WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 NO facemask... https://twitter.com/BuffSausageKing/status/669007425819779072 Yeah, that one pissed me off. Jesus, you want to blow the flag at the hint of contact on a pass play, or is someone breathes wrong on a starting QB, but man, if a defensive player yanks the helmet of a Buffalo Bill...man, you just have to let people play. I swear, this league is becoming the WWE.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 @MikePereira: Not that it really makes a difference, but the clock should have stopped on that last play. He went out untouched.plus time should have been it on clock after the words first down reversal. This crew was terrible
YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 @MikePereira: Lots asking about going out of bounds backward. If you are untouched by the defender and slide out of bounds, the clock stops. Not like NCAA

YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 @MikePereira: The pool report states that the runner gave himself up after catching the pass at the sideline. Really? That makes bad even worse.
dave mcbride Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I just read Gene Steratore' ridiculous he-gave-himself-up explanation. Watkins didn't give himself up (ie, go to the ground from an upright position voluntarily) -- he dove for the ball, which is what put him on the ground!! Does Steratore take us for complete freaking idiots? That's either a bald-faced lie, or a sign of rank incompetence.
John in Jax Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Not even mad. One armed Tyrod wasn't going to even take a shot. I LdOL.

MDH Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Horrific game for officials. Unfortunately, that's the average game this year.
NoSaint Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Unfortunately, that's the average game this year. Every week has issues- they are human. This week was bad in much worse way
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 They showed a replay before the second half and Graham had a huge chunk of Gronk's jersey in his hand. His holding Gronk is why Gronk bobbled it into Rambo's hands. That one was actually a good call. So I wasn't the only one to see that highlight. Thank you for confirming that.
Chuck Wagon Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Schmidt's plant leg was clearly hit on the punt in the 1st quarter. That's automatically 15 yards.
MDH Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Every week has issues- they are human. This week was bad in much worse way I'm willing to give them missed calls. They can't see everything. I'm not willing to give them calling penalties that aren't there or not knowing the rules. Those aren't acceptable, particularly the latter. They should know the rules inside and out.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Schmidt's plant leg was clearly hit on the punt in the 1st quarter. That's automatically 15 yards. no call since they claimed our guy blocked guy into him. The block was from the side, the cheater was escaping block and hit him and clearly could have pulled up
26CornerBlitz Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 @MikeCareyRef94 Mike Carey Retweeted MikeTirico I'm sad to say, "the receiver gave himself up" is not a plausible explanation of that play.
MDH Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 @MikeCareyRef94 Mike Carey Retweeted MikeTirico I'm sad to say, "the receiver gave himself up" is not a plausible explanation of that play. NS. By "gave himself up" he meant "scrambling madly to get out of bounds to stop the clock."
All_Pro_Bills Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 @MikeCareyRef94 Mike Carey Retweeted MikeTirico I'm sad to say, "the receiver gave himself up" is not a plausible explanation of that play. Why would a receiver 'give himself up' under the circumstances? Down one score, seconds left in the game, no time outs. if in the mind of the official he believed a player would make a conscious decision to give himself up and stay in bounds while the clock expired to lose the game then his competence, judgment, and motives need to be questioned. That excuse is at best lame and at worst a blatant lie to cover up a major screw up.
shrader Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I'd swear that every single week I'm hearing talk either monday or tuesday morning about a horrible call in the late seconds of the previous night's game. They're going to need to do something about this sooner or later. There's way too many black eyes to go around lately when it comes to the refs. It just feels like these guys are making things up as they go. The inadvertent whistle was the perfect example. "Ummm.... yeah, the whistle blew AFTER the catch and ummm.... and oh yeah, it's the coach's fault, he got in the way... yeah, that's it, that's what happened".
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 @MikePereira: Not that it really makes a difference, but the clock should have stopped on that last play. He went out untouched. that was so weird .... Who made the rule where going OOB doesn't stop the clock?
