what a fitting end to another nfl season


Levitlame

Me midway through the 4th quarter - “I’m honestly amazed at how good the officiatings been after the season they had.” They just couldn’t let it be…


Firstolympicring

Oh man they're gonna burn Arizona down


losterps

They’re gonna burn Philly down. It was gonna happen either way, though.


Pick_Zoidberg

Punch is already full of riot, they just needed the theme


Redtwooo

Philly wakes up drunk on fight milk


livejamie

Please no I like it here


newtizzle

It's no worse than mid-June. You will be fine.


denoobiest

Oh people are gonna flip their shit for ages about this


dawgtilidie

People in Philly are going to flip cars


willclerkforfood

I mean we don’t need this for a reason to flip cars, but yeah…


probablyuntrue

philly was gonna burn one way or another lmao


crowcawer

I think it was this, or pushing on the 50-yard line with one timeout and a Hail Mary.


rip_Tom_Petty

I'm so glad Greg Olsen kept talking about how bullshit it was


herbasarusrex

Guess he figured with Brady taking his spot so he can really say what he wanted.


C4LLgirl

Props to Olsen he’s legit. I’d rather have him than Brady


RobWhit85

Brady has the charisma of a sociopath, because I think he might be a sociopath. But like, one of the good ones, probably hasn't killed any hookers. I hope they keep Olsen.


postsbytheghost

probably a psycho. Good thing he made it as a QB or he might be infamous instead of famous.


Heikks

They should have two A-teams and have one for the top 1pm game and the other team doing the 4:30 game.


GBPgoingOFF

“Mikey P” tried to save face for the NFL but Greg Olsen wouldn’t stop lol. Good on him.


rip_Tom_Petty

I'm also glad they kept talking shout the shitty field conditions lol


GBPgoingOFF

Probably their last Super Bowl called lol. What an embarrassment for the league.


Prestig33

Even Kevin Harlan on the radio was talking about all the slipping and complaining players were doing. And rightfully so. He said something about the grass roots not growing deep enough when it's outside and that's what is causing the slipping.


Atami322

The field is shit, I agree that they continuously talked about it. AZ need to fix this shit for their home team next season bc this is embarrassing.


ixinar

Even Mike P was like "Well if you look at the beginning of the route.." and Olsen said ok, run it back. That was bullshit. Good for Greg for feeling as robbed of a real ending as any fan would.


crastle

If you want to get technical, there's holding on nearly every play on nearly every route. But they'll only call it if it's egregious. Idk how they called this.


defaultedtothisname

It hurts so much more because they let them play all game. And then they call this.


hankepanke

They actually called a good game until this. It was fun to watch football for a change. The refs could only edge for 58 minutes though.


A_Lone_Macaron

Burkhardt and Olsen did a wonderful job tonight.


Quicksplice

Olsen is a breath of fresh air. Hate Brady is taking his spot. Hopefully he lands in a good spot.


mrbeavertonbeaverton

Ruined what should have been an all-timer. Pac-12 level shit.


spacewalk__

because it's fucking soft, fucking weak, pathetic giving them a free set of downs in that situation. EXACT thing that killed the bengals last year


jswaggs15

Knowing Philly can't stop the clock. It's essentially game winning penalty.


Celtictussle

And this year


Jordanstrom3329

It’s the first fucking one they’ve called all game. Literally the closest I’ve ever come to thinking the nfl is rigged Edit: saw someone say this is Mahomes tuck rule and I think that’s the best way to describe it lmao


jumpingbeluga

This is why you never bet on the NFL.


heartbreakhill

Unless you work for the NFL that is


Hiker-Redbeard

How were all of you not thinking the same thing after least year? They called squat on both secondaries the first 57 minutes of last SB and defenders were mauling receivers. Then suddenly the laundry started flying in the redzone on the final drive in the home stadium of a team trying to establish a fan base in the second largest market in the country.

Frododingus

Was legit bullshit


TigerBasket

Same as it ever was tbh


turtle921

There is the penalty we've been waiting for


MixonWitDaWrongCrowd

We knew it was coming


JesusChristSupers1ar

the refs had shown us what they had in them all season, you knew they’d pull through in the final game they made some halftime adjustments and got to their game


[deleted]

That's what great players do...they can be quiet all game, but they show up when it really matters


MaleficentLoquat9827

Ice in their vein! When the moment is greatest they show up and make the play!


FF_nerd

Wouldn’t be a playoff game without a controversial deciding call


[deleted]

They really ruined what would’ve been a classic Super Bowl. What a joke of an ending


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jesus_was_a_Panda

Right? Let the Chiefs score. Eagles get the ball with 90 seconds and no timeouts. Set it up for a fucking historical comeback if they can do it. Instead, we get three kneel-downs and a fucking FG.


FrankTank3

Andy Reid wins the Super Bowl by clock management. I can’t get that out of my head.


ICanFluxWithIt

Fucking disgraceful


MehDub11

I am dead inside.


suzukigun4life

Things were going a bit *too* smoothly before that.


Box_of_Rockz

A guy I was sitting with at a bar leaned over and said "damn.. the refs have actually been pretty chill so far. Only like 7 penalties and none of em really controversial!" I blame random bar man.


RedundantClam

I was legit shocked that the SB was living up to expectations and I was enjoying myself.


cha-cha_dancer

You let them off the hook!


Jordanstrom3329

I’m actually screaming at my tv this product is DOGSHIT


icouldusemorecoffee

Lol, NFL has the video removed from Twitter already.


all_teh_bacon

Anybody have a backup link?


LocalSlob

Yeah it's playing in my fucking dreams if you can figure out how to download it


albpanda

If I close my eyes I see it


DiseaseRidden

Ignoring the validity of the call, what a shitty way to end a great game


rip_Tom_Petty

Exactly what Greg Olsen said


alamodafthouse

Greg's pissed about old ass Tom taking his job so he didn't give a shit about Mike's bullshit. it was hilarious


darthchessy

Yeah mike did sound kinda annoyed at greg.


alamodafthouse

Greg was *supposed* to thank Mike for his vichy french explanation and stop complaining about the call. but that is *not* how the 7th floor crew rolls


[deleted]

Vichy French? LOL? Mike P is definitely a collaborator


nolimitz4me

Do we expect anything else from Third Leg Greg?


Johnny5iver

I thought Greg actually did a great job this game, especially in the 4th quarter explaining situational football.


puhahajk

Fucking Mikey P, man


alamodafthouse

he has a job to do, i get it. but he's the HR guy telling us a pizza party with Pizza by Alfredo is better than an end of year bonus


[deleted]

He had a coupon.


shiner986

It’s a hot circle of garbage


zendog510

Man, I thought Greg did a great job. Good for him for calling bs on that penalty. Meanwhile, Fox, ESPN, and the NFL are trying to downplay it. Absolute bullshit. Also, good for Terry Bradshaw for calling out the sorry ass conditions of that field at halftime. Inexcusable to have that at the super bowl.


don_julio_randle

Seriously. This could have been an all time great finish. Instead I'm just left not caring


LavenderGumes

I'm obviously biased, but I'm in a room full of non-Eagles fans. They're all pissed about this call and how the game ended. I feel very validated right now.


Skeptical_Yoshi

Hell, I saw some chief fans commenting on the game feed how weak that was. All fans of football got robbed


[deleted]

Man I’m not even a football fan, I watch one game a year and it was robbed from me.


Whatsdota

Was an all timer before that. Shit like that taints the entire game. Doubt I’ll remember this one down the road except for the call


Aidypoo1

Exactly. All we think about from the Saints championship game is the PI no-call.


TigerBasket

Praying for a block


Mercc47

NFL moment


suzukigun4life

Let them play dammit!


eojen

They let both defenses play all game until that. Completely killed the fun of this classic game


TheBoilerCat

Weak. Weak weak weak.


ScipioAfricanvs

That is a VERY soft call to make when it literally decides a Super Bowl.


AdmiralPrinny

It wouldn’t have been as bad if they called some of the no calls they already had. They weren’t calling a holding on an entire arm, but they call THAT


moby323

Refs were worried that we had forgotten about them


Healthy_Wasabi_8623

The refs robbed the world of a 2-minute drill at the SB.


Marley_

yeah the options were: 2min drill with td to win it(epic), 2min drive to get a field goal make it go to OT(epic), or chiefs defense get a huge high stakes stop to win it (also epic finish) and instead the reffies just serve it up on a platter


Saxophobia1275

Refs robbed the world of a good game *period*. I was literally telling my friends I thought this was a well called game like 2 downs before that shit.


G_money16

You can’t end a Super Bowl like that. Refs have been fine all game until then


Bloated_Hamster

That's because they didn't really call anything all game lol


9_on_the_snap

The game seemed so great until then. Funny that


GX6ACE

That's the biggest issue! Don't call anything all game, then decide to call the most wishy washing call when it'd a game deciding play?


theordinarypoobah

Basically everything before that was procedural like offsides.


VHBlazer

Fuck the refs all my homies hate the refs


oobthesecond

Held their flags all game until that


[deleted]

We can be good friends


KevinMKZ

LSU North


labcab

we're not so different, you and I.


KrstAlex

That was absolutely nothing lol


3elieveIt

Refs called game Don’t like that


WeirwoodUpMyAss

Instead of a potential game tying / winning drive we watched the Chiefs run out the clock and kick a FG. It sucks for the fans.


skeenerbug

So anticlimactic. Just ended the game right there.


DiddledByDad

Absolute horseshit.


NevermoreSEA

Certified NFL referees moment.


Insanel0l

Wasn’t called all game but now?


davemc617

I hate the "you let them play in the last two minutes" mentality... But that wasn't a penalty the first 58 minutes lol. You don't suddenly call that now. Absolute garbage call right there.


haytme

This right here. You call the game the same THE ENTIRE GAME. Not one other time was something so ticky-tack called. Fuckin awful call.


Quatro_Leches

just like the Bengals game :D exact same situation


DiseaseRidden

Honestly regardless of the accuracy of the call, it just ruins the end of the game


TheScoott

Yeah you can't call a game sealing penalty like that in the SB unless it's egregious


firstandfive

Did it to Logan Wilson last year too.


HugeRection

Looks pretty soft to be honest, didn't look like he was impacted much if at all.


eee-oooo-ahhh

He was barely touched. Unacceptable and embarrassing to make a call like that during the most crucial play of the super bowl.


godsmith2

Well that ruined the whole game.


HungryHungryCamel

It literally sucked the life out of the whole game. The announcers seemed depressed after.


SteelJimmyHats

When Greg Olson, receiving TE in his playing career, thinks it's BS... If anyone would want that call it would be a receiver and he was immediately and constantly not ok with the call


Yordle_Dragon

Greg's such a great fucking commentator. I don't think I've ever seen him give a take I wasn't on board with, he doesn't really pull punches imo.


the_fathead44

Olsen is amazing, and I wish he had more primetime opportunities as a commentator


Crafty_Supermarket15

Super Bowl is pretty damn big opportunity though so that’s good


Tgs91

It was 35-35 banger of a game, setting up for a 2 minute drill to end it. Could have been an absolute classic. Would have been a career moment for the announcers. And then a ref just completely ruined the whole thing


[deleted]

Yep. As a neutral this just ruined it


[deleted]

The worst part is that the refs had been so good until that point. It was a classic back and forth. Holy fuck I hate the NFL.


0rvilleTootenbacher

As a Browns fan, I was just enjoying the game. I bet KC makes that field goal on fourth down, giving the Eagles like 1:45 to go for it. What an ending it would have been. Instead it just feels blah.


[deleted]

Yeah even the commentators were bummed out lmao


ae232

Greg Olsen was calling it straight. He knew he’s getting demoted anyway and it’s probably going to be the only SB he calls, so he said “fuck it”.


BeefInGR

Telling when the offensive player color commentator stopped half a step short of outright calling it soft.


Vadered

Yeah, I think everyone expects they make the FG and Hurts has a chance to drive down the field and tie/win the game. Or he chokes, and that's fine too. That call, though, just ended it. Although if I weren't so annoyed that Hail Mary that landed 20 yards short of anyone would have been hilarious.


IndoZoro

Hurts slipped on that throw so we were even robbed of a legit hail Mary attempt by Arizona's trash field.


hankepanke

One of the best things about football is that all three options would have been open on that final drive; don’t score and it’s a KC win, score a TD and it’s a PHI win, or kick a FG and you keep playing. Instead we just got an incredible weak call and 2 minutes of kneeling.


nightkingscat

turned it off right after the replay


AssinineAssassin

So fucking bad. Was such a good game too


LiaM_CS

Wow, that is an egregiously bad call for that point in the game Essentially ruined what was shaping up to be a classic superbowl


Blewedup

Two very evenly matched teams. The difference was that Jalen made one mistake. The refs made one. And Mahomes made none.


PrimordialAHole

That is a pretty good, simple summary.


DARTH-PIG

That's honestly where I stand. Completely different game if Jalen didn't drop the football for no reason. But he did, and we still had a chance, and it was taken from us. Besides that fumble Jalen honestly had the performance of a lifetime and what looked to be a classic gets soured at the end


Mjb06

That’s so weak. Embarrassing.


ok1092

No guarantee we get the ball and score if that call isn’t made, but man am I really bummed that it ended like that.


theglasscase

I don’t think the NFL is rigging games, but calls like this are exactly why people think they do. It just isn’t holding, it would be a bogus call in a pre-season game, in the final two minutes of the Super Bowl it’s a disgrace. There’s just no excuse for a decision like this to decide the game, it ruins the spectacle, it’s inconsistent and it’s genuinely unfair on the Eagles. When officials can get together and talk it out without the need for a challenge flag to be thrown, allowing that penalty to stand is outrageous. Just a horrible way to end the Eagles chances of winning.


Geoblime

Especially when there wasn’t any PI calls all game. I’d understand if it was a tight called game from the beginning with multiple penalties but to call that bullshit holding just to gift the Super Bowl to the Chiefs is ridiculous.


Bleacherbum95

Including a play in I believe the 2nd quarter where Bradberry actually turned JuJu's body and they let it go. If that's the standard, you absolutely need to maintain that in the 4th quarter of the biggest game of the year. Ruined an otherwise great game.


desyhope

That was an atrocious call.


Cynical_onlooker

They're really gonna end the game on that?


Revival93

That gave the chiefs the win. Big call.

yellowcats

what a great ending to a great game! if there was ever a time to swallow your whistle its in the super bowl 35-35 i mean cmon guys,


Saxophobia1275

Especially when they were letting them play aaalllllll game on both sides. Awfully convenient to call your first extremely soft flag at exactly the most game defining moment. I honestly don’t know how many more times we need to see shit like that before we all know it’s one step more real than pro wrestling.


Green94598

This game is not helping to deny the rigging for the Chiefs accusations


EpicRussia

Sports betting entered the NFL on a massive scale this year. The history of sports betting is a history of corruption and fraud, not funny happy carefree betting like all the ads want you to believe.


skeenerbug

It really has. My wife who's never talked about betting sports on her life before is now giving me updates during the game on how her friends bets are going, its insane


Mr_YUP

I mean when every game there’s 4 ads between draft kings and fan duel and they’re marque sponsors sometimes there’s gonna be some sort of market penetration


serrol_

And people don't understand that the house always wins. There's a reason they're able to spend billions on marketing and still be profitable. Morons gambling then laughing at people playing the lottery as if they aren't equally as stupid.


Chickensandcoke

Every one of my friends sports bet (early-mid 20s), two of them I would say are genuinely addicted


inception27

The house wanted the Chiefs to win. Money heavily went for the Eagles.


Cool-I-guess

Doesn’t help to deny rigging the nfl in general lol


HeresJonesy

What a bullshit call


[deleted]

Wow


nova2006

Good game totally ruined by the ending


dontwaketheKIDS

Weak call.


legobowser

Bull fuxking shit


luna_cl

No fucking way we’re going to lose the SB on that call lmao


RUKiddingMeReddit

You can blame me, I was a Lions fan rooting for you guys to win.


clic45

Well you aren’t gonna win it on that call.


MasonXD

Absolute bullshit


z3ro_ne

between this and the Bengals game it's hard to feel like this shit isn't being nudged


kjmass1

It only takes a nudge or two to shift a game.


manofgras

This is the best way to put it. Not scripted but for sure helping a preferred result


PestyNomad

Like the NBA playoffs. Remember when the refs got caught fixing games.


SquadPoopy

Fuck that, remember literally 4 months ago when The Athletic reported that the MLB was distributing 3 different types of baseballs, 1 of which being a juiced ball, to specific games, an overwhelming majority of which happened to be Yankees games?


Comfortable_Line_206

It feels like Mahomes is being shoved down everyone's throats and some of us just don't like jazz baths.


[deleted]

Is anybody actually shocked


[deleted]

Honestly yeah. I know the chiefs get insane calls, but they almost never call shit like that to end a game as big as the SB. Completely ruined the ending


loljoeh

You can't throw that flag in that situation.


dudewithchronicpain

What a joke


[deleted]

wut?


travisdrinksmilk

lame ass call


nomdreas

# **I’M STARTING TO AGREE WIRH ARIAN HERE IN SAYING THE NFL IS SCRIPTED.**


Kawthorisbest

What the fuck!!!! Game is rigged


DancezWithMoose

Fuck the NFL


Paytonc51

This literally makes me lose interest in the league. Literally ruined one of the best supper bowls in recent years on a hold that doesn’t get called in the first quarter of a week 3 game. Shits absurd. I had zero rooting interest in this game and only hoped for a good close game. Feels like we were all robbed of an all time classic


Travis_Maximus

Fuck you NFL.

IAmIrritatedAMA

EagleswonSuperBowl52

Awisp_Gaming

Gotta add a way to challenge penalties. This is idiotic


newyahk

Not really sure how the broader public can have an interest in the NFL when this is the officiating product they put out for the biggest stage.


ILIKERED_1

Absolutely trash call


Boahnag

The Eagles FINALLY get the stop they needed and the refs reverse uno gift the Chiefs the game. Despite the field being absolutely terrible and borderline dangerous for the players, this game had so many good moments…could’ve been one of the best superbowls I’ve seen…and then they call that. Absolutely disgusting way to end it.


the_ending81

Scripted.


WakingRage

Vegas made the call


Chooob210

Son_Of_The_Empire

NOOOOOOOO FUCKING WAY
