My take: that was the shittiest ending to a Super Bowl I've ever seen. CB's get away with worse holding on nearly every play. A ticky-tack call decided the SB winner, and that's a shame.

IDK...you can see JuJu being yanked back a bit at the start...corners hands draped all over him. I can't tell if he's grabbing the jersey after that...maybe he was.

And completely changed Wilson's directional momentum.

Not subtle like the call today.
I agree. Wilson definitely impeded Kupp more than Juju was. But just like last year, it happened at the end of the game on a pivotal down and probably changed the outcome.

KC Oline, no sacks given up vs the best pass rush defense in the NFL.

Did any one notice that we passed on Creed Humphrey in the draft for Tutu Atwell?

Yes i did.

The ref said the call was made for Bradberry's initial hold with his right hand, not for any contact afterwards.

I dunno... still seems like not enough to decide a championship. Call it a bit looser in crunch time.

And yes I still like the call that went Kupp's way in the last SB. :angel:

Great game.

I did not like the call on Bradberry, so the ending fell flat to me.

Ending was definitely flat. Eagles weren't patient enough at the end and scored too fast, so I knew how the rest would go. No suspense.

Looked like a hold to me. And do you throw out the rule book on such a "pivotal down"?

The call effectively iced the game but the Chiefs were still going to kick a FG and then Philly had to drive to tie or take the lead.

If Philly fans want to cry about that call, you were up by double digits and allowed the Chiefs to score 17 4th quarter points. Mahomes on his busted ankle had like a 30 yard rush on that drive, too. Eagles came put completely flat in the late 3rd and 4th quarters.

th


But seriously, if you really believe what you wrote ... 'It looks like Hurts faked it and gave up the chance to win.' ... then I think you would have to ignore dozens of simple but relevant factors and considerations.

I think it was a good call. An early tug can stop a receiver from reaching his spot when the ball is thrown.

However I would have preferred that the ref didn’t call it. So the ending was more exciting.

I concur although Bradberry admitted it was the correct call after the game, however, as a fan all of us would have liked to see the Eagles get more of a chance at the end IMHO.

I know the Mannings disagree, but with a long halftime, there were definitely some adjustments by Reid for the 2nd half ... four possessions, four scores for 24 points. That's pretty much the story of the game. All the Chiefs had to do on D is get one stop, which they did and with the offense rolling, that was it.
I think they are wrong. Coaches may not overhaul a game plan but the can find a weakness to exploit after talking at halftime.
I agree. Wilson definitely impeded Kupp more than Juju was. But just like last year, it happened at the end of the game on a pivotal down and probably changed the outcome.
The biggest change to the outcome last year was allowing Higgins facemask on Ramsey. Otherwise the Rams never get behind.
That was really cool of Bradberry to admit that
I wonder if that is going to be the new trend, that was ordered by Goodell, dmitting it to the press to quell speculation of a fixed outcome.

Either way, why risk a penalty on a play that hasn’t unfolded yet? Bradberry didn’t look beat off the line. Maybe he felt that he was.
