Pretty fun game. I caught most of it but missed some of the middle.
Call at the end seemed a little weak to me. You just hate to see that late in the game, but it wasn't nothing. I can see how Eagles fans should be pissed and KC fans can bring up all the earlier missed or questionable calls.
I look at it sort of like balls and strikes. They had allowed some contact all night, and then get a very tight whistle at the end after the level of play had been established. That won't appease the "a penalty is a penalty" thought but that's the way I look at it as somebody with no skin in the game.

One thing that definitely sucked was the condition of the field. I think I remember the announcers saying Hurts slipped on his Hail Mary at the end.

Other than those two I thought it was a pretty good Super Bowl.
That field looked horrible, looked really slick.

Just watched the highlights.
Definitely a crappy call at the end.
I didn't see the entire game, but I'm sure there were several botched calls for both teams, there usually are in every game.

In a river hopefully!
A clinic on how NOT to give a team the ball back at the end of the game with a minute or more left.

Avoided a TD and ultimately gave the Eagles the ball with 0:08 secs left. Outstanding Coaching and planning . Dagger to the heart!

The call at the end on the hold was weak but kudos to the chiefs player for sliding at the 1 when the eagles obviously stopped playing so they could run the clock out. Pure genius I thought.

Would've been "next level" had a Philly defender pushed the guy into the end zone before he had a chance to slide.

I get why the coaches handled things that way, to run down the clock and all. That's just not what many fans want to see, and it was a rather dull end to an otherwise exciting game.
