Ravens got jobbed

[FrodosFinger]

Felt like Buffalo got bailed out today. Some of the PI calls were mind boggling. I have no dog in the fight but I guess that’s why you play for home field advantage. Home cooked calls unfortunately

Be careful you'll get called out as a wearer of a silver hat...I checked out a bit in this one..so can't say either way.

 

[Cyrus12]

I do think the Bills is the easier match up for the Chiefs.

 

[CPHawk]

I saw plenty of no called PI on the ravens DBs. They got away with a lot, so can’t blame the refs for Andrew’s dropping the ball.

 

[Chapow]

Ravens turned the ball over 3 times, didn't force any turnovers, and dropped what would have been the game tying 2 point conversion. They've got no one to blame but themselves.

 

[Bobblehead]

Look no further than Andrews fumble and 2pt drop.

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Doesn’t really matter. The script has the chiefs winning and the refs will do everything to make it so

 

[Maulbert]

Really? So the refs made Mark Andrews fumble, and then drop the tying 2 point conversion?

For that matter, did the refs make the Ravens go for 2 twice when they would've been tied if they just took extra points?

Horse hockey.

Bills beat the Chiefs this year. Ravens lost to them. Ravens are 1-5 against the Mahomes-led Chiefs. Bills are 4-4.

This is complete bullshit.

This is complete bullshit.

Mahomes unbeaten vs the Bills in the playoffs...3-0. This is the stat that matters.

Mahomes 1-0 vs. Ravens. The only difference is the Bill have been competive against KC in their losses. The Ravens haven't. Kansas City owns Lamar Jackson. They don't own Josh Allen.

Again, bullshit.

And they still lost every game...Mahomes is in their head. They'll be 4-0 after next week...gonna be a rough week

Ravens are still worse than the Bills against the Chiefs. Your anecdotal evidence doesn't match up with the statistical evidence.

But that's just how people are now. Believe whatever you want and ignore the proof against it.

 

[Aussie Seahawk]

I just *hope* the Bills win next week, and advance to the Superbowl... and then win that!

 

[Cyrus12]

What

What proof???? 4-4 in reg season games 3-0 for the Chiefs in the games that matter. Chiefs have their number when it counts. There's your proof. Maybe the Bills pull this off finally but history says no.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Re the Chiefs 3-0 record vs the Bills in the playoffs, what did the refs have to do with the Bills mismanaging that last 13 seconds in that infamous game? That's a heck of a script having Gabe Davis score the go ahead TD there. Quite the script also to have Allen miss Diggs late in the game last year and then Bass miss the game tying field goal.

Do the Chiefs / Mahomes get calls that other teams and QBs don't? Yep. So did the Pats under Brady. A bigger reason those teams win is they don't have the missed FG, dropped pass, fumble etc in big moments.

I recall hearing all the complaints and being annoyed about it but I recall a time from the Fail Mary to about 2017 that people accused the Hawks of getting every call at home.

The Ravens only have themselves to blame for that loss. Interceptions, fumbles, dropped passes, any one of which would have altered the outcome. They screwed the pooch. The Ravens had 3 turnovers, the Bills zero.

The officiating in game was in no way, shape, or form analogous with the Chiefs-Texans game.

 

[bileever]

All this talk about steering the games in favor of the Chiefs is funny (and crazy). The NFL loves parity, not dynasties. The Chiefs' fan base is small compared to other ones. If the NFL really wanted the most out of the Super Bowl, the games would be steered toward the New York and Los Angeles teams.

Despite a lot of fake news about Taylor Swift bringing female fans to the NFL, Nielsen, the ratings company recently found that she hadn't had much effect on football ratings at all. (If you have any daughters or know any young women, this wouldn't surprise you.)

It is obvious to anyone who watches, that PI penalties are a joke. What I have seen is that contact is allowed, hands on receivers, pushing off by the receivers. I liked it better when contact that kept a receivers hand or arm from moving was PI, and when the QB stood strong in the pocket, to deliver a great pass in face of a fierce rush, gets creamed by Joe Greene. Sorry, better game when there was danger and injury to the QB primadonnas. Off that subject, but THE KICKOFFS ARE A JOKE.

Jesus, follow along. The only thing I said you were wrong about this whole thread.

I do think the Bills is the easier match up for the Chiefs.

THIS IS FALSE BY EVERY STATISTICAL ANALYSIS.
