The AJ Brown OT catch was a fumble!!!!

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I typically do the 3 count and I didn’t get to the 3 count. No catch.

I wish I could agree.  He didn’t make the football move 

Tucking it is a football move.

If it was called a fumble on the field like it should have been, there would be no way the booth would overturn it.

 

The last of a series of biased calls in favor of the Eagles throughout the game!!

From start to finish Hercules Jr and his crew absolutely screwed the Bills.  The first half was legendary.  No one will be fired or suspended.  No apologies,  just business as usual for the shield.

Diggs had a catch/fumble they also ruled incomplete. 

He had possession on his knees.  Down by contact as soon as he is touched,  The defender should not then be able to punch it out.

correct

 

a. secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and

b. touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and

c. after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

Also correct.  That should have been a catch and down by contact.  That was ruled the opposite way against us in another game. I cant remember the game but I remember we punched out the ball immediately but the ref ruled forward progress or some crap but should have said down by contact instead.

Looked incomplete to me. Plenty of other officiating problems, though.

[Real McClappy]

I just loved how it was initially ruled a fumble and changed to incomplete within 30secs.

 

Broken league...

IF THAT PLAY WAS A BILLs WR, ITS A FUMBLE!  IF ITS A BILLS DEFENDER, NO CATCH!

The NFL is rigged so why do you watch it?  You put money in their pockets.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

The exact same thing happened in the 8pm game. Fumble. 
Makes me ***** insane.

Never caught the ball.    Stop it 

Watch it again, are you blind? He tucked the ball away, had 2 steps and a turn towards the upfield direction. Definition of a catch and fumble.

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

Could’ve been ruled either way…that was far from the most controversial call of that game lol

I understand we had our chances to win and blew them but that game isn’t even close if the officiating was a little more even in the first half.  I’ve never seen anything like that 

[Livinginthepast]

Definitely not a catch. Too quick! needed another second or another step. That was one of the few calls that trainwreck crew got right. So many bad calls, phantom calls and outright missed calls. I think it could be the worst officiated game I've ever seen (and that includes penalties that were awarded to Philly as well). I also think that the NFL needs to have the eye in the sky call penalties off the ball. That dirty hit on Diggs after the TD was WWE style blind from the officials.

Sure. This has more to do though with a swiss cheese 2nd half defense, a crappy field goal kicker, and a HC over his head.

To be fair - had that been a fumble and recovery we win the game and we are all talking about how heads up poyer was there to strip it and win the game

 

whcih should have been the case becuase it was clearly a fumble

 

twobfeet down fumble ball game over

 

 

[Matt_In_NH]

Nice hot take, the exclamation points are a dead giveaway of a fan-biased hot take.  It was an incomplete pass all day.

Only if that was the rule it would be true.

[Goin Breakdown]

So if he got tackled on the spot then it's a catch, but if he gets it punched out on that same spot it's incomplete. Like I get it but at the same

time it just confuses what a catch is and is not. 

[nucci]

Football move? What other kind of move would they do...baseball?

[st pete gogolak]

 Can anyone put the Brown and K Allen plays up together?  Interested to do a side by side comparison.
