I don't think I'd say it was a good game, but it was an entertaining mess of a game. There were even more pretty obvious penalties that just didn't get called. I know the Seahawks used to explicitly count on the refs being unwilling to call every penalty (an old AFC West trick). For a while last night it seemed like that bluff was being called.
Chiefs trick. We will just have the OLine hold on every play and yeah they will probably call a couple egregious ones throughout the game but for the most part we will get away with it and give Mahomes enough time to do his thing.

Not just holding. Have you seen the clips of all their blatant false starts that don't get called? I think the Chiefs know that the league is in their corner, especially with the Taylor Swift stuff, so they're daring the refs to cost them a win.

I was so dismayed after last year's Championship games. Obviously I was bummed about the NFC championship game debacle with Brock getting hurt and then the game getting away from the Niners but the officiating in the AFC championship game really ticked me off. The refs handed the game to the Chiefs. I was glad the season was almost. It really felt like what is the point of even watching.
