Week 14 Gameday Bills at Buccaneers Postgame thread
MPT replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hmm I wonder.... -

It failed for a few reasons. The first is that the requirements to overturn the call were so high that bad calls were constantly upheld and everyone got twice as angry. The second is that the people reviewing the calls were just as likely to follow the NFL bias line. Lastly, it just made the game take way too long. -

In this day and age, referees almost never miss the chance to call PI for a jersey grab (that goes double when the receiver and defender are 1on1 in open space), and they just happened to miss it twice? Please. -

Again, you're accidently identifying the problem. -

Considering "the calls" we're talking about resulted in a 14 point loss for us and a 7 point gain for the Bucs (a net of 21 points) I think it's a given that we would have won otherwise. -

The Bills benefited from a soft PI call against the Rams last season. Also, that's the same game where Kroft made a catch and the refs just inexplicably called it an interception for the Rams. So yeah, we got hosed in that game too. Good memory. -

Yes. Thank you. -

Probably would have had more yards if Diggs weren't interfered with on a 60 yard touchdown pass. "Absolutely, we would have won if not for those calls, but you can't blame the calls for us not winning." Brilliant. -

So we need to win handily whereas the Bucs only need to win marginally? -

And yet that's exactly how the Bucs won the game. -

And you don't see that as a problem? Anyway, I'd point out that it is inconsistent only in that it is consistently bad for some teams and consistently good for others. -

So you're simultaneously arguing that the officiating wasn't a problem but also that the Bucs and Chiefs use them to their advantage. And now you're simultaneously arguing that the officiating didn't affect the outcome but also that we need to score extra points to beat them. Are you on drugs? -

It was far from a perfect game by the Bills, but no team ever has a perfect game. You shouldn't have to worry about beating both the other team and the refs. Even with all those mistakes, we. still would have won fairly easily on equal playing ground. -

Yeah he was being hauled down by Evans and still managed to get his head around and put out an arm to make a play. Really great effort by Wallace. -

That unofficial requirement is applied to some teams and not to others. As we just witnessed. -

As soon as Evans saw the pass was going to be short he pulled down Wallace with one arm and reached with the other. You and the refs fell for it unfortunately. -

If Evans hasn't tackled him, he would have been able to make a play for the interception. Seems like some people want defensive backs to just run backwards the whole play. -

Actually, they were good enough. Two touchdown passes to Diggs where he was interfered with and no calls. Then a drive extending DPI in overtime where Evans tackles Wallace. The Bills sucked in the first half but they still played well enough to win and were screwed. -

If you were still skeptical about these games being fixed, well here's your sign. -

Not sure what you mean by that. If Diggs wasn't pulled backwards then he catches that and goes in for an easy touchdown. -

Well a long touchdown would have been really helpful towards getting us back in it, right? Because that's what would have happened there without the DPI. -

Do you want him to do that every play? Because that's how often he's under pressure. -

No, a bare minimum play there is Gronk scores a touchdown. The next worse thing is Poyer gets flagged for DPI. He's a safety covering one of the best TE's of all time. It's a bad matchup and he played it as well as anyone could ask.
