Why wasn’t that reviewed automatically from upstairs. The Bills got robbed all the way around. By the way, where is our owner? What does he have to say about all this?

Getting his piece of the NFL revenue share.

But a call did decide it, intentional grounding my butt if anything a fumble that we recovered but in reality it was a horse collar.

It may have changed the scoreboard early, but it didn't decide the game.

Why 3 steps now or it isn't a catch? So every time someone only has 2 feet inbounds before going out of bounds will it be considered an incomplete catch because there wasn't 3 steps? Bills got hosed yet again! This Bills consistently getting screwed has got to stop.

Brown had it and the guy knocked it out of his hands that’s why Brown reacted asbit were a fumble.  I don’t know what is a catch anymore a couple weeks ago they gave instant possesion to Sutton from the Broncos on a that TD and reversed the call on the field.  NFL is so bad at what is a catch and what isn’t.

Also they should be calling it a fumble if unsure so it gets an automatic review

The Bills get one more score in regulation they win.

No it wasn’t a fumble. It was close but it was an incomplete pass

They likely reviewed it quickly and decided the call would stand...it's called an Express booth review and  usually happens when there is clear evidence to either overturn or let it stand without going thru a review

Yes I understand and know what that is. It that moment it should not have been an express review. It should’ve been stopped and looked at 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

When did a third step become necessary?

 

It's like they make up rules on the fly

I thought it was a clear fumble too. He turned with the ball. I’ve seen it go the other way 100 times. How it was never even reviewed is laughable but expected after the joke that was the officiating today

The entire game was an officiating abomination.  The league clearly will continue to help along its revenue favorites.  And that's never going to end. Hochuli and his crew should be suspended.

It shouldn't have came down to that play.  On to the draft, just like old times!

Either call would have been both right and wrong.

Glad they didn't let a call decide the game. 🤷‍♂️

It kind of did. In my mind. At least review it

Sutton was given instant possesion on his TD here a couple weeks ago.

[SoCal Deek]

It was NOT a fumble….as much as I was praying it was

No way. That was incomplete.

He made a textbook crisp catch with two hands, took two steps while tucking it into his body and had the ball punched out be a defender. What else do you need?

[BuffBillsForLife]

It was incomplete, he simply didn't have the ball long enough for it to be a catch.  

 

Also refs really, really do not like making calls that DIRECTLY end a game, so an overturn was never going to happen.

But, it did?

[Dr.Sack]

I loved not going for 2

[CSBill]

It was the right call. 

[Livinginthepast]

Too quick! He needed another step and that's a fumble. But there was no way we were getting that call because:

 

1. The officiating crew was obviously incompetent

2. The officiating crew was obviously bias for Philadelphia

3. Mean Gene Steratore put his instant opinion in and he is NEVER WRONG and obviously influences the decisions in NY on these calls

4. The Bills never get that call in any decade ever!
