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.

Yeah I think the game was overall officiated pretty well, most of the holding calls were legit I don't really remember any real tickytack calls but maybe there was 1 or 2, IDK.
I'm actually glad we have a real rival now. And I absolutely do not want to see the Bengals in the playoffs lol they're a real concern because it's coming down to 3 points and its decided on the last drive. Don't get me wrong the games are always good but there were several times I was thinking "I hate this game so much". These games give me grey hairs and take years off my life.
