I would laugh but this is the truth.

Anyone has to be better than John Parry. Was it a coincidence that the last three Stealer games were utter train wrecks of officiating? And what they all had in common is John Parry?

It is a foul when Cincy does it...I remember Whit getting a holding flag in that hold-fest.

This just makes me sick.  I sent a copy of it to the league offices and to the Bengals.  I'm sure it did nothing...I mean, we are the Bengals, but I can't believe some of them that allowed Piggy to escape and they happened RIGHT in front of the official.  Worst officiating job I have ever seen.  And we have seen some bad ones.

To Mo Egger's point on his recent blog...the week 2 loss was a crusher.  If they win that and go 2-0, I think the season turns out much differently than it has.  Mission accomplished, NFL...mission accomplished.

Marv does nothing about it. Nothing.

That's because he was hired and continues to be extended by an owner who is just like him!

Think Harbaugh would take that shit?  Hell, no.

Hoping to be wrong, but I think we see much of the same tomorrow.

The Ravens just aren't as exciting of a team offensively, and EVERYONE knows that! (Particularly the NFL)

Miami must not have got that memo...

Pete Morelli did the last game.

Yep...a ref whose team made so many mistakes in 2015 that the NFL replaced everyone on it for 2016

My bad. You're right. The last game was Morelli - it just felt like Parry because of the blizzard of poor calls and missed obvious holds.

Don't forget that they also took away a TD from us, and ruled a fumble on a play that might not have been at the end. We got jobbed hard that game.

Parry's a good ref; unless it is the Stoolers, he's always been fair.

I don't know how any ref from the Morelli crew got off without a fine/demotion/termination after week two; just complete horseshit.

Why would anything have happened to them? They did exactly what they were instructed to do.
