Burrows out of bounds?Whistle

[Jowframs]

Everyone clearly heard a Whistle
Didn’t even look at it
Refs got to get that over

[Tanko]

Yeah. Whistle blew. Play should have been ended. No TD.

[d2bets]

How could they possibly miss that? Boggles the mind.

[Seattle Slew]

Every game, guaranteed, you not only get blown calls but just outrageous blown calls.

Officiating is at an all-time low in the NFL, and that is saying something.

[ThaTopMoron]

only job was to get raiders to the playoffs

that's what the refs reminded themselves of in huddle after play

[Bostongambler]

He was in bounds obviously, but they can’t review the whistle.

[thomorino]

With instant replay is ridiculous refs keep making these mistakes blowing the whistle early. Just let it okay out can clean things up later.

[MinnesotaFats]

Well....not sure it was a refs whistle.

Fan whistle, sure....

Refs had ZERO ISSUE calling that a TD

[johnnyvegas13]

Lol and now a time out by Vegas very strange here

these refs suck

[Bostongambler]

Another rule they have to change is anything questionable ( they will have to figure it out) has to stop play. Sick of this running up to the line to get a play off before you can throw a review flag.

[d2bets]

Well....not sure it was a refs whistle.

Fan whistle, sure....

That's take is as bad as Kirk Cousins.

[MinnesotaFats]

Well...speaking of retard rules

That foot out of bounds on Kicks = ball at 40 lol

[johnnyvegas13]

They just said nfl will have a statement on this after the gm

[pavyracer]

The officiating is bad. Refs doing all they can to give a win to the Bengals on a silver platter.

[Smokey McPot]

There is a reason why this is only Jerome Boger’s 7th playoff game in 16 years of officiating. He and his crew are consistently horrible.

[d2bets]

They just said nfl will have a statement on this after the gm

NFL Statement:

OOPS! My bad. Sorry bout dat.

sry we fckddd up.

[pavyracer]

The games lose legitimacy when rules are not enforced.

[johnnyvegas13]

Agree so what gonna happen here ref crew should all get fired cus they messed up bad and in a playoff hm

[GunShard]

Bengals bettors got lucky here.

[budwiser]

these guys screaming for the WRONG CALL lol
don't you know you shoulda called that wrong call..it shoulda counted dangit!!

[Eddy Munny]

What's the big deal? The whistle sounded a fraction of a second before the ball hit the receiver's hands. Nothing about the play really changed except everyone's reaction following the touchdown. The play itself was unaffected.

[TheMoneyShot]

Any time Fred G. Sanford is the referee.... the sh## hits the fan.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

They just said nfl will have a statement on this after the gm

Refs had a bad game.

[Kermit]

NFL said they made a mistake and will make sure that it doesn't happen again.

It was a TD no doubt. I just lol @ the explanation from the NFL that none of them blew that whistle. Was it someone in the first row? WHISTLE-GATE, WHISTLE-GATE!

[hehfest]

Its just become comical really. Seeing them stand there not knowing what to say next so they wait and pause, then go and meet up with the other officials. Mass Confusion and Mass Chaos.

[Seattle Slew]

Tirico was acting like it was the biggest blown call in history. I agree, the whistle blew a second before the receiver caught the ball. The Raiders didn't stop on the play, they weren't in position to stop the TD in the end zone anyway.

How about the roughing the passer penalty Bogar called in the last drive? 15 free yards. We see these every game. You'd these refs would keep the flags in the pocket on the last drive unless is obvious.

[pavyracer]

This is the problen with having 7 umpires with whistles. In soccer only the ref can blow the whistle. The assistants have flags. The judge shouldn't have a whistle. Just a flag and then the umpire can talk to him to find out what the flag was about after play was over.

[johnnyvegas13]

Great can I get my raiders wager back then

[pimike]

The right team won

[Seattle Slew]

ESPn now reporting Boger won't work more playoff games. This is not a big deal, OMG.

Why is everyone piling on this ref for this one blunder (OK, two, with roughing the passer call)? We'll see far worse today and tomorrow and the league doesn't do crap.

Bad spots happen on every other play and those damn sideline officials never get called out. What about the assclown who didn't flow the PI flag in the Seahawks-Rams game a few weeks ago? What happened to him?

[Snowball]

Cincy would have gotten points there anyway and probably won.
The Raiders had their shot and failed.

It was a blown call, but the rulebook says an inadvertent whistle is not reviewable
so the booth couldn't overturn the call

Now, that rule should be changed.

[AribaAriba]

Cincy was the better team. Cincy deserve to win and raiders lost coz they suk balls.
