Awful NFL officiating.

Do you know how many times Roethlisberger takes illegal shots and blows to the head and doesn't get a call?

Look no further than Sunday when Carlos Dunlap speared Ben in the chest and there was no call.

And before you claim that was clean, then why was Courtney Upshaw flagged for the same hit two years ago?

Haloti Ngata breaks Bens nose...no call

And then there's this

And then there's the Granddaddy of them all

Notice this is the same Pete Morelli from this past Sunday, so there go your cute little photoshops of Morelli in black and gold stripes

Seriously, you are delusional if you think that the refs "have it out" for the Bengals. 
Bad calls happen for sure. But they happen to everyone, you just notice your team more than any other. 

LOL!!!!

You're actually going back to THE REPLACEMENT REFS to get your examples?

And the best you can do for Sunday was one potential "spear" (let's just forget that the definition of a spear requires a launch and Dunlap did not launch). It is possibly roughing the passer, that I could see. For a REAL example of spearing see Mike Mitchell launching off his feet leading with his helmet at AJ Green - only a duck by AJ prevented injury:

This should have been an immediate flag for flagrant personal foul as the obvious intent (since his hands were NOT extended to try to grab the ball or anything) was spearing. 



Meanwhile there were multiple flagrant no calls favoring the Steelers, a TD wrongly ruled incomplete and a really dumb fumble call. 

Sorry, but finding four "examples" over 11 years is not proof of any kind that there is no bias. Not when other teams can point to it happening multiple times flagrantly in a single game.
