Pass Interference?

[ExiledInIllinois]

Oh... I forgot this one too:

Want me to walk down memory lane of all the horrible no-calls that totally ***** -ed the Bills throughout their history.  I know you really, really don't want me to do that... Now do you! 😆 

 

Collinsworth is full of *****! Obviously,  grabbing laundry is NOT automatic holding or DPI.  He's a Bills hater.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Bluntly: if you don't watch in real time and look at the slow motion then yes it is DPI.

 

But this group of refs was going "let 'em play" when the Giants receivers were lunging to trip up the Bills players well before the ball got there. 

[NoHuddleKelly12]

We’re fans. That pass entitles us to agree with calls that go our way and sharpen pitchforks when they do not. I invoke my privilege to congratulate the refs on finally not throwing out a hankie for this play at least. 

[RangerDave]

I'm not a rules expert by an means, but can't a DB contact a receiver within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage?  Does it change when it is first and goal to go?

[zow2]

The refs gave it the 'ol "we called a penalty on the previous play and gave you (Giants) one untimed down from the one, we are not calling another one"

[Dablitzkrieg]

That's why you wear white gloves.  

[Roundybout]

It was more PI than the one that gave them the extra untimed down haha

[SoonerBillsFan]

It 100% was and I say... tough $#!!

 Lol.  It's past time we get a zebra to not rule in our favor. Especially after the crap show ref wise in London.

It wasn't... Because these weren't in 2021 when Bills lost to to Bucs down in Tampa in 2021 and had to play on the road in KC during the playoffs that year:

 

 

That was far more egregious and wasn't called.

Yes they can. 

 

And there was a lot of holding missed on that last Giant's drive.  

[JohnBonhamRocks]

I could see it being called either way as there was clearly a lot of grabbing but as some point out it was from both sides. My guess is the players’ size mismatch did Waller no favors in the ref’s head.

Looks like PI to me. Can you imagine if a Giant CB did this to a Bill?

 

Sure looks like the Bills caught a huge break. 

 

What does everyone think?

 

I'm sure you cheered when the refs ate the flag in the first quarter on the DPI or two. Don't worry, your Dolphins won.

[Matt_In_NH]

Yes it was PI, I have not heard anyone really disagree except the rules guy in the booth.

Ridiculous. Stop embarrassing yourself with non sense allegations. 

[BillsFan130]

It was PI.

 

Although I don’t think the Bernard penalty was PI so it evens out

I'll answer your question from the OP - it doesn't matter what we think, no flag, no penalty, no Bills loss, no happiness for NewCam.

In real time it looked like high quality sticky coverage. You never get the flag in that situation. Nor should you. 

I like the no call personally. I would have preferred the no call in last years SB. 

 

Years ago, the refs would intentionally eat the whistle and let the guys play. Only obvious and outrageous penalties would be called in these types of situations. 

 

Today's mondern day football is way too soft and the refs make way too many game changing calls. 

[DrDawkinstein]

It was, but they just called a far more ticky-tack DPI call to give the Giants an extra try to win from the 1yd line. The fact they didnt run Barkley there is on the Giants.

 

Lots of calls were missed in this game. And far too many were made. These refs were on screen all night.

[BearNorth]

Seems that a DB who is beaten who trips the receiver with his foot is never going to be called based on last night. "Incidental contact"

[Not at the table Karlos]

There was DPI on the last two plays. But oh well. They missed some against us and we've lost games the same way.
