Should be a pick play. See how many times it's called. When it is, show the refs the Pittsburgh pick play and the official response from the NFL then say that it's clear the defender made contact first even though all the replays show it was the offensive player. Don't leave the field 'til they pick the flag up.
No, I'm not still bitter. Why do you ask?

The problem is that it only works for the 'specially preferred customers' that the league wants to win. To my extensive knowledge and experience as a bonified Bengals fan and NFL cynic I'm pretty sure that the Bengals still haven't applied for the preferred teams program that gives them those special preferred rule exemptions..
What we need to do is for everyone who posts on this board to create multiple usernames and all post under those multiple usernames to make it appear that the Bengals fan base is MUCH larger than it really is. It's not that I'm advocating that we cheat, but I don't see any other way to get us into the preferred teams program ...

Oh no. Of course not. They've never even been even remotely suspected of cheating . If ever there was a squeaky clean, good upstanding, honest and all around bunch of nice guys it would have to be New England..

I think that it would be humorous to have 4 WR line up in that "bunch" formation, have 3 of them lay blatant picks.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

I don't want sacks NOR do I want picks.
I just want our Defense to stop the run and and stop their pass attack, no need for that fancy stuff.
3 & outs. Over and over and over again.
I want us to torture them slowly, play by play until they give up on every play.

I think the players should decleat opposing players making sure not to line them up first.

See, here's the genius of it, if they keep calling it, but you keep running it, the refs aren't going to know what to do. Do they still call it? Do they only call it every other play? Eventually, they're going to give up calling it so that the game can eventually end. It might mean a 3 and a half hour 1st quarter, but it would definitely send a message to the NFL front office.

Ironically, I see the Bengals run this play less than every other NFL team I have watched. Especially at the goal line.

We may need to recruit a grief counselor on this board for times like this. I mean, I could almost qualify. Been through 3 divorces by vengeful cheating wives and I'm still alove. However, that didnt hurt as bad as this?
A KC win will help the healing process no doubt. We are going to be fine.

Legend has it that Hunter still has a hold of McRae. He wont let go for anything or anyone. Makes bathroom time really awkward.

I would love to see it, but i dont think no nfl team would even try to do this. Goodell probably get them banned from the league for ruining narrative.

They could just defecate all over their own uniforms before putting them on for the game.
No one will want to touch em' let alone run picks on them.

Exactly how many penalty yards against us do you find acceptable ? 100? 300? 1000? 10000? At some point the offense is moving backwards every snap..

Keep going backwards until you end up in the other endzone. About 25000 miles gets it done.
