Lost in the outrage over his BS explanation about why the Shazier hit wasn't illegal, he also found time to rub salt in our wounds by confirming that the refs blew the call on that play.

Yep.  Was that a third down?

That Parry dude probably shouldn't ref another game in Cinci for at least 5 years.
Well, a few of us have known right from the start that it was no catch. It was an impressive athletic feat, but it was not a catch by anybody's rules, and it wasn't even a hard call, at least on review. The ball is obviously moving around all over the place when he has two feet in bounds, and pinning it to your leg as you make a one foot stab at the end zone, was the only thing for the reviewers to hang their hat on.

It was a ridiculous call, but, of course, it was the NFL's beloved Steelers.
This means the Bengals are playing this weekend then since the Bengals scored more points right?

It means nothing now so who cares?
All you can do is sign the petition.
They should be playing the game over on neutral ground with neutral officials and postpone the other games a week, but we know that ain't happening since the fix is on.
Thanks for the hindsight!

****-faces.
This is us.

And this is us with the NFL wiping their scum covered ball sacks all over us.

**** the NFL.
