YO!!!!!!!!!! I used to love Booger McFarland, his asinine comment about selfishness pretty much finishes me off with his blowhard opinions.

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 So if we are to believe that the refs made the right call, they miss several of these calls every game when an O lineman blocks a rusher that gets by them and tries to circle back to the QB. If they are blocking parallel to the line of scrimmage it is a blindside block. This penalty happens 20 times a game. 2 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) If it’s the rule ok, but the fine seems ridiculous. Duke Johnson got away with two of these during the game btw, both times on Edmunds, where he lunged backwards throwing a shoulder in. Including 1 on a TD run. I don’t blame this for the Loss, but the fine is ridiculous to me. Edited January 11, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1

If everything were black & white, the kick-off mishap would’ve been a Bills touchdown. Instead they apply ‘common sense’ along with intent, and the call goes in favor of Houston. That likely would’ve been the game right there. In Ford’s case, yes, he was mostly facing his end zone, however it was minimal contact, and FAR from a blindside hit. (I would feel otherwise if it truly was a defenseless player getting completely blown up... but far from the case). At that point in the game, common sense should also be applied. I also highly doubt the Texans would’ve complained about that block if it weren’t called! That should not have been a penalty, and it potentially was the game decider. And to put a fine on top of it.... just unbelievable. I think this is a pretty fair point. "let them play" and not wanting ticky-tack bullcrap to decide a playoff game should go BOTH WAYS. 2
njbuff Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 If I’m Ford, I am NOT paying one f-Ing cent of this fine. If I’m the Pegula’s, I’m not paying either.
Nick the Greek Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 It can’t be a blind side block if the opponent sees the hit coming. Watch the replay. The dude for Texans was not blind sided at all. 1

gjv001 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Talk about pouring salt on a wound. From my perspective the league should be apologizing to Ford and then fine themselves. 2 1
CincyBillsFan Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I'm not surprised given that deeply corrupt and/or incompetent institutions often double down rather then admit a mistake. 3

Seriously, **** the NFL Now that’s funny. I bet the Pegulas would pay for it if they could. I like the idea though. Now Ford can pay them in pennies. In all seriousness, this really does suck for Ford, and he didn’t deserve it, just like it was very iffy that was actually a penalty. 1

At least we see that it’s not just our fans that thought the “penalty” was a complete joke. Not even close to just bills fans... I haven’t seen anyone think it was a good call including dean blandino. Especially because the refs ignored everything else the whole game Edited January 11, 2020 by YoloinOhio
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 1 hour ago, NoSaint said: it’s a negotiated tiered system in the CBA. I don’t recall first, second offense etc... but outside of egregious hits it tends to just follow that system if that’s the case, then I’m actually okay with this. If all blindside blocks or all of a certain fouls has an automatic fine, then it’s objective and negotiated for. if there is discretion in when to award the fine and how much, then Ford really got screwed. This was no “Hines ward block.”
