Today in Bills History (2011.09.25)
RoyBatty is alive replied to WhoTom's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did the Patriots do that? Actually I dont recall BUT lets be honest, it isn't a bad strategy...unethical and underhanded but I can see the logic of trying that. -
Today in Bills History (2011.09.25)

That was the best Bills game IMO since the Super Bowl Era. That was also the Fitzpatrick peak with the Bills. -
Bills have hardest remaining schedule per FPI ESPN
RoyBatty is alive replied to Cson76's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes i think 99% of those that understand NFL lines know that. Thanks for Stating the obvious. -
Fitz in the HOF, lol. If by some miracle he lasts another 5 years and gets in the top 15 of passing yards all time then he has a shot, beyond that, give it up. Testaverde and Carson Palmer are in the top 15 and arent in the HOF and both had greater NFL success than has Fitz. Time for Bill fans to stop "adopting" Fitzpatrick as some kind of patron saint for the Bills, he has been on 7 other teams already and hasnt been on the Bills for 7 years..

They are already favored against the Rams so there you go. -
No I never agreed to point 1. And i never said or intimated it is easier to hack a system and cover it up than bribe an official. Never said that at all so if you want to have an intellectually honest conversation great, if you want to make things up go at it yourself. No not at all, i gave you a plausible reason why, as so many crazed conspiracy theorists are asserting the kick was editted out. I dont know if it was and really dont care either way. But for some to allege the NFL: is up to something nefarious is laughable
-
Makes sense to me, unless you want to put on your tin foil conspiracy hat that the NFL went out of their way top remove the meaningless field goal kick that no one cares about except a handful of crazed Bills fans care about. I dont know what they replaced it with but sorry, Frank Gore a future Hall of Famer is a lot more topical right now than our rookie field goal kicker. that missed a non-material kick.
-
Dead horse beating. You have no "proof" the field goal was good, zip zero, nada. Not going to keep going over the same thing repeatedly. There is "anecdotal proof" of the pats hacking technology, reference the headset "malfunctions' and Flutie comment about hearing the coaches communicating when he picked up a QBs helmet after the time to communicate expired...i didnt make those up or dream them. I never said they did for a fact so now I dont have some "onus" to prove otherwise.
-
The onus is on me to prove? Read what I wrote, "I do think the probably screwed", note the key words "think' and "probably". If you dont think a multibillion organization with a penchant for cheating in the past is capable of hacking technology, well that is your opinion i wont bother to respond to.
-
The catch rule absolutely introduced/involves technology..... multiple slow motion high fidelity cameras and replays emerged. Hack technology on the NFL, sure it already hasn't happened? I do think the probably pats screwed around for years with the QB-HC communication as well as the other teams telecom. No you THINK or want the call on the field to be the wrong call, you don't know for a fact...if you think you do there is no point in further debate. Ah hah, maybe the ref under the field goal; post bet the under! Start a thread on that see what kind of traction it gets.
-
Actually i can deny it and if we lost be 3 points I wouldn't debate it ad nauseam as we are here with this otherwise meaningless points, i would have moved on, its a judgement call, sometimes they go against you, deal with it. Only "precedent" it could possibly set is if the official made a demonstrably wrong call which, imo, i stil havent seen.
-
You want the NFL or football go go "all technology", good for you, I dont. I have already cited the fiasco the NFL has made about what a catch is. And what happens if technology malfunctions and gets the call wrong? Yeah good luck trying to solve that. My money is the Pats will learn a creative way to trick the fool proof technology. give them time and study. Football is a game of judgement officiated and run by people, seeking perfections if not attainable IMO. Would i like perfection, sure if the cost/time/hassle are not excessive.
-
No this is exactly what I wrote, "Can you cite ONE NFL game that an over the top Field goal was so close that it might have decided the game? " You supplied one, the Belichek one, the other you posted was a game by 4 and a game by 14, one wasnt even the NFL but neither was material to the outcome of the game. Just like the Bills=-Jets game...meaningless.
-
Give you credit for finding that. Again the refs were exactly where they needed to be, they had the best angle, the kick was no good. Sorry but Belichek and the biased Pats dont have close to the best angle. Look up parrallax effect/view, the will exactly why the refs are where they are. You do have a valid point to consider.
-
When you try and codify and legislate every single possibility in the NFL then you come up with monstrosities like what is a catch in the NFL. Has that made the game more enjoyable, more watchable, more fair? The goal post situation is fine, lets stop trying to create/manufacture potential problems. The refs were exactly where they needed to be to see the best angle of the kick. Time to get over it already..
