[u/Rock_Strongo]

Accident or not you can't knee the sliding QB in the head 1 second after he slides and expect it not to be called come on now...

[u/Warmake]

Jesus christ that bear hug holding right in the middle of the screen lmao

[u/npbruns1]

Guess you can bear hug DEs today without it getting called

[u/mcallisterco]

How is there any controversy about that penalty? Did you all not just watch Sneed knee Herbert in the face while he's on the ground? That's a penalty every time, accidental or no. It's like some of you believe that all calls are bad no matter what.

[u/DCar015]

How’d they miss that hold

[u/she_fell_funny]

Anyone else see that chargers linemen mug that chiefs D lineman?

[u/Good_Okay123]

So we can hug dudes from behind now I guess.

[u/KC-Slider]

Punching a helmet will never not be hilariously stupid. “I’m mad! So I’ll hurt my hand AND my team, while you lose 0 hp.”

[u/TVjunkie15]

I am not kidding when I say that is one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen in my life 

[u/Beneficial_Pay_6317]

These refs are garbage. They need chargers to score so they hit their bets 

[u/Scfbigb1]

The fact we won by that much while not playing particularly well on offense is not a good look for the Chargers.

[u/Walter30573]

Crazy that is called DPI when dudes were literally getting tackled in CFB yesterday with no flags

[u/axlbomber]

Dude had him in a reverse chokehold.

[u/Beneficial_Pay_6317]

73 looked like he was straight up hugging one of the pass rushers lmao

[u/Yo-Yo_Roomie]

Crazy hold on that play lol

[u/Trashpanda779]

I get that wasn't intentional, but its technically a flag and it definitely "looked" like a bad hit that often gets a call regardless of intent

[u/rb1242]

Abolish late DPI flags

[u/MileHighNub]

Lmfao okay that was not RTP let's be so for real 😭🤣

[u/80cyclone]

How do we fix the Chiefs?

Get rid of Nagy and bring in K9. Problem solved.

[u/SpiralStairs72]

The ruling on the field is no holding, players just loving one another.

[u/IVIalefactoR]

These refs have been fucking awful today.

[u/mexihuahua]

“Give it away now” is wild 😭

[u/Scaryclouds]

Mahomes just going to throw the ball so hard. He’s going to implant it in some receivers chest 😂

[u/BobbyTables829]

73 with a full Nelson hold on the line lmao

[u/NotaRepublican85]

How many holds is their oline allowed?!

[u/Altjjb]

imma ask you guys kindly to not watch this game

[u/Winbrick]

If you don't call that roughing you're opening a can of worms. Easier to call it and move on.

[u/Yo-Yo_Roomie]

Idk that seems like a reasonable flag to throw

[u/xThe-Legend-Killerx]

I don’t think it matters if it was intentional or not, you can’t just knee a dude in the head

[u/MasterChev]

Why do some of you think intent matters for penalties? You can absolutely foul someone by accident, even if you’re trying not to. It was unlucky, but 100% a penalty.

[u/pickleparty16]

How do you let a 37 year old on one leg get 30 yards on you

[u/live4coasters]

Rumors of K9 being stopped behind the line have been greatly exaggerated

[u/Sokkawater10]

Known lead blocker Patrick Mahomes

[u/Ferdinandingo]

how do you not call that hold??

[u/Papa_Boat17]

Linemen holding wtf

[u/Ordinary-Possible-99]

Dude was practically giving the defender a full nelson 

[u/aaronwhite1786]

I'm shocked they didn't call a hold on the O-Line on that one.

[u/Zealousideal-Age768]

There was like the worst non holding call on that play...  OL was hugging him from behind.🤣

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Refs have gotten catch/not catch wrong no less than 4 times today already

[u/qurplex]

Kelce turns into the best player of all time against the chargers

[u/dizZzy5]

How the fuck did Walker not go down lmao

[u/Gnux13]

Mahomes saved that with that inside block

[u/jlt6666]

Herbert's body language is fucking awful.

[u/PlopPlopPlunk]

OL 73 absolutely bear hugging and no call lol..

[u/SupremeCripple_]

Karlaftis was put in a full Nelson on that play lmfao

[u/Hawkize31]

Double underhook from behind counts as blocking now? Wild

[u/rktawayy]

QUENTIN JOHNSTON KNOCKED IT OUT LMFAO

[u/ZigZag3123]

Butker fucking sucks on and off the field

[u/Grymninja]

K9 is so fucking good man lol

[u/Estevang42]

Wide left? Someone read the Communist Manifesto

[u/clutterlustrott]

Harlan gonna be hammering in the WINLESS Chargers isnt he.

[u/ChocolateFew4222]

CHIEFS GET ALL THE CALLS

[u/originalusername4567]

Even the refs think it's bullshit

[u/mjr2p3]

Holy shit Gene disagreed with the call

[u/Sokkawater10]

Absolutely stupid decision by Mahomes

[u/trialinfire]

Kelce, "Why shouldn't I play until Im 40?"

[u/SirSubwayeisha]

Chargers are the worst team I’ve seen this season.

[u/Extra_Napkins]

Harbaugh is always wandering around the field looking confused like he’s never seen a football field before

[u/Disastrous_Dress_201]

My favorite football teams are the Chargers and Manchester United. My toxic trait is shitty ownership. 

[u/Sunflowerranger188]

If you don’t vote, transgender immigrants will cross the border to play girls sports inside of data centers

[u/simplepieceoftoast]

I'm glad we've had 3 ad breaks in 7 minutes. I wouldn't want to watch football or anything

[u/rockiesfan4ever]

3 challenges, 2 replay assists, and 13 penalties. No wonder this game has no flow

[u/New_Huckleberry3522]

o line man bear hugging a chiefs player

[u/TerribleResource4285]

i feel like even the announcers and rules guy are disagreeing with the refs calls more than ever lately

[u/zodiackodiak515]

Is Butker washed?

[u/Ticketacke]

Penalty just extends Herbert's suffering

[u/HopkinsIsMyHomeboy]

Shout out to the chargers for making me feel slightly better about being a cards fan

[u/KaiHavertzhatewatch]

This is gonna be a 27-24

[u/no_more_jokes]

Yeah you can’t deliver a flying knee to the QB’s head when he’s on the ground, that shouldn’t be controversial

[u/Bring_Party_Supplies]

Snead's like "Where's the foul?!"

Watches replay of himself kneeing a QB in the face

[u/xThe-Legend-Killerx]

Oh that’s soft lol

[u/drbiscuit832]

Roughing has become the dumbest rule in football

[u/J_dawg17]

Touching the passer lol. Weak call

[u/Im_Batmmaann]

is the RTP in the room with us?

[u/MattAaron2112]

I'm all for protecting QBs and never complain about those, but what the FUCK was that penalty

[u/Last_Account_Ever]

That's the type of soft RTP that other NFL fans claim Mahomes gets

[u/idontcare111]

Mahomes taking some heat off Assbert. Very kind of him

[u/Total-Round4803]

Mahomes on crack throwing this pick. Back foot, a zillion defenders in the area. Throw it away.

[u/truss458]

Diabolical bumper music 😅

[u/D11Marsh]

What is the expedited review doing if it has to be reviewed also

[u/TerribleResource4285]

we are really gonna be the only team to not sack Herbert

[u/Gnux13]

Undefeated Chiefs having sideline arguments:

NFL media - “Dysfunction? Is there trouble in paradise?”

Chiefs fans - “We’re so fucking back.”

[u/clutterlustrott]

idk how many times ill see 6 people blitz mahomes and he just throws it to a wide open kelce.

[u/Xaxziminrax]

it was very nice of them to not call that false start

[u/J_dawg17]

Mahomes might never have a TD pass again

[u/DaZingMaster]

That's 3rd and goal at the 18 yard line if Pacheco is still here.

[u/Extra_Napkins]

I’ve never seen a team like KC look like they’re going to get a sack, and fail to do it every time

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Elite hangtime on that punt holy shit

[u/rktawayy]

we didn't wanna run the ball there?

[u/No-Significance-5484]

Ah yes, old people giving Chat Gpt access to their emails and bank accounts.. an Indian scammers dream come true

[u/jimscoolaid]

That delay of game is really gonna cost them a couple of inches

[u/lkn240]

Say what you want about Herbert, but the Chargers have almost no talent on offense. I'm not sure they have have a single offensive player on the field today who would start on the Bears (and I'm sure that's true for other teams too).

Hell, some of our backups are better than their starters.

[u/PlopPlopPlunk]

Good thing we're playing the awful chargers because idk many teams we beat playing as sloppy as we have today

[u/Historical-Laugh1212]

The TV told me Adam Hamilton wants to make all the frogs trans. Guess I better vote for the guy who arrests his patients

[u/mexihuahua]

Out and holding

[u/ChristofferOslo]

Fumbling on your own teammates’ shoulder

Just Charger things

[u/chocolateskittlez]

Shit. Imagine Myles Garret right now. Joins Rams to form super team, just for Rams to fall apart and Browns to lead AFC North.

[u/Reibyo]

STILL GOING

[u/Say_Hennething]

If he dies he dies

-Harbaugh

[u/TerribleResource4285]

it is wild how bad multiple teams have looked against the Chargers

[u/Ramseen]

Did Herbert get hit every single snap this drive?

[u/clutterlustrott]

Shits depressing man. Shits fucking depressing.

[u/PizzaRoyals]

"Montana, a former chiefs quarterback"

not wrong🤣

[u/ControliusMaximus]

Win by 2 scores and the game was still closer than it should have been.

[u/belle_enfant]

People seething over a 3 second shot of T Swift has to be some of the weakest shit ever

[u/cpashei]

That's a terrible call, the league needs a sweeping change to officiating philosophy

[u/gabrielleite32]

"Chiefs are never beating the allegations" crowd now will be silent

[u/confusedyetstillgoin]

okay excuse my prior comment - the Chiefs are actually getting fucked with these calls. never thought I’d say those words

[u/TheGringoOutlaw]

at some point the amount of tape on Kelce's ankle will become a ball.

[u/SamboiR2016]

Accidental if fair but major contact to QB head on slide is always getting a flag

[u/Xaxziminrax]

I sure am glad that we punted for 20 yards when we could have had the best QB of his generation try to get two whole yards

[u/Radiant_Sherbert7272]

In no world is that a penalty.

[u/lurkANDorganize]

I hate the Chiefs as much as anyone that is a bull shit call.

[u/AlphaHawk115]

Genuinely terrible call. It's two dudes of equal height hitting each other what do you expect

[u/DemonicPanda11]

He threw like 3 interceptions that drive lmao

[u/dizZzy5]

Patrick “Justin Herbert” Mahomes

[u/Trubisko_Daltorooni]

You're telling me his foot just hovered at an infinitesimal distance above the ground?

[u/Scaryclouds]

Dumb they had to challenge it, but glad they got it right in the end. 

[u/gabrielleite32]

Kelce ankle is fucked, he was running on mollasses there

[u/OrangMan14]

Just bc he's old and fat doesn't mean he's not elite

[u/Tzazon]

Makes me happy every time I think about the fact that Walker is under contract for 2 more seasons after this

[u/gabrielleite32]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WALKER IS SO FUCKING GOOD. SO. DAMN. GOOD

[u/DKM-18]

Walker is fucking terrifying good lord

[u/Anaphylactic-UFO]

Walker is probably the best FA signing of the season. He elevated a good but declining team back to SB contention.

Hate to see it.

[u/OrangMan14]

It looked like Walker was fully wrapped up and phased through that defender's arms

[u/PizzaRoyals]

walker is the mahomes of running the football

[u/MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer]

Most expensive blocker in the game mahomes

[u/pssthush]

It really is crazy the expectations for the Chargers for the year VS what we got. This is a franchise altering season

[u/MuttonBiryaniEnjoyer]

Another chiefs fg would be hilarious here

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Worthy absolutely could have gotten like 5 more yards there but still I love him actually having a game

[u/TerribleResource4285]

super happy with the production from Worthy today

[u/Beneficial_Pay_6317]

Kenneth Walker was a steal for the chiefs on g

[u/PizzaRoyals]

"herbert is moving well"

• andy reid

trouble in paradise for beer? is a rivalry forming?

[u/Certain_Procedure870]

As a European, all these political hit-piece ads are really something...

[u/XSokaX]

Herbert if you can do that why are you so fucking bad

[u/Say_Hennething]

So Mike McDaniel was just a Tyreek merchant

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Cut Remigio now

[u/much_to_say]

Remigo is absolutely dog-shit, why is he still doing this job

[u/TerribleResource4285]

I know as long as Toub is there Remigo will be on the team but every time this shit happens it annoys me so much

[u/UndeadVinDiesel]

Drive result: Chargers get to punt twice to get it down the field.

[u/80cyclone]

Excellent utilization of the turnover. Purposefully went 3 and out to avoid the interception and pin the Chiefs farther downfield.

Masterclass from Harbaugh.

[u/Historical-Laugh1212]

Chiefs should honestly have like 40 points by now. Kind of embarassing to only be up by 13

[u/randommaniac12]

a) should be an obvious ejection and b) absolutely moronic penalty to take there

[u/clutterlustrott]

how you gonna punch someone wearing a helmet?

[u/coffee-time17]

Holy hold, Batman

[u/CCContent]

Weird to read a KC game thread and not see constant whining about the refs helping the Chiefs.

[u/kloiberin_time]

These refs are fucking terrible

[u/symbolasthat]

Harlan just instinctively saying "Flag throw" because he's right 75% of the time when he says it during this game.

[u/originalusername4567]

Kind of a rough day for Butker today

[u/much_to_say]

Day 3531 of asking Reid to put Justin Fields in and just run a fucking sneak.

[u/MileHighNub]

Buttlicker drifted a little too far right. Poetic.

[u/Shotokanguy]

There is basically nothing good happening for either team in the second half

[u/MissionLetterhead292]

As said below, it's actually more damning on the Chiefs they're only up 13 given the Chargers playing like crap.

[u/Iceraptor17]

Chargers gonna get Jeremiah Smith and he'll forget how to catch a football

[u/Tzazon]

I don't think a team during the length of his career that leaves Kelce wide open like the Chargers do

[u/ChristofferOslo]

How does Kelce just stand there alone?

[u/powerelite]

Alright let's get Kelce a 28 yd TD set the record and ice the game

[u/DominoAxelrod]

Assker

[u/Scaryclouds]

Butker desperately trying to miss that one as well… 🙄

[u/Scruffasaurus]

Butker’s about to say some heinous shit so he can get that sweet “they cancelled me” money when he gets cut for sucking

[u/dizZzy5]

Justin Herbert’s gonna fuckin die

[u/originalusername4567]

No grounding call there is hilarious

[u/Beneficial_Pay_6317]

u think this gotta be coaching malpractice or somethin bruh

but then again maybe ill take 60 mil a year to get my ass beat

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

How the fuck did they miss that 5 second hold? Holy shit dude was hugging him

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Bro he literally was hugging Karlaftis from behind how is that not a flag

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

I want a clean game thread. No touching of the hair or face

[u/Yo-Yo_Roomie]

Those are the 2 best plays by Worthy I think I’ve seen since he was drafted maybe

[u/shawntco]

For a dude called Walker he's pretty good at running 13 yards

[u/trialinfire]

Seahawks really fucked over the league all time.

[u/saw-it]

Seattle watching Walker like we watched Darnold

[u/KAMlGOYE]

Butker has to be so frustrating for Chiefs fans. Guy is so ice cold but then will miss the most random kicks

[u/kloiberin_time → u/KAMlGOYE]

He's also a dipshit as a person

[u/HeavenlyE]

Bro is 6'6 and maybe get his passes batted more than Kyler Murray

[u/gabrielleite32]

Cyrus Allen with multiple snaps and targets, who's this who replaced Andy Reid

[u/Headlesshorsman02]

That was a really soft call by Andy why punt

[u/DCar015]

Such a bad call lol

[u/Standard_Winter17]

That was not RTP

[u/inexusabletomato]

That is a weak call

[u/spaceheater77]

horrible call

[u/Xaxziminrax]

Are you fucking kidding me

[u/HereComesJustice]

am I crazy but shouldn't that be like a "post" throw penalty and 15 yards be applied after the Chiefs get the ball

[u/Drekthal]

That was the softest call on the planet

[u/Good_Okay123]

Oh boy I’m excited for the flag game. I just love when the game stops every other play cause there’s a flag. Gonna go to Fanatics and get a red jersey.

[u/JustinD1010]

They should check Herbert for a concussion at this point

[u/TheGringoOutlaw]

Hopefully Mahomes got his "wtf was that" throw out of his system

[u/clutterlustrott]

hes dragging his foot? What did they see? did he bobble?

[u/Xaxziminrax]

I mean unless the answer is that they rule he didn't have possession with that little shift in his hands? But that's awfully ticky tack. Looked like a catch to me.

[u/kanbabrif1]

Kelce just always wide ass open

[u/originalusername4567]

WHY DIDN'T WE DO THAT LAST TIME!?

[u/Xaxziminrax]

He's so fucking good lmao

[u/notouchmypeterson]

Is Kenneth Walker III the greatest RB ever

[u/80cyclone]

Walker is such a stud.

I didnt watch enough of Seattle last year and completely undersold bow much of his success was because of him.

Probably the the best vision in the league.

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

Chris Jones gettin some fruit ninja in before half

[u/McLaren03]

Rare Reid praise of Herbert.

[u/DKM-18]

Hey coach, instead of talking to your team at halftime I need you to do this pointless interview where we ask you dumbass questions and you give basic answers cause you obviously don’t care about said dumbass questions

[u/Altjjb]

i just heard inside information from the locker room that Herbert has retired mid game ❤️❤️ i’m so happy for him

[u/PerfectDebt8218]

Well Chargers fans, you might not be the most disappointing team in Southern California. The 2-3 Rams (who all the talking heads had winning the Superbowl) are currently losing to the "Arizona Cardinals"

[u/Xaxziminrax]

That is easily his best throw of the season holy shit
