YoloinOhio Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Joe and Evan on WFAN are bitching about the call on the FG that gave the Bills the ball at the 2. They said that Lawrence did nothing. I didn’t see the replay They are also so pissed at how good Oliver looks and Quinnen already hurt

Giant dude supposedly slapped the center's head, who in FG situations is considered a defenseless palyer. He did touch him, but it wasn't that bad at all. But, they called a few bad ones against us as well, so ya know... refs suck.

clayboy54 Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 After looking at the game replay, he DID slap Ferguson on the side of his helmet. That is indeed contact to the head of a defenseless player.

I mean, I wasn't beating my chest for a flag there, but you better believe that I lost my shizz when Allen got driven to the ground and Ford was the one with the penalty, when Knox got called for unnecessary roughness when he tensed up before someone collided with him and they picked up the flag in the 4th.

I guess so...that whole pre-game segment is kinda lame though: "Give us your upset of the week pick" and Cowher thinks the Giants who are at home as only -1.5 dogs, would be his upset of the week?

Yeah, even the Ex referee they had in the announcing booth questioned that call. But he also noted that it is a “defenseless player” penalty and the refs generally will call it if it’s even in the ballpark.But I’ll take it. Like so many posters have already said, we have been on the other side of these calls, it seems, way too many times. 1

And unless I'm mistaken, they threw a flag on Allen for intentional grounding! That was declined for the personal foul penalty against Ford. That play they couldn't have gotten more wrong! But, I guess they made up for it with the FG call. It's today's NFL... The refs are abysmal and unless you're a highly favored and big market team, you HAVE to be able to overcome the bias and bad calls against you.

This is an example of what "culture" looks like. True...it's also an example of what a team with a championship focus sounds like. Nobody is here to win one game, or two games, or to make the playoffs. This team is here to win it all...and while they're probably not going to perform at that level just yet, it's incredibly important to inculcate that mindset into your leaders.

Yeah, I had the sound off and I didn't realize it until I went through the play by play today. I have no idea how that was intentional grounding. He was clearly out of the pocket, and in the process of being hit. Brady gets 15 yards and a personal apology from the player for hitting him and the refs for letting him get hit.

The grit / mental toughness the Bills displayed in game 1. Showing more of the same game 2, better execution. Beating the G - men and the Jets back to back on the road impressed the hell out of me Oldtimer. MERCY! 1

That dude seems to have gone AWOL since Allen starting looking like a Qb back in the summer time. I'm still here. Just have a lot more on my plate with a new baby and new responsibilities at work. It's way too early to tell if he'll succeed long term but he's been better this year, particularly on 3rd down. He's still got a long way to go though.
