Not crying the blues but wen you watch these games you just have to shake your head on what is called and not. Today's game was another flags one side of field and nothing thrown on other. From the beginning the Bungals did a lot of pushing and shoving and getting in peoples face yet we kept getting the calls. Wasn't till the Steelers on the goal line did the officials finally call the Bungals on the pushing and shoving, which we benefit by a 1 yard movement of ball. .Spotting of ball, Bungal kicking the ball in end zone, possible interference in end zone just a lot of one sidedness which can cause a lose. Can you imagine Hairbaugh today, the game would still be going on for him having the officials talk to him.
 
Yeah....we were on the wrong side of all the questionable calls....once again. ******* Groundhog Day. We got a HUGE AFC Road Win though. **** those cheating ********.
 
I knew as soon as Andy went out the refs were going to be targeting us all afternoon.
 
We haven't had any high profile blown calls, but it seems like we get multiple bad or missed calls each game.

This is pathetic.. how this wasn't penalized is unbelievable.

Burfict sure is a POS.. has been since his college days.
 
During the game (actually drove over to watch it with Supe), announcers said the Steelers were least penalized team in the league.
 
Somewhere out there on Twitter I think Charlie Batch tweeted a play in the first quarter where Burfict purposely dives at Big Ben's ankles as he throws. Thank god he wasn't hurt but you could clearly see it was intentional and should have been called. Burfict is a piece of ****!
 
I think it's pretty well documented that the league considers Ben Roethlisberger a "tough guy" mobile QB whose play puts him those injury situations. If we're any other QB that would have been called, as would have the helmet to helmet from the Seahags game.

It's a conspiracy. The Steelers would have 0 penalties if it weren't for the refs screwing them.

it's not just the calls that go against us... it's mainly the plethora of non calls. Shehawks game was a prime example of non calls costing us a game. Antonio Brown was pretty much raped all game long.

And if you've seen any Seachicken games this year it happens all the time. I've seen Sherman tackle players before with no calls. But the Steelers knew it and still threw at him. At some point you have to realize that the refs are letting them get away with it and go somewhere else. But the Steelers are inflexible. They are going deep no matter what... so you are going to get picked doing that. Same happened today. Ben went deep again and got picked when it wasn't necessary. Double team, safety over the top, 2 deep safeties.... doesn't matter. Bombs away.

None of which excuses either the cheap shot that Burfict took or the refs' refusal to call a penalty on that play.
 
I noticed the one sided ****** reffing today, and onto other news. Blake still sucks ****.

I claim my ignorance in this regard, but what was illegal about Brown's block on the DB?

It seemed clean to me,

I think because it was below the waist on a crack back. I believe you have to engage the player above the waist if you are going to crack back.

Hope Burfict gets his. Total loser. I'd say the refs tried to regain control of the game but only looked at one side of the field to do so. You reap what you sew Vonte. If Dalton is out for 6 weeks it will be another one and done season for the Bengals. I thought the Crack back call against AB was stupid. That was a perfectly legal cut block. There were two or three uncalled PI's

On Jungle Noise Bengals board you would think we had paid the Refs ourselves. Amazing how the perspectives can be so skewed. Someone claimed the Refs gave us the game the whole fourth quarter.

Well that's pure gold. Look at the penalty numbers. Exactly what call are they referring too.

Yeah, I've since looked into it. It was definitely the right call, but what a weird rule.

I understand if the defender is engaged with another blocker, but the defender was by himself in the open field in this instance.
 
How the refs continue to turn their heads and allow players to hit Ben below the knees is getting ridiculous, and how could they not call anything when Burfcit kicked Decastro in the face mask?
 
And you know it's F'd up when week after week Mike Carey explains and gives his call and it's always wrong
