Buffalobillygoats Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Bills win first and foremost but man we got lucky on dat 2 pointer! I thought the game was over so I was gonna shut the tv off in disgust but then saw that they brought it back for a pick penalty which I thought was a good call but than saw dat it was within yd of the line of scrimmage like the announcer mentioned. We got a very lucky break they’re but who cares since we won and now only a game out of the playoffs!!!
ProcessTheTrust Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 After the countless times we have been shafted in the drought, we'll take the handful of lucky bounces we have had this year!

We got a very lucky break they’re but who cares since we won and now only a game out of the playoffs!!! Initially I thought it was a horrible call then I have watched both replays a couple times. it was more clear on the XP but the Ball is snapped on the 2 yard line, the contact takes place at the Goalline (that is two yards) It was the same on the TD (looked closer to three yards on that contact, but I admit really hard to see for sure on that one) Edited December 11, 2017 by MAJBobby 1
Beast Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 We had our share of luck yesterday. That’s good because we can all name many games where we were unlucky. I think, as a whole, the Bills were the better team yesterday so the results were justified.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 I don't see us making the playoffs but I am impressed with how McD has built this team. I have a feeling that it's only going to get better. I expect a rookie HC to make a few mistakes which McD has but I think he will be a good HC.
BillsFanMike Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 I'll take a win any day. I do have to say I thought the game was over when he caught that 2 point conversion pass. Whew!
SoCal Deek Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 It was not luck. It was the right call. It's just too bad the Bills get them so rarely.

No doubt it was the right call but the refs seem to let the boys play yesterday. Was there ever a game in Bills history with so few flags? I’m sure there were a lot of fouls the refs turned a blind eye to.

Not only the right call: the Colts don’t score on that play without the illegal block. So spare me the “we were lucky” nonsense. (I don’t mean you.)
SF Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 It was an illegal pick. The Colt player made no attempt to get open, he only illegally blocked our player. It was the right call.

Benjamin clearly interfered with late in the game wasn't called. It's worth noting that we consistently get screwed by the refs and for once a call at a critical point in the game went our way.

Doc Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 It was the right call and they were ignoring holding on that final drive anyway.
MAJBobby Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Just now, Doc said: It was the right call and they were ignoring holding on that final drive anyway. Just like Richie's on the final TD?

Not sure why that is holding as he just pushes him from side and the guy falls. I guess the snow causing players to slide slip may have been a factor in those not being called holding in that game as there seemed to be a lot like that let go.

When it is a pass play then no WR should be able to pick anywhere. On a run play yes absolutely WR can block any witch way they need to.

I get it and yes it was put in to make the Patriots rubs more clarified, but yep allows blocking on a pass play within one yard. Doesn't matter both these picks were outside 1 yard

I thought I remember the contact being made at the goal line. That's 2 yards. Is it possible it only looked like 1 yard because the receivers were lined up off sides (people were off sides all day)? That could have made it look like only 1 yard. And maybe that's why they had to have a discussion before calling it. Just wish I could see it again. Somebody post it, LOL. Also worth mentioning, if the player continued to block beyond 1 yard before the pass it's also illegal even if the contact was made inside the 1 yard.
