Seeing the Rams get 3 penalty calls on the Bengals - on successive plays - on the Rams last ditch drive while playing in LA across the street from NFL Network...yeah.
The Bengals had 2 penalties the entire game, then wham. Los Angeles needed the calls to win in Los Angeles, and they suddenly got them.
Starting to question why I even bother with this thing. Some of you go on about conspiracies, but if you really believed them you wouldn't bother. Only a moron would keep following a sport he thought was "fixed". I refused to believe so, because humans make mistakes, but the ending to this SB was a joke.
Maybe I just need to move on and find other uses for my time? It's not like I'm going to miss the Cowboys winning another Super Bowl.

should always criticize bad officiating. And that last Rams drive was certainly worthy of it.Cant people just stop this nonsense
They were letting them play until the end. Then they got picky..I agree you are exactly right and everybody I was watching it with commented exactly the same.
The officials seem to stay out of this game for the most part .
It was a good game to watch moved along well without a lot of penalties until the Rams got down to the goal line then that bogus holding call pretty much gave them enough downs to get a touchdown.
The face mask and that holding call or both game changers
Yeah I remember thinking in the third qtr how great it was that the officials were staying out of it. You did have the two lowest penalty teams in the NFL there.Didn’t seem to be many flags until the end. Then they got picky. Flags kind of swung the game.
I thought they missed the face mask but the closest official was on the sideline so it’s understandable he didn’t see itOverall I think the refs did a good job. The PI at the end was the only call I really hated.
my thoughts are I would much rather the refs hang on to their flags on a boarder line play than throw it. Just let em play, even the missed calls I really don’t mind unless it’s just overwhelmingly obvious. It’s the ticky tack called flags that I hate.
If they were gonna call that holding call that I didn’t think was a hold then why did they miss the big time face mask on the TD pass. How do you miss that but see a ticky tack holding..Yeah I remember thinking in the third qtr how great it was that the officials were staying out of it. You did have the two lowest penalty teams in the NFL there.
Then in the last few minutes they decided to get some screen time.
I agreeThey were letting them play until the end. Then they got picky..
Yeah the holding call was something that happens every play and rarely called. It makes it look like it’s throwing the game after missing the face mask that was legit..I agree
The calls were legit I think but they didn’t call them earlier
I just hate that a really good game ended up being decided by penalty over play
On a side noteYeah the holding call was something that happens every play and rarely called. It makes it look like it’s throwing the game after missing the face mask that was legit..
I am, and yes. However, the call in question was actually holding, and was pretty blatant.
Lol. Good idea. Sounds like something bellycheat would use.On a side note
I think if I was a coach, every player on my defense would be wearing gloves that match our opponents jersey
Orange gloves on white jersey kinda asking for a flag lol
