View Full Version : Travis Kelce Blames the Refs for KC Loss

I just saw on NFL network a locker room interview with Travis Kelce where he blamed the refs for KC losing the game, and in particular the holding call by Eric Fisher on James Harrison on the 2-pt conversion. Despite that it was a BLATANT hold obvious to anyone who saw the replay, Kelce claims Fisher did nothing and Harrison just fell down. He specifically called out the ref wearing #51 and used a bunch of bleeped -out curse words to describe the refs performance tonight.

If I could find video online I would post it, but I can't yet find a video link. I'm sure this is going to draw even more fines on top of his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during the game.

I'm sure he is disappointed, but for him to think the Chiefs lost because of the referees is just assinine. Enjoy your offseason Travis.

And I won't bother to mention the three times (at least) the playclock was at zero on their offense with no flag forthcoming.

Kelce, how about the personal foul penalty that was called on Maclin (which would have off-set Davis' helmet-to-helmet call) that mysteriously got picked up???

I said this in another thread.

You hear this from the guy that dropped a deep pass down the middle that hit him in the hands and took a stupid personal foul penalty when he flattened Cockrell about 30 seconds after the play was over.

There is a Jerramy Stevens quality about him after this game. Kelce is a great player, but that's just bush league.

I've got nothing bad to say about Kelce. He's a competitor and he's emotionally invested in the fortunes of his team. He also happens to be a *very* good TE. I think it's unfair to compare him to Burfict.

You know I could at least understand if it was a close play but that was not even a marginal hold he took James down. While I won't compare him to the idiot in cincy, but his rant was complete Bull snot, and if he had maybe played a little better then his team wouldn't have needed to rely on the 2 point conversion. Rather than looking at the refs for that call look at your own mistakes and take it like a man, instead of trying to deflect the spotlight.

I have resigned myself to expect questionable calls from the refs. It is just part of the game now. However, that call is owed Harrison hundreds of times over, because like James said, it is a call he gets every blue moon. He should get at least 2 of them per game.

I just shook my head at the "all star" ref in the Cryboys game. Forget which DB it was, but he was getting away with holding and mugging the GB receivers all game long. The worst was when the GB WR Jersey was pulled right over his shoulder pads, right in front of the ref, and there was no call. "All stars".

Harrison was held. If Fisher hadn't held Smith would have gotten the ball off anyways.

Harrison definitely slipped as a result of the hold and wasn't tackled so much as taken off his footing.

Some are saying Debo took a dive! They must not know what he is about haha. That's the last man on earth looking for a handout for a ref. And why would Harrison expect to draw a flag? He gets held without a call 20+ times a season without a call.

Harrison did slip. If Fisher hadn't clotheslined him first the conversion would have counted.

- - - Updated - - -

Kelce is a cancer. They should trade him. Eric Berry challenged his teammates to loook in the mirror and ask if they gave everything they had; Kelce blamed the ref for calling an abvious hold. One of these players represents a culture of winning and the other belongs in Cleveland "BECAUSE HES A SOLDIER!"

He was held, it was blatant. He gets held just about every time he rushes the passer, because if they don't hold him, he's going to destroy the QB. He gets held all game every game, and he's lucky to have it called once or twice a season.

That play wasn't why they lost the game. They couldn't win the game on that play, just force overtime, if the Steelers don't score on their ensuing possession.

I'm sure there were calls that the refs missed on both teams, that's officiating. But the holding call wasn't a bad call, it was the right call, and it was literally right in front of the official who then had to call it because the LT made no attempt whatsoever to be subtle about it.

LloydWoodson
01-16-2017, 08:32 AM
Dallas got screwed by the officials though: go look up the PI on Witten that wasn't called it will blow your mind and 15 yard penalty on Butler for running to the huddle and then being called back to the sidelines for different personnel.

If Kelce was in the right I wouldn't consider it whining and refs are determining outcomes more than ever. I can see how Chiefs fans could see the call as BS because they are biased and because Harrison slipped. Facts are facts and Fisher is not allowed to rear naked choke defenders.

If you watch it again Harrison loses his footing. That's why he was able to be tackled so easily.

I agree that it was holding; I am saying I can see how Harrison could be perceived as diving by others if they are as biased as every other NFL fan base.

I think if Harrison doesn't go down there, no flag. Since it looked like a complete take down, there had to be a flag.

He does lose his footing (steps on the side of his foot before being yanked down). However, if you watch Tube's video, you'll see his upper body being jerked backwards, which can only happen if he's been held. I understand what you're saying, but in truth, for anyone to perceive this as diving, they don't just have to be biased, they have to patently ignore the upper half of Harrison's body. So, it takes more than bias to conclude he dove. It takes a willing ignorance.

Its easy to lose your footing when someone basically pulls you to the ground. James Harrison has been held and tackled his entire career with nary a call.

I've been surfing the Chiefs site and the KC fans don't have a have a high opinion on him either. It turns out Kelce is kind of a prick.

Andy Reid: Holding call on tying 2-point try should have been non-call


"There are certain things you agree with and don't agree with during games,'' Reid said Monday when asked for his opinion of the call. "It really doesn't matter now that we're sitting here. I don't want to be fined any money but I would tell you I was probably leaning the other way. I thought Fish did what he needed to do on that particular block to get that done and the problem is when [linebacker James Harrison] slipped it can look worse than it is.

OK, fine. Give them the 2 points. There was about 2:40 or so left on the clock. Considering that the Steelers punted, what, once all night(?), and that they moved the ball between the 20s with ease pretty much the entire game, they milk the clock as the Chiefs were pretty much out of timeouts, move the ball down into Boswell's range and kick the winning FG anyway.

Kelce is a loser! Maybe he should look at the 3 drops he had and the personal foul he caused his team to attribute to his team's loss. That call on Harrison was a good call, although not called too often, it was still a holding call. His lack of play making is probably the reason he is a 2nd rate player and the ONLY reason he was targeted at all during the game is because the Steeler's took Hill out of the game play. Look's like the ref got the last laugh on Kelce and his attitude !

Even if he slipped, Kelce was bear hugging him into the ground regardless. Why is it that whenever the Steelers win, it's only because the refs "helped them"? Wait, I know....

Looking at the play again thanks to post by tube, its pretty obvious James gets to Alex if not held. Watching game I knew it was a hold but was pretty intoxicated so I wasn't sure if James could get him. Not that it matters it definitely was a penalty but makes me feel a little better.

Thought this was pretty classless by Kelce. I knew the guy had a temper but he hurt his team during the game, and continued to do so after it. Doesn't help that Andy Reid was saying the same thing after the game about that penalty allegedly not being a hold. Laughable to be quite honest. I've seen far less egregious holds get called in the NFL on a regular basis. Harrison busted out is legendary rip & dip pass rush move, Fisher couldn't handle it so he hooked him and tackled him into the turf. They're trying to say Harrison lost his balance, and fell... Ridiculous. Harrison uses that move all the time to great effect and has throughout his career.
