I have never seen worse officiating in an NFL game than tonight's Chargers/Chiefs game...

...Jesus Christ. It was embarrassing to watch. Both teams got hosed, but the Chiefs, in particular, on that last drive, have every right to call "foul". The fucking NFL has to do something, anything, to fix this...

games are nearly unwatchable with a flag on almost every play and many of them
questionable or blatantly incorrect, what a f-ing s***show the NFL has become.

Rivers whined to the refs after the missed helmet to helmet call. Then the refs gave him the make up call. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

To me it's just as annoying how many they miss entirely as the questionable ones they call.

The last PI wasn't even THAT bad ... he was holding down the receivers left arm. It's not TOTALLY crap, IOW.

Some of the defensive holding penalties earlier in the game though were total garbage, and it afflicted both sides.

Anyways, nothing warms my heart like imagining Chefs fans dejectedly shuffling from Arrowhead after having gotten their hearts broken.

Gonna happen again in like 4 weeks, mark it down. They'll get up by 24 in a home PO game against the Texans or some such ... then totally crumble and LOSE, cause they are CHOKERS, and their coach is CHOKE MASTER.

Also ... RAAAAAAIIIIDDDDDERRRRRRSSSSS!!!

You made a bad call, Ref? Well, suck it up. You can't fix it. You can only break it more.
