Gugny Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 It's bad enough that I was at a bar for the Bills/Titans game at noon. So over an hour, I watched that ***** play on 20 different TVs at least 30 ***** times. And now ... this ... Ugh. 1 minute ago, Sherlock Holmes said: But could Tebow's quadruple A team beat the Mets?

Talley56 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Yeah, I've always felt that it was ever so slightly backwards. It was maybe be just the slightest few inches backwards but hey backwards is backwards. It looks backwards to me when you see the angles straight down the line. At best it was exactly level which, as mentioned a few posts up, goes to a backward lateral. Also, let's not forget one of the biggest plays in the comeback was Don Beebe catching a TD pass after stepping out of bounds. Therefore anyone who takes joy in the comeback has pretty much revoked their right to complain about the lateral. 1

Matt_In_NH Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Honestly....It was super close and the video is inconclusive....... as a fan it was a forward lateral all ***** day and twice on Sunday Edited October 9, 2019 by mattynh

Complete judgement call and impossible to overturn the call on the field. Should have put them away before that happened anyways. It was not the Bills best game. It didn't matter anyway. That team wasn't going deep in the playoffs. Benching Flutie was your kharma.... 1

But I don't get why an official didn't call it because it APPEARS to be a forward lateral because of that very issue. If you're up to watching the replay, you'll see the official wasn't in position, still moving up the sideline. He called the play while running.
Scott7975 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 forward pass with my eyeballs. I remember some computer geeks made some model of the play and determined by computer science to be forward as well.
GoBills808 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 As a courtesy to other members please use more descriptive titles as ‘lateral’ implies the ball did not travel forward which it obviously did as is clearly the case to anyone with working eyeballs. Thank you

mykidsdad Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 It is a forward pass no matter how you look at it. The refs were afraid because of the home crowd. As much of a soap opera as that 99 Bills team was it may have been the best Defense in the league that year. We win that game, we make the Superbowl. Zero question. 2 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: It's enough to make one ask "who else have I seen start piles of inane threads like this?" IT's the bye week.....
Doc Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 It was a forward pass. And Schefter said he had the perfect view of the play and it was a forward pass and he has no reason to lie in favor of the Bills.
