starrymessenger Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 He definitely extended his arm in a pushoff that created the necessary separation against the DB. Easy and correct call. Last night Tony and Rodney (no friend of the Bills) went out of their way to say it was a horrible garbage call. I agree with them. DB lost his balance and fell over backwards.
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I was less annoyed by the call, and more annoyed by the fact that the flag didn't come out until the receiver whined to get one. It's tough to take NFL officiating seriously when you see players getting flags after pleading to the ref. It's as if some refs think they must have missed it, so they cave. Just another thing that turns me off about the NFL. You don't see that happen at other levels of football. Try complaining to an official in high school, see how far that will get you. In the pros it can earn oneself a flag.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 @SalSports McDermott won't say he thought the OPI was justified, but does say "I thought Andre ran a good route and we still gave ourselves a chance"
Boatdrinks Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Holmes didn't extend his arms and the DB can't just stand there and impede the route. The call was terrible and if the DB doesn't go to the ground the flag is never thrown.
