Whipped Cream Difficulties

We wanted to get these two links up ahead of this week’s TMQ Watch, as they reference things that were discussed in last week’s TMQ (and the associated TMQ Watch):

1. “NFL officiating crew under scrutiny after missed calls”

Officials are evaluated on every play of every game. League officiating staff analyze the performance of every official, both for the calls that are made and those that are not. That review results in a grade which plays a major role in determining how to help the officials improve their performance as well as decide which officials will officiate in the playoffs. There are also year-end evaluations of every official.

2. “Mahomes, Reid criticize offside call that negated Kelce lateral TD”

“I’ve played seven years [and] never had offensive offside called,” Mahomes said. “That’s elementary school [stuff] we’re talking about. There was no warning throughout the entire game. Then you wait until there’s a minute left in the game to make a call like that? It’s tough. Lost for words. It’s tough. Regardless if we win or lose, just the end of another game and we’re talking about the refs. It’s just not what we want for the NFL and for football.”

It isn’t like we’re Switfies, or generally biased in favor of KC, though we are biased against Buffalo (which, we guess, is pretty much the same thing). Nor did we see the game. But, yes, this seems kind of like ticky-tacky officiating.
