THE NFL AND REFS ARE BIASED IN FAVOR OF CERTAIN TEAMS... PERIOD.
The sooner you accept this reality the better off you'll be.  I just laugh at the obviousness of it, anymore.

1) A Bengal watched a Steeler run past him for a touchdown. Why?


2) The Bengals let the the Steelahs. Score at the end of the first half with virtually no time left on the clock.

3) The Bengals committed a cheap shot on a touchdown pass that put them in a hole they could not get out of.

4) Their star receiver dropped an easy pass for a first down.

5) Marvin blew a 17 point lead at home against his arch rival.

And there you have it.

Pathetic.  That's the kind of sloppiness that has become Marvin's MO with this team. No halftime adjustments.....the list goes on and on and on. 

That being said, even if we bring in Lombardi and Bill Walsh and Mike Ditka as our new coaches, none of it is going to change with the league and their biased officiating until the son of Paul steps down, retires, or kicks the bucket unexpectedly.  I'm convinced he pissed in Goodell's cereal bowl one morning and the all powerful Roger has it out for anything Bengal related. Hence the biased officiating. So, until he's gone......Apathy is how I will deal with being a fan of the orange and black. 

























oh ya.....and **** the steAlers and their organization.

Minutes before the game started I honestly thought there was only going to be 35k people (roughly half full), but they spilled in around kickoff.

Throughout the game, our interior pass rush...most Geno...was getting good pressure.  Time and time again, He was basically wrapped up and thrown to the ground.  One of the sacks, I think it was Dunlap got him as Geno was falling with a steeler draped around him in full on body-wrap mode.  Not one holding call all night.  Meanwhile, a bogus hold called on Gio takes away a TD.

I hope someone makes the vines of all the holds, but I would imagine the league didn't show them, at least not intentionally.

The out-of-bounds play on Bell was a clear case of how a bad call changed a behaviour.  We saw WJIII get a personal foul (unsportsmanlike, which is key) for an altercation when he was tied up with a steeler player. It should have been on both players, but it wasn't and it shouldn't have been the one (unsportsmanlike) that could get him ejected if he had one more.  With Jones injured on his INT, we were down to nothing backing up WJIII, that is why he let up on Bell on the sideline.  Bell's foot was right on the line.  If he was called out, the replay couldn't overturn it, but of course, it wasn't called out and replay similarly couldn't overturn it.

Piggy had a flop that would make the soccer world proud and got a drama queen "oh, my arm" as he laid on the ground which drew a flag for roughing.  Dalton took late shots all night, and one square in the back of his helmet (with a helmet)....no flags.

Dre had a PI call in the fourth quarter that was a beautiful defense of Brown.  It was complete bullshit.  The steeler defenders pushed AJ out of bounds and cut him off on routes all night without a single call.  

The NFL has lost me.  These games aren't real, and the Bengals have virtually no shot when the NFL wants two team with the same record going head to head next week on top of the NFL schedule.  All I can say is go pats...I think you actually might get more calls than pitt.  Hope you pound them.

But that is the thing, we all knew the refs would help out the Steelers as they always do, have to play aggressive in the
2nd half and put the game away. Once again under Marv we go conservative and let the other team back into it.

Thank God for the Pats as you say, otherwise this team would always be in the Superbowl with the clear bias that goes
on with these darlings. Watching the highlights it is pretty hilarious how the announcers call out plays like the Geno
roughing the passer call and say you just cannot do that or the Iloka head shot but are pretty quiet about the really
dirty plays like the Schuster hit.

Everything about that hit was dirty and they just said he shouldn't of stood over Burfict. The hit was dirty, he shouldn't
of made that hit, the mocking was just icing. Hate ESPN man, hope these guys lose MNF.

To them the blind side dirty hit on Burfict was no big deal and the Geno roughing the passer was out of line.

Bunch of dicks that think the Steelers can do nothing wrong and our guys do nothing right.
