Raiders fans will be talking about this for years on the RaidersZone…..
Even though it made no difference at all.
Good to see that they're being held accountable....Referee Jerome Boger and the crew that worked the AFC wild-card game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals are not expected to officiate again this postseason after their problematic performance Saturday highlighted by a controversial whistle.
The NFL grades officials after each game, and Boger and his crew are not expected to receive high marks for Saturday, when they ruled that a whistle occurred after Cincinnati's Tyler Boyd caught a touchdown from Joe Burrow -- although replays appeared to show otherwise.
The league usually takes officials assigned to the divisional round -- not the wild-card round -- to work the Super Bowl. But officials that earn high grades this weekend could and would be under consideration for the Super Bowl.
One league source did not express surprise at Boger's performance; others around the league have commented on it during various points of the season, and the NFL has received mixed reviews for mixing its officiating crews in postseason games, taking officials from different crews and assigning them to work together.

There's still plenty of other horrible options out there.
A TON of bad calls on Bengals too....especially that "roughing" call that extended a drive late 4thEven though it made no difference at all.
This.That 1 second prematurely blown whistle would not have prevented the TD. The nearest DB to the WR who caught the TD was at least 3-4 yards away, not close enough to disrupt the catch.
