Josh Allen made some bad decisions and bad throws at the end of the game, pressure got to him I guess.

Yeah, saw a bit on Travis opening a school of music for disadvantaged kids and so give him major props for that.
Also rebuilds homes for the elderly, didn't play on the last week of the schedule, even though he could have set a record (needed just 16 yards) because he thought it would be selfish, etc. They are just good folks, parents seem to have raised them right.
cheers and Go Chiefs
The ref thing has been eternal. And no matter what they do some folks will never be happy.
We used to watch games with no instant replay. Then we got instant replay. Then we got super slo-mo replay. Then we got the official on the field review, and the call to New York, and the red flag, and the retired official in the booth.
Some of these calls that people bitch about can only be seen from one specific camera angle and single stop frame reviews. And to reverse a call it has to be clear and evident. Clear and evident in 1/100 second of time? GTFO!
I suspect, in fact I can guarantee, that there will be controversy in the spring leagues too. We won't hear about it as much because the sport isn't watched and supported as much as the NFL.
I think some of the rules need to be tweaked. Holding is one rule that I despise. Let them hold. If a lineman doesn't want to be held then take care of it. By week 3 all of them will have their fingers in casts. If you are a receiver and don't want to be held then get clear. The old go long and I'm going to throw it short interference play needs to be ruled as uncatchable and no foul.
The issue isn't the ones with no clear angle or not enough to overturn. The issue is the increase in egregious, clear-as-day calls/non-calls that have the appearance of being one-sided and always come at crucial moments. nobody expects perfection, but there seems to be an awful lot of those ones that leave anyone with eyes wondering that the hell is going on.
And those plays are discovered by stop frame reviews.
That wasn't me that posted that. I haven't made any actual ref complaints other than my general "they can fix it if they want to" response to the KC one.
Apologies, my bad, I will delete
Source: Bears to hire Seattle's Waldron as OC
The Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal to make Shane Waldron their next offensive coordinator, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Aw, come on now friend. That was just me making the standard NFL conspiracy joke about how the league wants specific teams to win and will make that happen by hook or crook. 5 years ago it would have been about Brady and the Pats.
I'm a seahawks fan, I don't particularly care one way or the other about the Chiefs. Nobody likes teams that win too much for too long, but Mahomes is crazy talented, Kelce seems like a good dude, Andy Reid is like a jolly walrus.
I just get tired of seeing bad calls that have a clear camera angle showing them to be bunk. As I said before, either get rid of all replay and we can all just live with the human element, or make every effort to do it right. Even with every effort, there will still be lots of judgement calls for everyone to argue with. I just hate the ones where it's obvious someone screwed up.
And it's worth noting that Josh Allen absolutely DID get away with a illegal forward pass in last nights game as well. But that's not the example I used because all KC had to do was throw the challenge flag. Reply would have instantly fixed it. Would a spring-league like sky judge have also fixed the issue without having to deal with a challenge flag? Of course, and that's why I advocate for having one. But at the very least there is a currently existing remedy for KC if they want it in a situation like that, just drop the red flag.
The Bills had no recourse for that bad PI call because you can't challenge a penalty, even if it's clearly wrong.

Ha!!
Well, it was a conspiracy when it was the Pats, nobody's arguing that
Cheers, and Go Chiefs!!
I find muting the commentary makes me pay closer attention to what is going on
Interesting
TV commentary is fine. I don't get the hate that some people have for particular announcers. I like some of the TV guys better than others, but whatever. It doesn't make or break a game for me. Different strokes for different folks though.
I will say that I've enjoyed Steve Raible on the Hawks radio broadcasts for decades now. I think Seattle has been lucky across its sports teams to have some very good people on the job. Raible, Neihaus, Calabro, Rondeau, etc. The Kraken smartly jumped right into the tradition with quality hires of Forslund and Fitzhugh.

I’ve watched a LOT of film up until just a few years ago. None of the film has sound and you usually watch hours per week. You get conditioned to where sound is annoying
