In reply to: And a really bad roughing the passer call. * posted by Steelhop

Both blunders were caused by the refs not seeing what happened. That is inexcusable, but in my book it's even worse to invent a penalty that didn't happen than to not call a penalty (two, actually -- PI and helmet-to-helmet) that did happen.

The only reason I didn't raise the roughing call here is that I went back and found that it came on 2nd down, not 3rd down as I originally remembered it. Given how bad KC was on defending 3rd downs, it's possible the blunder made no difference in the outcome.
