Swift Sylvan Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...terbrook/060912 "The Patriots were flagged for just one 5-yard infraction, although there were at least four plays on which a Patriots offensive lineman wrapped both arms around a Buffalo pass-rusher, and the Flying Elvii benefited from an extremely convenient inadvertent whistle that ended a play when a Buffalo runner had 50 yards of green grass between him and the end zone. Meanwhile, the Bills were hit with seven penalties, including a ticky-tack nudge-in-the-back call that wiped out a fourth-quarter first down in New England territory and changed a scoring opportunity into a punt."

I have learned that if you want the calls, you gotta start winning first with the other team getting them all the time. exceptions: Miami and Dallas - they get the calls regardless of their record

It was not always this bad; the officiating standard has apparently sunk to a new low or the camera work is better than ever at exposing the current low competance and/or impartiality level.
Kelly the Dog Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Well, he is from Buffalo, and has somehow perfected the seemingly impossible concurrence of having an inferiority complex and delusions of grandeur.
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I actually sent an email to PTI in regards to the horrible officiating. I didnt get a response or watch the show to see if they touched on it. Did anyone see PTI yesterday?
Peter Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 He is a very bright guy. Also, if I recall correctly, his brother is a federal judge. He must spend a lot of time preparing his weekly column.
