kota Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It wasn't a hold in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The call was a damn joke. Horrible flop call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, that's why I want to see it, seems pretty unanimous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffmonster Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I missed that play during the game, but I keep hearing it referenced... anyone have a link to a clip or anything? Curious as well I was at the game I saw the two flags come down, but didn't see the hold. Everything I've read states it was pretty lame call.

CSBill Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It was a bad call, marginal at best. The official was looking through a defender to make the call: that is a guess more than a certainty. He thought he saw something, the Titan defensive player did a great acting job, and the official bought it. This happens just about every play, it's a guess, and this time it cost us.

DrDawkinstein Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I understand why the official called it, as it looked like holding. However, it was mostly a great acting job by Finnegan. Right as Mac was making contact, Finnegan turns and flops. Looked like a hold, but was a good/cheap(?) play by Finnegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I listened on the radio, and the guys upstairs were quite dissapointed after looking at replays. Seems the Officiating has been on a mission to humble us this year at home. Our team plays clean and almost too nice while we get manhandled and abused. Hells bells we might as well rip some helmets off. If they are going to keep calling or NOT calling the right play lets give them something to throw the flag at. and while i am pissed about this trend, its time we started punishing players when we tackle. We always tackle nicely. Heck the Dolphins had at least 3 helmet to helmet or leading with helmet tackles for no call! Ok sorry, sore subject. stupid refs,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Definitely not a hold from where we sat either. That was a hell of an explosive play and would have changed the game in all likelihood. Cj had 3 runs of plus 25 if that had counted like it should have. Pretty darn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantankerous Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It looked like a weak hold, but still a hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It wasn't even as close as the hold on Kelsay on Johnson's long TD. But hey, the refs suck and will never improve, and the NFL is just fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got_Wood Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It wasn't even as close as the hold on Kelsay on Johnson's long TD. But hey, the refs suck and will never improve, and the NFL is just fine with that. Kelsay AND Scott got held. Watch Scott get wrapped up by the pulling lineman. When he tries to turn, he gets yanked sideways. I don't like complaining about officiating. But these guys need to be consistent. It better be a blatant hold to call back a 40+ yard TD run. And they screwed it up on the McIntyre call. The smallest things officials do can effect the outcome of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Ah, I can see how that can be called a hold, he had his arm wrapped around him when the defender turned. Mac didn't react in time. Bills shoot themselves in the foot once again. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainwampus Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I watched on TV. It was a typical dominating block by McIntyre (Corey should be in the Pro Bowl) and a beautiful run outside by CJ. Definitely not a hold but kinda looked like one. The main TV commentator said it was definitely a hold but the other guy said in disbelief "So you think that was CLEARLY a hold?" He obviously didn't agree.

Bills shoot themselves in the foot once again. *sigh* Exactly, if you don't want that kind of thing called on you then don't wrap your arm around the player. You can't expect the officials to be able to see everything so don't put yourself in the position to have that called on you by using proper technique. The official saw the player flop and Mac with his arm around the flopper, unfortunately for the Bills case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It looked like a weak hold, but still a hold. thats how i saw it as well...he had his arms around him which usually gets called ive seen worse and if this wasnt so out in the open it might not get called but since it was and right in front of the ref not surprised it got called was still a nice run by Spiller and hope he continues to run like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have seen holding MUCH worse then that not called.....that was seriously a bad call....but I also dont think CJ had control of that touchdown when the ball got swiped away from him.

PO'14 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If you watch the Kelsay hold, nevermind that, but look at how bad WIlliams played on that sequence. He runs into his own man thus leaving the OLine securing 2 Buffalo D! If he plays that like a pro, Johnson gets one yard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
