He's relying on a call from upstairs on whether to throw the flag.

Whoever told him to challenge it should never have that responsibility again.

 

He's not giving himself up; he's diving for the sticks.

 

 

Look your wrong. That's how they call it. Study the rulebook plz. 

 

The reason the call was upheld was because even when the shin touched the ball was still past the marker.

Really exhilarating win today.  Allen looked fantastic.  If not for the Coleman drop/INT, it likely wouldn't have been a nailbiter - but it's nice to see us win a nailbiter, and that was great experience for Bass to have.

 

Blowouts are fun too, but you need to win some games like this & it's valuable for the playoffs to have a few of these in the regular.

 

Yep, Fins had our D on its heels basically the entire game.

 

I thought the officiating screwed us on several plays and McD brain-farted on the challenge.  

 

I'll always savor beating the fish, but I think the Dline has some issues.  Not sure if Beane has some magic beans left to make another move before the deadline to get some more heft up front.

You may be correct that they changed that rule this year; I am not 100% sure they didn't.

That's precisely why it shouldn't have been challenged in the first place because he clearly had the first down anyway.

I think the rule was changed and it was one of the smaller things people noticed.  I remember this because I think it was Gannon who had a big spiel on it with Sirius. 

 

Gannon's argument was involving Tua specifically. He said that Tua will fall down as soon as contact is coming and then he will be down but who's to say he was sliding or not? Gannon said Tua struggles to slide and just falls down versus other QB's who baseball slide. He said this is a big reason that he gets hurt and it bothered him 

 

 

I really hope it was Gannon but it was a former player on Sirius NFL

So cool how quiet the crowd was in the stadium until it went through. Must’ve been awesome live.

He missed like 5 throws in the most important part of the game - two minute drill. I’ve seen a lot of Allen and he’s not great at being pin point accurate in 2 minute and finishing off teams in regulation. Glad we got the 15 penalty and bass hit a record kick. But usually this game goes to overtime. And ehhhh dunno how it ends

On the Poyner PF on Coleman the refs missed a clear pass interference as the DB was tugging Coleman's jersey as he jumped for the ball.  And in spite of Poyner's targeting hit and the PI the ball was perfectly placed and Coleman almost caught it.

 

And are you seriously criticizing Allen on that last drive of the 1st half where first Cook dropped a perfectly thrown pass that likely would have been a TD and then the refs threw a ticky tack flag robbing Allen of a brilliant 25 yard TD run?

Well no, but maybe he is. Coleman went up and Poyer was closing in. Probably just not as fast as he once was so if he thought that was going to be a clean but tough hit he was wrong. 

I get it. I was messing because everyone and their Coleman's slow jokes. You're right too. Poyer was wrong and wrong to justify it. He knows what he did. Meaningful

or not it happened but he wants to defend it.

I was at the game. Lowkey MVP’s were the native american indians doing ceremonial chanting on the field at halftime. Kinda bizarre halftime but They in fact lifted the curse of the burial grounds below Highmark Stadium. All good now, Bass can kick 61 yarders and the Bills can start to win Super Bowls.

That challenge was bizarre. What's the point of hiring John parry if he's gonna give McDermott the green light to challenge that 

So my question is, did they not charge the Bills with a TO?  I thought they were down to one after that, but late in the game they still had 2. I thought Josh used one.

If you're talking about the FG drive before halftime, he threw away like 4 balls on that possession.

I think they did get charged for it.- but interesting you bring that up as I saw some dolphin fans complaining of the same thing that that should have been their 2nd timeout 

 

I think that was the 1st half though when Josh used one, but could be wrong

I trust Parry. I am thinking he had a good angle of the ball short right when tua’s shin touched. That said, those officials out there weren’t the brightest crew; they weren’t going to be changing that call.

Greeny is a big Jets fan and he had to be rooting for the Finns but he thought the holding call that took away the Allen TD run bull feces:

McD didn't brain fart the challenge, John Parry, the former NFL ref thought it was worth a challenge and so he threw the flag.

Some people are just never happy. Bills put up 30 points and would have been 37 without Coleman dropping a perfect slant throw for a TD that turned into an INT.

Parry wasn’t a particularly heralded NFL referee during his time if I remember correctly. 
 

I think it wasn’t worth a challenge but we have the tv angles available. It’s harder to tell in real time.

You mean they let poor refs referee multiple Super Bowls?

 

The worst NFL ref still infinity times more knowledgeable than any poster on this forum and likely is considering things posters wouldn't even know to consider.

 

Essentially, most posters don't even know what they don't know about things that come into play.

Fair enough. Thanks for the insight.
