With Brady gone the nfl decided Pat Mahomes needs to try and be the face of the nfl. He got the call at the end against the bengals and the call against eagles at the end. Nfl writers want to make it him now. Wonder what they will do in the next episodes
I understand that it is easy to point to a conspiracy theory when a game almost seems scripted. I just don't think that's even possible, though. How do you explain injuries? Especially bad ones. A torn ACL. Concussion...whatever. I think certain players will get a call because of who they are, sure. That is true in every professional sport. Get at least one stop in the second half....and you don't leave it in someone else's hands.
Irt the call, ny problem is not that the call is made. My problem is that it is made in that situation, when you have not made that same call all game long, either way. It equates to an inconsistent strike zone in baseball.
As a coach, I always told my kids, play according to how the refs are dictating you can play. If they are "letting them play", then you better play accordingly. If they are pushing the gray area and we aren't, that is on us. The same goes if they are calling everything. Bradberry admitting to the call doesn't change that. It's not about it being the "right call". It's about it being a super soft call not made all game long to that point.
Irt the non-fumble and the Goeddert catch that WENT TO REPLAY and was clear to everybody (but Chiefs fans, 😆), that the correct call is made, it is obvious that you are trying to justify a poor judgement call. That being said, if it is a conspiracy, why don't you just let a shitty call stand? Why not let the Smith catch that was overturned, stand? Clearly the right call, btw.
The point is, if you are going to make that call in that spot, then you better flag every single single one of them throughout the game.
That being said, the Chiefs very well may have STILL won that game. Who knows what happens when the Eagles get the ball back with a minute and a half left? If it goes to OT, the momentum was clearly with the Chiefs.
Look in the mirror time....That scheme was horrible, defensively. The Eagles offense played well enough to win, but the defense played not to lose. You leave yourself open for something like that to happen. Nobody is to blame, but yourself.
