a.) it was the correct call, and
b.) you've been on the good side of some ****ing doozies in the last few years
There's more going on than just frustration. There has to be. There were a lot of people that hated Mahomes and the Chiefs simply because we've been dominant for a half-decade - but now there are an entirely new set of folks that saw *gestures wildly* whatever the **** that tantrum was last night, along with the comments to Josh Allen and see him and the team in a completely new light, and it's one of an ugly, loser mentality.
Mahomes hurt his reputation last night, and it's kinda sad to watch play out.
I hope they can channel this negative energy into positive emotion for the stretch run, because if they don't it's gonna get ugly(ier) very quickly.

It’s a very very bad look for him. I also hope he comes to his senses and apologizes. He has way too much goodwill for people to hang this on him.
At the same time I will never hate that the dude after a few Super Bowl still hates losing. Despises it. I’d rather see this fire than Justin Herbert or Lamar moping on the sidelines. And even if it’s catty to go after the refs and you kind of want to see him lay into his own guys, it shows tremendous character that with the gazillion softballs where everyone would totally understand him throwing teammates under the bus he refuses to.
What I’m more upset about is that the team did this to him. His reputation was already slipping. We had finally cemented his place as a consensus #1 where even his biggest haters had to admit he was easily the best. And now people are watching all these prime time games and wondering what the hype is. And you have to think that’s eating at him too.
