There is an article on this in The Athletic. I'd encourage everyone to read it. I did some further analysis based on that article. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6074720/2025/01/20/patrick-mahomes-refs-penalties-chiefs/ The answer is yes, for some officials. Lets look at the details. Sando analyzed Mahomes' W-L record by referee. You'd expect the average record should be about 75%, given he wins 75% of games. I've picked out just a few Ref W-L record Clay Martin 7-0 (note: Martin was the ref on Saturday. hmm....) Brad Rogers 5-0 Boger 4-0 Shawn Hochuli 10-2 Cheffers 10-3 Clete Bakeman 6-5 Brad Allen 4-4 If we do a chi square analysis of Martin vs Bakeman or Allen, the outcome (P = 0.017 is highly significant). Obviously the head referee mostly affects games by late hit calls. The DPI and Hold calls come more from a back judge. But the referee can affect those calls as well, by guiding "principles" of what to call, and guiding discussions about flags. So me, I'm hoping to see Bakeman or Allen next Sunday. Anyone but the unholy triumvirate of Martin/Rogers/Boger.

That, boys and girls, is why you don’t chase points in the 3rd quarter

I forget. Did Fitz play tackle or guard when he was Bills OL?

Josh hits the wrong hole and still scores!!!

V make up call one

This. Oliver was completing a normal play started in field of play. Romo is an idiot

Ahh, that was definitely a contact injury

Holding you Fi kin ref

Romos an idiot. He should stfu

That’s two misses refs. I expect two make ups

Nah, the field there is heated,remember?

Dude in Sirius radio just said Bills fall apart if they get behind early. As example use the Texans game and said Bills had “no chance” in that game after falling behind. Bills lost that game on a 59 yd walk off field goal. The talkers in these shows know less about the Bulls than does the average TBD poster

Just an fyi Look back on your initial post. I think you forgot the word “not”. that’s what caused the confusion.

This strategy doesn’t make sense to me. If you’re carrying injured players on the 53, wouldn’t you have fewer spot to use on a 4th QBs?

Odafa Oweh is on the Ravens. Regrettably.

Ahh, don’t want a huge argument, but per National Weather Service (www.weather.gov ), the mean January temp in Chicago was colder than Buffalo every year for the past 5 years (2020-2024). But only 0.2-3 degrees F colder.

Chicago is colder than Bflo

Damn straight I would. Bills 2nd team -3.5 against Pats was free money. Taking Cook to score a TD to tie a team record was a bit of a gamble, but paid off as well.

Wow. Never knew Harbaugh was such an #######.

Playing read option isn’t simply “holding the edge”. It’s all about assignment football and eye discipline. if the DE assignment is to take the RB, that is what he should do. If his assignment is to take the QB, that’s what he should do. the good thing about playing against a read option is that discipline gets better with experience. So I think there is reason to think that Bills will defend the Racens run game better this time. Also having Milano and TJ back will be important. I worry most about our safeties, none are great tacklers or have great catch up speed.

1. In general, I’d rather have a missed call than a bogus call. Such as flagging Jerry Hughes for pushing his own teammate. 2. Jokers step over was a penalty. I’d much rather see it called in a 4 score blowout than a close game. And I don’t think he would have been called if he didn’t draw attention be stepping dramatically.

Let’s be serious, that wasn’t a good route and great throw.. That was your cousin Charlie and uncle Billy playing catch in the backyard.

Ahh… Harmon certainly didn’t have clutch hands.

Dude grabbed his foot after the step over. It was a legit call

Ok, that was a penalty.
