I know a certain population out there hates any discussion of this subject, so feel free to just move along.
My concern is not what happened in today's game, but in the San Diego game, and what seems to be a trend in many games involving the Bengals. I am THRILLED with the way this offense is moving the ball. I loved what the defense did with the exception of a few big plays. I am not trying to be Negative Nancy, but if this officiating crap continues and it ends up costing the Bengals a game which could lead to losing home field, etc....
Here is just a few things that I saw today:
1.) A critical play on (I think) third down and around 10, Dalton lofts one to Eifert down the left sideline. He is not wide open, but has a step on the KC defender. As the ball approaches, Eifert has one arm blatantly grabbed by the defender and tries to extend his opposite arm to catch the ball one-handed. No flag thrown.
2.) TWO TIMES, a KC receiver is hit as he is making a catch and loses control of the ball when it hits the ground. According to the NFL rulebook:
Item 1. Player Going to the Ground. A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete
What am I missing here?
3.) The Jeremy Hill 2 point conversion was plain as day to 60,000 folks at the game, but one of them was not the line judge on the field. And before some moron chimes in with "it doesn't matter all scoring plays are reviewed", this was not a scoring play since it was ruled unsuccessful. Thank God the replays are not done by the same officiating crew.
4.) Geno, Dunlap, MJ, Gilberry, were held a TON of times....and no call. That's fine, if that is what is going to be called for both offensive lines. Ask Zeitler about the consecutive holding calls. Bullshit.
Marvin needs to make a tape of all this shit and send it to the league. He needs to get it taken care of before it costs them a game.
