It doesn't matter whether it's Bengals fans, the media, other NFL fans, etc. the crying over the Chiefs/Bengals game is like nothing I've ever seen before.
There wasn't some super obvious bad call/non-call either like the Saints/Rams that one year.
Is it because it's the Chiefs? Are we really in everybody's heads to the point that they're losing their fucking minds?

Would Gene or any Bengals fans or any of these dipshits like to talk about the free timeout they got?
No? Anyone? Hello out there? Anyone wanna talk about that?
....didn't think so.
I was certainly yelling about it at the actual game. I’m guessing it wasn’t even mentioned on the broadcast. [Reply]

I'm not a fan of any of that stuff. Both Nick Wright & Skip Bayless are way too condescending in their presentation style. But I think it would be hilarious if they put them together as polar opposites. Shannon Sharpe is too much of a nice guy IMHO. It would be more entertaining to see someone push back harder, more forcefully on Skip's bullshit. [Reply]
1 clear and obvious Chiefs 1st down taken off the board
Countless holds.....
Among other things of course.
And the Chiefs benefitted from what exactly? A completely legit personal foul?
This kind of dumb shit makes my head explode.
Don’t forget a long punt return taken off the board that would have given us the ball in FG range at the very least. They also wiped a Burrow int off the board that took a minimum of 3 points off the board and allowed them to get 3 points before the half. If the refs were really on our side, we would have been up at least 37-10 going into the fourth quarter. But yeah, the refs were on their side because they had to redo a 3rd down which resulted in us punting from the exact same spot on the field. [Reply]
I thought it was common knowledge that the refs COULD call holding on every play, but only call it when it's blatantly obvious. Sure there are ticky-tack calls, but most of the time the refs will let them play [Reply]

Yeah but in this case, letting one particular holding and/or block in the back occur is "Bengals got robbed worse than we've ever seen!@!!" [Reply]

Yeah, the whole thing is silly. I guess being king of the hill for so long comes with a price [Reply]
