The Refs.

I keep seeing multiple posts in the chiefs subreddit about how the refs lost the game for them and how bad the calls were. Am I the only one that thinks the refs were bad towards the colts? There were plenty of holds on MATHIS (Obviously, how else do you slow him down) and that facemask on Donald in the beginning that didn't get called was a joke. It seems the fans find every reason to blame the game on something other than themselves. I'd say we won because Mathis' strip sack (classic) which caused the momentum to shift.

Who cares? They lost. Ignore them. They're butthurting.

I think overall today the refs were really good, sure there might have been one or 2 missed calls, but that will happen every game. At the end of the day the big calls they got right and the refereeing didn't even seem to enter the conversation for most people.

After some of the games we've had this year, it was pleasantly surprising.

I'll take lots and lots of missed calls over bad calls all day every day. This was a game where the fouls that were called, were pretty obviously right. I like that.

I have to agree with you. Either team could say that the refs were against them if they lost. It's just a physcological thing for the fans

I agree with you about the holdings penalties, they drove me crazy. But that face mask was a good no call. he didn't twist brown helmet at all. U think in the second half we get few calls our way but all in all it was a normal day at the office for NFL referees, inconsistent and driving every one crazy but equally for both teams .

It seems that a loss is always = to the refs screwing the game. Never mind the fact that the Chiefs played and coached a phenomenal game and simply couldn't make one more play. Did the refs lose all of those games for them to close out the season including one against this team as well?

If I were a Chiefs fan I would be pretty damned excited about how hard my team played all the way to the last play of the game. Alex Smith played out of his mind in particular. They fought through the adversity of all of those injuries and were a part of an all time classic game. They should be looking forward to next season and give their team some dignity.

It was KC's WR picks that the refs missed that pissed me off. They were blatant and should have been called. I think I counted about 5 of them.

You don't lose a 28-point lead because of refs. The butthurt is strong with these ones.
