We were the 23rd most penalized team on defense last year, i.e. we weren't getting flagged nearly as much as other teams. As I said, they will get it across when they hand out the fines next week. Missing the flag in game isn't enabling anything, but I'm sure the refs will be downgraded for it.

I see your points, and I don't think there's a conspiracy about the Bengals, but the inequity of the calls in the playoff game and the revision of fines handed down to the Steeler's after the fact was a glaring example of inequitable treatment by the league.  I have no idea whether that is because they thought were treating another team preferentially or just minimizing their mishandling of the game for the 2nd week in a row.

I don't think we're all just a bunch of histrionic homers on this.
