No fouls all game but a big defensive holding on 3rd and 9. Then another penalty. Fixed
LMAO at superbowl final drive

- Start date
Yeah, I was cheering for the Rams but that first holding call was just bad. The second one was legit.
I mean, they missed a clear offensive penalty on Higgins which allowed him to run 75 yards for a touchdown so ...
Yeah , I was for the Bengals because of my friends and family Bengal fans, but I told my wife ”the refs owed em one”.
They missed a blatant false start on the same play as the holding call. Wintworth jumped crazy early.
I mean the first holding was soft but the defender had both his hands on the guys hips so it looked like holding. Cant blame the refs for seeing it that way.
Bengals got away with a huge facemask TD, so chill on the fix talk.

It was a no name Superbowl. The 49ers should have been in this we are the biggest draw even bigger than the cow boys
The announcers didn’t even mention it. I thought it was pretty obvious on TV.
If im not mistaken it went from 3rd or would be 4th to 1st with the missed false start too bc of the hold. Really tough break
The refs didn’t call anything until the Rams needed a TD.
Not even close to true. The cowboys generate more money than any nfl team by a mile. And that is in spite of not winning a playoff game since the 90s.
The winner of these NFL Super Bowl games are often predetermined.
We're being played into thinking it's "random."

49ers are trash! I hate that team
The big call for me was the roughing in the end zone, when the Rams was called for holding. It would have put the Rams outside of the 10. I guess you can’t hit a receiver anymore.
You folks that think these games are fixed just because your team doesn’t win are pretty out there. There’s a secret consortium of 100 people that plot the outcome of all NFL games, yet nothing is ever leaked. Amazing.
Ramsey held at the goal line in the 1st half by pulling a Bengals WR shirt which resulted in a FG rather than a 1st and goal at the one.
Lets not let that play get lost in the mire as it turns out it was the difference between the Rams winning and losing.

How about the terrible spot on the deep ball to Chase in the first half? Defender didn’t make contact. Chase makes a great catch. Gets up and runs and is tackled at 5. But they spot back at the 10. That was HUGE. Percentages of scoring TD drastically different.
This is why the holding call late was made. It was technically a correct call but not consistent with the rest of the no calls during the game.
If Rams fail there, the score winds up 20-16 and all the talk is about the winning TD being an obvious missed call.
That’s why the call was made imo.
Go back and watch. There was contact between Chase’s leg and the defender’s helmet. One camera shot showed it.
But again Ramsey held at the goal line in the 1st (a blatant hold on a Bengal WR t -shirt and nothing), Cincy had to settle for a Fg. Thats the difference in the game right there.
Long as it keeps Bungles from a chip,, I'm fine with however refs called it..
Lot of bad calls all around.. but it does seem that Cincy had the worst of it.
Bengals beat themselves. Boyd dropping that 3rd down pass, letting cooper Kupp beat you the last drive, and then that terrible 2nd and 1 where they basically threw it away instead of trying to pick up the 1st down, which eventually led to their demise.
Kupp is amazing tho. He hit the WR trifecta this year, so idk if you can say that the Bengals "beat themselves" there. Kupp was getting his either way.
This Super Bowl just made me cringe thinking of the teams who get put in Duke's draw with Coach K making his last "run". No dog in this fight at all but I come from a skeptical view on Pro sports these days and when a Billionaire spends a couple billion on a new Stadium and it's empty for the opening year due to a Pandemic.....well I'm not shocked they were playing at home, got 3 home games in Postseason and are attempting to build a fanbase that doesn't exist/won't exist or sustain. They are like the Angels in LA--interesting but nobody really gives a damn.
I'm becoming tired of sports as a whole. All of it. NBA, NFL, College ball.
Some people ask me why I haven't gotten into other sports like baseball or hockey.. and my response is that I just don't want to deal with more nonsense and theatrics. I tell people I don't want get involved with any more crooked sports organizations.
I mean we've had this year a WS played in the same stadium that people pressured MLB to move the All Star game due to political reasons. Nobody protested that, right? We had gone an entire lifetime without host teams in Super Bowls and now it's back to back years they have played at home of one of the teams who won the games. This one more controversial due to tightness of game. Understand your distaste.
Gotta love this Super Bowl too--LA was told their January 15th Mask Mandate would force Super Bowl to go to Jerry Jones stadium as a backup-they moved their mandate to this upcoming Tues instead. So Covid apparently isn't as threatening and masks only help the day AFTER Valentine's Day. LOL
Big business does what they want and what's good for their business. If UK has to play Duke at any point in the NCAA's.....not sure I can stomach that one. May have to DVR it and hope for the best. LOL
Alot of influence on sports now days. MLB is actually the cleanest off all of them but we don't care til the last month of season. NFL is garbage but we watch, and NBA is good with alot of stars to follow and UK guys so it's my favorite. As a whole sports has taking less meaning to me few years now.
Ironically titans and chiefs fans said the same thing and all the Bengal fans on here said hiw dare you.
The refs weren't calling our terrible offensive plays. Zac the teenage blunderkid was. But hey, the Bengals got him on the cheap and that makes it all good.
I mean the Bengals were gifted 7 points to start the 2H on that non-OPI call so if anything the calls on the final drive just evened it out.
Exactly! That was the worst call of the night. Then let the only guy left on the roster who can beat you (Kupp) just torch you on that final drive? Kinda funny. Then there is the horrid play calling the final 2 plays of the game. Bengals fans need to look in the mirror before blaming the referees. Good lord...
Exactly. They were gifted 7 damn points in a game they were having trouble scoring.
No. There was offensive PI not called on Burrow's first pass of 2nd half. Each team got burned once by bad calls.
That 3rd down drop was an absolute killer. Told my wife that when it happened. That would’ve damn near sealed it.
