I get it, bro, but man, that's a weak call to make there.  They could call that on a lot of plays that don't decide a game, but they did there and effectively ended it.

I get that … but no matter the moment of the game.. the refs have to do their job. They can’t go in with the mind set “it’s the final minutes of the game… so I’m going to let it slide” 

it’s a tick tack call but it’s not the wrong call. 
 

good Super Bowl either way

This whole idea that you shouldn't call the penalty there is the problem.

If this is a penalty week 1 in the 1st quarter, it should be a penalty in the superbowl on the last drive.

This notion that the game is too big for the rules to be enforced is insane. You guys want refs to be perfect, but then want them to not call poo just because its an important game and the call is "weak" is trash.

Call the games the same, fug out of here.

It isn't week 1 in the first quarter of a game that really doesn't matter when there are 16 more to be played. Terrible comparison.

He looks oooooooooold now.

I really wonder if the pendulum will ever swing back towards the defense. Even Tepper said part of why he wanted a OC was because a new offensive rule is being passed every year.

IMO, get rid of offensive holding and defensive holding and let them go at it. Got to keep DPI and RTP but those are a little less subjective to human error I guess.

Again, whether it was catchable or not is irrelevant for defensive holding and always has been.  The flag was long since thrown by the time the pass was launched.

Weak call, perhaps.  But whether it was catchable or not does not matter.

Some calls you don't make. Every sport has this secret rule.

 

Refs made the call and ruined a great finish. Sucks but it was simply a bad call that you don't make.

 

Would you want to see a game ended on a foul with free throws?

 

That's what this ending felt like. Game was over on that call point blank.

The way Bradberry had his arm around him and grabbed him made it look worse than it was. I don’t think he affected the receiver at all and it was a bad call, but it wasn’t nearly as egregious as many calls in this game and previous super bowls

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Meh. Sure making any sort of call at the end of the game is weak, but the refs missed at least three huge calls that should've went KC's way during the game. So who knows what would have happened if they called those plays correctly.

I don't want to refs to be perfect but I want consistency. There was a lot of handsy defensive plays tonight that didn't get called. If you're going to call it, call it all game. If not, then let it go all game. 

[Shocker]

Eagles also got the benefit of a fumble returned for TD brought back that was very close.  
 

They received plenty of favorable calls tonight

"Waddle on over here."

Both are now waddlers.

That motion play is very hard to defend. Maybe the wr has to continue to run or has to reset before the ball is snap.

NBA games end on fouls… literally happened two nights ago, haha. Teams would foul on the last play intentionally if the refs thought like that….

We know the talk will be about the defensive holding.  
But the Chiefs were down by 10 at the half. They dominate on offense. The vaunted defensive line of the Eagles was held at bay. Did they even get a sack ??  
The Eagles got beat the whole second half.
