Some are mad that he doesn't wear his Bengal Jersey to every game he calls, but I dig him being a non-homer when he calls a game. Last night when Allen got called for the grounding, CC explained what happened and he disagreed with the rule. He respected the fact that it was a rule and rightfully called, but CC provided a player's insight.
Many in the gameday were quite angry with CC.
My issue wasn't his explanation which was legitimate. It was that after the person paid to know the rule explained to him why the call was made Chris got annoyed and pissy with him.
It's like dude you made your point and the official made his. Act like a grown up and move on. Instead he was clearly annoyed as you could hear it in his tone and argued before trying to conceded that he understood the why. It felt disingenuous though as if he only conceded out of an obligation to try and sound professional after have already made he's true feelings known. Too little too late.
I do tent to agree with him though after he gave his take.
That aside the officials in general did a poor job. I think the first 2 calls against the Bills were soft. As a Bengals fan I'll take em but if I'm honest they were soft and I'd be pissed if it were the other way around.
