Refs laying down the law in the Bengals/Steelers rematch.... - phil413 - 09-18-2016
...what law? They aren't calling anything! Especially on Pitt's side. Holds galore and dirty hits, smh wow.

The negation of a blatant fumble says that yes, they are indeed.

forget the refs, Ken is handing the game to Pitt with soft GL calls like that. If you cant pound it in on four plays you get on the bus and go home. Pass calls in the rain are garbage and timid. That was Hill's redemption time.

At this point, what's the use in complaining about refs? Nothing will ever be done about bad officiating and there's nothing a fan can do to change it.
Bringing it up, pointing it out, etc etc does nothing.
If you want to be mad, be mad about the Bengals game plan. It's very difficult to run against Pitt, especially at home. New England says F that and they sling the ball 60 times a game. The secondary is the weakest part of Pitt's D. Throw, throw, throw.
There you go. That was not a fumble, but the "call stands". But what can you or anyone do about it? Nothing.
***** about the team that doesn't do enough to beat the team you hate.

Hey now I'm frustrated too but keep this post in context. We heard all week about how the officials were going to be critical so I think most of us assumed there were going to be flags galore. They were absent, and Pitt took advantage of holding constantly. Maybe Cincy missed that "opportunity"
but the game didn't match the agenda BSPN and the media in general were serving. If being controversial was the point though, they went to extremes to keep it by staring down a down by contact to call it a fumble. The Bengals should have been better, but maybe you misunderstood when this was posted, it was the 1st quarter not the end. Totally blaming the officiating is a cop out, which is irrelevant from this post.

Not a lot of teams are going to go into Pittsburgh and win a game when officials blow two TD calls, a fumble review, and call offensive penalties on only one team. It's one thing to be inept but to do so favoring one side is asinine. Almost as asinine as expecting people not to be pissed off and bitching about it.

This is true to some extent. Considering the absolute bullsh*t we had to go through with the Steelers last year, why the heck didn't we start the game absolutely going to town on these guys? I just don't understand it. After a game where they get away with the total bullsh*t they got away with, you'd like to think we take it out on them next game.
Instead we start and generally look like the submissive team we always do when we play them. Absolutely pathetic.
But... still not nearly as pathetic as the officiating. That was literally in a class of it's own.
