Where to start with this..
First off the throw was terrible, DB turns around hes running back for 6. On what planet that is a perfect wheel route I'm not sure.
Second yes the roughing the passer was soft call, however there was 12 minutes left in the 4th and edelman was clearly held on that route anyways which didn't get a flag
Third, how many camera angles do you need to see or how many KC coaches/players have to tell you it was the right flag and he lined up offside? So your statement of a gift is perplexing.. Why dont we look at the obvious pick play on JC Jackson that allowed the Chiefs to set up that go ahead TD late in the 4th. Or lets look at the 2 pass interference calls against Kelce and Watkins (one in the endzone) that got called while Gronk got held by Berry on every single route he ran with zero calls.
Finally, yes the refs missed the call, yes you got jobbed but no one told your defense to let them drive the field and score the game tying FG. No one made Ingram lose 6 yards on first down in the first play of overtime. And FINALLY no one made Brees throw a terrible throw with pressure in his face that got picked up.
At first i felt bad for the Saints but man, get over it you had your chances to win the game earlier and after the play and they didn't. Now we get to hear the whines for the rest of time.
