Teams always find a way to lose to themselves and the refs against us.
Texans fans bitching about the refs is outright hilarious. They didn't play well enough to win. They botched the double dip strategy on both sides of the half. Their D gave up easy plays in the middle of the field to Kelce, which is literally the most predictable play design the Chiefs were likely to run. Their kicker Fairbairn was complete ass, completing a "hat trick" of missed FG, missed PAT, blocked kick. Through either bad O-Line play or bad play design they left their QB hanging out to dry during the final drives, resulting in Stroud getting completely pummeled for what, 8 sacks?
Texans knew they were gonna have to deliver an A+ effort to go on the road and win at Arrowhead in the playoffs. They gave a C+ effort and lost.
Preach, and when it came down to it they needed to contain George Karlaftis when it mattered most and they didn't.
So what does it say about the Chiefs that they only won by 11 (I'm not counting that safety) with the refs helping them all game. Truth is it would have been a close game without extreme ref bias.
I guess the Chiefs losing to C+ effort wouldn't look good in the playoffs.
The data does not back up this silly narrative that the refs help the chiefs.
Whatever makes you feel better.
Do you have data on bad calls and bad missed calls? Did you not watch the game?
Even the commentators noticed it and they err on the side of benefit of the doubt. The game would have been close if called fairly.
