This guy was crying on the sideline. No need to pile on.

Exactly, he knew he fricked up. Anyone could have made that mistake.

And at the end of the day, it was one play. A crucial play, but just one. Could have been offset by better play earlier in the game. I feel for the guy.

That is a good teammate.
Yes, He did have the penalty with the spot light on him. But I said it last night and they talked about it on Get up this morning. The punt return had a so many blocks in the back and holding penalty not called on the Chiefs right before all of this. This should have never come in play.

League is rigged 100%. This became pretty clear during the saints/rams NFC championship game. Why I just watch for entertainment purposes now.

If you watch it for entertainment purposes now, what was the reason you watched it before?

GusAU, I think he was putting money toward picking winners. What else is there for people to watch the game and same for fantasy football. There is money put into that too.

Pratt getting run over and missing a tackle on the final drive didn't help matters either.

"We're not going to make it about one play," Bengals Coach Zac Taylor said of Ossai's penalty. "There was plenty of plays we left on the field today that could have put us in a better position."

The hell with taking it easy on him. These guys get paid millions to play a game and be elite at it. Stupid, unnecessary penalty.

Ossai made a crucial mistake, and I don't blame Pratt for showing raw emotion. Don't get mad that cameras behind the scene capture that stuff. But maybe Pratt is not the individual to immediately be holding others accountable given his 4th quarter quality of play...

Not a real smart move for sure! He obviously hurt his team chances of winning the game. But I'm sure he'll be looking for a contract extension and a huge pay increase? Hate to break his heart but it won't happen!

At least he was hustling. 57 flopped when trying to tackle Pacheco earlier

If I'm one of the coaches I am taking mental notes of players like that. I get the frustration maybe at the time, but doing that waaay after the fact is a problem.

I was just texting one of my friends to comment on how #58 had been all over the field that entire game making plays. Then he does that. Sucks because he had a great game up until then.

Mahommes flopped and the league ate it up. Just like the extra play they got.

One play has never cost anybody a game. You have to be smarter there but there were also times where key drops happened that would have kept drives alive. A game is a culmination of plays but the focus gets put on the last few plays. If this happens in the first qtr its not even talked about.

The refs cost the Bengals big time. Even on the play being discussed above, you clearly see the offensive lineman holding. The NFLdecides who goes.

Remember Houston/Buffalo Conference championship andhow that score changed after Dallas beat San Fran. That is a very good start.
