It probably happens so fast they don’t see it.

Or they are just blind or just ignoring it, the Burrow face mask could be seen 10,000 miles away...

Must be mistaking you for Marshall Teague lol

it's their prime time TV slot, so if they were to try to screw the Bengals, the whole country will see it.

I didn’t see your game but it’s possible. I just hope that they are blind and not just ignoring it.

That guy isn’t Marshall Teague. It was the villain who Chuck Norris went undercover on and busted him at the end.

It’s understanding the bills wouldn’t play. All it took was the Bengals to say “we’re ready to go” and the nfl could have deemed it a forfeit and skip over all this chaos that happened. The bengals played hard ball and said we’re also not playing.

BS.  ESPN fact checked themselves and declared themselves right.  They're just covering their own ass.  Nobody outside has confirmed their version of the story. It was specifically denied by the rules analyst at the NFL that they cited.  Zac Taylor's own statement that they weren't pressured contradicts it.

ESPN is not your friend.

Ok, cool.
As you may know, he played the Dean in Animal House.
I thought it cool to relate our team to the unruly hooligans revolting against the establishment in the movie.

I'm far too ugly to resemble that fellow.

Ahh, so many Walker Texas Rangers hard to pin point one guy ha ha

One of the best TV shows ever BTW.

Sure would be better if they were just blind for sure. Just incompetent is all, we seriously need to get permanent refs that are paid 
and that is their sole job as Joelist was saying. This on the side BS isn't professional and it is costing team's games.

Thr nice thing about legalized sports betting is you have LESS chance of shenanigans from the officials or the league not being noticed and turning into huge issues. Huge swaths of money are wagered on both sides, and there is a vested interest from the books to make sure this cash cow isn't disturbed by calling into question the integrity of the games. The big books are generally making money no matter which side wins or how many points are scored.

I don't think Goodell would risk his 60 million dollar a year job and get himself into legal issues to get petty revenge on the Bengals.

I love the one where Walker goes undercover as the new Principal. Remember that one?

I'd guess it makes for great water cooler talk when the part time refs go back to work on Monday at their accounting firm....

As far as I can find, Clay Martin seems to be pretty much average in terms of penalties. Seems like a kind of let ‘‘em play type of official. I expect to see missed calls going both for and against. Will not be surprised if there is a critical call that goes against the Bengals. Nothing new, just have to overcome the zebras as well as the Ratbirds.

Well that is good news, was dreading it if we got Boger for this one.
