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!!!

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.

The NFL will announce it a was a wrong call later this week, undoubtedly...

 

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 meant nothing but there is zero way to explain the no reversal on the flip to McCloud called a fumble.

 

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?

 

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.

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.

Refs blew the fumble call. I was an incomplete pass 

 

 

You don't have to own up.  No one with eyes actually believed you were a fumble anyway.

Has it taught Clay Matthews anything? ?

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.

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.

It was simply the wrong call. When Tony Romo asked their referee analyst about the call he simply said that it was a bad call.
