Thank god for the Chiefs. Saving us all from having to live with happy Philly fans.

Very good game in the end.

Can anyone answer - does stuff like that holding at the end get regularly called? Or often overlooked? Feels like it's the same as giving a super light spot kick in the 95th minute in a football match, usually the referees would let it go. Basically gave Philly no chance at all of winning. Seems a very trivial way to decide a game of a knife edge.

It was a soft call but calls like that are called all the time.

My day is going to be mad, don't know how ima make it through.

Well worth it though for real.
I did an all nighter a few years ago and fell asleep whilst crouching down connecting a socket. Always book it off now.

Off to bed now though. I’m not sticking around to watch the owner of the franchise take all the credit by lifting the trophy.

Yeah one thing about American football I despise is how subjective holding/interference calls can be. Watching this sport for over 20 years now and noticed too many inconsistencies. Throwing a flag in football decides a winner. From all sports I watch I think American football has the most subjective in foul calling.

Nick Wright is going to be unbearable on TV tomorrow.

Glad for Mahomes though. Great to watch.

I’m glad the Chiefs won but that call ruined the ending. Also after listening to Kelce why does every player on every team in American sports think they never get respect and that” no one believed in them” even though they have the best player.

Ah yes, the handing over of the trophy the owner did nothing but write checks to win. Should always go to the coach/manager or team captain first. NHL gets it right.

Been watching this sport for many many years. Owners picking up the trophy first will never not be weird and anticlimactic.

What a fecking game.. We were on the edge of our seats for most of the game, but especially since the start of the second half.

Glad the Chiefs won, just love the way they play football and credit to one of the greatest coaches of all time and credit to Mahones for his performance, especially with his injury.

As usual my only gripe is the owners taking credit at the end. Meh..... Imagine the Glazers accepting the Premier League trophy before Fergie :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can't wait for next season.

Funny thing is you wouldn't care at all if it was the Cowboys or Giants or any other team you dislike. The guy grabbed the receiver twice.
Yeah of course nothing wrong with laughing at the eagles but to suggest that the call even if it didn’t stand wouldn’t have made a difference is bullshit

That was a woeful call. I didn't want either team to win that game but it was a great game absolutely ruined by a call that shouldn't have never been made.

Chiefs offense was incredible and honestly I was ready for them to just run the clock down and win. We had no answer honestly. Biggest positive for the Eagles is the way Hurts played was so nice to see

Yep, pretty much, and they seemed to be giving leeway to players most of the game. I don't know if there was holding that wasn't called previously, but it was a very soft penalty at a crucial time that more or less decided the game. If I was an Eagles fan, I would be absolutely livid

Why is Kelce acting like the Chiefs were this plucky huge underdog that nobody gave a chance to. Shut up man :lol:
