On goal line, the offsetting penalties cost Bengals a TD. IF no holding call on Bengals, Mixon would have been given a TD on review. Ball crossed before his elbow hit, you can look it up. So refs not only called a penalty on Bengals they also marked him down short. Neither seem indicative of refs nudging Bengals to win. Boyd had to adjust his helmet after the hands to the face...do you really think if the roles were reversed you wouldn't agree with that penalty if it was on Hill?
On Pringles TD...the flag was thrown well before it was obvious he would return for a TD and he was obviously held. The refs had no way to know at that moment of the penalty he would run it back.
I thought the unnecessary roughness call on Chase was BS and there was a ticky tack PI that was also, I thought, a bad call. Otherwise it was a pretty typical Bengals game as far as penalties go. We are one of the least penalized teams in the NFL.
You guys are passionate fans and hurt by the loss so I am not trying to stir sht up. Just trying to bring some opposite view points. Peace

Welcome, and agreed. There's always a lot of bias that goes into these threads, as with any forum for any sport, and we often ignore or blindly accept whatever happens on the opponent's side of things while diving head first into any supposed wrongdoing for the Chiefs.
And when there are obvious calls, like the holding on the kickoff return, it becomes a slope of "that's never called" or "you can call that every play".
And if you're part of Bengals Board, tell your mods to lighten up a little and allow other fans... it's more fun that way.
