Don Otreply Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 It was such a BS penalty to begin with. Go Bills!!! 5 2
All_Pro_Bills Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 They should reduce the game checks for the officials. 11 2 3
njbuff Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 What a joke the penalty and the fine were to begin with. 4
StHustle Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Wow...more than an 85% reduction in the fine. Is $28k a cookie cutter fine amount for blind side blocks or did some schmuck in the NFL corporate office review the play and determine it deserved such an asinine fine? That's what I'm curious to know.
Nuncha Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Never should have been a penalty let alone a fine. Total BS. 3

Beast Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Hefty price for basically standing in someone's way. 1
Augie Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 So.....are we still in the playoffs? Is there a do-over??? Glad he got screwed out of less cash, but that call was BS and had huge consequences. 2 2
gjv001 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Don't care what anyone else thinks, that knuckleheaded call cost us the game.

The call that really cost us the game was the officials inventing a new rule about procedures during kickoffs. On the KO for the second half, the Houston receiver fumbled the ball, and the Bills scored, and the ref correctly called it a touchdown. That would have made it 20-0. Instead they did what kids do in the back yard, making up rules as they go. The Ford block was a terrible call. It was not blind side at all. Ford was at about 10 o'clock to the guy, in front and to the side. There's nothing blind about that. And Ford didn't go attack the guy, the guy basically ran into Ford. The other terrible call was on the Allen run in OT where Knox missed a block, and the Houston defender speared Allen in the helmet. No call at all. The correct call would have put the Bills in middle range FG range, possibly ending the game right there. So the Bills get a BS penalty against them, and a BS non-call against them, and a BS rule change in the middle of a playoff game. 2 2

Rules experts have stated it didn’t meet the criteria. Now go back to your hating... It's clearly a penalty by the current rules. Look at the example starting at :53 of the video. It's nearly identical to the foul called on Ford. I think it's a bad rule because the QB, unlike other players, is likely to stop before he gets to the LOS so that he can throw the ball, so allowing the OL to protect his blindside is important for safety and the defender can see the blocker coming, but it's a foul none-the-less right now.

1915 Buffalo Bill Cody fan Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Cody Ford made a textbook FRONT TO FRONT block protecting Josh from pursuing shorthorn in Houston.....to flag Cody was the illegal referee way of accepting bribes to favor a Texan win ....Cody NEVER touched a spine or buttocks when his hands block to the front shoulder pads stood up the onrusher....Cody should win the BEST BLOCK OF THE 2019 SEASON AWARD and Roger Goodell should terminate the referee from all NFL games and fire the idiot who fined Cody go BILLs 2
