Sure, they swallowed the whistles and let them play…..but they still affected the game.

1) On the first long pass to Chase, he should have been marked down by contact at the 3, they marked it at the 9. They ended up with a FG.

2). The TD to Higgins was obvious PI by him and should not have happened.

3) The Defensive Holding on Logan Wilson on the Rams last drive was terrible. Should have been 4th and goal.

There were only 5 or 6 penalties the entire game.

Bengals had no answer with the run game shut down in the second half.

My wife is usually a "sunshine pumper" when it comes to games, but she actually recognized they didn't throw flags the whole game till the rams got in scoring position and needed a TD to win.

That's how bad it was....

My problem with the officiating is they let them play all game and then with the game on the line decide to make a game deciding call. Makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense...

My dad said, back in the 70's, they control, or manipulate , the game through officiating. There's too much money involved.

He was suspect back then.

Interesting how officials are really never held accountable, there's never any TV reporting with officials, and they run straight off the field never to be seen after the games.

I was telling my friend in the 3rd qtr that the refs are surprisingly not getting involved. Spoke too soon.

That holding call where the bengals defense batted the ball down is bs. That was a momentum killer since it would’ve forced a 4th down.

Y’all are ridiculous. Ramsey got facemask yanked to the ground and y’all are mad about the one called on the Bengals LB.

It was a weak call considering what they didn’t call, but it should have been called on Higgins and you all know it.

The officials did nothing but make the game more interesting. Would have been 13-17 or something if the refs call Higgins and don’t call the Bengals Lb

You’re assuming I’m a Bengals guy. Was actually pulling for Whitworth and Rams. I just hate that officials have so much influence. All 3 of the mentioned calls can be overturned if procedures were put in place.

The dbs for the Bengals could have been called many many times just from watching them review plays. That was all game long.

Yep, they held the flags all game on both sides. You knew they were going to eventually call one on the Bengals for a make up call.

That’s the way it goes.

Why should a coach on the sideline have to challenge when there are officials from LA to NY that can simply tell the guy the correct spot? Stupid.

Facemask should be challengeable. It's not subjective.

There have been a few missed facemask calls the last few weeks of the playoffs, including one on Joe.

That no call was to keep people tuned into the game. NFL was going to make Rams win. Hence the dirty laundry in the final 2 minutes.

This is not correct.. Ramsey hits him in the back with his left hand... so that leaves only 2 bad calls that balance each other out

Let’s not forget the hold from Jalen Ramsey on a Bengals receiver at the goal line in the first half. He literally had ahold of the guy’s undershirt. Bengals would have had first and goal at the one. Instead they had to settle for a field goal.

If that’s not pass interference or holding then neither is the call against the linebacker on the final drive.

We were robbed of 4th and Goal at the 8 with the Super Bowl on the line.
