The penalties really did have a huge impact on the game. TB was the better team yesterday and likely would have won anyway but this would have been a tight game if pass interference and holding was called equally. The chiefs did get stops and then the drives continued due to penalties. Not a single one of those calls were blatant, meaning they were all close judgement calls.
I thought all but 1 of them were bad calls. What bothers me about that is that we are to believe that the TB defense locked down all those Chiefs WRs all game and didn’t grab once. Bullshit.
These calls had a huge impact not only by extending drives but the Chiefs defense played less aggressively the rest of the game so guys got more open.
Yep, I tweeted Uhler and Moats at SNR radio Friday that exact thing, that the penalties would be heavily skewed toward Brady, as usual. The youngest biggest star in the game doesn't even get an obvious flag on a forearm to the head.
