THE NFL AND REFS ARE BIASED IN FAVOR OF CERTAIN TEAMS... PERIOD.
The sooner you accept this reality the better off you'll be. I just laugh at the obviousness of it, anymore.
I agree with this. I didn't even bother watching the 4th quarter last night. I knew what was going to happen. and guess what, I woke up today without any BP problems, I slept like a baby, and I got to poke the wife last night. None of that would have been possible if I would have stayed up and watched that shit show in PBS. I am officially off the Marvin bandwagon, I want him gone at the end of the year, I'm tired of seeing such sloppiness from this team. The WJIII play that should have pushed Bell out of bounds was the straw that broke the camel's back. You don't see Super Bowl worthy teams "tackling" like that. Pathetic. That's the kind of sloppiness that has become Marvin's MO with this team. No halftime adjustments.....the list goes on and on and on.
That being said, even if we bring in Lombardi and Bill Walsh and Mike Ditka as our new coaches, none of it is going to change with the league and their biased officiating until the son of Paul steps down, retires, or kicks the bucket unexpectedly. I'm convinced he pissed in Goodell's cereal bowl one morning and the all powerful Roger has it out for anything Bengal related. Hence the biased officiating. So, until he's gone......Apathy is how I will deal with being a fan of the orange and black.
oh ya.....and **** the steAlers and their organization.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the Rooneys lobbied hard for ol Rog, and good ol Dan personally informed him in his hotel room that he had gotten the job. Then they hugged.
Yeah, this really happened. Look it up. How else do they continually get fines rescinded, and no suspensions for questionable hits, while even the great Patriots get suspensions. There's a snake in the woodpile......
It seems that regardless of the sport,Refs have a tendency to call plays for the team with the best record!

Minutes before the game started I honestly thought there was only going to be 35k people (roughly half full), but they spilled in around kickoff.
2nd and 3rd deck look mostly empty....I wish I knew the “real” number, I think they are allowed to count the tickets they unload on 3rd party ticket brokers like 333-SEAT and online companies. There was def not 59k in that stadium!

I agree, and I'd like to add I saw a crap ton of empty seats at the Atlanta/Minnesota game too.

Jim O reported it was 59,029.

But that is the thing, we all knew the refs would help out the Steelers as they always do, have to play aggressive in the
2nd half and put the game away. Once again under Marv we go conservative and let the other team back into it.
Thank God for the Pats as you say, otherwise this team would always be in the Superbowl with the clear bias that goes
on with these darlings. Watching the highlights it is pretty hilarious how the announcers call out plays like the Geno
roughing the passer call and say you just cannot do that or the Iloka head shot but are pretty quiet about the really
dirty plays like the Schuster hit.
Everything about that hit was dirty and they just said he shouldn't of stood over Burfict. The hit was dirty, he shouldn't
of made that hit, the mocking was just icing. Hate ESPN man, hope these guys lose MNF.
To be fair, Gruden and McDonough called it like it was......
The Bengals self-destructed again. Stop blaming the refs for lack of discipline.

Jungle Noise is only for Bengals fans. However, you are free to post in any other section of the board. :andy:

Bunch of dicks that think the Steelers can do nothing wrong and our guys do nothing right.
To them the blind side dirty hit on Burfict was no big deal and the Geno roughing the passer was out of line.
Oh yeah.....my bad....yeah, I heard that shit as well. Clowns......
