unleashed Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looked like a lebron move by Iloka a little bit, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the refs to notice that shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Bengal Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Makes up for the no-call when Smith threw Adam Jones by his facemask in the first game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think it was a good call. Smith blatantly throws him to the ground and the official threw the flag immediately. Trent Green and Bart Scott both commented that Iloka "flopped" but it seems more like sour grapes to me. Yes, it wiped out a huge play that would have won the game. That is a penalty according to the rulebook and the official made the call. Plenty of shit doesn't get called throughout the game and there is no rule to "let 'em play" at the end of a game. Tough break but it was not some crazy injustice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBengalsFan Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Iloka certainly sold it, but not in the sense that the action on its own wasn't a blatant penalty. He put his left hand on Iloka's neck,, his right hand on his back and ripped downward. Not even a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble In the Jungle Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Glad we got that call. I hate Steve Smith now. He's a little dirty fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyBengal Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 In this day and age when you can't even breathe on a wide receiver in coverage, I think it's only fair that any contact the other way should also be called when the receiver tries to gain an unfair advantage by pushing off or pulling down the Defender. Hence, to me, this is the only correct call, no matter how "severe" the contact really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengals7833 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I think it was the the right call but I'm shocked it was called. I've seen alot worse that was a no call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Ohhhhh... thank you so much for posting that. The local talking heads on the radio call in shows are saying it was a phantom call and drama by Iloka. Well... yeah, some drama, but you can see the Raven bitch pushed him in the chest. So many calls against the Bengals earlier in the game... nice they got one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 The flop helped ensure the call was made, but it was the right call regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Notice how Smith pulls Iloka's jersey - watch the shield on the front of the collar. The refs didn't give Smith that penalty... Smith gave Smith that penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincity Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Iloka was in perfect position, he's a good 5 inches taller than Steve, there was no way he was coming down with that ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The whole damn thing happened right in front of me. I had my flag out before the ball was even caught. If they did not call that one, there are no legitimate rules in this fucking joke of a league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SooneraBengal Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Iloka was in perfect position, he's a good 5 inches taller than Steve, there was no way he was coming down with that ball. 7 actually (6'4" to 5'9") which is the point I was going to make if it wasn't already on here. It would make absolutely no sense to deliberately flop in a situation (basically a jump ball) where he had such a big advantage. It was a very subtle shove (Smith's been around the bend in this league, he's not going to be blatant about it), but it definitely was there.

Hooky Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Looked like a lebron move by Iloka a little bit, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the refs to notice that shit A lot of the analysts are calling it a flop. If the ref was on top of the play, it shouldn't matter if he falls or not. Anybody that doesn't think that it was a good call is a hater. Even Mike Carey, who has had a perpetual boner for screwing us over, agrees. Rodney Harrison, who would rather have a full cavity search than take sides with the bengals, said it was clear as day. Mike and Mike were adamantly hating the call. Plug in the Jets for the Bengals and see what would've happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith gave Smith that penalty. This. IMHO Iloka doesn't flop and he doesn't attempt to sell anything. All he does is fall down, with plenty of help from Steve Smith the Elder. In retrospect if it's a controversial call it isn't because it wasn't a blatant penalty, it's because absolutely nobody thought the ref would make the call.

|SF2| Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey, when you are back peddling and someone strong pulls you back wards its pretty easy to fall down. It was the correct call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 There's no way Iloka flops on the off chance he gets a gracious call from a zebra in the last minute of the game. I'm sure he would rather take his chances defending the play against a midget reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
