But there's no question the refs slant things towards those who complain. Sometimes the flags come out well after a play and seems correlated with the players immediately complaining.

The best of the best whine and get the calls, imagine getting face masked and just sitting there - I don't get that part about Burrow.

It's probably been instilled in him since his pee wee football days that you can't control what the officials do or don't call, and the only thing that you have control of is your own actions.

I'm not happy with Burrow being great, mr. somewhat nice guy and winning zero rings, but I'm just a fan so it doesn't matter lol.

Literally every other subjective call I can get but a facemark, I have no clue why he wouldn't say anything. Just grab your facemask and adjust it for 5 seconds at least, he doesn't even do that lol.

This new rule will help ensure that the team will also benefit by virtue of the penalty in real time, a thing that would have helped the Bengals in a few critical moments this very season. Had this already been a thing, we might still be watching the Bengals in the playoffs, today.
