This was an awful non call.  Game changing.

It’s where I began thinking we were fated to lose.  Good thing I am not a player hah.

edit: Well the NFL is blocking the evidence hah

Yeah. There is no way the Rams are Super Bowl champions with Jared Goff right now.

There is no way Goff leads the Rams to beat the Bucs, the 9ers, and the Bengals the way Stafford just did.

Stafford looked shaky to start the season. He had a rough stretch in the middle, with some very bad picks.

And the man was clutch when it mattered most. Absolutely clutch.

As mentioned in the other thread — I think it was. I confuse them these days — to me, it isn’t the grabbing. It’s Wilson basically tried to go through him to get to the ball. He got there before the ball was thrown.

And I know it’s extremely difficult for DBs in most cases. The best do next to the impossible. But you can’t go through the receiver before the ball gets there. That’s should be a PI call.

This is worse than saying they blew it, imo. He did twist and turn, and it caused Ramsey to lose his balance. Ramsey was inside that guy’s jersey, and could have picked that pass off. Dude flung him out of the way. There’s no way that wasn’t a flagrant penalty. The ref blew it, and should just say so.

Yes, it was simply a blown call.   Coulda been called a ‘facemask’ or ‘pass interference’ but it was clearly a blown call.   Frankly, i havent even heard of a sane Bengal fan that disputes that.

Jalen actually handled the aftermath well, I thought.   He coulda just had a melt-down over that, but he just went on to the next series.   Short memory.

to me it was not a foul. however, shannon sharpe made a good point. on the previous play hendo does get held on his route. i watched it again and the defender definitely grabs his jersey.

not to mention the missed call on the facemask on ramsey.

in the end the bengals got away with one (or two) and got burned by one.
