I understand Pat’s frustration but you can’t call Shanahan a crybaby for simply pointing out to the ref that our tackles do the same thing and to make sure they call it both ways while also making excuses for Mahomes needing to be held back while crying to a ref after a legitimate call.

I think I didn't make my point clear.
Most of us were willing to entertain the possibility that the refs didn't give Toney a warning. And for me personally, I didn't see Toney check with the ref but I also noted at the time that the videos that were going around of this always showed right as it is about to be snapped. It is possible that Toney checked before what is shown in any of the videos. It would make sense since both Andy Reid and Patrick were super pissed about it.
All that being said, I still put the ultimate blame on Toney for being a moron. Kind of the same way as most of us put the blame on Dee Ford for jumping offsides in the AFC Championship of the 2018 season. I believe we learned after that incident that refs usually give you a warning when you're lining up offsides on defense, as well. in both cases, I put the majority of the blame on the players.
