TC in St. Louis Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 @MikePereira Want my thoughts on Robey's critical DPI in the 4th qtr of #BUFvsJAX? Watch my @kfc Midday Fill Up: https://amp.twimg.com/v/217c6683-8506-4510-98e9-4bba27dcc237 Subdued interpretation. You can sort of sense that he doesn't want to come out and say it was horrible, he just says he wouldn't have called it.
NewEra Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Same ol same ol. been saying it for years now. Something needs to change. Really.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I said in an earlier post that I think bills opponents have been watching film and talking to the refs before and during the game. The Easley offsides on kickoff is a play you really have to be looking for and expecting (especially how close it was). Woods has been called for holding the last few weeks while blocking. he's a pretty tenacious blocker. Robey has been known to be physical etc.. This is just a theory but we all know coaches talk to and work the refs before and during games. I think this is helping to increase our penalties. We are getting crazy calls against us. Let me be the first to say we have taken a crazy amount of personal foul penalties and I am sure the refs are no fan of Jerry Hughes. So, the reputation we have earned is justified. I just don't believe all the calls are. Our defensive line was held a ton today and it wasnt called hardly at all. The judgement call penalties are hugely lopsided against us. Pegula is paying the refs off, to get the top pick
Bacchus44 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Yes, the Bills could have (and should have) played better so this call was a non-issue...but the fact is that this was an absolutely horrendous call. The more this type of stuff happens (and what happened in the Seattle/Lions game), the less interest that I have in watching anymore. Once you start hearing tons of people say that the games are being rigged by the refs for online sport gambling profitability, the more you really start to wonder if they are correct. It's one thing to make an honest mistake because you thought you knew what you were seeing, but these types of horrendous calls (some even after further review & with multiple refs watching) are ruining the game, IMO. This seems to have gotten much worse in the past 2-3 years, no? Yes, there have been bad calls made as far back as I have been watching football...but none as blatantly bad as the calls that I have witnessed in games lately.

Felonious Monk Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Betting has turned the NFL into the new WWE. Anyone who thinks otherwise probably still thinks the latter is for real still. Does that mean we get to see EJ and Crossman square off against Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell tonight? If so, I'm sold.

Bacchus44 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) I think you forgot the r in your name It was intentional...a little running joke between me and a friend. Based on how I realized how stupid it looked from the outside, I have changed my name to Bacchus44. Bacchus is my dog's name...named after the Roman God of alcohol - which is what I need to consume lots of in order to be a Bills and Sabres fan living in WNY! Edited October 25, 2015 by Bacchus44
Smears Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Worst of all, the guy facing the play threw the flag, not the back ref. No way he's in a position to see the foul. this. ref couldnt have been sure. All he saw was a receiver fall down. Honestly neither team deserved a win. This years Bills are worse
ToGoGo Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 By the way, I think it's funny how Mike Pereira doesn't have access to a better angle on the PI. They only have the angle where it looks like Robey MIGHT have done something wrong.
bbb Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 The more we use technology and replays, ironically the worse the calls get.
Marv Levy Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Worst call ever to affect an outcome to a game...I'm so pissed right now. This! x's 1,000!!

Sabres will be bringing home before the Cup before we know it, now if the Bills can get that QB ...

Dan Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 There's only one more off season move I want to see Pegula make.... Become a member of the NFL rules committee. It's the only way I can see doing something being done about the amount of BS calls that go against this team.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Still can't get over this call. Robey Bogus PI Penalty (0:47)
dave mcbride Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Still can't get over this call. Robey Bogus PI Penalty (0:47) I really think that coaches should be allowed to challenge one penalty per game - perhaps just PI plays given that the officials screw them up the most. This was brutal, but it happens all of the time. Edited October 26, 2015 by dave mcbride
