Gotta feel good for those Bengal fans

The Bengals felt in control and like the team that would win the entire game.

 

Raiders gave it a good shot to give it a fun ending, but Cincy deserved to win IMO...they were the better team.

I think it's a bit much to say the Raiders stopped playing on that whistle.

 

Its true but the play is dead when the whistle blows.  Thats the rule.  It would be the same if the whistle blew and a player fumbled like at that point.  No fumble.

I wish they wouldn't make a big deal out of that whistle. The WR was wide open, and it was a great play by Burrow.  The injustice would have been calling it back.

 

There has to be some judgment there. If the defender was right on him, sure.

 

Rules are rules though.  Remember the fair catch judgement call vs the Bills on the kick return???

Not disputing the rule, disputing whether it negatively effected the play. However it turned out one of the teams was getting screwed and the Refs screwed up.

They screwed up the remedy for the initial screw up though.  So they basically doubled down on screw ups

Great play but a rule is a rule

 

fgs instead of tds will lose you a game - ask The raiders today 

 

those last 4 plays and the unnecessary downing the ball didn’t help either

Carr wasting valuable seconds and a down on the spike unnecessarily was really dumb.  I never know why teams dont do the fake spike like Dan Marino in that situation! or try a fade that only the receiver can catch or its incomplete.
