4 gameplay fouls vs 1 is nearly nothing called. If you want to jump in and change the discussion, I’m glad to go back that direction— but you’ve heard my take. the call in the first half I only half saw and didn’t see a replay... I read a mixed bag on it the dpi in the second half the guy got there considerably early, grabbed and twisted effecting the upper body on a very catchable ball. If we are down to one questionable dpi - the refs had a stellar day. There are calls and games I won’t defend but if that same exact game happened but Steelers vs jags instead, the board would be generally praising it.

Honestly, I’m not going to dive into comparing non calls right now. It makes for terrible conversation here (much easier in person, unless we both have video cued up). ill stand by that they called nearly nothing on either team post snap. The refs kept the flags tucked, and generally got right turnovers, catches, etc... if you want to make a case that there was substantial no calls the pats got away with that the jags didn’t, id almost ask you if the jags should’ve pushed further too (but I obviously don’t think this one was poorly officiated)

I mean, if we are down to one bad PI call, and the rest called pretty even— I’d venture that the issue is expectations if calling it beyond terrible

Exactly. You pull the obvious and non debatable pre snap calls and there were very few calls on either team. A H2H hit that knocked out the pats best receiver was a fair call. Taking down a defender and laying on top of him was the only hold on either team. The PI before the half I didn’t see a replay but the one after the half obvious (way early and involved both grabbing and twisting the upper body effecting the catch on a very catchable ball) it wasnt like one side got hit hit with Ticky tack calls or it was terribly inconsistent. The only way your truly angry about officials in that game is if you were angry before the game started.

Jax only got called for one hold and it was both obvious and impacted the play. It’s not like they killed the jags with holding flags

The ramsey PI was obvious, the hit on gronk was a penalty, the delay of game was real, the hold was very legit. That leaves the one PI that I didn’t catch replays of that I can’t comment on Come on promo

Boards going to be angry bout that

Ultimately, that’s why it’s hard to get a ring without a qb... over the course of 4 games, mostly not at home if you don’t have a qb, your going to have to come up big in the clutch a few times. A bad qb can do it any given week but it’s tough to do it regularly. Sometimes you get a hot streak ala Flacco, but these guys tend to play to their averages eventually

Oh Blake

Yea, we have a real need for that at this point.

It was an obvious call

That’s a good flag guys

Heaven forbid bills fans talk football on one of the biggest days of the year

But why even tune in if you are only looking for a reason to be angry. There are people complaining about calls that they acknowledged were correct. Just seems a miserable way to spend a Sunday.

He was certainly touched by the back, no? I wasn’t watching for that specifically but with them draped on each other like that I’d be surprised to see otherwise

Some of y’all are getting unbearable with this Ref stuff

Not just gassed but disorganized— I get why coaches don’t want to call timeout there but totally agree that sometimes getting your feet under you is worth giving the opponent an extra play

I enjoy the “5 straight accurate calls” complaint

Gronk has to be in protocol now right?

Oh Doug....

We are complaining about that?

“Note: assemble a ton of defensive line talent and just keeping adding to it”

Maybe it’s the favre vs New Orleans day- they are hitting him.

Other than disliking them more, how exactly would you be holding them accountable?

Arent you charming
