\"Kansas<\/p>\n

The NFL world seemed a little upside down on Sunday when the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0lost their first game of the season. The Chiefs lost by two scores to the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0in a 30-21 game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, some NFL fans blamed the officials for the outcome of the\u00a0much-anticipated contest\u00a0between two AFC rivals that are contending for the No. 1 seed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chiefs entered the Week 11 matchup with a 9-0 record. With the win streak and recent Super Bowl history on their side, many fans have complained during games this season that the league helps to prop up Kansas City via officiating.<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs fans upset with calls in loss to Buffalo Bills<\/h2>\n

However, Chiefs fans were the ones complaining about calls during their road game against Buffalo. Fans thought the refs missed everything from offensive pass interference by the Bills to a\u00a0facemask\u00a0by quarterback Josh Allen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not all of Kansas City\u2019s upset fans were receptive to the message.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s catharsis for Chiefs fans because we get the brunt of it every week,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcknowledging what happened and complaining are not the same thing,\u201d\u00a0posted\u00a0another.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>\"Ezoic\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo blaming the loss on officiating is lame,\u201d\u00a0agreed\u00a0a fan. \u201cBut having a set of eyes and being upset over a crucial part of the game is human. If only the NFL cared about having a good product.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficiating decides games, it shouldn\u2019t\u201d\u00a0argued\u00a0one poster. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating to have to see it happen. It needs to be highlighted. Officiating has gotten worse over the years. No debate about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMerely pointing out a bad missed-call is not complaining. Who made you the arbiter on this,\u201d\u00a0questioned\u00a0one fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cChiefs are losing because of their offense but are you saying that wasn\u2019t OPI,\u201d\u00a0asked\u00a0another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
