[@georgemilic1234]

Right on Well said This Commissioner thinks he's now untouchable.

[@ShadySlim_boxing_show]

That 16 point swing costs Buffalo the game Josh Allen got the first down. The refs spot bills short all game

[@jaytee4374]

Wow, I never thought about the point swing on that call

[@nickjg1587]

16 point swing? Wtf are you talking about?

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

​@@nickjg1587 He's a salty Bills fan that would rather blame him made up conspiracy then to accept basic accountability.

[@alfgwahigain5544]

Not only did they make that 4th down, they made the 3rd down before it but were again marked short.

[@johnhofer7281]

Buffalo got F’d!! Welcome to KC Super Bowl Champs! Why play the Game…Pathetic!!

[@davidsoria7701]

Fourth down they did not make,the Kincaid down Bills coach shoulda challenged.also Bills had ball with 3:33, left,3 timeouts,2 minute warning, Didn't even get to midfield also after Bills last drive their D had chance to force a Chiefs punt and gave up 2 huge first downs.

[@benguensche]

chiefs have rings. bills and texans have excuses

[@bobbykiriakidis9753]

Why were the Bills sleeping on the Kincaid play? Challenge? WTF?

[@Sara-o3g8f]

If you look at game stats which uses trackers in the ball and the players, he did make the fourth down. ​@davidsoria7701

[@fluffles3810]

The fact this conversation is even occuring. Shows there's a problem. It's not just this game. Many others concerning the chiefs

[@benguensche]

brandon beane would much rather place blame elsewhere. Focusing on the refs is preferable to focusing on something like xavier worthy vs keon coleman

[@Washington-Dreaming]

Beane: “The NFL is working with the Bills which I appreciate.” NFL (via memo): “Due to your smirk during a recent presser we fine you 50 thousand dollars.”

[@Randy-ul5hy]

which will be donated to the Chiefs for their SB Party because refs wont have Philly win. Mahomes is already guaranteed his 3 peat.

[@ricblic901]

It's not the Allen run it's the play before, Kincaid clearly got the first down, and if McDermott challenged that spot, he may have gotten the spot.

[@brigitte9999]

If you watch Chiefs games they routinely get marked short. Run a play the refs can clearly see. The NFL isn’t rugby.

[@shahramsareminouri4195]

That game was fixed

[@RogerGoodeII]

That was honestly a super well called game. People are way too mad about a bad spot, happens probably 3 times in any game. The spot wasn’t even that bad tho because I am yet to see a camera angle that proves he got the 1st. If you think it is fixed bet on the Chiefs.

[@thehiddendrive]

If the players, coaches, front offices, owners, fans, and the commissioner himself can be criticized, then surely the referees should not be afforded this luxury.

[@bigkahuna5705]

So tired as a Bills fan of hearing of these excuses. Be a champion, take the excuse and the officials out of it by getting 3 yards or such. Be clearly dominant!!! Go Bills

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Lol

[@ChiefShibaInu]

You're the only Bills fan with common sense

[@bigkahuna5705]

No there's got to be at least 4 or 5 lol

[@JayRedmond-s1q]

"The NFL is rigged" conspiracy theorists are the new flat earthers.

[@rj_vas]

A lot of things that happen in a game are out of the team’s control. Still, the Bills had the ball with 3 minutes left.

[@jimmytheweed4978]

Why doesn't Buffalo want to talk about the officiating in the divisional round...???...crickets

[@patrykkuffel2679]

Oh, you think the Ravens didn't get calls their way? We can go back to that game if you like...

[@jimmytheweed4978]

@patrykkuffel2679 but Buffalo doesn't wanna talk about how bad the officiating was in that game, and every other game for that matter, only how bad it was in the Chiefs game...no reason for the Bills to jump on that narrative, especially before the game. Like the Texans did. If Philly doesn't put 100% into the Chiefs, if they blink at all, they won't win.

[@Gabeloveyou]

Refs rigged game. Never watch NFL again.

[@johnsambo9379]

Cry more. Lol

[@Payback02]

Don't watch Bye 😂

[@nnis75]

If you think an official can rig a football game with 22 grown men running around at once, you are silly. And the less silly people we have watching, the less silly comments we will see. So, don't watch, go away. We won't miss you.

[@RobertAWilson]

Beane’s drafting is a big part of the problem

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

Then make like a tree and leave. It's not a bad thing to trim the fat.

[@NtourisSgtJackMichoff]

Btw in the 4 losses to the chiefs, you know how many total points we lost by.... 6 TOTAL POINTS!!!! 6!!!!!😮😮😮 we don't have an allen problem or a coaching problem.... We have a CHIEFS PROBLEM!!! along with 31 other teams!!!! Coaches set the floor, players set the ceiling!! Facts!!! We need more guys!!

[@micktoons97]

Period.

[@jonesorock3759]

Didn’t you guys get blown out in the first playoff game to the chiefs so 6 total points is misleadiny

[@Evan_Rodgers]

This is just a lie. Y’all lost by 26 combined points- 14, 6, 3, 3.

[@Nyjeezy]

Someone doesn't know how to do simple math....

[@michaelsturdevant9196]

You "feel" like he got that? Video evidence SHOWS that he got that!

[@legitdragon6202]

It literally doesn't

[@Nyjeezy]

literally doesn't cry baby

[@brrk7710]

The tuck rule for Brady…changing overtime rules for playoffs …now they will change rule and use a chip or something

[@Jay12629]

Five days after the game and Florio is still whining about officiating. Real football guy.

[@johnhofer7281]

What’s wrong the Truth hurts?? Buffalo got screwed!!

[@donkeybus]

Evey football fan is and should be upset about this, only cheerleaders and wwe fans are ok with the state of officiating in the nfl.

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

​@@donkeybus Officiating has always been this bad, the only difference is that social media is amplifying everything and everyone has to believe in a false conspiracy theory in order to be an American.

[@jmendo2546]

Its about the Ref on the 3rd and 3 that Kincaid got and ref came in below the play not on the sideline of the First down and placed the ball short by a yard that was a first down clearly ,before the the next play that was also controversial tush push that was called short only by the Ref everybody else sees a first down, 2 bad line calls in a Row. The xavier worthy interception/incomplete not sucured ball with Bad call and the Mahomes Fumble call. 4 calls by the refs that miraculously changed the game for the Cheifs

[@RogerGoodeII]

The only controversial one was the 4th down. The other two were the correct calls. There were controversial calls that went the Bills way too, we just aren’t talking about them. The LT false started on Hollins TD and there was a really bad phantom PI call in the second half as well.

[@ieatturdz]

Also the unsportsmanlike on Phillips, after Kelce came in taunting Hamlin

[@samgallup8260]

I’ll say it again - Josh Allen has been the beneficiary of the most roughing the passer penalties, on a per game average, out of all active QBs since he came into the NFL. Mahomes is ninth on that list.

[@donkeybus]

He is maybe the best rushing qb and the hardest to tackle, and takes a lot of hits. What about on a per hit average? Cause otherwise your stat is meaningless.

[@1snaj]

We’re not talking about that Bass wipe😂

[@samgallup8260]

@@donkeybus It’s “roughing the passer”, not “unnecessary roughness” so your comment is meaningless.

[@BuffaloMotivated]

Not in the playoffs. Mahomes penalties dwarf everyone else’s

[@thescreamingchildren4346]

It simply comes down to the fact that it becomes a city chief's win.The n f l makes more money because taylor swift fans tune in and they can charge more for the commercials if she's in the audience

[@micktoons97]

Keep crying. Love it. Go Chiefs.

[@legitdragon6202]

What about the Super Bowls they won before Taylor? 😂

[@micktoons97]

@ they don’t have an explanation, haters never do. Go Chiefs.

[@BrettR23]

😂

[@toddheywood8837]

I want people to watch that 4th down push again, immediately after the play was stopped, the player for kc immediately goes right up to the ref who had the worse angle on the line, and starts mediating the call. Looks like he got what he wanted.

[@Randy-ul5hy]

why do you think Mahomes helmet is so big sitting on top of his head? It is packed with a mic directly to the refs.

[@Nyjeezy]

cry more LOL

[@toddheywood8837]

@ the exact reply I expect. I hope beyond hope, you guys get boned by a horrendous call in the Super Bowl, would only be fitting, but I’m going to bet it’s goes the other way

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

Players argue with refs on every single play. If you actually think that's evidence, then you might be special needs.

[@dead2me82]

You do know that happens on every close call by players on every team, right?

[@nickjg1587]

This needs to go away. Refs are not rigging games. There's no doubt that something needs to be done about NFL officiating, but there are problems and inconsistencies in every game. People are just tired of seeing the Chiefs win so they're cherry picking questionable calls or even worse, crying about a call that is no doubt a penalty. The bigger issue is people's current state of unrest and unhappiness with life in general. Try to strike up a conversation regarding just about anything with anyone in this mob-mentality driven refs rigging games crowd and decide for yourself if its wise to listen to anything they have to say. For the most part everything is a conspiracy, everyone else is at fault, and everyone else is wrong about everything. The age group isn't surprising either.

[@kevinfinnerty3754]

Found the biased chiefs fan

[@Evan_Rodgers]

What an absolute loser. The Bills lost fair and square. They’ll never win a SB with that weak willed mindset.

[@JT-jh6go]

yeh ok, the Bills were robbed.

[@dalebechtel8904]

You keep telling yourself that sparky

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

Weak men like Brandon Beane will never win anything.

[@SparklyHorns]

we still talking about this?

[@buzzed0nbeer21]

What I wanna know is why didn’t New York step in and say it was a first down? This is in the 4th quarter with the winner going to the Super Bowl.

[@davidsoria7701]

Like most people they couldn't tell. Also Bills cost themselves a SB,they had the ball with 3:33 left and 3 timeouts,2 minute warning and they couldn't get to midfield,then after that they had chance on D to force a KC punt and give their Offense the ball,they gave up 2 huge KC first downs,Bills lost because of Bills & Chiefs!

[@NWstockoperator]

​@@davidsoria7701you don't think the refs would have made another bs call at the end to ensure Buffalo didn't win?

[@TougeMonSter3]

@@NWstockoperatorOnly losers complain about Refs

[@nickjg1587]

​@@NWstockoperatoroh BS. What's the point in even saying anything to anybody at all if you're going to have some sort of excuse for every response? You are better off keeping to yourself

[@NWstockoperator]

@@nickjg1587 the truth triggered you. As a kc fan how do you feel about refs making sure your team will win? Takes away any value doesn't it?

[@america1st721]

where was mcdermott during this complete disaster? exactly, he has no business being a HC in the nfl

[@crimsontwins6612]

That's an emotional statement.

[@georgemilic1234]

Fooy

[@raybord1]

Love seeing Buffalo brass whining about officiating. At least as a KC fan we know they won’t have what it takes to beat PM15 anytime soon.

[@wingedbuffalo4670]

Beane's "giving the league credit for taking the calls" as part of the "diffusing the bomb" -- NOT to GENUINELY give the shield any true "credit."

[@NtourisSgtJackMichoff]

What i love is this is how close we are to beating the chiefs,,, the League has changed rules cause of our losses... The spot thing may change the way they spot the ball and the OT rule...

[@micktoons97]

Seriously. People need to cry to change rules and still can’t beat the Chiefs.

[@ceemegs83]

Calling the manner in how the game is officiated primitive, about a game where grown men slam into each other in pursuit of an object made of pig…can we have a little perspective as to what we’re really talking about here folks lol. It’s a spot call, Bills fans should call Raiders fans about being on the wrong side of a call in a big game. It sucks but bellyaching about the refs is just mute at this point, let it go.

[@ianshongtrs]

Not rigged. Favored by the refs in the regular season and the playoffs. Makes a good team, great. A great team, unstoppable. There was a drone shot replay during the game that showed the ball crossing that line. Curiously we have never seen a replay of that footage again.

[@Randy-ul5hy]

would you say "scripted"?

[@christianwinfield466]

The. Commissioner is lurking in your comments. He thinks the game was well called... Ok time to talk about new commissioner

[@americafirst2052]

Just tell Jalen Carter to bear hug Maholmes when Patrick drops back to pass and pick him up off the ground. Then proceed to pile drive Maholmes into the ground with Carter dropping his full weight on Maholmes. Then look at the ref and say make the call. Now that would be a real game changer and make all the Chiefs haters very happy. The NFL has turned their game into WWF. So may as well have their players join in on it. The integrity of the NFL has been completely shattered.

[@droppin_sik_beets]

The ref narrative is getting old

[@Washington-Dreaming]

There once was a GM named Brandon Beane, In the Chiefs game worst calls he’s ever seen. Walks on egg shells, In a presser he has “tells.” Both Mahomes and Goodell I claim are mean.

[@klove5765]

I love Buffalo Misery, may they never get a SUPERBOWL

[@HeliosWrath]

Bills still would have lost.

[@BrettR23]

Bottom line Bills had the ball , over 3 minutes left with all their time outs. The Bills can't get it done.

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

Lol, you must be brand new to football and not know any of the rules. Keep your mouth closed until you know ball!

[@Caleb-w6l]

With literally hundreds of millions riding on the game, you have to wonder if gambling is corrupting the NFL in the same way it corrupted, and destroyed, Asian soccer leagues. It's naive to suppose everyone connected with games has to much integrity to accept a multi-million payday for 30 seconds work...

[@stevensprouse2449]

I am tired of refs having no responsibility which requires accountability for bad calls. Is the game fixed? When all the close calls go in one teams favor then the answer becomes clear. It was the same for the patriots. I could care less about the super bowl. I'd rather watch a good movie for the 50th time.

[@LucasSChiefsLightning]

The thing is, is that the Chiefs were screwed over on a bunch of calls in that game, but literally no one cares.

[@johnsambo9379]

Bill fans cry worse than babies. Maybe get a better quarterback that doesn't choke.

[@diannescearce5734]

What a bunch of whiners. You can't win so blame the refs.

[@ieatturdz]

Chiefs fans have selective vision

[@diannescearce5734]

@ieatturdz Nope, just been around sports long enough to know that there are questionable calls in every game in every sport. Professionals shut their mouths and move on.

[@ieatturdz]

@@diannescearce5734True. So in 2023 when the bills played the chiefs and kadarius Toney lined up offsides erasing that chiefs touchdown. Mahomes throwing a huge tantrum cussing out the refs during the game was unprofessional

Taylor Swift is the problem!!!!
