KW95 - JA17 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 It was out of frustration over the way they were being dominated on both sides of the line. His actions were no different from the way they played. No, it was over the spot. The Bills player tackled the Jets running back 1 yard short of the first down and the ref game him the first down. One of the Bills defenders was discussing with the Ref and the ref smiled.
The Frankish Reich Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 My thought, too. He's having a great year. His game play and the penalty was right in line with the rest of the team today. He's having a very good year. Not "great" by any means. An objective analysis: PFF has him (before last night) as the 10th best "edge defender" in the NFL this year. You're a really good team if your roster is composed of the 10th best performer at every position! But he ain't Von Miller ...
The Jokeman Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) The question I have is why did it take two refs to talk it over and then throw the flag after Hughes was on the sidelines. Ultimately I don't think it altered the games outcome but felt like it was a proverbial poke of the eyes of an angry bear. Edited November 3, 2017 by The Jokeman
Livinginthepast Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 McD isnt the type of coach to put up with this kind of illdiscipline. Hughes will be gone if he does this again. The process may have started already after last night. It was a really stupid penalty.
26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Funny how hes been amazing the last few days but as soon as he does one thing wrong its time to cut him.. Classic fan overreaction.
Billzgobowlin Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 The question I have is why did it take two refs to talk it over and then throw the flag after Hughes was on the sidelines. Ultimately I don't think it altered the games outcome but felt like it was a proverbial poke of the eyes of an angry bear. It was absolutely an unnecessary flag. This was the typical ref got his feelings hurt. Ref messed up a critical spot and got called out on it. He didn't touch the ref and wasn't out of control. Stupid flag McD isnt the type of coach to put up with this kind of illdiscipline. Hughes will be gone if he does this again. The process may have started already after last night. It was a really stupid penalty. Not so sure about that. I think McDerm will deal with it but didn't seem to be warranted.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Shaq Lawson's RTP penalty was equally as ridiculous. Not sure what Jerry said to the referee to draw the flag, but he has been markedly better this season in terms of discipline and self control. I don't think I would cut our best defensive lineman just yet, Bills fans! 1
26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 @PrescottRossi Sean McDermott, right after Hughes picked up a 15-yard unsportsmanlike for dropping a MF-bomb on the refs. "Jerry, you can't do that, OK?" 9:21 AM - 3 Nov 2017
Captain_Quint Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 He's having a very good year. Not "great" by any means.

You're a really good team if your roster is composed of the 10th best performer at every position! But he ain't Von Miller ... True. He's having a solid year, but not elite. He seems to have games where he's unblockable and others he seems to disappear for stretches. His penalties are more under control this season, probably because they're doing better on the field.
SaviorPeterman Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Hughes hasn't been as bad as last year with this type of stuff but he certainly self destructed last night. Bigger concern is after a fast start to the season he's been virtually invisible in recent weeks in terms of the pass rush.
RyanC883 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I think he told the ref he sucked worse than Dennison's play calling and that drew the flag.. The question I have is why did it take two refs to talk it over and then throw the flag after Hughes was on the sidelines. Ultimately I don't think it altered the games outcome but felt like it was a proverbial poke of the eyes of an angry bear. It was time for a "Ref Show." These refs were ridiculous. Flags all over the place. IT's like they love their own voice. You know what, your an NFL ref, get over players yelling at you.
CodeMonkey Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I remember McDermott, the media, and some Bills fans, praising the highly emotional response on the sidelines after the 1st down catch near the end of Sundays game. Saying how that level of emotion is a good thing for the team and so on. Well, that kind of emotion is a double edged sword and it can really hurt you when things aren't going your way. That was evident last night.
LABILLBACKER Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I thought MD was the last of the stank, but I forgot about JH55
26CornerBlitz Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 @viccarucci McDermott was “not happy at all” about unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty on Jerry Hughes. Says any internal discipline will stay private.
Best Player Available Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 This has become a reoccurring thing with him. He makes big penalties in big games. To me, they will be looking for his replacement soon. Those penalties are unacceptable. Now that he is on his own in pass rushing. He has become a JAG very fast. He goes all out but seems to be neutralized a lot.
LABILLBACKER Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Hughes played terrible. Cordy played terrible. Maybe McD will purge the final 2 big contracts? And as far as what becomes of TT, who knows?
Tipster19 Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Unfortunately Hughes' reaction was the only example of intensity last night. I can deal with losing but not like last night. The Bills were embarrassing, they played like pussies.
TC in St. Louis Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 The play before was holding on the Jets, and they initially moved it back to 3rd and 7, instead of 3rd and 11. Then they gave the guy the first down. I cannot blame Hughes for talking to the ref. He said "That's enough," twice, and Hughes backed off. Then the refs put their heads together and decided to jam it right up the Bills butts, as if that was necessary. We were outplayed, but the fumble at the end of the half cost us the chance to kick for the tie. The other fumbles were costly. Many of the penalties were marginal. Taylor was hit helmet-to-helmet, which if Brady was the QB the guy would have been thrown out of the game. The announcer said maybe it was because he was out of the pocket. Oh, that makes perfect sense. It's better to play badly and lose than to play great and lose. We have a lot of film to study. I believe we'll be back with a vengeance next week against the Saints. I also agree with Richie that playing a road game on Thursday is utter b.s. OK. Next.
Kelly the Dog Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 I think he told the ref he sucked worse than Dennison's play calling and that drew the flag..That would piss me off too. Nothing is that smelly. I'd love to find out what actually happened. He didn't touch the ref. Obviously it was for verbal abuse. I just don't think you call it at that point in the game. Unless he had been strongly we warned and then did it again anyway.
