the fix is in

[Brownshoe]

I don't know if the league is fixed, but I do know that the refs changed the outcome of the game. We could have won that game. The defense stopped the Patriots multiple times, but they gave them ticky tack penalties to extend their drives and get points. Then when there's obvious flags FOR our guys they look the other way. If the game was called fairly we could have won. Would we have won? IDK, but it would have been a lot closer, and there's a huge chance that we could have. When there's holding call on Og on a big play to Green that makes you scratch your head. If a defender is face guarding Green in the end zone and there's no flag you scratch your head. When we get bad defensive holding calls after they couldn't convert on 3rd and forever you scratch your head. When their defender is allowed to hold onto our receivers arms (both Green and LaFell) you scratch your head. If a Patriots offensive player literally grabs a Bengals defensive player by the face in front of the ref and there's no flag you scratch your head. If all of these things happen (and I could be missing some since it's off the top of my head) you have to know that minimum this game is being poorly officiated. Then you have other games like the Steelers game earlier this year... It really makes you think.
