TigerJ Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Preston Brown got held and tackled on Charles' TD runYeah, there were some non-calls, particularly on that play.
KD in CA Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 The hands to the face call on Adolphus Washington was a bad call. Agreed, I forgot about that one. AWs hand never left the guys jersey.
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 Adolphus was just interviewed on WGR. He said he never touched the OL's face and he asked him after the flag if he thought he touched his face and even the OL said no. He said he did touch his neck which is legal.

Uggh....made me a little upset. Not as upset on Preston Brown being held though...that was right in front of the ref.

Not as upset on Preston Brown being held though...that was right in front of the ref. The way the refs favoured the Broncos, with a neutral officiating crew i don't think this game would have even been close we are that much better than Denver.

The Wiz Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 it as more of a horse collar "hold" from the front than a face mask IMO That's what it looked like to me too. Grabbed the front of his jersey and just shoved it up to his chin.
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Adolphus was just interviewed on WGR. He said he never touched the OL's face and he asked him after the flag if he thought he touched his face and even the OL said no. He said he did touch his neck which is legal. Seems odd to me that putting a hand on a guys adams apple would be legal. But definitely the hand was not above the neck area for sure.
ricojes Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) What's Denver's record coming off a bye week? And Atlanta's on their bye week this week as too, what are the odds? Edited September 25, 2017 by ricojes
The Wiz Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Seems odd to me that putting a hand on a guys adams apple would be legal. But definitely the hand was not above the neck area for sure. He didn't put it on his adams apple per say. He grabbed his jersey and pushed up, so he was holding the collar of his jersey and his fist was touching his neck/throat area.

That would mean you are still putting a good amount of pressure on the throat/adams apple area. Doesn't seem like something that should be legal even if it happens by accident. But I also don't know the exact rule. Edited September 25, 2017 by Sammy Watkins' Rib
CountDorkula Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Adolphus was just interviewed on WGR. He said he never touched the OL's face and he asked him after the flag if he thought he touched his face and even the OL said no. He said he did touch his neck which is legal. When i first saw it I thought it was hands to the face too. imagine only having one quick look at it. Having replay is great, refs don't have that.
YoloinOhio Posted September 25, 2017 Author Posted September 25, 2017 Adolphus added that he hadnt been to film yet but he expected Waufle might tell him not to get so close to make the ref think it was hands to the face.

Doesn't seem like something that should be legal even if it happens by accident. But I also don't know the exact rule The infraction was called "hands to the face" not hands to the throat. I could see a hands to the throat being a penalty, however, I do not know of any rules for an infraction of that kind. Maybe they should have one but none as of now.
Royale with Cheese Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 The way the refs favoured the Broncos, with a neutral officiating crew i don't think this game would have even been close we are that much better than Denver. Refs were pretty bad.
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 The reffing was plenty bad today. I am not sure if it's the stink from Bills past but there were a lot of phantom calls. Denver got away with a ton of holding penalties as well. It's going to be a while till we start getting the benefit.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 25, 2017 Posted September 25, 2017 Unlike us, Broncos have a ton of boards. I posted a few comments on the Dennison thread. Fans are familiar with Dennison and not afraid of our offense. Here's a few They have better assessment of Bills than many NFL writers. They're no fools. They know what to expect. This is all pretty astute analysis, actually.

I could see a hands to the throat being a penalty, however, I do not know of any rules for an infraction of that kind. Maybe they should have one but none as of now. It is included in the illegal use of hands "Thrusts hands forward and above the frame of an opponent to contact him in the head, neck or face" but they note "Contact in close-line play that is not direct and forcible is not a foul"

Then what he did was a foul as it was forceful.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 The hands to the face call on Adolphus Washington was a bad call. So was the late hit out of bounds call.
