Weird, I coulda swore Diggs getting held again thus causing us to punt qualifies as the refs causing it.

Obviously. But it certainly prevented 1st and goal from the 1 with 22 seconds left.  Tell me Allen doesnt score with 4 cracks

I’ll just say this, if the point spread swayed the officals, the Bills would have gotten those calls

That’s your defense of the officiating not effecting the outcome of the game?  The Bills went 3 and out on the first drive.

NFL reports me for using copyrighted content, YouTube informs them I didn't, and I'll never use their footage.  What I'll be doing is taking to tasks how corruption operats in my next video.  Whomever wanted me taken down tried to supress me in a stupid move without watching the full video.  It's one thing to have Nintendo or Konami take my videos for management training... it's another for the NFL to outright not watch a fans video and then d something incredibly stupid and remove their compliant within seconds.

I've read several Donald E. Westlake books (they were all great) but I don't recall any mention of the collusion between refs that Thriftygamer talked about.  Can you list the titles that include those charges?  Even if they're books I've already read I would enjoy any excuse to read or re-read a Westlake book.  And I strongly recommend those books to anyone.

True, but Tampa also got a great spot and inconsistent PI to aid their game winning drive.  
 

We all know it should’ve never even gotten to OT though, so I’m really not interested in playing this game.  
 

Most games where we whine about refs, sure, take some ownership… but this game was different.  The fans of 30 other teams all know it too. 

[Nextmanup]

Officiating is terrible; it's consistently bad; it impacts both teams in the games.

 

Over the course of a season, it probably more or less evens out.

 

It is there as a problem to be overcome for ALL TEAMS.

 

You KNOW it will be a problem.

 

It's up to each team to fight through the best they can.

It's ridiculous to keep making this an issue, though this board will continue to B word about this FOREVER.

Don't forget about the TV Signal suddenly Flashing all Blue and going in and out and wonky RIGHT while they started showing the replay of the Levi Wallace Pass Interference call in OT.   They didn't want anybody to be able to watch it again.  I thought it was just my TV.  Nope.  Hmmmm.

The thing I don’t get is….it’s Tuesday. This ***** has been happening to us for at least 15 years with Brady. Brady, Rodgers Big Ben and maybe Russel Wilson get almost every PI call imaginable for the last decade. Especially at home. It’s a free 10-14 points every game. It’s a wonder those teams ever lose at home actually. It’s never going to change. What’s the point in worrying about it or complaining? It’s going to happen every time and at this point, just accept it.

That's a weird way to spell "these other teams aren't good enough to beat us without refs handing them the game".

Yea I have never once this season been like wow refs really cost us this one.  Then this game happened and I remember the entire first half thinking ‘thank god this is a blowout or id be so pissed at the refs right now’ 🤣 then we started coming back and I was like ok now I’m retroactively mad at the refs.  Then diggs gets mugged in the end zone and I’m like ok that’s kind of bs but they don’t normally call stuff like that late in games…I thought they owed us but whatever.  Then Levi got called for dpi in OT and I absolutely lost it.  He did such a nice job staying in position while avoiding contact on that play

Losing to the other team is one thing but losing because of the refs on a non-call that was obvious is a joke.  The NFL is supposed to be a sport not the WWE.

[LABILLBACKER]

The NFL owes the Bills organization an apology for that Diggs debacle. They'll easily get their magic Bill v Brady SB at our expense.

Even if the Bills can't win it this year I think KC and GB will have something to say about the Bill vs Tom rematch.

Jags game?  Sure it wasn't our best game, but there were countless uncalled Jags penalties and other oddities in a game we only lost by 3.

This team should have been set up with first and goal at the one, with four chances to win in regulation.

 

In what universe is that "not good enough to win?"

Aaron and Patricia better prepare now to get hosed. The money generated for a monster Brady V Belichick SB would be astronomical.  This is the one they've been praying for. The calls will be disguised but enough to steer the outcome. Sorry no State Farm SB this year.  Probably next.

Yea gb got hosed last year when there was considerably less bucs hype train.  Then kc kind of got screwed in the superbowl because they completely changed the rules on their defense.  Granted bucs would’ve won that game anyway but it still left a pretty bad taste in peoples mouths I think. Then what happens week 1 of the new season…Godwin gets away with an absurd push off on the game winning play to beat Dallas.  If officials are just human  and it’s supposed to even out…where are the controversial calls costing the bucs games?

Amazing how Bills still have the 8th best odds of winning the Super Bowl. Almost like the National Media and Vegas believes in them more than their own fans. Pathetic.

After what the Chiefs got away with against our receivers in the AFCCG, I don't want to hear about them crying in the Super Bowl.

Because we had a bad first half you automatically are not allowed to win because games end at halftime around here 😂 doesn’t matter we won the second half 24-3(cmon it was really 28-3) because the bucs defense was just letting us score since they had a big lead I’ve been told.  Still waiting on their explanation for why we don’t get credit for holding the most infamous qb for running up the score with the best offensive roster in the league to only 3 points in the second half though
