I’m definitely having flashbacks to how the Bucs took care of the Packers two weeks ago. ---

Kudos to Bucs defense. Chiefs killing themselves with a big penalty, drop by Kelce, and poor punting. ---

God I hate Brady getting lucky having a pick called back . ---

Can’t believe they didn’t do the QB sneak on the goal line. ---

Brady having all day to throw. Not even moving him off his spot much. ---

Haven’t been watching football much the last couple years, but that holding on the INT looked soft. Chiefs getting a TD to close out the half would be huge. There’s definitely room for them to come back here. ---

Ticky tack refereeing isn’t helping. Well, it’s helping the Bucs. ---

It’s not ticky tack as far as I see. These guys are grabbing and groping the WRs at the tops of their breaks. I mean, it’s an annoying amount of flags but they are legit. ---

I had no rooting interest going in, but the phantom penalties have me pulling for KC now. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > I’m having a hard time seeing how the Bucs will even keep this game close. The Chiefs will jump out to an early lead and only grow it from that point on. Tampa Bay will have a moral victory if they can merely lose by less than two touchdowns. I officially eat my words. ---

When you’re beat by two steps by a guy with an open path to the endzone and “fall” with your hands on the guy’s heels, it’s usually a flag. ---

He fell because the receiver kicked him. And that pass was uncatchable. ---

That drives me nuts about the NFL. They almost never say a pass is uncatchable. It has to be 20 yards away before they’ll say it.
