The Bengals were jobbed and the only NFL people that will every say it are a few of the Bengals players.

I know I'm just a drop of water in a lake, but I'm not watching their garbage product for the rest of this year.  I'm shooting for not even knowing who is in the Super Bowl, or who wins.

The league better not fine Porter, Shazier, or Mike Nutsack either.  Just let it go.

FINALLY a fair analysis of the game. Thank you!

100% for that idea right there!

I watched this on Monday cause I was curious about what they would say and I was pleasantly surprised. I really didn't expect to hear them blame the refs for the mess but I was glad to hear them speak the truth. Props to them!

They were spot on in their analysis.  
The referees absolutely took the game and gave it to Pittsburgh.

I watched it as well, and it's one of the few times every one of them had the same CORRECT opinion, always been one of my favorite shows, even moreso now!

The irony of that picture is, given the perspective, Tomlin and the Referee are holding hands.
