Did you watch the first part of this season? Defense is reason we are in the playoffs.

As for everyone else who is complaining right now. Offense had one less possession than the Raiders and we are still up by 7 points and get the ball at half. Offense has scored every real possession they’ve had the ball. I know facts and a reasonable point of view have no place in the GD thread so I’ll see myself back out.

Try to enjoy our first playoff win guys! Life is a lot more fun when you enjoy the good things!

I think everyone here is actually enjoying it, they just don't express it in the same way that you might say is normal. lol

Defensive line needs to get off blocks.

Yeah, you don't want give up a shorter route over the middle. Trust your defensive line to make a play and bet on a longer throw over the middle having less chance of success.

It doesn't matter if he should have blown it or not.  The fact remains he did, and therefore the play is over at that moment.

Had the been the Raiders offense on the field you would be losing your mind about awarding the TD.

Only leading by 7 and giving up an embarrassing TD right before half? The playoff win is FAR from being even probable much less assured.

No because it’s not like the whistle affected anyone

[masonbengals fan]

Right where we want them.

[*Nately120*]

So the game is rigged for us, so be it.

[*Synric*]

Whistle was blown with ball in the air. It was a TD.

[reuben.ahmed]

Chris Simms said we'd be picking in top 5 in the pre-season. Mute when he speaks!

IT EFFECTED EVERYONE!  THEY ALL STOPPED!

[TheFan]

Drops, penalties, and mistakes seem to be saving our defense more than anything. Really hope we have our 2nd half adjustments and lock it down.

[Sled21]

Dungey can take his whistle comments and stick the up his....
The ball had been thrown inbounds and was a fraction of a second from the catch. No way it affected the play. I;m actually more interested in why the ref blew it. Gambling debts or orders from NY.

[Shake n Blake]

F these halftime guys.

The Bengals made mistakes too. Settled for 2 FGs. Yet we're still up. I loathe biased coverage.

[bengals67]

Am I imagining this or are the annnouncers pulling for the Raiders.

The whistle was blown as Boyd caught the ball. No one stopped.

Lol and had they not allowed it and the Bengals lose by six you would have been losing your mind.  Plus, don't even act like you knew that was the rule before you heard it on TV.  Hell half the announcers didn't even realize it so don't even act like you did.

No one stopped. Did you see any of the DBs freak out over it? No, because it didn’t affect them.
