I mean if you're the player what do you think is more likely, you get away with the same exact PI you got away with earlier or like Rice just forgets how to catch a ball? Catch or flag the outcome is the same but you're probably more likely to get away with the penalty than it is for Mahomes not to complete that pass, so your best option there is probably to just hope the ref doesn't throw the flag.

There are always going to be complainers about the refs from every fan base. That will never change. Idk about players I haven't heard/read anything there.
Penalties this year and in the AFCC game were legit. Penalty is a penalty, no complaining here. My issue is with the team having 7th round rookie and a young guy last year committing these boneheaded mistakes in end of the game critical situations. Personnel issues by the team having them in the game is my gripe.
Most complaining about refs I see from all fan bases are opponents O-line not being called for holding all game long or wanting pre-snap penalties. Egregious ones are called. But honestly, if they called every little holding throughout the game it was absolutely suck. There would be a penalty every play it would be awful to watch.
Due to the Chiefs' success, they are now getting the "Patriots treatment" from the nation about "refs cheating and favoring them". It comes with the territory. You gotta ignore that BS.
And I agree, I think it's turning into a real rivalry between these teams. These games are always tight and tense. Gotta love it.
Obviously, I'm hoping they get to play again in a meaningful playoff game this year. But, to even get there, assuming health, the Bengals have to "nut up" and make a consistent run or they may not even make it in the playoffs. We'll see.
