I'm not of the camp the game was rigged. But the officiating was atrocious and officiated by part-time officials whose main jobs are as middle school principals and high-school teachers and salesmen and farm owners and tax accountants -- all playing under the glare of a high-pressure game in front of a massive KC crowd. And they wilted big time. 

I'm not so ready to bend over and pretend to be the Washington Generals and just take it.

Here is a link to some of the comments:

It’s called confirmation bias. Want to go to an echo chamber where people pool together a few tweets from the 10,000 people out there that support your position, then yeah, there’s a few.

I had a long drive and have heard some talking heads, but they too say it was the poor play that did the Bengals in. Officiating was poor, but it is in every game. When we lose, that is the go to excuse. People were crying rigged every week until we eventually won. It is the go to excuse. Always someone else’s fault. If the bengals did one of a DOZEN things, it would be a Bengals/Eagles Super Bowl.

Instead, people pick 3 or 4 things that happen with officials for why we lost. It was pathetic when the Ravens did it. When Bills fans did it, now it’s pathetic when Bengals fans do it.
