Juiced

by ChiefJamesthe2nd on Nov 22, 2011 1:56 PM CST

I'm 25 and so I still keep up with the "in" crowed a bit. Currently there is a new slang like word going around and that word is Juiced. Juiced means you just got fooled or screwed. If a RB makes a CB miss really badly, the CB has been juiced. I'm not sure where or why this word has caught on, or how it was determined to be used in this instanc, but I feel it is appropriate for this situation, because last night the KC Chiefs got juiced by the boys in white and black.

I know no one really likes to blame the refs for anything anymore, but I assure you that last night was as good a time as any to give resposibillity to the zebras.

The Chiefs start this game DOMINATING the Pats. Getting pressure (something like 4 sacks in the first half), moving the ball on offense, shutting down the patriots offense. So what happened? Let me give you the pivitol play.

8:46 left in the second it's 3rd and 11 from the 45....THOMAS JONES picks up 14 yards but wait, a bs holding on Leonard Pope KILLS the Chiefs momentum, they can't convert 3rd and 21 and they have to punt.

This is followed by the Patriots TD drive, which I counted numerous holds that were never called, and it's a snowball effect from there. I've thought of it like this a boxer has another boxer pinned up aginst the ropes, and it taking shot after shot, puttin the gloves to'em, then the ref for no reason stops the fight and says lets start back in the middle again, giving the other fighter a second start. When you're playing Tom brady and the Pats, you can't give them a second chance or they will destroy you, I give you last nights game as a perfect example. And the REFS gave the Pats a second chance.

The Chiefs team I know and love is in shambles, they are NOT as good as the Pats are, but last night we had there number for a quarter and a half and then once again a ref got involved and messed things up. This has happened countless times the past 2 years, not just the Chiefs games, EVERY game. The ref really are taking the fun out of football for me. I love football, but I feel like every year more and more games are decided by referees than the players. I hope that one day fans will be willing to stand up and say we wont take it anymore. Why fans and not players? Because WE (the fans) line their pockets with gold, and once we say...no more, they'll fix it....until then they're making their money and they don't care. It's simple supply and demand...if we don't demand they wont supply.........

I hope that eventually this post makes a difference....

you think it's bad here...

watch mls refs. with the power to eject someone without prior warning with only 1 ref making the call, statistically in bad positions to make the call. you talk about momentum…just wait until one team starts to get called for things only the ref sees as egregious, then the team continuously getting the called for fouls starts actually playing at that level, and bam, the other team now has a competitive advantage. football is the same way, only with more guys. the sad thing is, with more guys, momentum calls, or reputation calls, still make it into the game even with all the ref committee time and booth review timeouts.

big markets want to see big markets win. refs automatically think we are going to try to play chippy against the golden boys, and they subconsciously side with those they think it would matter most to the league if they could stay uninjured. No personal foul when our guy got straight up knocked down, off the ball after the play? its about keeping the pats storyline going. same as it was with sporting when our guy aurelien collin commited a professional foul, and was still on the ground and a fight broke out between two other guys. he already had a yellow card, and the ref gave him a second for starting a fight, which the ref has complete control over whether he gives cards in that case. he didnt do anything to start the fight, and was laying down the whole time until the fight got out of control and pulled two of his guys away. Its the guys first game in the USA, shoring up a point of weakness for our team, and he gets a BS ejection from the game, and has to sit out the next game to for red card rules, when he did nothing.

Football is all about momentum.

Yeah, you hate to blame the refs, but they certainly did put the brakes on whatever momentum we had.

Years ago I spent a lot of time at the craps tables in Atlantic City. It was amazing how, when a player got on a good roll, the dealer would “accidentally” contact the dice with his stick in midair and they almost always came up seven (out).

Really?

At no point in time last night did I think “man, if those refs weren’t screwing us, we would have a chance”. That was a second half ass kicking. We had 3 points….3 points. We couldn’t beat the Royals with that.

I agree that the holding penalty on Pope was a BS call

and I agree that momentum is important in football. But good teams overcome that kind of thing. We’re not there yet.

Speaking of juiced

Matt Kemp got juiced.

Ryan Braun won the NL MVP?!?!? You gotta be kidding me. Kemp won the golden glove in center field, and was a few point in BA away from a triple crown. And don’t give me this “well Braun took his team to the playoffs” BS. The very fact that the #3 finisher in the MVP race was also on his team shows how he was hardly worthy of an MVP for simply having a better team surrounding him.

I digress.
