Got them at 32

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and the team aren’t thrilled with the officiating from Ron Torbert’s crew coming out of the Week 7 win over the Cleveland Browns.

A few examples come to mind that might irk Taylor. But based on his comments to reporters on Monday, the big one is the flag Torbert’s crew actually picked up involving Ja’Marr Chase.

To keep it short and sweet, officials threw a flag on what seemed like pretty clear pass interference by a Browns defender. But officials then picked up the flag, citing the pass as “uncatchable.” Problem is, the defender stopped Chase’s route and the ball only landed five yards in front of the two players.

It was a silly turn of events, hence Taylor telling reporters he’s “waiting to hear” from the league — implying it is one of a likely few plays the Bengals sent to the league office for further explanation. That’s not an uncommon practice for all NFL teams weekly, but this occurrence was pretty out there.

Despite all this, we probably won’t hear about this again. But Taylor and the Bengals are at least right to point out the likely multiple instances of officiating miscues from Sunday.

Yeah.

But thinking of Trey Hendrickson flattening the hyphenated quarterback and rather than a roughness call on him two flags were thrown on the Browns.

The lining up off sides on the Guard was... pretty ticky tack.

AND... I was waiting for Brown to be called for stepping on the line during the opening kickoff run. 

Officiating sucked for both teams.  Not as bad as vs The Kansas City Refs and the Baltimore Refvins but...

 

 

The holding call on Volson that wiped out Chase Brown's 30 yard gain was also suspect.

Thanks for posting.

I kind of thought so, too, but Volson is the board scapegoat.

Torbert has no business calling NFL games, or any pro sport. Almost like the "bad calls" aren't really bad in the eyes of his employer.

That was not holding he piles drives j ok no other way to put it

^ About once a game now, Volson blocks so well that the refs just assume it must be holding. 😡

I know that being an NFL starting QB is a thing that only 32 men on the entire planet can do during any given week, and every one of these dudes is far better than ME at the job, so I suppose it's comforting to know that I'm AT BEST the 40th most skilled person to play QB for Cleveland's current football team.

I was getting ready to jump on 16 and 19…but then remembered that was a different franchise located in Baltimore.

Cincy Magazine’s take. 

I don't think the writer understands how to use the word "extraordinaire." He refers to Sample as a "blocking extraordinaire." But it's an adjective, not a noun. I guess he..."could care less."
