That said, I don't remember anybody in my section being outraged that it was ruled a fumble, and Hill still should have protected the ball better even if his knee was down (I doubt he was like "well my knee's down, guess I can totally drop the ball now").
As I said, the refs made plenty of bad calls throughout the course of that game, but the Bengals still managed to overcome all of them to give themselves an almost guaranteed shot at winning the game. They had the ball, with the lead, with around 2 minutes left in the game, mere yards away from the endzone, and they *still* choked it away. So while we can sit here and say "well if the refs had called this, or done this" (and believe me, I have), the Bengals let that victory slip right through their fingers.
I agree, they did implode and I usually agree with Truck and Xeno.
