re: The meltdown over the Bengals/Raiders call is ridiculous

I agree. If anything calling “by the rule” would’ve been an even worse call by taking away a touchdown on an official error

The rule is clear. The officials didn’t follow the rule
You can't whine about the rule about the erroneous whistle without acknowledging the rule stating when a whistle should blow.
So yes, the officials didn't follow a rule, when they blew the whistle for a thing that never happened.

You can't get more cut and dried than that

An IW is a IW at ALL levels. As an official you own your errors, especially IW. These guys completely ignored this fact, the NFL is covering their mistake. No one will ever know if this affected the outcome.

Yeah the right result happened by ignoring the rule. Implementing the rule would have resulted in a team actually being cheated out of the true result.
It’s not really debatable.
You four downvoters are some delusional, butthurt individuals.

I simply can't say the Raiders were screwing because they didn't get lucky that the refs didn't bail them out with a random whistle because the reverse would have not been the correct call, it would have been the Bengals vienf screwed even more. So in that regard, I can't think it's really even.
The Raiders got a similarly favorable call later in the game when they motioned for timeout but the play was run. The result of that play was a roughly 30 yard Bengals gain to the 6 yard line, so it all worked out in the end.

Please explain what ant DB could have done to make a play when they were nowhere near the ball and at most, stopped a legit split second before the WR caught the ball.

It does not make a difference if a player would have or would have not made the play, the rule is: “live ball becomes dead”, replay the down. The officials covered themselves by saying the ball was “dead”.

And again, tell me the rule on when the whistle should blow.

Were the refs trying to take away the TD? Which one blew his whistle?

You can’t say this

The ability of the media to make anything a controversy is exhausting.
Yes, the ball was like 2 feet from the receiver's face when the whistle blew. One of the CBS dummies even said "look at the defender stop". This expert would have us believe the player could stop that quickly??

Officials screw up all the time. IMO this was a legitimate TD and disallowing it would much more damaging than any fallout from ignoring an IW. Honestly can anyone say the TD wasn't earned?

The very rare 2 wrongs do make a right scenario.

This is one of those rare times where common sense overruled a dumb technicality and I’m completely fine with it.

I'm more upset that the clown Jerome Boger was picked to call a playoff game after his atrocious year - not just including the "roughing" call the Titans got when Tannehill's nameplate was slapped. The more bogus call was the Raiders getting *their* roughing call on that last drive, flag thrown by Boger unsurprisingly.

So take the TD off the board, I don’t recall the down, but if FG range, say they make the FG. Fast forward to 3 Qtr, Raiders down by 10, take away the TD, after Raiders kick FG we’re tied at 16. Bengals get a FG 19-16. Raiders follow up with a FG, tied again at 19. At this point Bengals are willing to run out clock, punt over to Raiders. They drive down field, eventually intercepted on 4th. This is why I said No one would no, because the Bengals would have approached their last possession differently.
