SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) NFL League news feed Monday 9-24 Refs blew the fumble call. It was an incomplete pass Edited September 24, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan 2
pennstate10 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Bills ran that exact play last week, and we were chuckling that Allen had a completion on a ball that traveled less than a yard in the air. That was a pass last week, so this week its a..... fumble??? I'm sure the Bills will send the NFL office those two plays, and tell them to get the call right next time!!! 1
bills11 Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 It's 2018...there is no excuse for the bs going on with the nfl rules...if the people in the replay booth cant even interpret calls correctly that are so obvious how are games supposed to be officiated correctly. From the garbage call on tre white to that joke of a call.
Wayne Arnold Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 What really pissed me off is when the guy announced "The ruling on the field has been confirmed." These guys truly don't have a clue.
Jay_Fixit Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 And announcers calling it a jet sweep need to stop.

Expand Or they could probably double down, say it's the correct call, and use it in teaching sessions like they did the Clay Matthews penalty?

It wasn't the worst in terms of impact but it could not have been an easier reversal. Mahomes and Brady use that play and when it works it is called a completion, not a rush. Can anyone explain? Expand Think it was because it looked exactly the same as if he’d dropped the ball. There was no forward arm motion that I could see. He just released it with his hand. The intent was a shovel pass but you can’t go by intent. If he had just dropped it, it would’ve looked exactly the same. Guessing that was it. I actually thought it was a fair call for that reason.
Paulus Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Only way they can say it was a fumble is bc the ball was simply dropped into the runners grasp, with no forward movement. That is not what happened, though.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Getting really tired of the NFL apology letter saying, Yeah we boned you again, but at least we used KY instead of extra crunchy peanut butter with glass shards.
Matt_In_NH Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 The evidence was clear and convincing....no clue how that was not a pass.

apuszczalowski Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 It was funny how everyone associated with the Broadcast were even saying it should be overturned and an incomplete pass. Romo, the NFL Rules guy that CBS has working for them even said the same thing, no one understood how that play is ruled a fumble.
Acantha Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 The only thing I could think at the time was that they were saying Allen didn't have possession of the ball before pushing it forward. I think the replay was clear, but it's all I could think of.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 The flip was to Marcus Murphy, but it was a bad call nonetheless. 1
Augie Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 I’m just glad we don’t get an apology letter saying “sorry we screwed you into a loss!”
noacls Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 3 games, 3 first year officials running the crew. Thanks NFL
