If they aren't feeling sorry for the Texans (at the time, the Houston offense had no pulse and that score would have made it 20-0), who knows how they rule it.
I honestly thought they didn't want that call to determine the game so they just "fixed" it. A TD there at that time would have been a backbreaker for the Texans.
Well now both the Titans (Oilers) and Houston have gotten some measure of revenge for the 92 comeback game. Enjoy your ten penalties next week in KC, Texans. I hope they're all ticky-tack drive killers!

I don't understamd why there should be a rule change. It's clearly spelled out, and putting your knee in the dirt is incredibly simple.
I agree that they shouldn't change/update the rule... but they will. By changing the rule, they will justify the way they handled the play in the game.

I can't say I've ever seen a fair catch on a kickoff (though I see it is allowed) and even so, I didn't notice their guy signal anything... he just fielded the ball and tossed it towards the ref. I was shouting live ball... he never took a knee or stepped out of bounds. He was a live runner from what I remember of the rules.
I think the rules committee will address two plays from this game in the offseason. They will define this giving oneself up to include what we saw yesterday and I think they should address the Cody Ford "blindside" block... Those guys could see each other.

Patriots fans are so spoiled and obnoxious
I will SO enjoy watching their fanbase take turns roasting their "failed" hero. If ever a team deserved to get stuck in the purgatory of a continual rebuild, it is the New England Patriots of today.
Their current fans would throw themselves off of the tallest buildings around if they had to pull for some of the teams we've had over the last twenty years.

I expected the Jacksonville loss a couple of years ago and didn't have my hopes too high on this one... home field in the playoffs and all that.
Then the Bills jumped out to that lead and if felt like the early nineties again. I am bummed out... it was there for the taking. I don't think it would bother me nearly as bad if the Texans had controlled the game from start to finish. At halftime, our guys had me believing they would be playing next weekend.
I feel better than last night but I'm still salty about it.

As hard as I find it to pull for the Eagles, I'll try.

Just checked out the video and I'm thrilled that so many top notch folks got out in last night's freezing cold to welcome the boys home. You can see that the team is dejected, just as we have been. After reading some of the Internet vitriol while making it back home (like the horrible comment made to Ford), it had to help to see that crowd at the airport.
I've been letting the loss get the better of me but it's starting to fade. I'm glad that there were so many fans that put their own heartbreak and frustration aside to support the team in this most visible way. If you were there, big thumbs up to you... you made the rest of us look good and I'm sure the players appreciated it.
Bills fans are typically good to our guys, win or lose. I still recall the crowd that met the team after Super Bowl XXV. Not what Scott Norwood and the crew was expecting.

I'll bet we see the rule get updated this offseason. They just didn't want it to determine the game, which looking back, it would have.
I feel like Walter... "Am I the only one who cares about the rules?!? Mark it zero!"
I wish they had felt that lax with the rules when calling Ford for the "blindside" block.

Outside of the constant ball washing Brady gets from the newtworks I'm hard pressed to remember a broadcast rooting harder for a player than ESPN did today for JJ Watt. It was disgusting.
I had to turn off the sound halfway through the 2nd half.
Refs knew Watt is the NFL'S golden boy on D.
Ugh... they really wanted good things for him. After he made that sack, they couldn't keep the camera off him.

Allen threw 46 times.
Singletary ran 13 times.
That's just crazy... AND the Bills led most of the game.

At the beginning of the 2nd half... I understand that the ultimate ruling was “in the spirit of the game”, but by the rules of the game, was that not a fumble-TD? That’s something that needs to be addressed by the NFL and officials - it was so awkward.
The announcers kept harping that "common sense prevailed" but what's the point of a damn rule if you're going to enforce it when you want to? The dude fielded it and never took a knee.

Let's not run Motor at all in OT.
At least he was on the field, but man, I wanted to see them use him out of the backfield. At least TRY to hide the fact that you're going to throw the ball on every down like you're trailing.

All hail JJ Watt........ a true American hero.
You aren't kidding. Glad ESPN wasn't disappointed with the ending of the JJ Watt show.

Let's break up this JJ Watt love-fest and take the damn lead.

Are you not entertained?!?
The boys came to play!
Still a lot of football left but I love what we're seeing so far.

Hot damn tamale! What a drive! NICE way to start the game.

Show time! Go Bills!

It's not an empty hand, the ball is jarred, but Barkley still controls it. So let's go to the official NFL decision tree:
If Marcia then incomplete
else fumble.
Hey FD, that algorithm needs a tweak. It would be incomplete for Aaron Rodgers as well.

What’s most annoying is having to listen to Pats fans think their offense is back.
It will be all the sweeter when they get knocked out of the playoffs and start talking about moving on from Brady. They're going to turn on their "goat" like a rabid dog. Can't wait!

I’m a Ravens fan from here on out unless we play them again.
I think very highly of Harbaugh... The only coach in the NFL that gives Belichick problems.

I'm still here. I do hate me some refs. They're just balancing out the tally sheet.

It just came clear to me... what better Super Bowl matchup for the NFL's 100th anniversary than Green Bay and Kansas City? Brady is out, Brees is out... I'm thinking Mahommes vs. Rodgers... I can see the NFL marketing folks salivating now.
I had the Saints to rep the NFC but there goes that.
