GoBills808 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 13 minutes ago, Pete said: Why isn’t one WR at least in the end zone? Who is Josh supposed to throw to? either Kincaid or Knox is running a corner EZ but to me it looks like it's just designed to lift Baker it's not a very sharp route at the top tho and it doesn't occupy Baker long enough so he's able to come down and make the tackle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Watch the ALL 22 from Allen’s viewpoint he felt once he caught it that Johnson should be able to make it a couple yards and score. Ty just didn’t part was him and part was a great defensive play. The strip sack I don’t know what Allen is expected to do Torrence literally forgot to block Wilkens and the ball just fell in his lap. The two ints are just Josh’s year long problems syncing with Gabe Davis. There’s something wrong there but Gabe never ever bails out his QB he can ow goto the Giants for 18 mill a year 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a mistake. But if you get past that, it was a good throw to an open guy and it looked like Johnson was going to score until Baker blew him up with a helmet to helmet hit at the goal line. Why no flag there? It was blatant and knocked Johnson out of the game with a concussion. And any fines? I have not heard of any report week 18 fines and I looked for them.

Had they scored and everything else played out the same that final dolphins drive would have been different and the tension would have been gone Josh a dawg…..don’t put a bone in front of him and expect him not to take it…. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no flag there? It was blatant and knocked Johnson out of the game with a concussion. Everyone who’s being objective asks the same question. That and the obvious PI on Knox in the end zone right before Josh throws the pick on the 1st drive, are 2 missed calls that could have changed the outcome. Bills could have been up 21 to 7 at the half instead of down 14 to 7. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf63 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 3 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I had no issues with the throw. He got tackled at the 1. It was a good effort all around. There were no receivers in the end zone , so it would have had to been a throw away. Poor play design maybe someone deeper in the end zone would have drawn the safety away. 3 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: I think it's a simple as the ref didn't see it or wasn't sure and didn't want a game changing play on uncertainty.

QCity Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 If that was a WR I'd wager good money a flag would've been thrown. RB's just don't seem to get that call with any regularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf63 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 2 hours ago, LeGOATski said: In the USFL, the booth ref is constantly watching the replay, so when he sees that type of thing not called, he calls down to the ref to stop the game and they correct it. They're able to do it before the next play even starts. It wastes no time and is so easy. That would cause the NFL to lose control of the outcome. 1 hour ago, 78thealltimegreat said: Watch the ALL 22 from Allen’s viewpoint he felt once he caught it that Johnson should be able to make it a couple yards and score.

oldmanfan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Ball had to be thrown in the end zone with no TOs. If it’s complete a TD, incomplete you kick the FG. Nobody open throw it away and take the FG. In playoff football you take points when you can get them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 1 hour ago, Shaw66 said: I was fine with the decision by Josh. In retrospect of course, it cost the Bills a field goal, and I get the argument that therefore the throw needs to go into the end zone. But in the moment, that was a play that looked like a touchdown. A throw to a running back on the two, on the run, is almost always a TD. You have to trust your teammates to make plays. Josh made that decision. The Dolphins just made a better play. My stream froze right when Josh released the ball so I had a lot of time to look at it and I was pretty sure it was gonna be a td 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 3 hours ago, blitzboy54 said: There are two problems here. First no call on the helmet to helmet (this being the second BEYOND obvious foul that should have been called, first being the Knox PI) the other issue is McD waisted the last TO with 57 seconds left. We were over the 50, had a first down and plenty of time. Just spike it. It may be a complete coincidence but since the Dunne article after the Philly game, it's almost as if McDermott is getting out of the way and making the correct game management decisions, or at least allowing them to be made. I can't recall yelling over a dumb timeout, bad challenge, giving the opponent the wind in the 2nd and 4th, etc. Even the 4th-and-puss they tried at the 2 minute warning they followed up with a 4th-and-push, which was the right game management decision even if it failed (though it'd be nice to have a changeup, you could see them catching up to the fastball) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breese866 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I have been waiting for someone to start this topic. MCDermott at halftime said that the throw should have been into the end zone. I disagree. It should have been a defenseless receiver penalty and one more down at the goal line. Also should have been PI on Knox before that and Cook should have caught the TD after that. I don't agree with Allen getting any criticism there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, I am not as hard on refs as most because I have done it. Not NFL, middle school level. Even at that level, you miss calls because there’s so many things going on. Basketball is tougher though IMO. So yes, missed call for sure but I take as it happens and there’s 150 other plays that can be made.
