If you thought we get almost no DPI/Holding calls


Recommended Posts

Why on earth would the defenses we play against even bother to try and hold us? 
 

1. They don’t need to because none of our WRs have been fast and they aren’t trying to slow them down. 

 

2. everyone except Shakir dropped everything thrown at them.

Side note: watched last season's 2nd Bills-Jets game last night (needed a Bills fix). Sauce Gardiner holds or makes illegal contact on every single play. He's as bad as Dolphins' Kohou, who does get flagged.

And one of the three was the phantom one with no time left vs. the Giants.


Every team with single digit PI calls per year but it was too much for the refs to review, right?! F them AND the league that allowed the refs to give a huge 🖕to any questioning of their ‘judgment calls.’ One of the biggest ways scores & outcomes can be influenced to either make games more watchable (ad $) or to please Vegas & gambling.

The fact is, he's more or less correct, in the sense that teams didn't feel the need to be all over the Bills receivers.  Defenders seemed to be able to stay close to the Bills' receivers without having to get to close.  

 

As defenses prepare each week, the emphasis always is what it is that the defense has to stop - the think that can just eat them up.  At the beginning of the season we all would have said that's Diggs, but by the end of the season, Diggs could be stopped without making him the primary focus.  The focus shifted to Kincaid or to Cook, and either case, those guys weren't striking fear in anyone's heart. 

 

It makes sense that defenses weren't interfering with the Bills.

 

It's been obvious for a while now that for the Bills passing game to be a serious threat, it's going to be about route design, play calling and execution.  That's primarily Brady.   They have a roomful of receivers who are route runners and after the catch guys, with the possibility that either MVS or Claypool emerges as a real threat.  The route runners will run their routes; if the routes stress the defense, and if Allen makes good decisions, it'll be a good passing offense and then, maybe we'll see more PI and holding.

Appreciate the intelligent response Shaw as always.

This bugs me so much and then we have to hear how he's the best on the league. Well yeah he gets help. I'm not a "game is fixed guy" but I do believe that the NFL has narratives that they want played out.
