I am surprised that no one on here was talking about the officiating, but then I remember how the TV crews painted the steeler playoff game in 2015 when I re-watched (puke) the game later on DVR and coaches' cuts.
Throughout the game, our interior pass rush...most Geno...was getting good pressure. Time and time again, He was basically wrapped up and thrown to the ground. One of the sacks, I think it was Dunlap got him as Geno was falling with a steeler draped around him in full on body-wrap mode. Not one holding call all night. Meanwhile, a bogus hold called on Gio takes away a TD.
I hope someone makes the vines of all the holds, but I would imagine the league didn't show them, at least not intentionally.
The out-of-bounds play on Bell was a clear case of how a bad call changed a behaviour. We saw WJIII get a personal foul (unsportsmanlike, which is key) for an altercation when he was tied up with a steeler player. It should have been on both players, but it wasn't and it shouldn't have been the one (unsportsmanlike) that could get him ejected if he had one more. With Jones injured on his INT, we were down to nothing backing up WJIII, that is why he let up on Bell on the sideline. Bell's foot was right on the line. If he was called out, the replay couldn't overturn it, but of course, it wasn't called out and replay similarly couldn't overturn it.
Piggy had a flop that would make the soccer world proud and got a drama queen "oh, my arm" as he laid on the ground which drew a flag for roughing. Dalton took late shots all night, and one square in the back of his helmet (with a helmet)....no flags.
Dre had a PI call in the fourth quarter that was a beautiful defense of Brown. It was complete bullshit. The steeler defenders pushed AJ out of bounds and cut him off on routes all night without a single call.
The NFL has lost me. These games aren't real, and the Bengals have virtually no shot when the NFL wants two team with the same record going head to head next week on top of the NFL schedule. All I can say is go pats...I think you actually might get more calls than pitt. Hope you pound them.
