Here’s your attention.
Now you can continue your weird victory melt.

Did Godell make him say that?

It's obvious that he grabbed him slightly. However, that happens on literally every single play in the NFL.

It wasn’t a terrible call, he did affect the receiver’s route and may have been beat if he hadn’t grabbed him. Chiefs also still win if it wasn’t called so I don’t know why it’s such a huge storyline. I’m not a chiefs fan either

It was holding. Do you call that at that particular time in the game when it wasn’t a horrible hold is an argument BUT the biggest issue was the dense allowing a score every possession of the second half. They get one stop and Philadelphia wins. That’s the bigger story. That call should have never mattered.

Yeah OK. Clearly the Eagles wouldn't have had a chance to move the ball into field goal range or score the go ahead TD with well over a minute remaining on the clock. You know since KC defense had stopped them all game. Don' be such a chicken shite Chiefs' fan.

Lol, wonder how much he got paid to come out and defend the shield. In no world was that even close to a hold, unless like someone else said you are going to call that on every play where the defense plays man. You bootlickers are having a hard time this morning.

Bro every single passing play a holding or pass interference could be technically called.. As a ref you don't let them play the entire game and then decide to throw a flag on a very ticky tack call.. There is no denying the ref changed the potential outcome of the game.. I am not saying the Eagles would of won, but they would of gotten the ball with close to 2 minutes left and a timeout down 3. I went back and quickly found 5 no calls that were just as bad if not worse. As a ref you swallow your whistle in that situation

Goodell called him immediately after the game and in a totally not at all threatening manner asked him how his wife and kids are doing.

Yep. If that is holding then you can't play man to man defense anymore. Little grabs like that happen all the time without being flagged.

I think there was holding, but not enough to throw a SB changing flag on it.

No one is disputing the fact that there was a jersey grab. However, I think what pisses off the casual fan is the fact that it something of a "blink and you'll miss it" kind of hold, that it occurred behind the line of scrimmage, and that the ball was nowhere close to being catchable (though this last one doesn't really matter in the case of defensive holding). That kind of holding happens on just about every pass play involving man coverage. The refs usually let it slide. However, this ref decided to make it THE play of the game. Virtually no one wants to see a Super Bowl decided by a penalty like that.

Funny how it use to be just the LSU fans that bought into the kooky football conspiracies, now it's pretty much the whole Rant when things don't turn out the way you want them to.

This is really what it comes down too. If you're a Chiefs fan, obviously you are going to take it; but you can't convince me it doesn't taint it in at least some small way. We were all deprived of an exciting ending to a pretty exciting Super Bowl because a ref interjected himself into a play where he didn't need to and shouldn't have.

Whenever someone picks out a single play like this I already know they have no idea about the 80+ other plays and if something similar happened during those.
Like how many other times were they held? Or how often were Eagles receivers held and no calls?
Aside from coaching staffs, I cannot imagine people bother reviewing every play - but they’ll pretend to be experts anyway.

That was about as unexciting as a super bowl winning FG can possibly get. That call completely deflated the game.

There was an article on the Rant recently about refs having post-game press conferences..... which I think is brilliant. In cases like this either the moment is to big for the ref; or he wants to interject and make the call. Both are bad. Make the default be "it's much easier defending a missed call than a bad call". The default, especially in situations like this, should be to swallow your whistle. Don't call something that hasn't been called all game. My $.02
