Those penalty/yardage #’s don’t take into account the fact that the Chiefs lost a 50 yard TD, another TD that led to a FG instead, and another 40-50 yard play that would’ve set them up for another TD.
The “play in the picture” would’ve put the Chiefs inside the 10 with a chance to score a TD. I wasn’t implying it would’ve been automatic, but it’s more likely than not that it took 7 off the board.
So again, it’s not about yardage, it’s about points. I’m not putting all of the blame on the refs, or saying it’s a conspiracy theory. But how anybody can deny that the officiating was one-sided and had too much of an impact on the game is beyond me.

I understand your take on the penalties.
I'm thinking the refs don't take into consideration throwing a flag or not throwing a flag if it's a 50 yard bomb TD vs a 7 yard gain.
We could go round and round on this but like I said I see your take on the game. Trust me I've seen plenty of crap penalties as the Raiders are the most penalized team in the past 30 years.
