Refs did it again

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I turned the game off early yesterday for a couple of reasons, and I believe it's the first time that I've done so in the entire time that I've been a Bengals fan.

The calls were bad, and remain inconsistent week to week, and game to game. The refs are just too damned prominent in the game, and have decided far too many outcomes for comfort. (The main reason the NFL is dropping in ratings)

The Bengals were massively undisciplined. When they weren't getting bad calls, they were committing bad penalties. It's been a common problem since Marvin Lewis has been the coach, and it's only getting worse. He should not have a job today. He does though, and will continue to.....maybe even beyond this year, which is sickening.

The game got violent. Not just undisciplined, but criminal. I don't particularly care for that....from either side. I know that football is a barbaric, violent sport by nature, but when it gets personally violent, I'm no longer entertained.

My interest in football has been diminishing in recent years. I almost don't want to even watch these games anymore.
