“OFFICIALS SUPER BOWL THREAD- BENGALS @ RAMS

Game was lost on 3rd and 1. This is a team with Burrow, Mixon, Chase, Higgins, Boyd, etc., and they put the ball in Perine's hands. That's inexcusable. That just can't happen and it should stick with Zac Taylor the rest of his career.
 
Defense played great. They’re going to feel sick over the penalty. I know Burrow is probably in tears.

Hated the run call on 3rd. Felt Burrow would’ve at least got them to a field goal if the play calling wasn’t atrocious.
 
the rams are the better team no doubt. they have an all-time defense. however the bengals defense played well enough to win the game. which is crazy. and they might have if not for that call. it is what it is.

The only “TD” pass Burrows throws the entire game was a flagrant offensive PI 75 yarder, and Bengals fans are crying about the refs 😂

The Bengals are more likely to miss the playoffs next year than win a playoff game. You were a 4 seed and it showed.
 
Again, ball miss-spotted 2 feet. All got to edge of L.
Yeah I'm not a fan of either but the less referenced issue, to me, is that the spot on third down put them a full yard away when you can easily see on replay that it was close to the marker. If it's spotted correctly they may just go qb sneak. Unfortunately, it's up to the NFL to make that decision, it can't be challenged.

A 4 seed that beat Tennessee and Kansas City on the road. If you don’t think the Bengals are good you’re a bigger idiot than I thought.
 
He just looking to argue. Just talking out his ass, because his head knows better.
LOLOL honest to God, you’re right. I really was just looking to eff with the Bengals fans because they’ve talked such nonsense lately. All in all they should feel ok about their season.
 
And a missed spot call on the long Chase reception, and a play that Higgins was held on in the end zone where Ramsey tugged him by the jersey, which was much more of a hold than the hold on Logan Wilson.
Not a missed spot call. Chase’s leg made contact with head of defender
 
Yeah. But at this point it's still essentially adds for fossil fuel powered vehicles, since most electricity in the US is generated by coal and natural gas.
Yeah that's what I get a kick out of with the electric push. I'm not totally opposed to it per se I guess...but by the time you factor in the electric charges and the eventual disposal and/or replacement of the car battery it's really not a save the earth deal.

Are you a Steelers fan or something? Bengals usually don’t generate this much hate.

Actually, even the best NFL teams are mediocre - as intended. I mean a 14-5 team vs. a 12-7 for the championship involves greatness?

Did it twice didn’t they?!

The Bengals needed better play-calling. They cost themselves early going with 2 straight running plays on 2nd and then 3rd and 1. Whole field was open to them on 2nd and 1, but they run slow developing plays on the ground.

They lost the game because, as many feared, they could not protect Burrow enough. Cincy will be back, IF they can shore up the OL and land a great pass rusher on the outside.
 
Marino, Brees, and Rodgers never got back to the Super Bowl. Nothing is guaranteed. Missed opportunity.

Bills seem like they’re on the cusp. Chiefs are the Chiefs. I’m sure the Pats will be back. Hoping Joe and the Bengals can get back and win a few rings.
 
Bengals were up 20-13 with 10:15 left in the third quarter. They proceeded to shit their pants by going:

3 plays, -3 yards
5 plays, -2 yards
7 plays, 24 yards
5 plays, 26 yards

4 drives, 45 total yards

End of game

Yep.

The Bengals D played well enough for their team to win. 2 picks and timely, heads up plays. It shouldn't have come down to that last drive. Only one of the 3 PI/holding calls on the Rams' game-winning drive was a bad call.

The offense is what did them in. The missed blocking assignments and bad play calls hurt. So did the 25 yard loss on 3rd down with the sack and PF. Rams looked like a team and staff that had been there and weren't afraid. Bengals looked tentative with the lead and overall play calling by comparison. Burrow looked like maybe the only one unphased by the moment.

Has to be disappointing for the Cincy players. Coaching staff can't look at this game and think they did their jobs well enough to win the game, though. GM needs to finish building this team. No excuses.
