I'm puzzled as to how quick the announcers called that a catch...thinking Mike Carey even quickly agreed that he had total control. The league has what it wants though, everything can be reviewed and be whatever it wants to be. Nobody knows what a catch is anymore (especially going into the end zone) or what an illegal hit is. I get that we will sound bitter no matter if we agree that Pacman and Burfict were idiots, but the DeCastro and Shazier plays were right up there with the coaches grabbing our guys' hair and going onto the field to taunt them. The sport has always been about entertainment, but it's getting too political I wish the casual fan would watch the game instead of "duh Burfict a thug, karma got eeem'"
I rarely talk to football fans for the very reason you mentioned at the end. Casual fans just don't get it. When it comes to their NFL knowledge it isn't good, but their Cincinnati knowledge is even worse. I hate when people talk about the Bengals like they know anything about them lol. Andy Dalton is a choker and the Bengals have a bunch of thugs namely Burfict and Jones. That is the average perception of the Bengals, YUCK.
