SouthernMan Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I may have missed it, but I haven't seen anyone here comment on the lack of passing down holding calls on the Miami O-linemen. The Bills D-linemen were being mugged all day long to prevent them from getting to Frerotte. They were being tackled and pushed down from behind constantly and the officals hardly took notice. Though not necessarily a hold, there was one play where Schobel was being double teamed and his facemask was practically being pushed over the top of his head. How could an official not see this? Illegal hands to he face anyone? It wouldn't have been so frustrating had it not been for the bogus holding call during the nullified long McGahee run when Josh Reed got flagged apparently when a hangnail got caught on the DBs sleeve for half a second. Reed's holding was a love tap compared to what had been going on in trenches. Maybe because the Bills won, the officiating isn't a big issue. If the 'fins were called for all the holding infractions, they might have broken some kind of all-time NFL record for penalaties in a single game.

dib Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I did see one holding call the Bills got away with. The tight end literally bear hugged one the Felons and got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 When they call 18 penalties on Miami, it's hard to get too picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 It was Walt "blind as a bat, dumb as a stump" Coleman and his crew. What did you expect?" Be thankful the Bills were able to overcome them and still win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
