Corp000085 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 And Reed seems to be a very scrappy guy, like a wicked blocker perhaps. Wasn't it Reed that Gibril Wilson punched -which got Wilson ejected? that play was great. the entire o-line pushed forward about 5 yards. that's run blocking folks... And it made up for the crappy short yardage blocking plays earlier in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It was a late tackle. far less serious than a punch to the face, but the reality of the nfl these days seemed to dictate that whitner get the axe too. Really? It's pretty rare to see any player ejected for a judgment call. Like I said, the punch is automatic. The Bears got screwed outta their game for a similar play because the refs didn't see Trueblood throw the punch and instead flagged Tillman for a 15 yarder and automatic FD after the Bears had stopped 'em on third down. But they didn't eject him. Yes, the punch is far worse than a late tackle, but i'm really liking the fact that the refs were on our side today. Good teams tend to get calls. Hmmmm.

Fezmid Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 but i'm really liking the fact that the refs were on our side today. Were you watching the same game as I was....? Evans had the catch and they ruled it an INT? Evans got called for PI when he just slaped the hand check away? There was at least one blatantly missed holding call on Oakland. I wouldn't call the refs on our side in the least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans got called for PI when he just slaped the hand check away? There was at least one blatantly missed holding call on Oakland. I wouldn't call the refs on our side in the least... And an illegal block in the back early. I don't think those are indicative of favoritism on the part of the refs, though. I saw plenty of lousy calls go against the Raiders, too. The refs just sucked today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Bingo! He was taunted, and the WR was probably ready to do a little celebration dance. Whitner put an end to that s#it. Right on the money. It's part of the safety's job. Once the secondary allows the receivers to start intimidating them....game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_wag Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 i really didn't think it was that good a shot - if your going to take a 15 yarder, make it worth your while! i'd have gone up high my blood was boiling when he slowed down though, so i'm glad whitner at least gave it a swing.....call me crazy, but that kind of junk is karma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 At least they called Higgins for dancing excessively after Whitner drilled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It looked like to me at first he was going to force a fumble ala Tasker. Even it was just a late hit im glad he did it, dont put up with that sh-- especially from the raiders who did nothing on offense all day minus that one play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 you know, i think you guys are onto something. the raiders were out physicalling (such a non word but is used so much! there was an irregardless fight in the game thread!! lol) us and then all of a sudden it was the bills who were packing the punch. the raiders play close to the limit and that took us off guard for 3 quarters, BUT THEN THEY GOT INTO GET AWAY WAGONS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BILLS SEE THOSE WAGONS!!!!!

Technically it did, if you think the refs were going to call the taunting penalty before Whitner hit him, but I don't think they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StupidNation Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 If Whitner was fast enough to snag the bastard we would be happier. Whitner lacks real speed out there. He got burned and the fuggin guy was jogging. If he pulled a Beebe on him I would have more respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 That hit won the game for the bills for the simple fact that they showed that they weren't going to roll over and die. Great leadership for the guy that made the guarantee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
