These are the most annoying commentators I've ever heard

Need I remind you the score was 34-10? Get out of here with your silver and black sympathies. That team is a bunch of dirty no-good players. They deserved the whooping that got layed upon them today.

I'm pretty sure the yellow flag on that play came down in the area who basically fell over and who they said was called for clipping. So unless you go back and watch the DVR of the play and can find an obvious example of clipping on someone else, I'll assume your just trying to justify a bad call.

The fumble/TD that wasn't took huge wind out of their sails. If they get the TD they should have gotten (yes they did deserve it). Then it's 17-27 and the Bengals offense has been anemic the whole 2nd half. Not sure if Raiders would have come back all the way, but it sure woulda made things interesting.

I'm not a Raiders fan, not a Raiders apologist. What I am is honest. I'm not going to say the refs didn't make two horrible calls just because they happened to go for the Bengals.

I'm not a hypocrite. A bad call is a bad call. Regardless of the team. Everyone of the people on here saying the calls weren't that bad, or that they didn't matter would be on here screaming their heads off if the Bengals were in the Raiders position. They'd be on here talking about how the calls were momentum killers (they both were) and essentially took points off the board (they both did), how we woulda won without those calls (20 or 24-27 with momentum and 10 minutes left in game would have definitely made things interesting).

That's all fine. But everyone and their Momma knows when the whistle is blown. The play is over. Wrong or not... it is what it is.

Plus let me ask you this. Do you remember us getting screwed by a little thing known as "Not having possesion on a catch because the player did not make a football move with it"? Let's just say Sanu didn't have possesion because of a non football move. Ha ha ha ha!!

There's a solution to your crying. Remember calls that went against us and REALLY costs games like the pisspoor Gresham call against Baltimore.

Edit : The clipping call happened closer to the LOS. They called the wrong number. Tasker was going by something completely different because he was going by that number.

There have been plenty of bad calls against us (I remember a couple of "roughing the passer" calls in particular that may well have cost us the game). But I thinks it's wrong to only complain about a bad call if it hurts the Bengals. A bad call is a bad call. And I'm not going to say well it helped us so you know it was actually a good call. A bad call is a bad call and among bad calls that one was terrible.

The only good thing about that inadvertent whistle is that it might have been so bad as to get the whole rule reviewed and possibly changed. Then if it happens to us the result might have been less bad. I think even the refs knew what the result should have been (Sanu fumble, Raiders recovery but given ball at spot of recovery, no TD - then Marvin would challenge the fumble; though it appeared to me to be a fumble), but the rules were such that they had no choice after the whistle.

I'm just going by the everchanging NFL rules.

So you're trying to tell me Sanu made a "football move" after the ball entering his hands?

If so. Please explain to me what the F is a "football move"??

I also don't recall a single ref motioning to the Raiders side to indicate a turnover. Which they usually do when the ball is ruled a fumble then recovered.

Was that because it was not?

The Bengals in the 2nd half were absolutely pitiful (especially on O), the refs basically saved them. Without the refs it woulda been Raiders down 7 (or less) with the majority of the 4th quarter still to play and having racked up 20+ straight. I am very happy that the refs gave us the game.

Thankfully, it didn't. But it's not like we've never been on the other side of it.

The best commentators in the game are the team of Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick. Everyone else is so lame they need to be on injured reserve.
