I get blown calls here and there .... but not 4 or so in one game. Edited April 23, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan

I get blown calls here and there .... but not 4 or so in one game. i usually PRV and watch games just for the live action i have stopped bothering with replays, they just do whatever the BLEEP they want to no matter how painfully obvious it was, such as the baseball landed 2 feet easily inside the line just past third base. so..... 1) they say "going to replay" 2) i fast forward until i see they are ready to resume 3) i think to myself "oh, they reversed the call" and that's that 4) has probably saved me three heart attacks to date 1

Except that's just not true most of the time. So the replay guys ends up making an over-thought, intellectually biased decision on an inconclusive replay, which IMO is far worse than a ref making a split second call on the spot (when he's only thinking about the call and not the teams, the game situation, etc). It is the absolute worst thing about sports. Expanding reply to PI penalties will be a horrible. 1 minute ago, plenzmd1 said: OT here, but that rule now where PI can be reviewed is a slippery slippery slope.

Prepare to be infuriated Bills fans.

Prepare to be infuriated Bills fans. we want the right call for the team we cheer for but sometimes they can't get to it PI is so subjective, i'll wear out the fast forward button get another case of AA batteries for this nonsense. and it should be at real time speed, not slowed down to picosecond by picosecond analysis, baseball has suffered horribly over this it's almost as bad as the stat-heads out to murder anyone they come across who happens to like their sports as well.... 13 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: has to be only a matter of time that the NHL will institute some form of replay on penalties the best is demand for a computer ump on balls and strikes the count dictates the strike zone, that's just something one has to accept unless they watch sports just to get pissed off because their crappy team lost again 1

We are way past the point to go back now and it gets worse with each passing year in every sport.

Just as in football..once the Sabres out of it not really cheering a team to win, more just cheering for who I want to lose more. I am sure as Sabres fans we want both the Sharks and Blues to lose as early as possible..but there were some funky conditions on the Montour trade so i may be wrong on that. Having said that, I liked Kane as a player, and though I wanted him traded earlier than most due strictly to roster makeup and contract status. I am pretty sure every team left now has an ex-Sabre player that makes me cringe every time i hear his name and cringe. McNabb and 2 2nds for Deslauriers and Fashing...yikes!!!!
