[Simstim]

That was not a fun half. Let's hope we do our usual and step it up in the second.

What did Dawkins grab?

How was Jones restricted?  He danced face to face with Torrence, but made no effort to disengage.

 

These are things we talk about in our referee meetings.  I don't understand how an NFL official does not apply the same standards at the highest level.

Expand  

The ref called based it on Robinson's fall. They assume it was something Dawkins did when in fact he did nothing. 

[Chugga]

Those two holds looked god awful by themselves.  Neither in my opinion was even close to a hold.  But the calls are made even worse when you take into account the dolphins went 97 yards.  You’re telling me no holding happened on that drive?  Absolutely insane

The Bills tend to improve in the second half. They need to.

Expand  

But will the refs?

[Big Turk]

Can we have Melanie Collins every week? OMG...best part of the first half so far

[Stads]

Shut up Trent! Did Miami get a TD taken off for BS holding calls? No, they get to hold all day and the refs turn into Mr. Magoo

As well as what the poster said above. If Miami wins, and now that Tua is back, they can become relevant. You won’t have one team running away with the division with the other three tanking. The NFL loves parody.

I know you mean parity, but that is a real Freudian slip.

[balln]

Classic loser McD. “Can’t beat ourselves” 

 

no. YOU NEED TO DO YOUR FREAKING JOB ON GAMEDAY. And work the refs

[Blank Stare]

Of all the people to get the pick too. That ****head Ramsey.

AT LEAST a 7 point swing if not for the zebras trying to “keep the parity” going..

Expand  

10 points, that 15 yarder against Rapp put them in FG range. 

[Jerry Jabber]

Holding penalties were bull 💩

[Riverboat Ritchie]

Those holding calls and keons drop.  Cook too

If the announcer says Josh's int again there will be muted.  11 times so far he has said it.

 

Wow talk about pushing an agenda.

 

Remember guy falls down it is holding.

Perfect technique by 64 it is holding.

 

So stop buffalo when they score a td

Expand  

It’s all the national narrative has ever been about Josh. They ain’t gonna stop now. They’ve just been patiently waiting for more INTs to occur. 

[Chandler#81]

We’ve said for weeks these stupid penalties are gonna come back to kill us one day.

We’ve said for weeks these inexcusable dropped easy passes are gonna come back to kill us one day.

 

 

Welcome to ONE DAY! 🤬

We can blame the refs for those horrible calls and they were horrendous, but if Keon and cook catch simple passes. Have to execute those plays against good teams

Expand  

There likely would've been late flags even if they caught those

Not fun but only down 4. I'm upset but not worried.

[White Linen]

This would never happen to the Chiefs
