There’s no doubt in my mind that the NFL will attempt to “steer” games when they’re close… to keep them close, and ratings up.The Vegas/NFL relationship is something I wonder about, but who knows? But, when it comes down to the brass tax (in this case, OT, which shouldn’t have happened) they will give the “Jordan effect” to the players that lift the ratings, revenue, etc. Tom Brady will ALWAYS get a few calls to help him over the hump, if they can help it. They’d prefer a NE/TB championship, so they’ll “steer” that or other considerations, assuming no one comes in and just annihilates either team without question. Rigged? No.. Manipulated to a degree whenever very close and possible? Sure…

Week 14 Gameday Bills at Buccaneers Second Half thread

Defensive holding on 3rd down around the 11… The entire broadcast team said it. We shouldn’t even be in OT. So tired of the officiating… -

I’ve been listening to this since he was drafted. Why they’ve never attempted to put him outside is beyond me. -
Week 14 Gameday Bills at Buccaneers First Half thread

Rushing offense and rush defense have GOT to be the focus this offseason… -
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. The refs will always call some BS and try to keep things close, at least. Getting further than that into Vegas lines, favorites, steering narratives, etc… who knows? But we have a QB good enough to overcome those penalties now. He’s already done that multiple times.

Buffalo is averaging 27 rushing attempts per game… with Allen averaging 7 attempts. So the RBs are at 20 attempts on average. Hell, Carlos Hyde had 21 attempts alone today… with no Robinson. Daboll, during most game scripts at least, REFUSES to even attempt to run the ball. Add to that, an OL that has become a liability in pass protection and a QB who holds the ball too long at times.. and it’s a recipe for disaster. I’m not saying you have to be “Greg Roman” obsessive with the running game, but ya know… give it a try every once in a quarter. I’d love to imagine the Bills with a “Jerome Bettis” type bruiser alternating with Moss and/or Singletary, adding an additional 7-10 attempts per game. The offense would be far more balanced with that approach. It’ll never happen with this OC.

11/7/21 Bills @ Jaguars Postgame Thread
Búfalo Blanco replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely horrendous… The officiating will ALWAYS be bad. I mean, it’s Buffalo. They never get calls… ever. Gotta overcome the phantom Vegas cooking and incompetence, and we have a QB who can finally do that. But he can’t save us if he’s getting killed during every snap. I cannot see this team winning a Super Bowl, unless they work some “Atlanta Braves” type miracle in the second half of the season. No way we get past an all-pro front seven in the playoffs with this crap…. But Hell, the coaching will eventually sabotage us anyway. Unbelievable… -

11/7/21 Gameday Bills @ Jaguars First Half Thread
Búfalo Blanco replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Once again, we’re battling the opponent plus the refs. The only difference now is we have a QB who can overcome typical officiating biases. -
I think us Bills fans have a complex, and rightly so, watching so many games of obvious bias against the Patriots and Brady. No one will ever convince me there wasn’t more to those matchups. My theory (JMO) is that sometimes the League is trying to create parity, more viewership, etc. by keeping the games close. Then, there’s also the Vegas spread theory. But more often, it’s just poor officiating. True, Buffalo was playing KC’s “holding” game against them this time as well. The Patriots have pulled that stuff for years and gotten away with it. The difference for Buffalo in these horribly officiated games now? We finally have a QB who can overcome the ridiculous penalties.

Wait a sec... maybe Brown and Doyle are... Guards?
Búfalo Blanco replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This was a thought I had (guards).. However, I’d think that they might be used early on (if they’re on the final roster) for short yardage, goal line situations, specific rushing plays, etc. These guys could be enough to push the line when needed. At least for the first season...
