A Bengal has his hand outside the frame for a millisecond and it's holding (touchdown return) but the guy basically tackled Brown when he had Allen in his grasp and it's a big play. Add in multiple other hook the rusher to the ground holds that get called on the Bengals all the time. And then there's the forward fumble out of bounds that looked clearly recovered before Vigil touched out of bounds.The problem is we signed players during that time. Pacman, Gilberry, Newman, and Nelson were signed during that time period. Also Brandon Johnson, Thomas Howard, and Manny Lawson. So that's seven new starters.
I really hate bitching about Officials because it's just something that you have to overcome. But it seems like we're now in an NFL where the "new stars" like Allen are getting the calls that used to be reserved for the Mannings and Bradys.
But my biggest gripe is people who gripe about the defense when that's the only thing that kept them in the game today. We're talking about a defense that played 23 minutes in the first half and only gave up one touchdown in that time. That's not bad.
