I blame the NFL, instant replay, and the rules for what is or is not reviewable. 

The league will do nothing...except complain when people start saying that it's rigged to favor certain teams.  Blame the fans, not the officials.

Even the officials should have got that one right but on replay it is simple, clear, and accurate.  But we don't use that.  

On some level I think the NFL is fighting technology.  Meaning the more that becomes reviewable, the more demand there will be to review even more and that is a slippery slope, especially if you want to keep the human refs involved. 

We are on the bubble, lol.

Watching this defense today I’m reminded of the line from animal house when the old dean told Flounder, “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son”

only with this defense it would be, “no good, slow and stupid” has no chance boys

HOW IS SOMEBODY NOT ATTACHED TO FIELDS!!!!!!!!????????????  Just sums up this defense this season in a nutshell

“If there is life on Mars, even they knew Fields was running the ball.”

- Rex Ryan

Most YAC allowed since the stat has officially been tracked.   Just short of eleventy thousand. 

Perhaps replay could have also shown Pickens being tugged to the ground by the back of his helmet on the pick 6.  Or the dozens of false starts by the LT on offense.  Game might have still been going at that rate.

Bengals got a gift on that play for sure.

It was true though. As soon as Fields entered the game, it should have been known why.

The Bengals definitely got a gift on the pick six, I won’t argue that at all.

An MVP year for Burrow. If the Bengals were just good enough defensively to get into the playoffs, Burrow would be in the MVP discussion.

He can put  all the stats he wants he but he can't win games.

He fumbled and through an interception yesterday that is on him.

Bengals got a lucky pick 6 on the first score. He grabbed Pickens head and through him to the clearly a penalty. The refs where terrible yesterday.

Yeah they were overall very poor.

Not by himself. He has won 4 by himself. Very few if any players win games by themselves in the NFL.
