Housh drew a pass Interference and the refs called it incomplete on 4th and 4.

Damn I hate watching games blown on referee mistakes.
Cinci was 4th and 4, and went for it at the 2 minute warning. The ball was thrown to Housh, who was tackled before the ball even got to him. The refs, apparently, didn't see what anyone who was watching could clearly see... The guy got there early. It was a sure catch without the interference.
I feel cheated. Why am I watching this damn game if the refs are going to blow it?

I don't understand why Instant replay can't be used to get this call right.

I thought about that too but then i know coaches would be trying to get everything reviewed.

As it is in every sport, officials are accountable to no one. Players and coaches lose their jobs for poor performance, referees and umpires are allowed to be completely inept with no consequences whatsoever.
I'm sure the Bengals will get an apology letter from the league. That'll sure take the sting out of it. ::)

They don't need to make it a coaches review. They can make it an official's review up in the booth.

Isn't it long past due to have full time refs?
Can't we just make some more complex judgment calls to confuse these Alzheimers Victims?
Chicago going down.

The league is always against these items that could make games longer.
I'm ALWAYS for getting it right. It's gotta change sooner or later. Too much at stake!

It's just completely sick. They had done everything they needed to do to get an opportunity to win the game at the end. They came back, got the field goal, trusted their defense, and ended up with the ball with just over 2 minutes to go. Now it's 4th and 4, with some great defense and tough yards being fought for, and the Bengals are faced with a pivotal moment for their season. Outof the playbook they pull out a high percentage completion route, only to watch the guy who burnt the defender get tackled before the ball gets there and the refs do absolutely nothing about it.
Man that's frustrating! What a waste watching that game!

This sucks! I didn't see it, but I have seen the Ravens benefit from this several times, like Ray Ray pushing Mike Anderson out of the way on a short pass to make a BS interception a few years ago.
In the last few minutes of a game, every so-called judgment call should be reviewable if this is what happens. WEAK!
