Get the good stuff out of the way early so 1) it's not as obvious late and 2) one team plays the game completely differently than how they've game planned.  KC has dominated the league this season but look so inept they can't tie their shoe.  That's odd..

NFL is a big business, with big business you want your best products to be successful.  It's actually an embarrassment to "true competition."

8 for 95 yards, a few questionable

1 for 5 yards

Crazy!

Yep. It’s really all pro sports at this point. And frankly it’s college too.  Successful programs get the help of the whistle.  
 

It’s why the Kohl’s center is so favorable to the badgers. Where as we don’t even always get the whistle in our own building.

Tampa dominating field position because Bowles has Reid stumped is way more influential than any penalties, though some have been bad for sure.

There’s no big conspiracy tonight. Kansas City just picked the wrong game to have a stinker. 

Except they weren’t having a stinker. They were only down 7-3 when two terrible calls kept a TB drive alive

Patrick Mahomes is 12-25 for 80 yards and an INT. That has a lot more to do with the score than two ‘terrible’ calls. Not everything is a conspiracy.

It can be both.  The Bucs defense has played extremely well.  The officiating has been extremely one sided.

Mahomes had 23 yards passing 6 minutes into the 2nd quarter when touchdown drivegate happened.

I'm not saying it's a conspiracy.  I'm saying it's the way of the NFL.  I'm sure they just picked the wrong game to have a stinker when they've been dominant for most of the season.  They probably just figured they win easily and didn't prep.  Don't watch when Mahomes drops back, watch what happens at the line and in routes.

Crazy that your analysts are making comments, all the stats about how good Mahomes has been, and ... he just can't seem to do anything in this game.  Must just be a stinker!

Mahomes is the best QB in the league and is going to be the face of the NFL for the next decade plus. Why wouldn’t the NFL want him to go back to back? 

[Josh 12,610]

MVP of the game is Bucs defensive line.  But the slurpers will make sure their golden child will get it

All the analysts were right. The Chiefs OL is suspect and they’re getting absolutely dominated up front. Mahomes doesn’t have a prayer tonight.

Successful conspiracies need to prevent an insider leaking the ugly truth.

That’s why successful conspiracies almost always have very few participants, not hundreds and hundreds of NFL refs and league officials.

Definitely another big factor of the game.

[HoosierAloha 30,057]

Why didn't they go back to that angle of the Bucs DB holding in the endzone during that scramble?  They showed a quick replay and then got away from that angle to show multiple other angles.  There was a ton of contact, more so than the PIs on the Chiefs but I'm sure it was another reason.

[Josh 12,610]

Good grief this is a stinking present from the officials to the Bucs

[HoosierAloha 30,057]

That's awesome!  I was on the field at a Pro Bowl when a fan went streaking.  Our dog handler asked the SA if he wanted her to let the dog loose, that would have been fun.  The streaker wanted nothing to do with 15 massive Samoan security guards chasing him and when they got close he dropped to the ground in a fetal position quicker than you can say "****ed."

[Hoosierfan2017 21,121]

Mahomes limping with turf toe and KC’s offensive line getting manhandled are much bigger reasons for the three touchdown deficit than any penalties that have it haven’t been called. 

[Hovadipo 55,437]

Antoine Whitfield Jr. making an arse out of himself? Shocking!

 

Go back and find the police reports from the Minnesota Football sexual assault situation if you’d like to learn more about how much of an upstanding human he (allegedly, but daddy is a former pro so hmmmmmm) is! Will not post here because they are, at best, horrifying.

Tyreke Hill’s an abuser too though so it’s a pick your fighter situation on that one

Indeed. Fair. 

[LIHoosier 26,023]

KC's O-line is so bad the streaker had a free shot on Mahomes.

Oops, had this in the IU/Iowa thread :/
