I can't speak for everyone else....but aside from the need for offsetting penalties....I'm just sick of the media narrative that the Stoolers are somehow innocent victims in all of this.
It was a missed call but one that cost the Steelers.
They don't miss that call, Ben doesn't get hurt 4 plays later. Ben doesn't get hurt, the offense doesn't grind to a halt. The offense doesn't grind to a halt, the Bengals have less time to work with.
Average TOP per possession with Ben = 2:35
Average TOP per possession with Jones = 1:15
Refs don't miss that call, the Bengals have 3 to 4 less minutes of clock to mount a comeback.
