I think the Bills got hosed. I also think, that it's possible that even if the right call was made and if the Bills ended up scoring that the Chiefs would have too much time on the clock and could have won the game scoring with no time. Or maybe the Bills would have fumbled or threw a pick 6. Or maybe they would have won the game. The problem is that they didn't get a chance because ONCE again, in a high-leverage moment, the Chiefs were the beneficiary of a questionable call.
Listen, no one here doubts that the Chiefs are good enough to be any team if the game is refed fairly, they are just tired of the one-sided calls going in their favor. Losing fairly stings but nothing stings as much as feeling you got cheated. Just like in our 2018 NFCCG, it was not beyond reason for the Saints to have fumbled or have a FG blocked if DPI was called when it should have been. Just make the right call and let a team have a real chance.
And before you say, well, the Bills still had a chance to win afterward, no one is disputing that. But why put them in a position unfairly and still expect them to overcome what SHOULD be impartial officiating? I would like fairness, and unbiased officiating with accountability on such high leverage situations.
As a side note, I have said before, NFL footballs should have microchips in the seams so that in calls like this, when the ball crosses the plane of the first down or endzone, when it's THIS close, it can be declared in or short BEYOND ALL doubt. You have legacies and TONS of money at stake.
