Anybody see replay of Dion's holding penalty
Livinginthepast replied to LABILLBACKER's topic in The Stadium Wall
It was called a catch on the field which normally results in the burden of proof being on the replay to overturn it. This might have happened if the Replay crew in NYC had figured that both of his feet didnt touch but the replays I saw might have made that difficult. In any case, even if the call was overturned, it would have taken the replay crew a couple of minutes to decide (giving the Offense some time to regroup) and without that dubious holding call it still would have been 2nd and 10. The ticky tack penalty blows that all up. -
The "non-interception" by Edmunds
Livinginthepast replied to Bermuda Triangle's topic in The Stadium Wall
This play should have been called an INT first by the officials and the Jets should have been the ones challenging to show simultaneous possession. Only in the NFL could you have the biggest money TV coverage with the most angles and still not have an angle. One question though, was this before or after the sky cam fell out of the sky? -
Orton did have some moments of quality throughout his stint here and at least made winning possible unlike EJ who was painful to watch. But his heart was never really in it being here. Still it was so close to the drought ending if not for that Raiders game.

THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Damn This Curse!
Livinginthepast replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Davis either needs to make the catch or slow down and let the Db run into him to make it obvious PI . Unfortunately he does neither. A savvy veteran player needs to do one or the other. Diggs was underthrown on that deep pass but Josh hits Davis almost perfectly on that last play right after getting his elbow wrenched. Considering how bad a game Josh had, that throw was remarkable. Both this play and the Dawkins "hold" are broken down nicely on the link below. The web site seems think it was a legit hold but I disagree Its looks like Dawkins pushes over the Jets player and lands on top of him. In addition that's the tv angle, I'm not sure how in real time the official who calls that penalty actually saw it at all or how he would think that looked like a hold. Personally, I think the official should have kept his flag in his pocket. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2022/11/7/23444027/bills-jets-penalty-recap-gabe-davis-sauce-gardner-dion-dawkins -
Damn that sucks for him! He did really well in Philly and he had a good start with Indy but it just became untenable this year. Always have a soft spot for Frank and what he did while he was here! I would definitely take him for an OC!

1. First INT was a rookie like mistake. Josh simply misses the defender and locks in on his receiver. bad throw and he knew it. 2. 2nd INt was a miscommunication. Whose fault ? not sure 3. If Davis comes back to the ball on that last pass he gets run over and gets the PI call. Davis needs to be smarter there and sell that interference. He also should have caught it regardless. He is a pro receiver at the highest level. That catch needs to be made. As the play went it could have been called PI but it would have been a soft call. The defender did not turn around and there was contact. 4. No idea if it was legit holding on Dawkins. CBS garbage coverage showed no replay on what was the biggest call of the game. If it was, I hope it was egregious and the holding was the only reason that the play was positive for the Bills (so therefore needed to be called). But in the NFL so many of these officials want to be the star with their ticky tack BS calls. Im still pissed at CBS though for no replay. As if they assume that the refs have it right every time. I wish these refs would just let them play unless its a blatant hold. 5. I also thought the 2nd half of GB would be a wake up call for the Bills. Dorsey needs to diversify the playbook in situations where things are not working and stop putting it all on Josh to win games with hero ball. Josh is capable of doing that even if he is having a bad game but why force it? run the damn ball and get some screens and short passes going.

Great point on WGR this morning. We have serious issues on run defense but they only come out if our offense sputters. If the Offense does what they need to do and gets TDs instead of FGs and terrible INTs then teams dont have the luxury of running and eating up clock. The GB game was bizarre because the Packers ran on us despite the fact they were down by 3 scores. Made no sense. Yesterday the Jets had the luxury after we gifted them the turnover/sacks and drops of taking the ball out of Wilson's hands and putting it on their running backs to win the game. So whats the point here? adjust on offense to help the defense. Obviously take advantage of every opportunity you are given but also run the ball effectively ourselves to give our defense time to rest. Yesterday they were absolutely gassed by the last drive.

WEEK #9 - AROUND THE NFL GAMEDAY THREAD - NON BILLS
Livinginthepast replied to ColoradoBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I hate both the Titans and KC but I will give Vrabel some credit for a excellent defensive game plan (including the 2011 Boston Bruins hit/cheat/play dirty on every defensive play strategy vs the KC receivers). I thought that was pretty effective and for good portions of the game disrupted Mahomes. The Titans D was also getting some great pressure on Mahomes all game. Basically the D did enough for the Titans to win. Where it all fell apart was on offense. As soon as they went away from the ground and pound and put it on Willis to get the job done it all fell apart. This was an extremely stupid strategy and the Titans drive in OT was the final disaster. What a waste of a great defensive effort! The Chiefs for their part still look really vulnerable and its only a matter of time for Mahomes to get injured on on one of those dipsy doodle runs he does. I used to appreciate the inventiveness of Mahomes on those scrambles, now I just find it annoying how useless defenders are in even laying a finger on him. -
Id still like to know how the idiots at CBS sports dont show a replay of the Dawkins holding call. Regardless of whether Diggs caught the ball, the call was a huge and the producer in the truck didnt call for a replay ?? Ive seen High school football broadcasts that are better than what we saw from CBS today. Suddenly I had a flashback to the In living Color Men on Film guys saying "when you watch you C ...... BS...".

The "non-interception" by Edmunds
Livinginthepast replied to Bermuda Triangle's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought it was an INT but I also thought challenging it was pointless as the evidence to overturn the call was not clear. Edmunds needed to fight for the ball better like a basketball player trying to get the loose ball. -
This exactly! Josh's INTs were absolutely killer for the momentum swings they gave the Jets. How bad would the Jets have felt if that initial botched KO would have resulted in an immediate TD. Instead that horrible Josh INT takes them off the hook. Same with that terrible fumble strip sack in the 3rd Q on Wilson. The Bills make a huge stop and turnover after a long exhausting drive and take a seat only for a horrible Josh pass to give them an INT and no rest. That was probably the play of the game and it was an unforced error. If the Bills had gone up early and scored consecutively the whole game is different. The Jets would have panicked and made errors.

Bills played like they had jet lag. Allen was awful today. Defense was so thin and injury riddled I didnt expect much, but they did enough to win this game. Dorsey called a pretty mediocre game and not adjusting to the constant pressure cost them the game. The only silver lining is that the entire group should be embarrassed by that effort and hopefully it will motivate them going forward.
