. Been wondering Mahomes total record in one-score games, and also Reids in each tenure. The kind of thing I used to love to run down. I might.
Reid's play calls at key moments seem kind of like Bobby Fischer chess moves or something. Just total misdirection and dominance.
First glance I've got Mahomes 39-22 in one score games before this streak started. 57-22?? On top of this year's sickness in 2022 I think it was they won 7 straight weeks by one score.
Seeing someone cited Reid at Philly as under .500 in one score games, 53-55. Different story at KC. Gonna try to check the pre-Mahomes years.
Reid pre-Mahomes at KC looks like 22-23 in one-score games.
Just saw that since 2019 (18 games), the Chiefs haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher.
?
the Chefs have played more than 18 games since 2019. not sure what you're trying to say here newguy
i guess you're saying the Chefs haven't given up a 100 yd rusher since Week 1 when MV3 rushed for 122 yds
The 18 game streak is only for the playoffs.
ahhh that makes sense
thx heels
yea sorry. playoffs only
