  1. Kind of ticky-tacky, looks like it could've gone either way IMHO. Holding, blatant or otherwise, happens how often throughout football games, it's all a matter of what they want to call and what they want to let slide. Congrats to the Chiefs and props to both them and the Eagles for one of the more competitive Super Bowls there's ever been.

  2. Bruh anyone complaining about the call after bradberry said he held is ridiculous. He admitted to it and got away with holds earlier in the game. You can’t visit the well too many times without it drying up.

  3. Perna nobody is asking if the ball is catchable because on holding calls the ball doesn’t have to be catchable at all. Mahomes could’ve thrown the ball into the stands and it would still be a hold

  4. Thing is we‘ll never know if the Eagles would’ve still lost.
    Cause this bs call robbed the Eagles the opportunity to tie it.
    Therefore it doesn’t matter if the chiefs were better or not in the 2nd half. Eagles did not get the opportunity and that is the main concern for most people

  5. Ju Ju beat Bradberry, a better throw would put up 6. This holding call is way worst than last years super bowl game. At least Cincy had a chance to come back.

    The refs allowed both teams to play for 58 minutes and in the final two minutes of the game they threw this flag. It is a very bad look for the NFL.

  6. Holding calls… it doesn't matter if the ball is catchable… it could be thrown to another receiver and it's still holding.

    Fistful of jersey will get called 100% of the time any ref actually sees it.

  7. The bummer was that the penalty ruined the last 2 minutes of the game. Whether the penalty should have been called or not I don't know. What I see is that when the defender pulled the receivers jersey it not only slowed the receiver a hair, it also gave the defender a tug getting him going in the same direction as the receiver (better coverage). Now, if you say such a minor tug like that can't change the momentum of a 200 lb man, think back to when you were bench pressing in the gym and you are struggling to bench press 200 lbs and a guy (or girl, lets be fair in this day and age) comes up and gives you a finger of assistance and suddenly you are able to complete the press. Not exactly the same but you get the idea.

  8. The play was suspect because the NFL refs are suspect. The flag was thrown way to late, the ref was waiting to see if it was caught and when it wasn't then he throws a flag. It smells like fish.

  9. I was born and raised in Denver so I bleed orange and blue so what we you say, I’m with you brother!! lol. Nah, it was a bad call and it made for one of the most brining ending in super bowl history!!!

  10. It's crazy everybody was saying nfl was rigging games for ratings after afc championship game, now they are asking the refs to hold a clear foul in order to make the game more entertaining ie rig the game. I don't get the logic anymore.

  11. Perna, Please devote untold days researching similar offensive snaps from around the league to support this narrative! 😃🙏 would love that!
    Maybe then people around the world would find inner peace… ✌️ But probably not.

    PSA – As long as penalties are subjective calls in the NFL, there will be controversy! Most fanbases have been on both sides of these game changing calls. If any diehard fans out there continue to be upset by this call a year from now and can't let go of it… Please do yourself and everyone around you a favor by just letting it go for your own mental health and inner peace. Life is too short to hang onto that joy-sucking stress for too long.
    God bless and best wishes for your future health. 🙏

  12. This was absolutely the Right call. Did the ref also knock the ball out of J Hurts’ hand for a Chiefs TD. Losing sucks. That’s all there is to it. The Bills & Beagles fans certainly know that.

  13. There is another camera angle where you can definitely see him pulling on JuJu’s jersey. It was holding. Even Bradberry admitted it. So stop whining. There are many more reason the Eagles lost the game and it was there bad playing! Chiefs played better and won.

  14. Not a fan of either team, but the pass wasn’t catchable anyway. Chiefs still would’ve won. Like he said, I doubt they would’ve even gotten close to field goal range had they gotten the ball back
    But of course Chiefs fans will say it was the right call, Eagles fans will always say it was a bad call. Lose-lose situation for the refs

  15. So, you are really not going to show the angle where he's clearly holding him? You've seen it right? So, what happens if the Eagles didn't hold? Maybe the Chiefs complete the pass. Maybe Eagles commit PI? You wouldn't want the refs to call that either? What If the Eagles got away with the hold and went down to tie the game and won in OT? Would that have been fair? No, right? But it's all Shoulda, Coulda Woulda at this point. What actually happened is that the Eagles got called for a penalty they actually committed. Maybe don't commit penalties in that situation if you don't want it to be called and cost you a chance to get the ball back. Actually they did get the ball back (albeit with 8 seconds) and what did they do? The Chiefs even have them all the time in the world to throw and he was ridiculously short. Eagles just couldn't get the job done, the Chiefs did.

  16. Whenever there is big money involved through gambling there is always potential for cheating. I believe that it was seriously bad call. In every angle shown it was proven as the wrong call. Somebody had serious money on that game. In a game as important as a Superbowl there should be no questionable calls. It was obviously the wrong call but yet it stood. It would not surprise me to find out the football is rigged.

  17. This call is only relevant because the refs were forced to watch similar Chiefs formation because the Eagle's were BURNED on this play or formation Twice on 2 scores before and on the premise that he Barely Touching Him " Held Him" the coverage from NFl Film coverage shows the jersey pull in its entirety. It was the first infraction and the second prom waist grab that every hater likes to reference to is even better on the other angle. The end result is that it was a "Just call". Reacting to a bad angle doesn't do what the Chiefs did as lucky or opportunistic as it was "Desinty" maybe. My take is it was just better coached and observation that they were BURNED 🔥 Torched 2X come on man it was a Penalty Period GOI

  18. Life isn’t fair. Using imperfect humans isn’t fair.

    Drop your notions about officiating for a moment and think about this:

    Refs make it a game. No refs and it’s 22 guys in plastic armor beating the crap out of
    each other. Greatest UFC mega rumble ever. For about 5 min. Followed by exhausted, collapsing bodies and some scared sh-tless medics.

    The difference between a game and war is the rules and respect for those who are constantly doing their best to enforce the rules. Officiating is the institutional foundation of our sports. Our institutions are imperfect, but without our institutions we have nothing. No society, no football.

    Let’s have a little faith in each other.

  19. There’s my problem with this, “if this happened in the first quarter, who gives a shit.” How is this the opposing argument to this call. Most aren’t even saying it’s not a penalty, they just say you can’t call it there. If it’s a penalty in the first 55 minutes of the game, it is also a penalty in the last 5.

  20. I hated the call, but not as much as the Eagles Fans booing Dak for receiving an award for being a great guy off the field, and being a good example to all the young men that adore this sport. What in the hell was that booing all about?
