Talk About Tennis 2.0

Will it heal in time for the next season? Meaning, the start.

As someoen with Pollard in a keeper league, I will be very closely keeping on eye on that!

^ While I was listening to the above something got in my eye...

And now Johnson is out too.
You simply can't win with so many casualties. With Elijah Mitchel out, you simply can't have CMC run the offense.

It's not over yet but this reminded me of Shakespeare's Richard the III:

"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse".

Someone on what's left of the Bird App said Mahomes doesn't look hurt.



This plus a shot of that painkiller they gave him last week the man is probably feeling no pain.

Now the Eagles were likely to win today regardless with just the incredibly unlucky hits that the Niners kept taking, but the refs helped that one along and affected the score to make sure that one was fully out of reach.

But the Bengals got thoroughly screwed with the officiating. The NFL only have themselves to blame for #NFLRigged trending. It was blatantly obvious they were doing any and everything to get the Mahomes and the Chiefs over the hump. I've never seen it less disguised than it was there tonight. Had NBA vibes tonight.

I especially liked the "That play didn't happen" (after Cincy had stopped them).
Well, Joe's windows is his whole career. Let's hope Cincy keeps the core, and adds a few players that will help Joe not get sacked 26 times per game.

By far the most egregious officiating call of the night and when #NFLRigged started trending more forcefully. Truly insane that they did that and it took so long to do it you know they made the call with the help of the VP of Officiating.

Well... the only real issue was how long it took them to actually announce it. The referee did run in to blow the play dead - they showed it on replay. We don't have to like how long it took, but the play "didn't" happen. I'd call that one embarrassing, but not "wrong."

The calls I thought were bad were the intentional grounding where they claimed no one was there, but as Nantz pointed out, Perine was right next to where ball landed... and a fairly soft PI on Apple.

Cincinnati did it themselves in the end ... in a finish eerily similar to the Pittsburgh playoff game a few years ago.

It sounds weird to say they are trying to get KC over the hump when they won the Super Bowl just three years ago. I've stopped paying attention to what is "trending" on twitter because no matter who would have won the other side would have been complaining about something.

No they didn't do it to themselves in the end. The refs did. There were blocks in the back on that punt return. At least two offensive holds on that Mahomes run that resulted in him getting that far down field that weren't flagged. And yes, the phantom intentional grounding call is another.

There were a mountain of officiating problems in this game and almost all of them favored the Chiefs.

I'm not a Bengals fan saying this, but a Steelers fan. It was egregiously one-sided officiating and it influenced the outcome of the game.
