I mean rules are meant to be applied as seen fit. Carry on. more like the dumb fanbase who cant appreciate a playoff team that played its heart out all year and over achieved. You carry on. I am upset about the horrible officiating. But really? A lawsuit because our team lost a game?

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Of course the lawsuit wouldn’t be about money but just to bring attention to the rule that got overlooked and a play clock that had two zeros on it. I would do this just to see the NFL have to comment on it. Either way ratings will drop more and more because this ***** looks rigged. 1
reddogblitz Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 A couple of things. I don't know about a lawsuit, but Kim should raise holy hell with the league over this. 2 rules were blown on that play. Probably the worst was that they over ruled a TD called on the field without video review. WTF. Just because a team isn't having a good games doesn't mean they deserve to get piled on by the refs Too. Texans weren't having that great of a game either. 1

Freddie's Dead Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 3 hours ago, Shaw66 said: I'm a lawyer. If the Saints and their fans couldn't win last year, the Bills and their fans wouldn't win. In theory, to win in court, you have to have a right of some kind that was violated. A constitutional right, a statutory right, a contract right, something. If we have anything as fans, it's a contract right. But what we have is a right to entertainment, not a right to an outcome. We got the entertainment. Intentional infliction of emotional distress?

Trogdor Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 The Bills benefitted from a similar call earlier in the season after an Int. I think it was White, just ran around and threw the ball after the interception and they ruled that he gave himself up. 1

It can’t succeed. It’s not a disagreeable call. It’s the actual RULE not being followed. I guarantee you there is a lawyer that would take this case and could at least get a large settlement in mediation out of it before an actual trial. 1

Why do you continue to bash fans that want to celebrate their team through thick and thin? You sound like a typical bandwagon fan that bails when things dont go well. 2

Good faith bad calls aren’t grounds for damage. You’re probably right that no one will, but as stated previously in this thread. This situation Is definitively different than the Saints screw job. PI is a subjective call whereas this was an actual set in stone rule with no subjectiveness whatsoever. 1
NoSaint Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 5 hours ago, Do The Reich Thing said: Could the Buffalo Bills or the city of Buffalo, aka its fans, sue the NFL over the kickoff TD that wasn’t a TD? As pointed out it was clearly against the rules in the rule book to overturn the call and they did so anyways. They rewarded for something that was meant to be done rather than what was done. Any lawyers on this site? A bitter and slow Sunday... obviously lol I nominate you to do it 1
