Just win is easier said than done if you control your own outcome . When the refs rip a win out under you it's a different story. If you took a poll , 95% of the fans are fed up with the officiating. My wife knows very little about the game , and she's always asking me " why is that a penalty " .
Teams usually do control their own outcomes. What would've just one TD done instead of settling for a FG done for the Rams Thursday (I'm talking about early first half). It amazes me how much focus is on refs, rather than what teams could've done themselves to erase that or prevent it from even happening in the first place.
You should know from my posts last year that I think saying refs cost a team a win is just a excuse. And a lazy one at that.
Execute. Make the ref calls NOT matter. If a team folds after one call, that says more about the team than the official.
It's not necessarily the refs, it's the league putting rules in to protect the players. Then they don't call those rules consistently.
The more I think about it, the more rules being implemented are a direct result of the league listening to the criticism police from the media and fans. They focus so damn much on getting one call right, and instead over complicate it.
Unless the QB is Goff, then you can hit him in the head and neck with no flag. Again its the inconsistency more so then the rules.
I don't see that happening to him often though...
Prime example right there . Did anyone see the ball clearly hit the ground ? You may think it did , but did it ?
IDK. Did it? See, that's what happens when you (the royal you) over complicates it. Didn't look like it to me. Let it stand. Chiefs made that irrelevant ultimately. Carry on.
