The SB Officiating Was Beyond Bad....

Missed obvious delay of game on Frisco last drive, how many late hits out of bounds with no calls? Obvious off-sides
against KC missed....these are the best in the league supposedly graded during the season and rewarded to officiate
this game.

Play Clock also went to :00 on 49ers 4th Down attempt with no call and Jimmy G. got smashed in the helmet on that play.

Impossible to put so much faith in these idiots for even one game. There were a couple late its out of bounds ignored.

Kittles obviously pushed off in 2Q, was a good call. Film don't lie.

The KC offsides was so obvious, Aikman pointed it out right away. There was another obvious holding call on a SF receiver right in front of the ref which was missed.

Seemed they didn't want to call anything. I think no holding calls the entire game at the line of scrimmage.
Almost like they were told to let them play and call very little to prevent any controversy.

Totally agree. They call late hits out of bounds in Regular Season to prevent game from getting out of hand and because they happened. It was weird, like they didn't want the controversy of having that one Ref (top-rated) fuck the Big Game up. It screwed up the flow.

Who knows what happens if they re-play the SF play the ran at :00. They just let that go like nothing. Bad strangeness. Not fixy, just lame, PC.

NO HOLDING CALLS ON OL IN SUPER BOWL?? That says it all. Props to the OL,, but still. C'mon man. Weird.

I have no issues with the close out of bounds hits not being called in fact I have a big issue with them being called. That said I thought KC got the best of the whistle last night.

I've seen far worse officiated Super Bowls. Swallowing the whistle a better option then calling every little thing. KC did get the better of the whistle, but the OPI against Kittles was legit.
I still hate the all star aspect of post season officiating crews. Entire, familiar crews should officiate these games.

Delay of game penalties are not absolute.. Back judge looks at play clock and then observes whether ball has been snapped when clock turns zero. NFL not in the business of having frequent delay of game calls. NFL also doesn't want penalty-marred SBs.

I can’t believe this hasn’t gotten more run today/last night. I’m stacking all day as a result so no complaints here, but every single call went KC’s way. “Mahomes the new face of the league” getting a lot of airplay (true, along with Lamar, but still).

I hate having a ref in the booth to try and support as many bad calls on the field as he can.

Unless it's beyond a bad call and blatantly obvious the booth ref likes to justify the call regardless if it's good or bad.

Well yes the play clock was to ZERO before the snap but it was close. If it's close it's the right call.

That said I don't think the game was called atrociously, they let them play for the most part which is what I prefer.

I have seen about 50 basketball games, and 20 football games with Bill Vinovich the last 30 years, and 90% of them are a CLUSTERF***S he had heart issues. so last 10 yrs has been on heart meds, doesn't make decisive calls, is on beta blockers so most of his calls are well after the fact. He is a terrible ref, and has wrecked many results.
