Officials looked the other way on many Jawaan Taylor fouls

It wasn’t just a situation of uncalled pre-snap fouls. At one point, Taylor held Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson multiple times on the same play.
It became comical, frankly. But it’s not new. Throughout last season, many tackles (Lane Johnson mastered it) moved early. And there were many instances of uncalled holding by offensive linemen.
At one point, Chris Simms made a great point on PFT Live. As he sees it (and he’s right), defensive linemen have gotten better and better. Offensive linemen are overmatched. Officials are likely not calling false starts and/or holding helps to even things out.

That crew should be dropped or everybody (team) should be allowed to do the same.

Chiefs have become the new Patriots. They make the league money, so they get the calls.

The behind the line of scrimmage stance was the most obvious

They are fans not officials so much.
