That second game vs. the steelers was the most egregious I have ever seen. Have you ever been to a game and seen one of the Bengals RBs start to break away for a big run and seconds later, you see the back judge throw a flag. I call this one the "just in case". It will be called holding and I will look at the so-called offending party from multiple angles on the coach's cut and there wasn't even an ounce of holding. I used to put clips together and send them to the Bengals because it made me so mad. But, eventually, I gave up.
If you didn't see the late hit on Dalton that knocked his helmet off RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GD OFFICIAL where he was hit late (foul 1), he was hit with the crown of the helmet (foul 2) and he was driven in to the ground after releasing the ball(foul 3) then you missed a huge example of the bias against the Bengals. I actually think if Burfict had done that he would be done playing for the season.
This is why I wish they played a more aggressive scheme and would attack other teams with each possession. Marv reminds me of a dog that has been beaten so many times that it won't ever even raise its head. He's gutless. Tomlin may be a first-class assbag, but after destroying the Chiefs he questioned the NFL officiating to do a better job defining what is excessive celebrating. He didn't go after his offending player (Brown), he didn't just enjoy the win, he bitched about something he didn't see as fair...and the NFL immediately sent every team a video answer and description of what will be deemed excessive. Marvin would chastise the offending player and never dare question the all-powerful WWF..or NFL, sorry.
I agree that Marvin could be more aggressive in defending his players, but I don't see any conspiracy. I read an article that said on average there are 12 missed calls per game. Think about the size and speed of these guys, the rate at which the game moves. Now tell me they are going to see every single thing. It is human error, not some evil plan to keep the Bengals down. And for what it is worth, I'm a member of a Facebook group that has fans from all over the NFL. They ALL ***** about missed calls and things the officials got wrong.
