Counting today that is six times just this season where Burrow has taken a late hit or a blow to the head and the refs did not flag it. And remember the same thing happened in the AFCCG late in the fourth quarter - and had that been caught we likely go to the Super Bowl. How does the team get the NFL to put the refs on notice about this? And don't say it can't be done since it WAS already done this season by the Lions with regards to Jawaan Taylor, illegal formations and false starts. And the NFL DID alert the officials and the result was the very next game Taylor got flagged repeatedly and finally benched over lining up wrong.

Does this team have the guts to do what Detroit did and make it VERY public?

No. Believe it or not, Cincinnati isn't protected by these rules. As a matter of fact, if Goodell was the President of the U.S., he would nuke the entire city from orbit. It's that bad.

I catch a lot of Bills games.  Seems like Josh Allen takes 1-2 dives per game.  Mahomes also does some "selling" of  late contact.  Maybe that's what it takes to get calls, but that type of play acting is bad sportsmamship if you ask me.  Glad Joe is a tough bastard, even if he does dress goofy.

Burrow may need to do a bit of selling but we also need Zac and others to be pointing it up very publicly. Get it out and make sports media take notice. That was how the Jawaan Taylor problem got fixed and back in the day was how the issue of refs letting Michael Irvin push off constantly got fixed. Turn that publicity heat up and the desired result (NFL putting refs on notice about late hits on Burrow) should occur.

Just as long as President Goodell doesn't dis the chili.  

They need to be sending these plays into the league office and pointing them out to the king idiot Goodell.
Also the rules need fixing so that plays like Readers are not roughing the passer. They want a 350 pound guy moving full speed ahead to twist his body so that he doesn’t land completely on the QB? What a joke. Reader landed on the QBs legs/hip area anyways. Just a stupid call.

Terrible. But the guy who dives in at Joe’s head while he’s going down gets nothing.

Exactly. This is a major player safety issue and doesn't even need a rules change - it just needs the zebras to enforce the player safety rules across the board and consistently.

Josh Allen has become a whiny ***** ever since he’s become a “superstar”

That was total BS. Reader wrapped him up perfectly. These guys are not ballet dancers.

Make a video of every hit to the head Burrow has taken in his career that was not flagged just a few sec clips not waiting for flags. It should be a long video this has been going on since Burrow came into the NFL like lap said it is nothing new normal for us. Then Bengals fans need to do their best to make it go viral.

F'n ridiculous call.... 


But if they are gonna call it, Joe deserves the same protection.

Until the cheap ass nfl makes the modest investment in full time officials who spend all week watching film like everyone else who is out there on Sundays you are going to get wildly inconsistent calls on personal fouls, holding and pass interference.

Someone on bengals I can’t remember who got away with a “hold” in the end zone that was way worse than the total BS call on our middle linebacker that probably cost us the Super Bowl. No pi call last night in bills giants on last play. Don’t expect consistent application of rules with part time officials.

And instant reply doesn’t end inconsistency. Ask anyone you know about VAR and EPL.

We got calls last year...It seemed like Joey B was becoming the NFLs golden boy.

Then all the shit with Buffalo happened and it seems like since then the NFL ***** hates us. I guess the NFL and Goodddell are taking "talk shit get hit" literally.

Perhaps, we did 'rob' the NFL of their dream money making scenario for the AFC Championship between the Bills and Chiefs.
