Don't forget 2 false starts by Cincy, one uncalled and one somehow became 'encroachment' (because RIGGED) that kept Cincy on the field.

It's not consistent because a billion dollar sport doesn't want to pay the money it takes to create consistent refereeing.

We stopped them several times today only to see some kind of bullshit flag come flying.....

It certainly looked like it with the timing of every penalty. It was like watching the SB all over again in terms of timely penalties extending drives time-after-time.

It's pretty damn convenient to "throw" the second flag..that the TV crew never mentioned, to offset and give them another chance.

When they false started and called Jones for encroachment, I knew it was over.

it was just soooooo blatant.

Was Andy part of the rigging? Should have allowed Bengals to score the TD when you still had 2+ minutes on the clock and multiple timeouts.

They've also trained people that if you complain about refs you're a loser, bitch etc and we wonder why football sucks now.

LMAO ...... This place after a loss

Then we stop them on 4th down and oh well, flag on both teams....then only to be followed by a hands to the face call on us to seal it

The NFL absolutely has and always will rig games.

Nobody allows anyone to score.

And if they did and lost? They'd look like quitters.

Looks pretty obvious that the NFL decided they want every team competing week 18...

The Raiders/Chargers week 18 for a playoff spot...cant you just feel the excitement? Rams in a last second win...*chuckles*

Chiefs arent out of it...Titans could lose next week.

They want KC in the wildcard round. It's as simple as that. They do not TEN vs LVR or some shit drawing awful ratings.

What sucks is that we couldn't GIVE them a field goal on 3rd and 27 and let Mahomes go for the win despite the NFL's preference.

I get the "just let them score" idea, but has that ever happened before in an actual game?

I knew it when they tool back the TD run by Pringle. Yes, it was a very ticky-tack hold that had nothing to do with the play and happens every play...but for some reason it had to be called there...probably to keep us from going up 21 at half...
