Not at the table Karlos Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 On 9/28/2020 at 1:41 AM, Tolstoy said: I thought it was an egregious call as well. Then I asked myself: what is the alternative? Remember that the Rams player had possession of the ball on the ground. So we have three options, maybe 4: (1) Incomplete pass. Impossible. The ball never hit the ground. (2) Kroft catch. Impossible. He didn't have possession at the end of the play. (3) Catch and fumble? Impossible. Kroft didn't have possession long enough, and didn't make a "football move," whatever that is. (4) Interception. As absurd as it is (since the Rams player didn't catch the darn ball), it seems more reasonable than the alternatives! Am I mistaken here? I do prefer to blast the refs, but in this case they may not have had another call they could have made. Expand I stopped reading at “rams player had possession of the ball on the ground” if you’re gonna make a post about it at least watch the play. 1
SDS Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I anticipate the NFL apologizing this week. 8 3

Think about if that's what you want. 1

At no point did he lose possession. 3
3rdnlng Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 There was a secret memo changing the rules and allowing the defender to have his foot in the crease.

Augie Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 That was the worst call since the Saints got screwed out of a Super Bowl appearance. Period. 4 1

Expand Just apply the penalty for the receiver's push off... that's what should have been done. Cancels the catch... still Bill's ball. LA player got the ball after both players were on the ground.

Absolutely mind numbing that they would stick up for that awful call. 1

formerlyofCtown Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 The reality of it is the league can't afford to have the Bills blow out the LA Rams with the Lakers doing well in the playoffs at the same time. The NFL is a business. They pretend to have morals and support things but in the end all they care about is their brand and $$$$ 2 1

ROCBillsBeliever Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 THIS is the headline on E-Sucks-to-be-a-joke-and-a-Bob-Kraft-disciple-PN... They patently ignore the fake interception, and use BS calls to make it seem like the Bills stumbled into a win... The narrative SHOULD be that the National media stumbled into reporting, when it comes to the Bills. They flat out INVENT $#!t to keep their fat, stupid trolls happy about their HOT takes from the 2018 draft... Hope you, National FLEAdia, enjoy the FACT that the MF Buffalo Bills are 3-0, despite your BS narratives, invented calls, and $#!T excuses. 1
