So, there's a horse collar - let's call intentional grounding!

 

Do refs review their lameness at halftime?

 

It was 2 blown calls on the same play.  Gabe Davis was 3 yards away from the play.  The 2 holding calls were ghost calls as well.

Buffalo - 17

Philadelphia + Officials  - 7

 

At least Buffalo was able to limit second quarter penalties to "only" 4, including the intentional grounding where a receiver (Diggs) was in the area and the officials ignored a horse collar tackle.

I'm glad we're the forgotten team, and everyone forgot we got the baddest man in the league. It's even sweeter that we're at Philly beating both the Eagles and the Zebras.

He should have thrown it away earlier, or just taken the sack. But it shouldn't have mattered as he was horsecollared.

He would’ve broken that tackle if he wasn’t horsecollared…this wasn’t  just a ‘bills would’ve benefited from a player safety rule’ if they got the call type thing.  It was a massive strategic advantage for Philly as well

Not even close lol a few of these OL holds on Buffalo have been absurd…eagles got away with encroachment and bills got hosed with a false start on a play too.  the Douglas defensive holding call I didn’t hate though 

 

I feel they were ticky tacky but still legit.  The reason they arent legit is Philly doing the same thing or worse and not getting called.  Hell the first two plays of Philly offense they had our rusher jersey from the back stretched like a rubber band right out in the open.  At least one of those would have been sacks.

I hate kc. Doesnt matter how much they're down, they always come back

The refs are keeping Philly in this game,  Bills need to keep passing the ball

Why can’t Philly play in the slop today? They whooped a physical 49ers team at home in the NFCCG last year. Actually made SF look like little boys.

Kincaid producing again. 5 catches, 38 yrds

Missed Blatant Penalties Bills 0 / Eagles 3/40 

 

F these refs 

This is an epic fail on NFL officiating.  You could take the tape of this game and use it as a training session on what not to do.  And it's not just the horse collar. It's so many other calls.

The league office has to call these charlatans during half time and tell them to tone it down. Right?

I believe the second half will be worse against us as we are winning.  Watch the opening drive. Expect defensive holding calls and PIs

refs cant do anything about it if the eagles dont want the game...the refs are noise. the real bs is hurts and his body language that they cant make a handoff.  Bills no problem today, Philly sold.

McD is basically daring them to pass and they can't.  

 

He doesn't care if the rush gets home with only 4 because the coverage has been amazing today.  Which I'm actually kind of surprised about.

It's obvious the Eagle fix is on.

It’s crazy that they’re down 10 at home with all this reffing going on lol like that’s genuinely humiliating

Can we start a petition to ban the "flowers" thing though? Not sure there is anything I hate more than that phrase in today's NFL commentary. And I blame Kyle Crabbs for it. Who is a Dolphins fan btw....Figures... He's the 1st one I heard say it way back in the Spring I think... Then he got Joe Marino saying it. And then all of a sudden a month or so later I here everyone saying it. 

 

I really hate it... 

[FLFan]

That was the worst officiated half of football I have ever seen.  Kudos to the Bills for fighting through it to a 10 point lead, but the lead should be larger.  The Bills absolutely dominated that first half.

Snapping salts, lts GO!!

Philly refs teleported to screw Denver on a 4th and 12 for Cleveland with a PF for unnecessary putting a shoulder into the QB chest while in throwing motion
