1B4IDie Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 So not only did the Bills lose because of that phantom call. Yes the Bills had many other opportunities to win that game. I lost in a money Fantasy Football league because of that call. During the broadcast I don't believe they could find video of Moore's Illegal block in the back. Does anyone have access to the All 22 Video? Can someone take a screen grab of the penalty? It is driving me crazy I'd like to see this penalty with my own eyes. Thanks
Nitro Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 on replay the St Louis lineman was watching the play (he was within 20 feet) the head ref is to his right and behind him. The Bills D lineman looks like he barely touches him and he immediately (and smartly) throws himslef forward and to the right. The ref throws the flag. The side judge facing the play form the sideline (and same distance) did not. Side judge obviously does not want to challenge the head ref on it. It sucks but happens way to often. It is like diving in hockey. No place for it but you will get the call.

mountainwampus Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Whoever Kyle Moore touched, knew he had zero chance to catch Gilmore, so he simply took a dive. Those theatrics won them the game. But what's more troubling is that Chan immediately tried to set up for a field goal, instead of taking a few shots at the end-zone.

Thanks They showed it on the broadcast, and as the announcers even said, there was some serious acting going on. It was a bad call for sure, but did we lose because of it? No. People need to quit blaming the officials every time we lose, face it this team sucks. If they would have had that TD, they would have found another way to lose anyway.

Storm Front Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 If the Bills score 6 there, it would have been a different game. Moore makes a lot of stupid contact. If he wants to start in the NFL he will need to minimize these mistakes.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 http://www.nfl.com/g...ights&tab=recap 0:30 in, you see the block in the back I still didn't see it...maybe if they called it a hold (still a very week call), but I didn't see anything that resembled a block in the back.

If they would have had that TD, they would have found another way to lose anyway. It's not THE reason we lost, but it is A reason we lost. It wouldnt be as big of an issue if Wilson catches any of the INTs that hit him in the hands, but than again, those dropped INTs arent an issue if they didnt make this BS call. The players had plenty of opportunity to win it themselves, and that should always count first. But this took the game away from us as well.

Oh i didnt mean that it was supposed to be a call. I meant thats the time when the call was in the video

Does anyone have access to the All 22 Video? Can someone take a screen grab of the penalty? It is driving me crazy I'd like to see this penalty with my own eyes. Thanks It hurt me in fantasy too...however, while I think the penalty was ticky tack, I dont blame the refs for that. Our guy DID touch him, even though it was not really hard, he still did it and under the NFL rules that is a penalty. The rules says nothing about how hard he pushes him or grabs him.. And people need to remember, Refs do not have the luxury of multiple camera angles to call penalties. They are running in live action and have only their field level vision from one angle, and in this case from behind the players. What really drew the penalty was the player selling it and acting like he was shoved hard to the ground, and that is what drew the flag. I don't blame the refs for that, its just like flopping in the NBA. You have to remember that the refs are not just staring at a single player, you would need a ref for every player on the field for that. The refs are observing a certain area of the field, that means penalties are going to occur in the peripheral vision too and may not have the same look we get to see at home. So, what he saw was contact and then a player flailing to the ground like being shoved hard. It was a flop and the ref fell for it...that happens, and all players do it, including our own. I hate the call happened, but at the same time, it had a lot to do with the acting job of the downed player. The problem is, there are no replays on penalties, so once the flag is thrown there is not a lot they can do to be sure about the context and you are most often stuck with their initial impression of what happened. And lets not forget every single player who gets a flag thrown on them disagrees with it every time and argues it, so there was not much our guy could say to change his mind.

They did call a hold...at least thats what I heard at the game. When I saw the guy dive and the flag thrown though I thought for sure it was a block in the back

ny33 Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Any decent NFL coach would be screaming for minutes in the face of the ref who threw that flag. Gailey, of course, didn't.
Alphadawg7 Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Any decent NFL coach would be screaming for minutes in the face of the ref who threw that flag. Gailey, of course, didn't. WELL SAID!!!! It would not have changed the call at all, would have done nothing actually to change the play...however, it isnt just this play. I never see Chan get upset, its like he has no fire out there at all and the team plays in the same manner. How many times did the team move slow to the line when time was an issue? He gave away 4 seconds with how long it took to call a timeout. He wussed out for a FG attempt AGAIN by our FG kicker who is a GOOD kicker. This guy coaches with no guts, plays with no fire, and inspires no one. So even though the penalty would not have been changed, he needs to show the refs he isnt going to stand for ticky tack calls and get in their face. Show the team some fire, especially after we just got a turnover and had a chance to really seize the game. I am tired of his gutless and emotionless performances on the sidelines and in the post game loser interviews. Edited December 10, 2012 by Alphadawg7

They showed the phantom block in back on big screen. He is not a good HC. simple
