I don't think there have been really any awful calls today but they definitely get some favourable help from the refs with what does and doesn't get called on them.

And they really don't need the help.

Every team and fanbase thinks they get screwed by refs. 

Refs are just inconsistently inconsistent especially since the NFL doesn't make them full time positions with enough training, don't have enough of them on field at once, and doesn't give them the full resources with video assistance that they should.

Given how few games there are, and how the best teams play in more them, there will definitely feel like there are trends. But the sample sizes are way small to attribute any real bias in these situations.

You definitely make some great points and I agree with what you are saying. It's the easy excuse to blame it on the ref. If they are going to have a bad game, screw both teams over but when games get to the playoffs, I've seem the Chiefs get away with some grabs and some holds that should have been called but weren't. It's not obviously just the Chiefs and like you say the refs are so inconsistent but I've not seen the Chiefs have a really bad call go against them in the playoffs for a while.
