Ghost of BiB Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Was this the first game in collective memory where he hasn't totally screwed the Bills somewhere along the line? Sure put it to the Dolfins, though. 18 penalties and could have been more. Is the league finally taking some pity? That would not have been the same game without them.
Fezmid Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Were they legit penalties? 471519[/snapback] Yes, they were. Half of them seemed to be offsides! He did miss some though (including the holding on one of the Dolphins' TDs), but they missed some on us as well (including a bear hug against one of the Dolphins defensive players). CW
Alaska Darin Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 (including a bear hug against one of the Dolphins defensive players). CW 471521[/snapback] Yeah, but that one didn't matter because it was on a touchdown play.
UConn James Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Is he the one that got smacked pretty good by Vincent, was it? That RTP penalty late in the game was BS.... Same with some in the past few weeks (there was one vs. Vick that was legit). May be reactionary b/c of JG's aggressiveness/attack strategy. Just to show him. They probably would've called them earlier and more frequently if the DL were able to get to GF.
rockpile Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Were they legit penalties? 471519[/snapback] There was an unsportsmanlike penalty for taunting after a Fish TD that was marginal (I saw worse on ESPN replays with no flag), but I figured that was to repay the NON-call when Holcomb scrambled, slid, and took a club to the facemask. I want to see that on tape to see if was a obvious as it looked to the fans. I would like to think some of the offsides were helped by a loud 12th man. My voice is gone today.
UConn James Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Yeah, but that one didn't matter because it was on a touchdown play. 471524[/snapback] That, and they made a cute couple. :D
Guffalo Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 but I figured that was to repay the NON-call when Holcomb scrambled, slid, and took a club to the facemask. I want to see that on tape to see if was a obvious as it looked to the fans. 471528[/snapback] He was banged pretty hard, head bounced off the turf too. Im surprised it wasn't called, he had already slid and the defender went right for the head shot.
Wiz Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Was this the first game in collective memory where he hasn't totally screwed the Bills somewhere along the line? Sure put it to the Dolfins, though. 18 penalties and could have been more. Is the league finally taking some pity? That would not have been the same game without them. 471517[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing yesterday. It seems as though every big play in the past was destined to be called back. The only big penalty I can remember was on WM's run. Our receivers DO need to quit grabbing cloth down field. Once McGahee breaks the line of scrimmage, he is going to win one-on-one with a f'ing DB!!!
sweet baboo Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Is he the one that got smacked pretty good by Vincent, was it? 471527[/snapback] nope...vincent ran into the head linesman this sympathy doesn't help...unless they're going to do it for us patriot style and hand us the lombardi trophy also
Ghost of BiB Posted October 10, 2005 Author Posted October 10, 2005 Every time I see him the words "just give it to them" flash through my mind. It may have been discussed elsewhere, but wow - how many first and fives and outright first downs did the Bills get, and how many crappy situations did the fins find themselves in over penalties?

Their reputation preceded them. Refs read the newspapers too.
UConn James Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Once McGahee breaks the line of scrimmage, he is going to win one-on-one with a f'ing DB!!! 471533[/snapback] I dunno. For all of his big break-away highlight reel runs at the U, Willis hasn't broken any like that here. Kind of disappointing, b/c behind this line, he hasn't shown to be much more than a guy who has a lot of 1-4 yard runs. There was one against the Falcons where EM had a nice block, but Willis got tackled by his biggest nemesis --- the Turf Monster.

Mark VI Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Miami hasn't had a game without double digit penalties this season. Their reputation preceded them. Refs read the newspapers too. 471540[/snapback] But they have the Deity task master Nick Saban as Coach. How is that possible ?
Fezmid Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 I believe it was 6 first downs given to the Bills on penalties, if the counters in the chat room were accurate. 471545[/snapback] I remember the first two first downs the Dolphins got were results of penelties on us as well. We had six first downs by penalty, they had two first downs by penalty. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/teamstats/NFL_20051009_MIA@BUF We fumbled the ball 5 times (and lost 1)??? Wow... CW
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 He was banged pretty hard, head bounced off the turf too. Im surprised it wasn't called, he had already slid and the defender went right for the head shot. I saw the first 3 drives of the game and 1/2 of the Dols' 2nd drive, and saw the refs throw a ridiculous PF when a Bills defender literally put his hand on the helmet of Gus, without making any impact whatsoever (i.e. Gus' head didn't snap back). And the play was behind the zebra.

Campy Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Is he the one that got smacked pretty good by Vincent, was it? 471527[/snapback] The guy Vincent hammered was the Head Linesman, Ron Phares. Coleman would have been in the middle of the field behind the QB on that play.
