Your problem is that you are used to getting ALL the calls now.

Getting all the calls? Like in the AFCC vs the Patriots? Or vs Houston in the regular season last year?
There have been times that it seemed the Chiefs benefited from officiating, but it was generally in games in which it didn't really matter. Like the aforementioned Raiders game with the a big penalty disparity. But officiating played a major role in keeping them out of the SB two years ago and in the Houston loss last year, and nearly cost them a win vs Pittsburgh the year before. Just as a few examples. The only time I even remember a fanbase complaining that the refs won a game for the Chiefs (aside from some 49ers fans who thought that the call on Kittle in the first half cost them the SB) was in Foxboro last year, and the Patriots actually had a large penalty disparity in their favor. They just focused on a call or two near the end of the game like their whiny ass fans do.
If you want to argue that the Chiefs had as many calls go their way as the Raiders in this game, that may be possible, but the Raiders didn't have 18 points taken away. In fact, they didn't have 0. It's a joke to say the Chiefs have nothing to complain about.
That said, shit happens. The occasional loss is expected. This will just increase the intensity in the rematch, and I have no doubt that KC will depants the Raiders in primetime in Vegas.
