That play where the refs ignored Abram's TO signal while being hurt was utterly despicable. (1 Viewer)

Hosh posh, this league is all about player safety! Thought y'all knew that!

How about the one where the refs ignored the helmet to helmet hit on Olave?

I said in my earlier post there were bad/missed calls. But we allowed 51 points. 277 yards rushing without their #1 RB. 325 yards passing. I'm not defending the zebras, but that ain't all them. I'm sorry.

I have never seen anything like that before. That was something else. Blatantly egregious.

Dennis Allen doesn’t seem to think so.

I was simply pointing out a blatant non-call.
Never once blamed that non-call for our loss.

What’s funny is that right before that I was about to post “so this is what it feels like to be a Chief’s fan”. Not saying that the calls against Tampa shouldn’t have been called, but I’m not use to them actually doing so. Then all of a sudden the switch flipped and they started missing everything and calling BS. Really sad

Bucs had 12 penalties, we had 7. Where was it skewed in their direction. We got our arses handed to us. We had a punt return for a TD, 3 picks and put up 27 points. Not on refs. I'm sorry.

Oh the loss was on the Saints. However, that doesn't mean the officiating was not atrocious. Both can be true at the same time.

It looked like the old "Scuba" play. I don't think Abram's was legit hurt.

The game wasn't won/lost due to the officiating, but anyone objectively watching could see this was far and away the worst officiated game of the season. When a player gets ear holed by a crown of helmet, that's an automatic PF penalty every time. I saw another play almost exactly like that get called in another game today. Make the call or don't, but don't tell me they are making good calls.

And also, the Abrams play on the same drive resulted in a interception anyways.

If you read my earlier post I said there were bad/missed calls.

I don't care how many penalties got called. It's the ones which didn't. Like the headshot on Olave which should have brought back 7 pts. Then there was the headshot on Rattler that didn't get called bringing 4th down. Or the illegal blindside blocking #17 got away with several times.

So no, it's not as simple as they got more called. Bucs played dirty and the refs let em as much as they called em.

Well i often question if Allen thinks at all.

I've never questioned his desire or ability to think. That's never been at issue. He's a capable coach. Just not HC material. HC requires a different skillset than a position coach or even coordinator. He's not a leader of men imo.

Id agree with you- i was of course making a joke, but ever since that interview with Malcom Jenkins it was clear to me what kind of leader Allen was… not a very good one.
