He almost had on the pass interferance call. He had the ball in his hands but the reciever knocked the ball out with his helmet.

 

That was such a bad call, he went for the ball, looked at the ball and the receiver was in the way. No way it was PI.

i know i though for sure byrd was gonna come down with that..i was like come on wilson give him the ball for #10

 

As an old-timer who watched in fascination the GREAT Bills DB by the same name yea those many decades ago, I'm feeling a little nostalgic and melancholy as Jarius Byrd closes in on the teams' season INT record (Janik & Atkins tied w/10). Just as Butchs' career totals (40) seemed never to be equalled/surpassed, the new kid may realize this in under 5 seasons.

 

Amazing.

except for the fact that he hit him before the ball got there..cant do that

 

announcer were right (for a change). He has a right to the ball, he clearly got 2 hands on the ball while not pushing or grabbing the receiver. Therefore, it should not have been a PI call imo

Untrue. You definitely can hit the WR before the ball gets there if you are only going for the ball, which Byrd was clearly doing. That was a terrible call. It wasn't close to interference.

u cant go over a guys back when going for the ball. so untrue on your part.

However--I would like to see the replay again...maybe he didnt interfere

Byrd is having a crazy good year. Where are the guys who said no safety could do well behind our front 7? I think they said Ed Reed would be "mediocre" on the Bills.

 

They were making excuses for the lack of plays made by Whitner in his entire career. BTW, Donte took a HORRIBLE angle on Charles' 76 yd TD run. Angle was so atrocious, it looked like he purposely ran to get behind Charles.

I hope Bird and Wilson both got a quick earful from Fewell about that last pick and both hear a handful of embarrassing smart ass comments in the film room a few times this week.

And technically you're not allowed to go "through" a receiver to get the ball. You can sort of slide on him but a direct through route is a no-no. But I still like to see him going after it like he did even though he took a penalty. He catches that and stripes probably doesn't even get out the flag that he didn't have any more cuz he already threw it at Donte.
