Does Bengals’ Joe Burrow need to change temperament with officials? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

1. Thing is the Ravens must’ve known they were swallowing the whistle cause they started doing Bs every play

2. The fact of the matter is that missed calls are a part of the game. With that being known, a team can't let the difference between a win or a loss ride on the refs making or missing a call. The right attitude is to look at what can be changed: gameplay. Spectators like us can complain all we want, but the guys actually playing need to look ahead to the next game.

3. NFL is rigged sorry to say

4. New England Kansas city think about it only real is injures

5. Burrows is still the most accurate Qb in the NFL the defense is the least accurate they will make the playoffs

6. Cry about it

7. League isn’t protecting the players . Only one getting coddled is Mahomes .

8. Cincinnati got cheated and it’s sad

9. The officiating does change during critical moments! G… do you think Vegas has something to do with it???

10. Lmao but when it happened to Lamar for years especially 2020-2022 nobody said a thing

11. Going 5-2??? That puts them at 9-8. I don’t see that record making playoffs . They have to run the table 7-0 maybe 6-1 may get you in.

12. Every play should be reviewable.
    Allow the same number of challenges but make any play reviewable.
    Why not?? What are you afraid of?

13. Everyone's fault but the refs themselves and the NFL who's perfectly fine with the refs getting worse at their job every year. Maybe if they were held accountable more then, oh your not allowed to work the superbowl. Maybe

14. So basically you got to yell at officials for calls,they just don't see it bs ,the refs should call penalties regardless of that stupid they can't even get it right

15. I love Mike Florio’s takes … he’s straight up real AF

16. Not until they do their jobs better. The replacement refs during the strike were 10 times better than these refs today. Wtf

17. The Ravens were called for 4 penalties on the Bengals last drive. That’s what kept their drive alive. The refs were basically trying to hand the game to the Bengals. Also that catch on 4th down was not a catch. The Ravens should have taken over right there. Joe Burrow is 0-5 vs winning teams this year. For some reason sports analysts always give Burrow a pass and blame everyone else. If Lamar or Hurts were 0-5 vs winning teams, they would be roasted. But the NFL loves its white QB’s like Burrow, Herbert, Stafford, and Lawrence. Regardless how bad they are, excuses are always made for them. Lawrence has the worst record of starting QB’s since he entered the league, he is tied for the most interceptions since he was drafted. He also has the most fumbles and giveaways since he entered the league. Yet sports analysts do not call him a bust, and always make excuses for him.

18. Burrow is 0-5 vs winning teams this year. Lamar has a 5-1 record vs Burrow in their head to head match ups. He owns space in Burrow’s head.

19. Nobody got more calls than Tom Brady. If you breathed on him, it was considered roughing the passer.😂

20. I do not understand how some people think Burrow is better than Lamar. Burrow made it to 1 SB, 4 years ago, which he lost. His career record is 33-29-1, only 4 games above .500. Lamar Jackson is 65-22 in his career, 44 games above .500. This year the Ravens have the 27th worst defense, dead last against the pass, yet Lamar Jackson still finds a way to win. Burrow is 0-5 vs winning teams this year.

21. Punks blame refs and whine about bad calls. Good job Joe. Who Dey

22. ITS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE HIS ROOKIE SEASON!!!!

23. I hope burrow gets to win a Super Bowl or 2. He is legit! Such a killer mindset

24. It's professional sports. Professional wrestling.

25. 428 yards, it wasn't Burrow.

26. This seems like victim blaming. The Bengals were robbed. The officials need to be better and held accountable. The league need to have a public review process of these blown calls.

27. How Rodney can't stop playing with his camera and staring at himself 😅

28. Burrow should complain more to the officials because it works. The officials know if they can push you around, they will.

29. Refs openly fixed the game for the Ravens. Players need to stop being afraid of fines and man up.

30. You’re assuming that the ref saw it and chose to not call it. Another possibility is he didn’t see it. Either way, it’s a mistake that needs to be addressed.

31. Bracing for the inevitable moment when Rodney interrupts Florio. It always happens and it happens a lot. Idk why he has that problem but he’s really the only one that ALWAYS does it. And Florio notices it and gets bugged by it, clearly

32. Never, ever has Rodney Harrison seemed like a fun guy to talk to

33. Tell the Bengals to not give up a 14 point lead where you need a 2 point conversion at the end of the game. Y’all crying about flags like Lamar never got late hit miss calls like taking blows to the helmet or late hits going out of bounds

34. The pass was u n catchable

35. You yell at the officials they’ll just throw the flag for unsportsmanlike conduct

36. Respect 🤬🤬

37. I think the nfl booth should be able to call missed,blatant penalties on game deciding plays.

38. The Bengals got 3 penalties called on them the whole game compared 11 on the Ravens.

    Little Joey’s relationship with officials was just fine.

39. I’m sure the billions in legal gambling each game have nothing to do with outcomes.
    Nah.

40. the fact is qb's shouldnt have to do any of that, i respect Burrow being classy and humble. its not a lesson for players or coaches to learn its a lesson for refs to learn. stop being blind and do your job, people should not be in an awkward position to suggest penalties to the professional referees.

41. 1:22😳 Must be something wrong with the people in Baltimore.

42. Lamar Jackson's most needed area for improvement is his flopping. He is so athletic, he jumps out of the way. Instead he should be throwing himself to the ground every time an opponent gets close to him. And Burrow should cry more. So even the best QBs can get better.
