Bengals @ Steelers Game Thread

Not only that. It was a horse collar as well. 

[volcom69]

My gosh I really hope they find a coach that will be competitive in these games, hopefully there is one back there at halftime

[cincy9275]

You have to feel for these players. They have the other team, the refs and their own damn staff against them.  

[volcom69]

Ugh he had him deep there crap!

[volcom69]

Pitt will never get PI calls I swear! 

[Stripes]

Vilma is driving me nuts.

That's what I've been saying. The roughing on Sam then the pi on us. I said if that was the other way it don't get called.  The sack before halftime was helmet to helmet . jj came came down on Joes head no to mention it was also a horse collar. They showed it clear as day before halftime. No call. Its nothing new. Its has happened for years. When you suck the refs think its a mistake by you. More than a foul from the other team. 

[Stripes]

That's a catch. And I have a feeling we're about to get robbed.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Yeesh, Burrow throwing everything high right now it looks like.  Might be a catch there for Boyd though.  Great effort.

Looked like a catch to me. 

[Stripes]

The slight juggle at the ground may be enough for the officials to wimp out and stick with the call on the field.

[Stripes]

Whatever.

[cincy9275]

That balls out. Two calls in row the refs rip off the Bengals. But there's no bias right? Amazing. 

[Stripes]

lmao and that was absolutely a fumble

[volcom69]

Runner stopped no fumble, screw this the NFL sucks so bad anymore. If your not a fan favorite team then who cares what happens hate the NFL the last couple of years.

[glasgowbengal]

Getting absolutely hosed by these refs 

[cincy9275]

I've said for years the NFL is a fixed league . if you are not favorite. You do not get the calls nor do you get the same treatment from the refs. They will take points and turnovers from you. To make sure certain teams win. Those are facts. This game shows you that. A catch and fumble plus penalties. Given to the Steelers to make sure they have a advantage. Ben happening for years. 

[Stripes]

Yeah I still don't buy the conspiracy. There may be implicit biases refs are guilty of succumbing to sometimes, but there's no league-driven initiative to screw the Bengals. I see them benefit from bad calls all the time too.

It's much easier to notice and to remember when you get robbed.

[volcom69]

Just don’t know about this coaching staff they are just not very good. 

[Stripes]

Vilma is such a doofus. That ball was there for Green and Green failed to catch it.

It's not just the Bengals. It's team they don't see es favorable. You seen it today. Penalties fumbles catches. All go one way. It's not new. It's not a conspiracy either. It's clear favoritism to certain teams and players.

Burrow and the Bengals aren't going to get the same calls as Brady and the bucs or Ben and the Steelers. . That's favoritism. It's been that way to damn long. 

[cincy9275]

Two weeks to get ready. Then get stomped 36-10!  1-9 in the AFC North. Just disgusted....  

  

[AMPHAR]

Very rude reminder of how far off they are. 
 

They are probably 10 starting player upgrades away from being able to compete at that level when a team that good is playing good.   Hopefully some of the guys out today can close the gap

 But still need to scrap some cap space and start adding all kinds of FAs and draft picks.
