Big Turk Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) This doesn't even make sense...how the hell can the Bills be called multiple times a game it seems, but opponents never do, unless it's Xavien Howard apparently since he has gotten called for defensive holding once each game against the Dolphins and is the only player to have gotten called for it against us? Seems like multiple times a game Bills WRs are getting manhandled with no calls...is this a concerted effort by the NFL officials?? Edited December 14, 2021 by Big Turk 2 1 4 2 Quote
The 9 Isles Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 https://torontosun.com/sports/krykslants-just-one-opposing-defender-all-season-has-been-flagged-for-defensive-holding-vs-the-bills Quote In fact, the only opposing defender in Buffalo’s 13 games to be flagged for defensive holding is Xavien Howard of the Miami Dolphins, once on each occasion the two teams played, in October and November. That’s over 13 games. One defender. Twice. Quote

I don't want to seem like a conspiracy theorist but I mean...I am not sure what else to think...it's almost impossible to imagine how this is possible unless the league has given the refs some sort of directive, especially considering how egregious some of the non-calls have been. Kind of reminds me of Hughes never getting any calls although he gets held on nearly every pass rush, some of them just amazingly obvious right in front of the refs and no flags.

DasNootz Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 For reference, here are the Bills stats vs. teams many consider to be favorites for the NFL (WWE). Buffalo Pass Attempts: 502 Defensive Holding: 2 Def. Pass Interference: 9 KC Pass Attempts: 519 Def. Holding: 15 Def. Pass Interference: 2 NE Pass Attempts: 394 Def. Holding: 3 Def. Pass Interference: 12 1 1 Quote

As Randy Moss would say... "C'mon Man!!!"

I have to wonder if all of that play action they run has an effect on whether or not DB's have that "oh sh't" factor and grab the receiver after falling for the fake. Just postulating, but I think that may play a significant role. 1 Quote
78thealltimegreat Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Pretty obvious this would be a great stat for McDermott to bring up before the New England game if he had the balls to do it with how physical their secondary is 1 1 Quote
nedboy7 Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 I mean what do you expect. McBean drafted Edmunds. Quote
Dan Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 The Pegulas need to take this information, along with the screen captures of Diggs jersey being pulled off him, to the league offices. Demand a meeting with Goodell and ask for an explanation. They have to make it known that they too have spent billions of dollars and support they league, so they too need to be treated fairly by the league’s officials. 3 3 1 3 Quote
DasNootz Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 We've also been called for nearly double roughing the QBs compared to league average, despite having the 4th fewest passes against in the league. 1 1 Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 People please stop with this over used term "conspiracy". The NFL must have a means to steer games. They do it thru their hand picked controlled refs. It's not a conspiracy but a business model. It's been going on for years. Players like Brady get protection because of the revenue they generate. Wake up. 3 3 1 Quote
whorlnut Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 This is a disgusting and embarrassing stat for the league. Especially since multiple holds pretty much cost us the game Sunday. 2 Quote

Just postulating, but I think that may play a significant role. We run play action a ton as well, and before you say something about us not running the ball well, it has already been shown via numerous studies and analytics that running the ball well is of no consequence to whether play action is effective or not...there is simply no way in the world that teams are holding their receivers more than the Bills receivers...and our TE is probably having as good or better a year then either of theirs is.

My first thought was McD should bring it up in the PC and take the fine, but that's only going to put more of a target on the Bills by these bozos. Pegula needs to get the data together and raise hell to NFL brass. Quote
