Here's the thing with the play clock issue. First, the ref generally gives a split second after it hits zero before throwing a flag, as the clock is technically not at zero when it says zero, since there are no tenths of seconds shown as they do in basketball. So, it's a judgement call and it was close enough to call it as such. Second, regarding other calls/non calls, they showed the blatant holding on Ford and Houston a time or two, and on the TD by the Donks to the right side with all the missed tackles where Hitchens got dragged into the endzone, there is a blatant block in the back on a defender that was about to plow the runner for a short gain. I was screaming at the tv at the time. I replayed it and sure enough, it was so blatant they absolutely should have called it but didn't. So, you can be passive agressive and say things like good win, despite the bad clock call, etc., but the truth is, it was a solid chiefs win.

The game last night was better than I thought it would be, quite honestly. I'm just glad Denver didn't win it with the play clock issue down the stretch - good lord, this place would be erupting. I'm not - and why? As I've said all along, things even out in the end. Did it annoy me? Most definitely. It is what it is.
Vance is a clown and I don't know why they didn't pound the rock more late in the game. Defensively, they brought a lot of great pressure - but Mahomes made some incredible plays. It was fun and painful to watch, but I can definitely appreciate him as a QB.
Give it a few days... we'll all be back to kicking each other in the junk. I can only imagine what this place was like during the first 3 quarters of the game though.
