It was definitely holding, they made the right call. The only question was it right to basically decide the game, maybe you call it a little looser and let things slide a bit with the Super Bowl on the line.

If they hadn't called it, I would have understood but he was definitely holding.

I think as Big 12 fans we just never see holding ever called so it caught us by surprise.

This game wase close but didn't feel exciting to me like other close games such as wildcard games this year or last year's championship games. 

The college playoff semifinals were the most enjoyable.

Cry eagles cry.

DB admitted it was a hold. Move on. Chiefs could have still scored there even if no flag. Just amount of time is effected with the flag.  Dont be dumb at the end of a game. Just like Bengals late hit on Mahomes sealed that game. 
 

good game

Not sure about that one. The Cowboys one from last week was obvious with the cheap sub $100 little shitty 32 inch tv. 

That looked like a 65"+ which even the cheap ones are still several hundred dollars. A lot of money to waste on a throw away video prank

It didn't decide the game. It was just one call of many. If they make the right call on the fumble/TD, the Chiefs would have been up by a TD at that point anyway.

If you don't wanna get called for holding late in the game, then don't hold late in the game. I've never understood the idea that refs should ignore rule infractions during a certain part of the game and not during the rest of it.

Somehow I think Hurts fumbling away a TD, the Eagles' defense never stopping the Chiefs in the second half, and their punt return team letting Toney get it down to the 5 was probably what decided the game.  

Game was over before that hold anyway.  Chiefs were always going to run the clock down and kick the FG.  Doubt Butker misses a second FG from anything inside 50.

Also, I think people are more upset about the hold because on the replays you're looking at the defender's left hand being behind Ju-Ju's back which doesn't look like a hold whatsoever.  But it's the right hand on the jersey before that when Ju-Ju was turning which drew the flag.  And it was obviously a hold and obviously the correct call.

The argument that they should not call less blatant penalties at the end of a game is the worst opinion in sports, perhaps second only to an opinion that Oklahoma doesn't suck. The rule book does not say anything about different levels of penalties at the end of a close game, and calling it that way is intentionally rewarding the team that is willing to cheat more.

Expand  

This is the take my four year old would make. 

There is offensive holding on literally evey play of the game, so unless you are jiggy with 15 hour games ending in a 4-2 score, you will need to re-adjust your rationale.

This sounds like something my mother would say. Were you even watching?? No hold and KC kicks the FG, but with over a minute left.

I agree. But they should NEVER call anything that isn't 100 percent egregious from minute 1 of the 1st preseason game to the Super Bowl. These are the best players in the world and they're selling entertainment. Having a small, minor thing that had no outcome on a play being the single deciding factor in a playoff or championship game is the opposite of entertainment. It ruins what could have been a great finish. Just like it did in the AFC title game.

It was 3rd down, you're right about that.

Of course, you're wrong about everything else. 

It was a hold.  It kept the receiver from running his route.  Yes, offensive holding could be called on every play.  Those holds aren't anywhere near as impactful as a defender keeping a WR from running his route most of the time.  And most of what the average idiot NFL fan thinks is offensive holding isn't actually offensive holding if you read the fucking rules and listen to refs talk about it.  Of course, you're arguing that the rules shouldn't matter because of "Random Reason I Made Up Because I'm Mad the Chiefs Won."  By your logic I could argue you should never throw a flag in the last X minutes of a game when the score is closer than Y.  Or we should never throw flags on the guys that sell the most jerseys for the NFL.  Hell, you're actually arguing for the games to be scripted like all these mouth breathing conspiracy theorists.

And no one cares about your family members or your weird negative outlook on their opinions, my dude.

I get this argument. Having the refs insert themselves in a critical moment of a championship game is a downer. As I said if they hadn't called that I would have understood. However, it was a not a bad call. It was holding and they called it correctly by the rules. The Eagles knew it.

So in the history of refball and bad calls I don't think it ranks even in the top 100.

Stop being butthurt and just admit you were wrong on this one. Nobody is going to be right every single time. 

Also, I am not sure how your conspiracy theory thing fits into your post, but you and your Trump friends just do you.

Yep. When a ref calls a penalty near the end of the game, there's always an outcry over the ref 'deciding the outcome' ... but the ref didn't decide the outcome. That's on the penalized player if he did the crime. If he did the crime and the ref didn't penalize him, that would be the ref manipulating the result of the game.

You're not very bright. They should call holding every time it happens. That wouldn't result in 15 hour games, that would result in less holding.

You know what? I think you are actually correct. We would have 1 hour and 40 minute games ending 6-3 becuase no one would attempt a pass.

WTF even have a rule book? This is the opposite of good sense. We’ve all seen games at the high school to pro level that get away from the refs. That’s what happens when you don’t call what you see or decide “a little rule breaking that isn’t bad my opinion is OK.” 
 

Call every play as you see it. That’s all you can ask from a ref.

I had no idea 1 holding penalty could be worth 38 points. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

It's not about the points given up.

 

The down and distance was 3rd and 8 and would have been 4th down and a field goal attempt that would have left about 1:20 or so on the clock. It was ticky tacky call at best that directly affected the outcome of the game more so than it should. Until that call it had been well called game IMO. The receivers route wasn't impeded and the ball was no where close to catchable. Mahomes was literally throwing it away at that point.

I don’t think I have ever been more indifferent while watching the Super Bowl. I still get more emotionally invested watching the old NFL Films Super Bowl shows. That being said. My brother had a very good take before the game.

I don’t have anything against the Eagles but, I don’t want anyone from Philly to enjoy this. I want them to be miserable

Seems reasonable.

That was a strange halftime performance.

My nephew remarked that the dancers in white looked like they were Chinese workers in Wuhan trying to fight the plague. Rihanna is nice to look at but, I don’t care much for her music. It just seemed too weak for such a large venue. But, that’s the kind of show the NFL wants.

Me, I’d go for a really good marching band from a HBCU.

What are you talking about? It was clearly a hold. The defender pulled on JUJU’s jersey. The defender ADMITTED he held him. It was blatant. 
 

 

and anyone crying about the refs when their team had a grand total of 6 penalties called is really reaching.

 

 

and fuck the Eagles.

Th game was nothing compared to the AFC Championship game.  That game was a flag fest.  Anytime the Bengals made a good play, there was a flag.

It does...hell Quinn does that shit when the route isn't there. That was right at the break of the whip. The ball was overthrown by 10+ yards. That isn't making JuJu cover 10 more yards

The overthrow doesn't matter in the case of a HOLDING call.  If they were calling pass interference, then you could call the ball uncatchable.
