It’s not an opinion call. There is no black and white. It was a penalty that should have been called.  There were several today.  

 

Diggs initiated every bit as much of that contact as the DB; two guys fighting for position on a game-deciding play.

No call.

Colts have overtaken us; we're out of the Play Offs as it stands.

I think Bills still have 7th slot with Bengals lost.

No more fans at the ***** airport till we win something. 

Whenever I see people line up at the airport for anything less than a SB win….you all look like 🤡. 
 

Massaging the ego of millionaires after a loss. Give me a break. 

[Success]

This season has been gut-wrenching - the opposite of the run we went on in '20.

 

2 in a row, just like that.  A chance to win from inside the 10.

 

There is no choice:  this team HAS to win out now.

If Evans hasn't tackled him, he would have been able to make a play for the interception. Seems like some people want defensive backs to just run backwards the whole play.

If he turned his head, he would have been able to make the play for the interception, regardless of Evans, Evans was reaching for the ball, it's interference because the DB's head wasn't turned when it was obvious by Evans' motions that the ball was on the way.

Did Sky get it wrong? They showed us at eight.

Yes, they got it wrong 

[Coach Tuesday]

Not understanding why their go-to play seems to be a fade to short receivers.  We’ve seen a lot of it and it almost never works.

[Billschinatown]

I'll say this...AT LEAST the Bills felt alive for the first time in weeks. Bring on the Patriots.

[BeastMaster]

Definitely inexcusable to bail out Evans after Diggs got screwed not once, but twice.

 

Garbage, but not surprising in the least

How do you blame the refs for that first possession in OT? 3 and out and Diggs again look confused and for the flag.

I don’t.  I blame them for the game winning drive.

The refs were terrible, but it seems like these missed calls might be in Diggs head. He spends more time looking for a flag than fighting for the ball the past few weeks. 

 

The point is he's not Mike Adams or a bigger WR, he should try to set up the DB and get open with his god given ability. At least I would rather the DB win the battle instead of throwing a 50/50 ball.

Someone has to come in high

Uhhh, no, a professional mlb needs to be able to get an opposing rb on the ground when he meets him in the hole. Period.

[BernieBill]

Btw, Diggs was simply terrible in this game.

I don't know if I'd have thrown a flag there; that's two guys scrappin at the goal line late.

Why does late in the game matter? It was much later when they made the call against Wallace.

Gotta say, love the heart shown by the team. Josh Allen was stellar in the 2nd half especially. I take a few things away from this game. One of the biggest is that McDermott is holding this team back.

 

He constantly preaches toughness and coaches scared. He tells his team "I don't trust you to gain 3 yards" in a big spot and punts. Officiating and McDermott cost this team a great comeback win.

Our inability to stop the run is killing us.  When you allow the RB to get 5-6 yards after contact and thereby giving their Offense a chance on a short yardage is really killing this team...It hurt us last week and hurt us this week.

Yet McD still has his defenders.

Better talent can keep games out of reach of the refs. Bills still lack too much talent to be a good team.

Oh bull#### it would have been first down on the one yard line, we also would have had at least a field goal in the first half. I’m tired of you people covering for ***** officiating. It absolutely determined the game whether you admit it or not. How we played doesn’t matter, we were in a position to win, the cheating ref ignored the call.

[Nelius]

Bulldog fired up!
