Brutal call by the refs.

 

Just Brutal.

 

However...Piniero got another chance at CLOSER range...and he still missed it.

Moving the extra points back ended up costing the game. Good job, refs. 

Piniero had another shot at much closer range in OT....and he still missed.

THAT ended up costing the game.

And for the “I want to win the NFC south with a below .500 record” crowd

This team still controls their own destiny. If they can win in Cincy they’ll throttle Atlanta at home and we’ll be right back in it

Lol Burrow is gonna pick us apart even without Chase.

Panthers would be 4-4 without direct ref interference. 

panthers would have at least one lombardi had it not been for direct ref involvement.

Which is why I’m glad we lost yesterday.

OL still sucks.  Got to throw the sink at them and hope to get to Burrow before his WRs get open for huge gains.

there’s nothing tepper can do, he owes the league for conspiring to force the sale to him

it doesn’t matter how many games the league steals, he’s got to sit there silently and take it like a good little yes man

may as well find a new desktop ornament, dave

[rayzor]

every call should be challengeable. every call should have a booth review.

none of these clowns in the stripes on the field should be trusted...ever.

Basically.  And Jerry was a "shield first" type guy so he always let things go for the league.

That should end that debate.

Shouldn't have been a penalty, but DJ knew better. He put it in the refs hands and he immediately knew he made a mistake.

But... DJ is the least "look at me" WR in the NFL. Game winning catch after the 3rd down drop in the previous drive was redemption and no one should be blaming a man for showing emotion in the most emotional game in the world right now. The team had his back and got in position to win again. Pineiro's chip shot miss took the wind out of everyone. They were tired, depleted and demoralized after that.

considering what he had just pulled off grabbing that TD at that moment...it's to be expected that there be a bit of a celebration. of course the game wasn't over, but still he kept us in it when we thought we were out of it. that was a pretty exciting moment for me and i was just sitting in my recliner. couldn't imagine being the guy that caught it and one of the guys on the team. how long has it been since we'd had one of those moments? 

the good thing is i know now that we have players that can perform in clutch moments. i just wish we had a kicker that could.

Cam last year was clearly out of bounds but he was flagged. 
 

Im wondering if DJ came back into the end zone and that’s why they flagged it because it took a long time for that flag to show up I was sure it was an unsportsmanlike conduction celebration penalty not a removal of helmet. 
 

Either way the refs were looking for anything to throw a flag on. 

Yea I didn’t mention the Cam one when it was mentioned earlier because I couldn’t remember where he was. If so, that was an erroneous penalty too. Goes to show the only two times it was called that way when they weren’t on the field of play was against the Panthers…
