Do you think they're trying to "protect" the NFL and its officials? Yes, the replays during the game baffle me now. They don't seem as frequent or detailed as before imo. It could be because of the tempo of the game in many instances, but I think they should surely revisit things more so than they have been so the people at home can get more pissed off and cuss at the television that much more.
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Great anticipation but I feel like if the camera angle were truly down the line (this one is situated behind the offense) then it may show he was into the neutral zone before the ball had moved. I mean, I can't tell for sure but in any event it was so close I can understand the call. (I was in the stadium, right in front of that play and it sure looked off-sides live).
BuffaloRebound Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 It was super close. Can’t fault ref. If he’s able to time the snap that well, Phillips should line up a foot farther back. He’ll still blow up the play and it will be more obvious no call to ref.

The Ref has eagle eyes on that play. One penalty on the Steelers they guy just moved his knee for a false start. 1

No. He was just that amazing. I remember that that as well i was soo young but what I really remember is my dad going completely out of his mind yelling that’s his jersey!!!!!!!!
TroutDog Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 6 hours ago, Warcodered said: Him and Tasker were talking about it on One Bills Live said something about it being lined up with a good view of the center and finding tells for when he's going to snap it. Yup! And he said he’s gonna keep doing it. He further said that he hasn’t worked nose/1 tech much so he would watch Star and see what he did to get an idea of when the snap is coming. He has the speed to make it matter.
Livinginthepast Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I don't think it was a penalty. At the time I rewound it on the pvr and played it back in slow mo. He timed it perfectly. But at the same time you are dealing with old man officials who have an obscured view. So he will always get that call. Not as egregious as the phantom facemask call and the questionable hold at the end of the game.
Big Gun Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Sick of the Bills getting bad call after bad call go against them. That play, the face mask on Edmunds play, the countless PI against the Stillers that were not called. It's just old and worn out. Call the damn game the right way without the favoritism interjected!
Buffalo Junction Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 He predicted the snap count, and it’s difficult to tell at game speed. He certainly seemed to react faster than the center, which is why I think the flag got thrown. The key here is going to be the bills sending stills to the league and McD harping on the refs so they understand that our DTs just get off the ball that quickly.... Kyle used to do that a few times a year and the refs stopped penalizing it after it was expected. Same goes for other DTs that had great reaction times and first steps; Sapp, Randle, etc. If Phillips keeps timing these perfectly it will become a “known ability”.
TigerJ Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I assume that the Bills (and probably every team in the league sends film to the league office on every bogus call. That was a bad call, but I thought the phantom facemask call on Tremaine Edmunds was worse if only because that ended up being half the distance to the goal (10 yards) versus 5 yards for the Offside.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I did it frame by frame and he is moving forward into the neutral zone before the ball moves. Is he actually in the neutral zone when the snap starts, i can not tell. But i can see why they called the penalty.

badassgixxer05 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Not many DL have that type of explosion, especially being that big. The refs in real time just assume he was offside since he was through before anyone got out of their stance. FREAK!. Lock him down Beane!
MJS Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 9 hours ago, NC Book said: How did he time that so perfectly? I'm watching some werewolf movie right now, and his quickness reminds me of this wolf! He talked about it on One Bills Live. The Steelers hadn't been changing up their snap counts, so he figured he'd give it a try on that play.

elroy16 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 He talked about it on One Bills Drive. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/jordan-phillips-we-ve-done-some-special-things-this-year-but-nobody-s-satisfied Great interview by the way.
WideNine Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 11 hours ago, Stenbar said: They did not show the replay at all on that during the game when it happened. I think everyone just assumed because he was in there so fast it had to be Offside. Everyone was wrong. That was amazing. That should be allowed to be reviewed also. I say review everything until they get it right. Or review nothing. I think coaches should be able to burn their challenge flags on any call other than unsportsmanlike calls. Rather than feel insecure leveraging cameras the refs should just treat it as a chance/time out to use a tool at their disposal that can help them get it right. That goes for that phantom facemask on Edmunds that replays made look so silly.
