Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 25 Posted October 25 In any case... Darnold should have thrown the ball WAY sooner. Holding the ball in the end zone like that is certainly a choice. From the broadcast view i thought the player got his shoulder pad, but replays were pretty obvious that he had his facemask grabbed. It's like complaining when they don't throw a flag for PI at the end of the game, throw the ball and don't leave it in the refs hands. 1 Quote

Another away game against a team that tends to play LOADS better at home. They have the lions the week after who are also a lot better at home than on the road. Every team is - but i think the offensive guru guys like mcvay and johnson tend to scheme up better without crowd noise. Quote

The majority are over age 50 with failing eyesight, as almost all people do once they reach their mid 40s and plenty of them are overweight enough that they can’t even move fast enough to be in position to make the correct call to start with. Absolute freaking joke. You just described most of us on this boards physical condition & appearance 😀 Quote

Unbelievable. Meanwhile AJE tackles Rodgers for a perfectly legal sack, and gets an unnecessary roughness. 1 minute ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: What a joke. So we can all see it from our TVs, but they can’t see it on the field so can’t call it. Did the supposed “eye in the sky” just happen to fall asleep by the end of the game? Quote

There is literally no way that #3 Official doesnt see that facemask. The dangerous jerking of Darnold's helmet makes it really obvious. The only way the head would jerk like that from facing forward to the side is because the facemask was pulled. Not possible otherwise. Saying that you didnt see it is basically admitting you are blind and should not be an official. Its also admitting you have no understanding of how a helmet works or physics 1 Quote

My issue with the" we didn't see it so can't call it" is how often that is not the standard. They all the time call ghost penalties. That is why that missed call is so unacceptable, his head and helmet went different ways. Quote

MikePJ76 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) For anyone who watched that embarrassing football game in LA last night well you should tune into the game in LA tonight, the one with real stars where one of the teams actually wins by scoring more runs and earning more outs than the other team.

There were 2 linemen in his direct point of view. 3 had the best view, and while his helmet moves, you can see his hand up around the shoulder pads and i guess what he thought he saw was shoulderpad. Since darnold was trying to spin out of the sack, it may have been interpreted as a "bob and weave" type tactic to avoid the sack. As i said before though, you can't hold the ball there. He WAS sacked, and the call only bails out the terrible playcall and execution. Shotgun 7 step drop in the end zone? You deserve to lose there. Edited October 25 by Bleeding Bills Blue 1 Quote

That's the Umpire; the other official in the offensive backfield. He generally watches the left side of the OL/DL and can help the Referee on calls concerning the QB. He could not see the play because the LT/DE were in his line of sight. He bears no responsibility for the foul up; it's all on the Referee (white hat) 1 Quote

You do realize that when the Rams won the SB, there were approximately 2000 people for the parade down Figueroa. It was embarrassing. Quote
