Kgun5 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 It's not about "deserve" dude. They had the game won. If the ref doesn't throw a bogus flag, the Bills win the game. These NFL officials should be flipping pizzas and directing crosswalks but instead week in and week out are are ruining the product, and unfairly and wrongfully deciding the outcome of a multi-billion dollar business. It's insane to me. The Jags deserved to lose just as much as the Bills did. How can you say the Bills deserved to lose? They battled back and had the game won - and the refs took it away. Your take is just bunk. This... What made Jacksonville more deserving of the win today, Mr. Wins-go-to-the-most-deserving?
Spiderweb Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 For 57 minutes the players played the game, good and bad. The the reds decide they too want in on the action and make a brtual phantom PI call, only to make up for it by not calling an obvious hold. Our Bills were victimized on both and they determined the game..... The league should be ashamed of their theft. This in no way absolves Manuel for his horribly inconsistent and incompetent play.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 They may have won, but remember that it was 3rd down, not 4th down. They had another shot after that if it wasn't called. 4th and 15....I'd take my chances there.
Fixxxer Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 The players did, Manuel was the one who decided the outcome. Not one call by one official. People need to stop whining about officiating and realize when you play like a big piece of **** you deserve to lose. Put the blame where it belongs. Without a phantom PI, we win the game. EJ sucking or not.
Meatplow Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Perfect coverage. You'd get a gold star for that coverage. The flag cost us the game. ^^^ THIS ^^^
dave mcbride Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 4th and 15....I'd take my chances there.Agreed; i'm just saying that they had a chance. That said, remember the last time that Jax played Buffalo and were in a 4th and 15 situation (to the yard) with the game on the line ...

nedboy7 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Im not sure how you defend that call by saying Bills shouldnt have been in that position. That was a call that changed the outcome.
Dan Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 This in no way absolves Manuel for his horribly inconsistent and incompetent play.Exactly. And that's what too many people forget. They want to just blame EJ and call it a day. But, they ignore the fact that EJ actually kept fighting and made the plays that put the bills up by 4 late in the 4th quarter...AND that the refs blew 2 extremely critical calls at the most important time of the game.. Both in favor of the Jags. If the refs don't give the Jags that score, how different does this game and the story about EJ's performance get written?
clearwater cadet Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 There come a time the team has to make plays when it matters
ko12010 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Refs screwed the Jags on EJ's phantom roughing the passer call on 3rd down. that drive still didn't result in any points for the Bills
ToGoGo Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Is there any way to get video of this, or are they all illegal? Makes sense why they would want all the Vines gone, huh.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 There come a time the team has to make plays when it matters Robey did just that.

Both in favor of the Jags. If the refs don't give the Jags that score, how different does this game and the story about EJ's performance get written? He becomes a hero. This is why the NFL fixing games is so frustrating for those that appreciate true athletic competition. Part of what makes sorts great is seeing a player come out and play a disastrous 1st half and come back with all his strength to lead the team back. But if that goes against who the NFL wants to win (whoever it is), it gets erased by flags that wipe out entire plays. Then fans/shills come on this board to say "well the Bills shouldn't have been in the situation to let the refs decide the game". But how can they not be if refs can wipe out an entire play? Aren't most games decided on big plays?
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 For FireChan it's not enough that EJ play terribly. He actively wishes for him to play poorly, and is so pleased when he is put at major injury risk by taking helmet to helmet contact that he doesn't want the officials to call those penalties.

I think it's obvious to any reasonable person that FireChan isn't a person who is strong in critical thinking and should be ignored.
Talley56 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 It was hard to see with the feed we were watching on but it looked like we got away with a blatant PI on the pick-6. Not to mention the horrible roughing the pass play where it looked like they hit EJ cleanly and the suspect uncatchable PI called on them on the 2pt try. Not saying the PI call on Robey wasn't bad, it was a horrible call, but it certainly looked like we got our fair share of calls too. This loss falls on the team as a whole from coaching down to the players NOT the officials.

Hey, you're talking to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone.
Coach Tuesday Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I don't believe for a second that the games are fixed. I think the Neanderthalian idiots who aspire to and then succeed in becoming refs are so stupid, so vapid and so incompetent that the integrity of a multi-billion dollar product is compromised.

Do you really think the NFL would hire Neanderthal refs with the billions of dollars they have? That they would be satisfied with incompetent and stupid refs if they truly cared about the integrity of the game? I find this reasoning incredible. It's not fixed! The refs hired by a billion dollar organization and that are in one of the most crucial positions in the game are just stupid and incompetent. Teams spend millions of dollars SCOUTING players, and yet the NFL is comfortable with refs who make terrible calls in close games on a weekly basis. Come on.
