BuffalOhio Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Watching the replay of the hail mary, one of the Titans clearly interfered with Josh Reed's ability to come back for the ball. How was that NOT pass interference? The only thing I can think is that since JP was out of the pocket, all bets are off. The announcers mentinoed something like that earlier in the game when Young scrambled. Any football refs out there?
Simon Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 It was definitely interference but no ref is going to call it in that situation (unless we were trying to defend the Pats in the last seconds).
bills44 Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 If the QB is out of the pocket, then there is no illegal contact. However, once the ball is in the air, and unless the ball has been tipped/deflected, it's pass interference regardless of whether the QB is in the pocket. But they never call PI on Hail Marys, right?
YOOOOOO Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 The ball was the in the air.....he def interfered and im sure a ref saw it.... but im guessing he decided Reed had no chance to catch it......
BuffalOhio Posted December 24, 2006 Author Posted December 24, 2006 Just as I suspected. I'm justified in being pissed off at the refs again! Bastards!

Maguire's Beer Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 It was definitely interference but no ref is going to call it in that situation (unless we were trying to defend the Pats in the last seconds). 877022[/snapback] Heh. Exactly what I said when someone brought up PI. Only the Pats get that call.
ieatcrayonz Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 I know there is a lot of contact on hail mary passes but Reed was tackled in the end zone.
Fezmid Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I know there is a lot of contact on hail mary passes but Reed was tackled in the end zone. 877054[/snapback] I just saw the play (Sunday Ticket highlights) and that was blatant pass interference. When I read the threads, I just assumed it was ticky-tack stuff, but as you said, he was practically tackled. Reed was trying to run back towards the ball, the defender just shoved him to the ground without looking for the ball. I wish I hadn't watched the highlights, because now I'm pretty pissed. That sucks. Merry freak'n Xmas, NFL. CW

Tortured Soul Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Heh. Exactly what I said when someone brought up PI. Only the Pats get that call. 877038[/snapback] But that was before the Pats were the Pats.
Catholic Guilt Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Ah memories. Henry Jones called for pass interference on the last play hail mary in New England. Merry Christmas.
Fezmid Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Ah memories. Henry Jones called for pass interference on the last play hail mary in New England. Merry Christmas. 878489[/snapback] Yeah, that was just a few plays after the "just give it to 'em" call as well. Regardless of that game, the Titans CLEARLY interfered on the last play. If that guy hadn't mugged Reed, he had a great chance to catch it.
sdevo Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Ah memories. Henry Jones called for pass interference on the last play hail mary in New England. Merry Christmas. 878489[/snapback] To this day I can't stand Pete Carroll. Remember he went for 2 after the Bills left the field
smokinandjokin Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 No doubt, the Titans' defender was all over Reed, making contact and not allowing him to fight his way back to the wind-blown pass. At the same time, there definitely should've been pass interference called on Reed at the end of the first half when he caught the bomb from Losman that allowed the Bills to get the free 3 points with 0:01 left. The Titans' defender went up to attempt to knock the pass down, and then went flying about 4 yards forward after Reed shoved him in the back. So, anything goes on the deep ball, I guess....
Lurker Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 So, anything goes on the deep ball, I guess.... 878495[/snapback] Too bad Steve Freeman wasn't working the game...
EZC-Boston Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 To this day I can't stand Pete Carroll. Remember he went for 2 after the Bills left the field 878493[/snapback] I was at that game. Standing there in disbelief and be berated by chowds, not fun. I was also at the game Sunday wondering why they didn't call PI. Maybe I should just stay home...
pBills Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 As far as I know, it does not matter if the QB is out of the pocket or not. A CB can not block the opportunity of a WR from coming back catch a ball. ie: Pass Interference. That was actually the first thing I noticed on replay. Worse thing about this is that JP and the Bills still will get no respect or acknowledgement for the progress they have made this year.
Dr. Fong Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I was yelling at the screen for a P.I. call even though I KNEW there wouldn't be one. They definately got hosed, but that's the way it goes. You can't leave it to getting a call in a crucial situation like that.
