The over under on this game was 51. They are at 72 with a whole quarter to play. So yeah it is fixed. Either that or we are seeing a game with talented players that can actually execute. You know like throw and catch a football. I watch too many Cowboys and Vikings games where there is not a lot of quality throwing and catching going on.

It looks as if Mahomes really is the REAL deal! Titans will need more than they were yesterday. What will we see in GB?

Early news today said KC ran out of fireworks they use to celebrate touchdowns. Bet the Bears could help them out.

the officiating in the NFL is a clown show. goes both ways with the bad calls. Graham may or may not have gotten the first down. The "fumble recovery" by the Packers that the ref said couldn't be overturned due to not being able to tell who recovered the ball, yet the GB player handed the ball to the ref. GTFO of here with that BS.

How about after they ruled Graham got the first down, then the ref comes back and says, "upon receiving additional footage,,,," that confirms first down.
*** is that???? All my years I've never heard this before? What was the "additional footage"? Someone spy an Iphone from section 410 and called down and said,,, YUP first down. I mean these refs are the worst and its all instant replays fault.

I say scrap the whole dang thing. All of it.
If you replay zealots can't without it, then I maybe can be convinced where each team gets two opportunities to review a play. Two and only two. Whatever they want to review, catch, fumble, ball spots,, etc...

My whole thing with replay isn't that it hardly ever works how it was intended. It has taken all the excitement out of big plays. And now any type of big play is followed by 5 minutes of,,, did he ,, didn't he,,,, blah blah,,, just kills the game flow.

Not to mention the refs just use it as a crutch now and basically aren't officiating the game.

One more add no more reviewing pass interference. too objective, plus they never changed a call all season anyway. scrap it.

What about challenging penalties? The one that comes to mind was the botched call on Cordarelle Patterson hitting the punt receiver and causing a fumble which the Bears recovered. The second game with Green Bay. Instead the Pack kept the ball and Patterson got penalized 15 yards. Pack scored. Changed whole game. Possibly. We will never know. But the replays shown made it clear that Patterson timed it perfectly and there was no fair catch signal. So that is messed up too.
You know they will never scrap it all. That would mean admitting that they made a mistake and that will never happen.

no way challenge penalties. That just opens a Pandora box of reviewing anything under the sun. Games will be 4 hours long.
The officiating will be better if replay is gone, because they won't have this crutch to rely on.
