Butker's been a little shaky today...wonder if that comes into play.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Mahomes is great. What a performance.

[Mackus]

Oh man ...that's gonna piss some Eagles fans off. Ballgame unless a fumble or a shank.

[Mackus]

I'd be furious if that was called against my team. Very touchy. And almost no penalties the rest of the game.

[glenn__davis]

Agree with the commentators, that's a soft holding call.

[Mackus]

Was rooting for KC but that's a really bummer way to end an otherwise terrific game.

[Mackus]

Philly needs Calais Campbell.

[Dupin]

Yeah that's a bad call, but that was still a good game.  I like Mahomes, and I'm glad to see him get another ring.

Mahomes is great. What a performance.

Already a top 3 QB with this legendary run and performance

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Let me taste all the Philly fan tears. You know Siriani is going to be so salty in the presser. Im here for it. That guy is a tool

[Ravens2006]

Not hard core about it but preferred a Chiefs win. That holding call at the end is about everything that's wrong with the game now though.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Ill have to watch the play again to have a stronger opinion of the call. Im sure if it was my team Id hate it.

James Bradberry said afterward that he did grab the receiver's jersey and he couldn't disagree with the call.

 

In real time, the foul appeared pretty innocuous, but when split-second timing is vital in most NFL passing games, there was an advantage gained by that play. It was probably no more the equivalent of a half step on the part of the receiver, but enough to merit a flag.

I agree. There is also no doubt that sometimes its not called. The subjectivity and leeway officals have to officate the game is what waters is down for me. Football calls can have such an impact on the game. I dont think its even debateable that NFL officials have more impact on the game than any other pro sport.

The Chiefs running backs ran the ball better tonight than Philly's backs. And on defense they wanted to stop the run and make Jalen Hurts beat them with his arm. It worked just well enough, I guess. The way to lose to the Eagles is to let them run the ball and chew up the clock. 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Philly was overrated all year. SF when healthy is a good team but we have to remember the SF team Philly beat in the Champ game. Otherwise that conference is pretty suspect. Compare that to the AFC. KC, Cin, and Buf are all very good. I think its fair to generally speaking put Philly and SF in with those 3 AFC teams. Those 5 are a step above but then IMO Ill take Baltimore with a healthy Lamar and SD despite the choke job over any other NFC team. Must have been nice to have a cakewalk to the SB. No AFC team is getting any cakewalks to the SB anytime soon.

They allowed the Eagles RT to jump off the line too soon on just about every pass play. The announcers kept pointing it out..

 

Also I didn't see a replay of the last play. Hurts got nothing on that last pass.

His shoulder has been an issue but he doesnt have a very good arm. Acceptable for the way Philly wanted to and was able to play this year.

Can't make mistakes against KC.  The fumble and punt return completely changed what looked like a Philly dominated game.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

They had a 10 point lead and a wounded QB at half. Patty was coming back and winning this game regardless. The only thing that fumble return for 7 did was stop Mahomes from putting more passing yards for bettors
