Uh, no. It was a bullshit call. The offensive lineman even admitted as much.

Marvin Lewis: Refs blew it by making 'phantom call' on Bengals with :06 left - CBSSports.com

The Bengals got fucked.
Bengals had a lead, they were positive one in turnovers, they tied the game at the end. They had every opportunity to win or at least send it to overtime, and they couldn't do it... Yet it was the refs fault?

The Cardinals did what they do to almost every team. Score 30+ and gain 400+ yards. Bengals are a good team with a great defense, but the better team won that game.

Cards had 383 total yards... Bengals 377. Bengals had slight edge in TOP, 1st downs and one less turnover...

Hard to say "better team" won... they were pretty evenly matched from watching the game and looking at the stats IMO. However, one team has to lose.

Like I said the Bengals are a good team and I agree, it was evenly matched throughout. However when the game is on the line, the better team usually comes out on top.

When a game is that close, not going to go and proclaim one team "the better team"... that is a comment for when a team clearly outplays another team. That was far from the case in this game.

He said "usually" and the line between who is better than another can be a pretty thin one.

I loved and hated that game. It was so stressful but fun winning a close game against a good team. That is two weeks straight of the Cards putting out an excellent game in prime time. I just hope Peterson isn't hurt badly. They may not need him next week but Powers isn't good enough to cover a no. 1 receiver, hell he can barely cover a no. 2.

That was the rebuttal... first comment was:

I still believe it was two evenly matched teams... one had to win and one had to lose. One team was not better than the other.
