Chiefs fans, it's time for all of us to admit it - the officials clearly favored one team in the AFC Championship game. It is what it is.

Below, I've compiled a thread of egregious missed calls, all benefiting the same team. I can't be silent any longer.

The truth matters.
This holding call would have made it 2nd and very long on the very first drive of the game.

This non-call clearly gave momentum to one team. Image
Only one play later, and again, the officials refuse to call holding.

This may well have resulted in a strip sack, based on the angle from the blindside.

Remember guys, it's not the number of calls - it's the timeliness of them. Image
The officials could have called this a hip-drop tackle on the offensive lineman. That's how blatant the hold, which sprung open a run, was.

They really are cheating right in front of us. Disgusting. Image
The near side judge has an unobstructed view of this offensive lineman with his arm fully extended, and so firmly grasping the jersey of a defender attempting to close a running lane, that the shoulder pads are visible.

The league has no shame. Image
This run firmly established the offense in scoring position on an eventual TD, and calling the hold would have pushed them out of field goal range.

This is creating points for a team that didn't deserve them. Image
Again, not even one quarter later, a run that established scoring position on an eventual TD drive is not rightly pushed put of FG range by a an obvious hold.

The league cannot be allowed to get away with this. Image
Before that even happened, the drive started with an uncalled false start.

This flag would have completely change the complexion of a drive that needed every break possible, due to lack of time on the clock. Image
The league clearly tried to create points on the ensuing TD, by calling an offsides, despite the ball moving before the defender crossed the line of scrimmage.

I can't believe the league thinks they can get away with this. Image
Now with momentum already intentionally swung to one team, they again are unfairly helped by allowing a run to spring open with an uncalled hold, right where the hole develops.

There truly is no bottom to this well of depravity. Image
I'm so upset while live streaming my tears in the "boycott the super bowl" support group that I forgot this other false start, literally on the play that scored a TD.

If this is called, it's a 6 point swing, in what was eventually a 3 point game.

I have no words. Image
ANOTHER run is established because of an uncalled hold? This one was even obvious enough to untuck a previously tucked in jersey.

Investigate the league. Image
Now they're swallowing the whistle on runs that establish 1st and goal on go-ahead drives.

They wouldn't call this obvious block in the back.

Follow the money, people. Image
I'm truly shaking in anger, now.

An uncalled hold on 4th and 1? On the same go-ahead TD drive?

Cancel the entire league. Image
After creating an unearned TD drive to put one team ahead, the same officials flag the other team for a false start, despite the defense actually being offsides, forcing them to punt, rather than potentially retake the lead.

It's all Taylor Swift's fault. Image
You guys, I have to stop now. I'm too upset.

This uncalled facemask, which would have put the offense in easy field goal range, eventually lead to a punt.

In a game that ended with a 3 point margin?

Rigged. The fix is in. Image
