1) was that patten with the celebration after his td reception? yeah, that didn't get called. not consistent with the rules followed in penalizing houshmandzadeh last week.
2) dillon's knee was down at the 2 yardline for that first td, but they gave it to him, anyway.
3) rudi's knee was down before his "fumble," but they chose to ignore that.
4) patriots o-line was holding the ENTIRE GAME, and not one call against them was made.
i mean, the bengals lost because they allowed interpretable situations, certainly. but i'm sick of the refs calling out against us so consistently.

I'm a Bengals fan, and I'm upset that they lost, and I agree with #2, didn't see #3, and while #4 is true, everyone holds...the penalty is for getting caught.
But I can explain #1 because Marvin explained it in the press conference. Housh and CJ bumped chests. That's 2 players celebrating. More than one player celebrating is, by the rules, "excessive." Patten was celebrating by himself, which is legal.

Yeah OK pal, are you serious, they showed it like 10 times, ithe ball was out a split second before his knee hit. As for Dillons score, oh well, like they wouldn't have scored w/ 3 more chances on the half inch line. . Wah wah wah, better luck next season!!'By the way, that dance was frikan funny as hell, I hit the instant replay button on my Tivo like 5 times!!! Wear that bag like a man!!
some teams get the calls. bengals will have to work harder to be included. a classic example is that horeshiz interference call against shawn springs (covering TO tonight, wash vs phi). TO was mugging springs more than vice versa. oh well.
