Good move imo. Weird it wasn’t always challengable to me. Also agree it shouldn’t be missed on a QB especially, there’s a guy right there watching specifically for QB roughing shit.

You pointed out the penalties for players as a reason they would tend not to gamble, as it's not worth it to them. The referees making vastly less have more incentive.

Whatever dude, you just go live in your little world where no one is tempted to do things they are not allowed to do for profit and officials clearly looking at fouls and not calling them are just "missing them".

You didn’t read what I said fully. Sunset didn’t bring up gambling until you did. This is why I said his “quoted” post. You’re the one who brought up gambling and independently said the refs aren’t paid well. No one in this thread gave you reason to do so. You just did.
My OP was just meant as a jab but you’re being uber defensive about all this.

No need for the "whatever dude", I made a thread about uncalled facemasking. You attempted to turn it into a moratorium on officials gambling and profiting from dictating the outcome of games.

They are not full-time and not really paid that great, so the temptation for them to bet on a game they can somewhat control has to be great. No one can tell me they legit missed that many facemasks on Burrow. It would be different if it were a running back or receiver having their mask grabbed, but you are not even allowed to touch a QB's head. No way you miss that. Yeah, they ignored them on purpose and I suspect it has to do with money.
I agree and I do believe the Bengals would have quite possibly been in the playoffs had the refs not ignored blatant face masks but, it is what it is.

Yeah right. You wrote this....
Quote:What's puzzling to me is given how severe and blatant some of those facemask pulls and twists were, how did they go uncalled in the first place?
And I offered MY OPINION of why it occurs, to which you made the tinfoil hat remark. But I don't expect anything different from you anymore.

In the moment it seemed more like you were stating that was the reason. And the way you followed up with all of that mob nonsense, it really seemed like you were wholeheartedly in on that being the reason. No matter what the reason actually is, I just hope that the NFL gets it solved, and quickly.

The Mob stuff was not nonsense, it is a clear example of how easily it can happen.

Stop it, those rabbit ears on your tin foil hat are starting to grow again..
This might have been mentioned, but what's going to constitute a facemask penalty? Just a hand on it or does it either have to be a grip or a moving of the facemask?
I'm happy about this because it's pretty black and white, with not much left to personal interpretation, but one of those things that's like "too little, too late" for us.

How many were caused by Steelers / Bengals games.
I hate those guys.
Everyone celebrating this because of Burrow and talking about rules being made because of us getting screwed over by no-calls, remember that it's not just facemasks on the QB that can be reviewed....

...our only TD in the 2nd half of the SB (and the only reason we ever had a lead in that game), and 75 of our net 226 passing yards.

A face mask review depends. If Mahomes, if the defenders hand comes within 6" of his facemask, it is a facemask penalty.
If it is Joe Burrow, the defender needs to rip the helmet off of his head by the facemask.
the review will be conducted by Steelers fans Stevie Wonder and confirmed by Snoop Dog for Bengals games.

Hey, a facemask is a facemask, and they're dangerous. The differentiating thing about QB's is you are not allowed to contact their head/neck at all, so you know when the ref is looking right at it and not calling it, it's on purpose.
the way it will work is by giving out heavy fines, hit them where it hurts $50K for a facemask.. lesser fine for a lesser severity one. (wether its called on the field or not)
Kinda like the dumb penalties & fines Ocho Cinco used to get for having fun.

They've already been issuing fines for uncalled personal fouls, such as facemasking. This new rule will help ensure that the team will also benefit by virtue of the penalty in real time, a thing that would have helped the Bengals in a few critical moments this very season. Had this already been a thing, we might still be watching the Bengals in the playoffs, today.
