November 5, 200619 yr Well then if we have true groundbreaking journalism why is exposing problems such as the poor state of officiating in the NFL not being reported. What percentage of calls do you think the officials actually miss. They may make a few bad calls, or no calls, but I think the officials usually do a great job.
November 5, 200619 yr What percentage of calls do you think the officials actually miss. They may make a few bad calls, or no calls, but I think the officials usually do a great job. I'd say as a whole they are great, but unfortunately things like the no call in the game today happen.
November 5, 200619 yr Steelers starting just like the Bengals.... That just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
November 5, 200619 yr Author From Lance... Opening observations *Goodbye division. Goodbye playoffs? Goodbye winning season? *87% of 1535 voters said this was a MUST win...oops *Two games back with 8 remaining....vs 3rd toughest remaining schedule in NFL *Lost 4 of 5, 4-7 in last 11, 8-8 in last 16, 11-10 in last 21 games. *In year four Marvin has produced a mediocre football team. In Marvin you wonder? *Somewhere Jason Whitlock is laughing and eating cheetos *Defensive gave up only 19 points and they lost....Defense allowed 14 in TB and they lost *If we are giving this team credit for not giving up down 14-0, then that is a pretty good indicator of how far the expectations for this team have slipped *After getting every break imaginable in 2005, they are getting none in 2006: Joseph had a pick he could return for TD broken up by Mason, Palmer pass hits umpire, Stover hits upright/still goes thru, bad snap fumble by McNair bounces back to him, Tory drops a pick at end of half, no interference on 4th down pass to TJ at end *What was so special about special teams?: Perry fumble, KR average of 17.0, Graham short kickoffs, poor KR coverage, Ratliff fields a punt at the six yard line. Penalties on kick returns twice. *You have a problem if your offense can't stay on the field and your defense can't get off the field.....ie 3rd downs. Offense 1 0 f 10....Defense 6 of 15/7 of 13 last week *Jeremi Johnson got his first carry of the year in game eight? *Carson had a miserable day...52.6 rating....and blew up Chad again on a high pass *Hey Chris Henry, if it's not too much to ask, could you at least try to break up an interception? *Anyone like to have Kelly Gregg back? *TOP Baltimore 37:24-minutes, Atlanta 37:08-minutes....Tampa Bay 35:07 *Bengals offense has had the ball just 22:26 and 22:52 in last two games *Preparing and adjusting?: Bengals have scored just 28 points in the first quarter this year....and just 19 in the fourth quarter.
November 5, 200619 yr What percentage of calls do you think the officials actually miss. They may make a few bad calls, or no calls, but I think the officials usually do a great job. A percentage is a misnomer. If you broke down game film, you could possibly find a penalty on every play. Now the decision is made whether that penalty is blatant or play altering. Now the flag comes out. Good call, bad call who's to say. My problem is with the blatant penalties that are missed. The announcers of the game today said the officials did a good job on the Chris Henry play that went to replay. Actually the officials made the wrong call ( fumle Ravens ball). IMO the officials have become way to comfortable in their situations. They are not required to perform at a top level, so they don't.

November 5, 200619 yr Well very tough loss today obviously! We can't seem to catch a break this year in 06. It all started back in the beginning of January with that playoff game, and it just keeps going. Maybe if we can somehow find away to get in the playoffs, that our luck will change and we will have alot of breaks go our way in the playoffs. But first we have to find somehow to even get to the playoffs now...
November 5, 200619 yr Anyone who blames one bad call as to the reason we lost this game has absolutely no clue.. So you're saying we get that PI call, you're guaranteeing not only are we going to score on that drive but that we are going to win on the road in overtime? Wow.
