plenzmd1 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 The Bills did not lose this game because of the refs or the coverage on ESPN. They lost because thay are a pathetic excuse for a mentally strong football team. My worst fear about this game was a close loss influenced somewhat by a controversial call late in the game. If I hear one friggen comment about how they played the world champs close at their house, only to have the refs suck the life out of them with the PI on Moulds, I'm gunna scream. I am one of these guys who thought going in that we were in good shape, so its hard for me to flip flop on TD now. However, when I will get pissed is if they refuse to say we were wrong, this squad ain't getting it done, so we are going to a youth movement. I don't care if it pisses the vets off, they are going to gone next year anyway. Screw em, they really couldn't give a rats behind about the Bills or the fans, so i say off with them. Play the stinking youngsters, and I may still go to the Denver game. If we keep playing with these sorry no account guys, I am in no way gunna be there. BTW, why does Sam need to be benched once a year?

BTW, why does Sam need to be benched once a year? 491861[/snapback] Agreed. The team folded when it mattered. The coaches, the quarterback and the defence failed when the game was on the line. Coaches - why go away from the run when it has been so successful? Especially in the fourth quarter with the lead? Why was the quarterback informed that Moulds would be 8 yards short of the required first down yardage. Quarterback - why throw it to a double covered decoy well short of the first down. Proved why he is a career backup. Defence - way to step up when the team needed you. Two plays to score the go ahead TD? They have consistently shown that when there is a bad call, or a missed kick they can not pick the team up. Horrible Definately the calls from the officials did not help, but the team's mental toughness comes through.

However, that doesn't make the announcing crew's Bruschi-worship any less nauseating, nor does it make the officiating any less bogus.
buckeyemike Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Wake up, TSW. NO ONE IS OUT TO SCREW YOU OR THE BILLS. Thank you. <rant off> Mike
Fezmid Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 NO ONE IS OUT TO SCREW YOU OR THE BILLS. We know that. They're out to help the Patriots. There's a big difference. Notice I didn't say, "Let the Patriots win," or anything like that. But all of the big calls in the 4th quarter went against the Bills, and even the one-sided announcing crew seemed dumbfounded on both the reception and the Moulds PI call. Of course they didn't catch the block in the back on #92, just like the refs missed it... CW
William The Conqueror Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Once the storm clouds dissapear, all's not bad. The Bills went into the home of the defending World Champions, and held the lead deep into the fourth quarter, physically dominated the Pats, and had a 2-to-1 margin in time of possession. It could be a harbinger of good things to come. I think offensive playcalling might be shaky, FWIW.
buckeyemike Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 We know that. They're out to help the Patriots. There's a big difference. CW 492130[/snapback] And you believe that crap? Then why did the Pats lose by 24 at home to a San Diego team that is down a notch from last year? Then why have the Pats been merely average all season? The problem is that the Bills are merely average right now...or slightly below average, I'm afraid. We'll see next week when New England plays the undefeated Colts how much they are "out to help the Patriots". Mike

I said that all calls seem to go in favor of the Patriots. How can you dispute the replay of the "catch" that setup the beginning of the Pats comeback? Or the "missed" block in the back on #92 (right in front of the official I might add). Or the PI call against Moulds? When (aside from the game against the Pats in '98) can you remember such a lame call at the end of a game? If the Bills had scored more points in the first three quarters, it wouldn't have mattered. However in a close game, the Pats always seem to get the calls whether intentional or not. CW

The drop-off in performance by the Pats this year, and the corresponding increase in performance by Notre Dame, makes one wonder if the genius behind Bill Belichek's coaching existed somewhere other than his own head...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 OJ's innocent. The criminal court said so.
buckeyemike Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 If the Bills had scored more points in the first three quarters, it wouldn't have mattered. 492144[/snapback] Exactly. This team can't seem to get it done when it counts. However, I thought it WAS a catch. And Moulds pushed off, which was pretty dumb, IMO. Mike

And Moulds pushed off, which was pretty dumb, IMO. Mike 492154[/snapback] I think you were the only one who thought it was a catch... Even dumb, dumber, and dumbest thought it was incomplete. The Pats must've thought the same thing, since they rushed up to the line to try getting another play off right away. I'm actually more upset about the missed clip (10 or 15 yard penalty, I can't remember) that was missed two or three plays later. When a player stands up and says, "What the hell, ref?!" (because he was clipped right in front of the ref), you know it's a blatant miss. CW
Kipers Hair Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Amen - bunch of freaking sissys on this site. They won, we lost...get over it.

CW 492157[/snapback] While I may not THINK it was a catch after watching the replay, i thought it was when the play occured. And after watching the replay, I also thought there was no way you could overturn it. While the Moulds call was rinky dink, it was Offensive Pass Interferance. Like I said, the refs didn't lose this game for us, it was the mental toughness, or lack thereof, that does this team in season after season

I just wish that for once we could play only the Patriots and lose 100% of our own accord instead of 95% of our own accord and 5% of the refs accord, you know? CW
Kipers Hair Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Says the guy still whining about Henry's fumbles. 492165[/snapback] well...to my knowledge...he still fumbles...no?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 well...to my knowledge...he still fumbles...no? 492178[/snapback] Once in the past two years. Maybe you should just "get over it"?
Ray Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Having awful calls against you on critical plays certainly doesn't help! That was an awful call. What happens if the Bills have 1st and 10 at the 25? The game may have turned out differently so you can't say it was not a factor! It was!
Kipers Hair Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Once in the past two years. Maybe you should just "get over it"? 492181[/snapback] Actually, maybe a name change would be in order...but I'd hate to lose all of the love I feel from the rose colored glasses wearing sheep blinding following TD on this board. You seem to be in a PMS'ing little b-tch of a mood today. Are you upset you stayed up past your bedtime to watch your beloved's get bent over a table? It's people like me that inact the changes needed....Not blind sheet that wear their colors proudly without demanding better. Now get your pom-poms out and start dissecting the Chiefs for week after next. perhaps you can figure out how to prevent them from rushing for 300 yards against this pathetic defense. Don't forget - cheer really loud and think "they'll win...they'll win...I know they will...". Sheep.
