Why you all crying about call when it was perfectly by the book. And No one blaming Jalen Hurts fumbling the ball and giving 7 point and momentum. Why no one is blaming defense and DLine. I guess 70+ Sacks and each lineman with dbl digit sacks was a fluke. Why no one is praising KC online who kicked asses of Philly. Why no one is talking about I believe once before Andy Reed has let go sirianni because Reed knows how bad sirianni is. Also why no one saying any thing abt Andy Reed out coached sirianni…LMAO luv it baby.. Go Giants.. 4 times Superbowl champ..love G man..
Regardless of whether the call was good or not, it would have been 4th down from 15 yd line….an EASY FG for Butker. People crying over the call are ridiculous. I'm a lifelong Eagles fan…WE GOT BEAT BY KC…not by the refs. We are better than this Philly fans…have some class
I’ll respect the chiefs and mahomes because I do think they did win that game but I also firmly believe the eagles where fucked outta there chance of winning that game as well and that holding call just makes it look way more suspicious why was it like the only holding call all game you mean to tell me both sides if the ball all game didn’t hold once? Or jalen didn’t get a face mask that led to a chiefs touchdown? Idk fishy asf congrats to Kansas City but idk that game was decided by refs 100%
So I should believe the eagles would not have done the same thing. The eagles would not have used the clock…they won top. What about that defensive juggernaut? So much is being made over a call KC came out scoring. While the eagles could not get that run game going enough. Screaming defense wins championships all year every then don't mention the defense. Blame everything else. It still was a great game. The better team won! #Triggermoment
If that's a hold, then we need to go back to the goal line Michael Crabtree hold on that wide receiver fade route in the superbowl just saying. Unless the receiver spins, it's a hold. Handfighting and both offensive and defensive players in position to play the ball should not be called. Damn they making football soft
It would have been the same outcome but it is one thing for unknowing fans to blame refs but how unprofessional it is for an Analyst to say such a fan, We know he was for the Eagles but sad he wants rules broken. Hold AJ and they would not have got that touchdown if you want to analyse.
The issue isn't whether it was "technically" holding or not. We, the fans, have spoken, and we DO NOT want the refs making that call, in that spot. And, this goes for all sports (football, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc.) So, telling me that "he had to make that call" is utter rubbish! The leagues are free to do what they want, but if they are going to make that call then don't bother trying to justify it to the fans because we have already spoken. BTW, I'm a Cowboys fan, so I'm hardly caping for the Eagles!
Well, the Lions fans are still furious at Mr. Run out of the End Zone, so… and by the way, the ball was uncatchable because Mahomes saw the hold and threw it away. The second it was out of his hand he was pointing at Ju-Ju.
you can have mixed feelings about the hold call, but in football, there’s plenty of opportunities to change an outcome. i’m an eagles fan, chiefs won fair.
Stop crying Dan. It’s was a great game . Your birds got smoked, mostly because of your overrated D and your QBs fumble. 😢😢😢😢. The birds lost, get over it.
Horrible call. New Rule: Last 2 minutes of the Superbowl 1. No PI calls unless blatant and two referees have concur then upstairs review. 2nd. Any delay of game ,ie putting 12 men on the field to burn clock means other team gets another time out and time back on the clock. I am sick of these referees in any games screwing up the outcome. Just note I dont't like KC or Philly.
IS EVERYONE BLIND ????THERE WAS A WHOLE GAME OF BIZARRE AND BLOWN CALLS AND NON CALLS AND CALLS WHERE NO FLAG WAS THROWN BUT THE REFS STOPPED PLAYS BY PHYSICALLY JUMPING IN AND STOPPING PLAYS !! DID NO ONE SEE ANY OF THESE ?? THERE WAS A HUGE OFFENSIVE PASS INTERFERENCE CALL WITH A LATE FLAG THROWN ON A RECEIVER WHO DID NOT HAVE THE BALL THROWN TO HIM, THE PLAY WAS A SCREEN PASS TO THE RIGHT SIDE 2 YARDS BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, THE REFS THREW A LATE BS FLAG ON A EAGLES RECEIVER WHO WAS BLOCKING 6 YARDS DOWNFIELD !! THE REFS ALSO PHYSICALLY JUMPED BETWEEN THE OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE LINEMAN WITHOUT THROWING A FLAG WHEN THE EAGLES WERE MOVING THE BALL AND THIS REF BROKE UP THE PLAY PHYSICALLY THEN THREW A LATE FLAG AND PICKED THE FLAG UP AND SAID THE CHIEFS DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO LINE UP CORRECTLY OR MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS !! LIKE WTF ?? NO PENALTY ON THE CHIEFS ?? WTF ?? BIZARRE !! ANOTHER FLAG THROWN AFTER AN EAGLES RECEIVER CAUGHT A HUGE UNBELIEVABLE PASS ON THE SIDELINE , THE NEXT PLAY WAS ALREADY IN MOTION WHEN THE REFS THREW A FLAG AND SAID AFTER PICKING UP THE FLAG THAT THE CHIEFS DID NOT HAVE TIME TO MAKE SUBSTITUTIONS !! WELL THAT MEANT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PENALTY ON THE CHIEFS FOR TOO MANY PLAYERS !! BUT THE FLAG WAS PICKED UP AND THE REFS THEN ALSO SAID THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THROWN THE FLAG BUT THEN PROCEEDED TO LET ANDY REID THROW A CHALLENGE FLAG AND GO WAY BACK TO REVIEW A PLAY THAT WAS CALLED A CATCH AND THE NEXT PLAY WAS ALREADY IN MOTION !! MORE BS AND THE PLAY WITCH WAS THEN REVIEWED WHERE EVERYONE WAS IN DISBELIEF OVER AND THEY WERE ALL SAYING WAS A CATCH AND THERE WOULD NEED TO BE A TON OF EVIDENCE TO OVERTURN WAS OVERTURNED , IT SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN , THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO REVIEW , THE NEXT PLAY WAS ALREADY IN MOTION !! MORE BS !! THIS WENT ON ALL GAME !! IF ANYONE WAS WATCHING. THIS WENT ON ALL GAME !! THERE WAS A GOOD NUMBER OF CALLS THAT SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN , NO FLAG, FLAG WAS PICKED UP, REFS PHYSICALLY STOPPING PLAYS WITH NO FLAG ETC ETC !! IF NO ONE SAW THE FIX ALL GAME GO BACK AND WATCH IT !! NO MATTER WHAT THE EAGLES DID THE CHIEFS WERE ONLY ONE SCORE AWAY FROM THE LEAD FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE GAME EXCEPT FOR BRIEF MOMENTS DURING THE GAME 1 OR 2 TIMES WHERE THEY WERE DOWN OVER 7 POINTS !! EAGLES WERE DESTROYING THEM , TIME OF POSSESSION WAS LIKE 31 MINUTES TO 9 MINUTES BY THE START OF THE 4TH QRTER, THE EAGLES HAD SO MANY 1ST DOWNS , THE EAGLES D WAS ON BEAST MODE SO WAS THE OFFENSE AND HURTS BUT THE REFS KEPT THE CHIEFS IN STRIKING DISTANCE EVEN THOUGH MAHOMES SAT ON THE BENCH AND BARELY SAW THE FIELD BY CALLING TOTALLY BIZARRE AND BS CALLS MOST OF THE TIME WITH NO FLAG WHICH KEPT KC IN THE GAME AND STOPPING THE EAGLES MOMENTUM AND FROM BLOWING OUT THE CHIEFS !! THIS GAME WAS COMPLETELY FIXED !! THE FINAL BS HOLDING CALL WHICH WAS LATE AS WELL WAS THE FINAL KNIFE THRU THE HEART TO COMPLETE THE BIZARRE NONSENSE AND TOTAL THEATRICAL BS FOR THE WIN !! THIS IS WWE STYLE BS NOW NO DOUBT ABOUT IT !!GO BACK AND WATCH THE GAME AND YOULL SEE FOR YOURSELF
The referee was the only one man that cause the eagles to lose that game that wasn't no holding that was a fourth down and they should have kick the field goal but the referee screw the eagles that night
TLDR – Need a rule change that would minimize the chances of games ending after a bad OR good penalty call because a team kneeling the ball 3 times at the end of a super close game is simply not entertaining, which should be the main goal of the NFL.
I've seen other angles of this play and there is definitely enough of a pull of the Jersey to warrant the holding call. But whether or not the call is legitimate is beside the point. The NFL is a competitive sport that makes billions of dollars a year because of their entertainment value. So the problem with this "controversial" call is the same problem which even non-controversial calls experience late during games. The problem is that it ends the game.
And what makes this problem even more glaring is that it ends the game in the most anti-climactic way possible. The offense gains a first down. Kneels the ball three times. And runs out the clock or kicks a last second field goal. No matter how you slice it. No matter how egregious the penalty is which gave the offense the first down. The fact of the matter is that the kneel down play (especially during close back and forth games) is a boring play.
So here is an idea of how to fix the fact that many close games end with an offense getting what is essentially a "free" first down and then kneeling the ball to win the game on a field goal.
RULE CHANGE: In the 4th Quarter after the 2 Minute Warning if the defense no longer has any timeouts and the offense gains a first down via a penalty, then the clock will automatically stop at the end of each play for the next set of downs.
Now obviously this is not a perfect rule so it will need some caveats in order to minimize how far teams can take advantage of this rule.
But first consider what the rule accomplishes: 1) It frees referees to be able to make correct calls and not worry about it essentially ending the game.
2) It allows the defense to get a second chance to make a stop and get the ball back, even after a penalty.
3) It still rewards offenses with yards and a fresh set of downs, BUT now, offenses will be forced to truly compete and get another first down in order to truly ice the game. This rule essentially puts the game back on the players to win or lose.
4) Finally, and most importantly for the fans and for the NFL, it will make the final minutes of a game far more entertaining because the chances of the game ending on a BS call are minimized.
So what caveats need to be added to this rule? Because clearly leaving this rule just as it is will allow defenses to simply hold whenever they want in order to get essentially three more timeouts at the end of a game.
RULE QUALIFIERS: 1) This rule can never take into effect for multiple series of downs in a row. This means that a defense that gives up a first down, AFTER this rule was already in effect, cannot then hold on the next play in order to get a fresh set of downs and essentially 3 more timeouts. Now exactly how many times this rule is taken into effect can be debated. Maybe its a rule which can only be in effect once an entire possession. Or once after every first down which was not caused by a penalty. It seems there are positives and negatives with each option which are worthy of consideration.
2) The Defense has the right to decline the time stopping rule. This needs to be added because if the defending team is winning, then you don't want an opposing offense given a first down AND 3 timeouts, after a penalty.
3) In the case that a defense has only 1 or 2 timeouts, the time stopping rule takes into effect ONLY after the defending team has used all of its timeouts. This way, the defense can't just hoard its timeouts, but also still gets the benefit of the rule if they have less than 3 timeouts and the other team gained a first down because of a penalty.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Obviously this rule isn't perfect and probably there are ways to take advantage of it that I have not even considered. BUT I believe that it will accomplish the most important goal of the NFL, it will make the game more entertaining. Does it favor the defense a little bit? Sure it does. But for the sake of making the ending of a game more entertaining, I don't see why that would be such a big deal.
Everybody saying suck it up, the Eagles D folded, but hey, they gave up 38, they didn’t give up 58. And nobody plays perfect football, even the Chiefs, nobody is talking about would’ve could’ve should’ve, we are talking about what actually happened. And if you take that call away, the Eagles D held the Chiefs to a field goal to give the ball back to an on-fire Jalen Hurts. So really, the Eagles did play “good enough” to no avail…smh 🤦🏽♂️
Chiefs vs eagles – 3rd down. 1:48 to play def holding… 1st down Rams vs Bengals- 3rd down 1:47 to play def holding… 1st down Saints vs Rams -3rd down 1:48 to play Nola no call… Rams win Look at outcome of these games & tell me this is just random. No way in hell. I'm done with this shite.
We all know what it was….I have watched football for over 3 decades and this was the last betrayal to the true fans I won't be watching football anymore.
We got robbed the lights were way to bring in that stadium and the grass was slippery! They should have dimmed the lights a bit and grew grass with grip and we would have been holding that trophy! Fly eagles fly!! Rigged
So the hold was when he made his first move and he did grab a handful of jersey, the photo everyone is focusing on is when he turns up the field…. That’s not the hold it happened before that and it’s clear held him because he bit on the first move.
they didn't have the right camera angle on tv for anyone to see if it was really a hold or not….this youtube video shows the obvious hold that both players admitted to. Just go to 1:00 of video…..https://youtu.be/JcR4dtFWFEo……he has a fist full of jersey….obvious hold
If not a for that pull, it would've been a 1st down, ending the game! The asshole who ran out of the endzone for a Safety is mad because his ego was hurt by being so wrong on every take!! He's so stupid that it hurts your eyes watching! !
Ohhh suddenly when the flags are against (you) they're bad and unfair? LMAO 'flyyyy eagles fly- ACK!' you got a taste of those 'legit flags' like when the refs cheated for you against the niners

The NFL wanted another Brady so the refs won the game for KC.

Handfighting and both offensive and defensive players in position to play the ball should not be called. Damn they making football soft
Also Deebo Damuel was right about Philly's defense. If you can hold off the rush, the back end gets exposed 🤔
It would have been the same outcome but it is one thing for unknowing fans to blame refs but how unprofessional it is for an Analyst to say such a fan, We know he was for the Eagles but sad he wants rules broken. Hold AJ and they would not have got that touchdown if you want to analyse.

That’s bullshit not holding. If replay the entire game , everyone was holding fuck the chiefs
Well, the Lions fans are still furious at Mr. Run out of the End Zone, so… and by the way, the ball was uncatchable because Mahomes saw the hold and threw it away. The second it was out of his hand he was pointing at Ju-Ju.
next time don’t choke the second half
you can have mixed feelings about the hold call, but in football, there’s plenty of opportunities to change an outcome. i’m an eagles fan, chiefs won fair.
Stop crying Dan. It’s was a great game . Your birds got smoked, mostly because of your overrated D and your QBs fumble. 😢😢😢😢. The birds lost, get over it.
that is 1000% not holding, stop it
Terrible call…end of Story. You will see this type of hand checking on every single play.
Horrible call. New Rule: Last 2 minutes of the Superbowl 1. No PI calls unless blatant and two referees have concur then upstairs review. 2nd.

Just note I dont't like KC or Philly.
Wisdom would be less than 2 mins to go 35 all, superbowl
dont call on a 50,50 or dont be anal-retentive Now !
Let it be decided fairly in overtime….
If no "hold"..JUJU WOULD HAVE SCORED– ITS THE SAME PLAY THEY SCORED ON 2-3 TIMES DURING THE GAME. HE HELD BECAUSE HE WAS BEAT AND TO STOP THE TD.
Ppl really mad that he got caught😂
Bad call.
