It is worse because of social media. A certain segment of the population is always looking for a conspiracy, another segment just wants to hate on people for no particular reason. Mix that with over success and this is what you are left with. I was rewatching the last superbowl that the Chiefs played the Eagles.( where most of this started). First you had the complaint of field conditions. Like somehow we had something to do with it because Toma ( who was the NFL Super Bowl landscaper forever) had done something nefarious. But we all played on the same field. There were multiple 50/50 calls that didn’t go the Chiefs way, including at least two bad holds by Bradbury that stopped drive’s prior to the last one. ( that was holding BTW. Lost on the naysayers was the fact that the Chiefs scored 24pts in the second half against the supposedly best defense. This included two walk in red zone touchdowns that were laughable. This takes us to last week… the Bills lost because our coaches and quarterback just play better in big moments. Eight years ago I wouldn’t have said this. Reid used to shrink in big moments and drive me crazy. This current collection is just operating at a very high level.For all this talk about the NFL rigging games for the Chiefs..... it sure does seem a bit odd that it has essentially taken over the talk of the town basically. Seen several YouTube videos discussing it, whether the NFL is rigged, fixing games, etc. Even Pat McAfee was talking about it on his show, I know the NFL and the Refs association have come out and denied all this but it's crazy that the NFL has let this become a thing. If Chiefs win, it's only going to get louder.
Obviously it might take a while, but realistically how long until a Tim Donahue situation actually breaks and shakes the NFL to its core?
Btw Lamar got hosed. He was obviously the MVP.
