ThurmasThoman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You KNEW the real refs were coming back the week we played New England. The "cant breathe on Brady" rule will be back and in full effect! lmao. the reason we havent been able to "breathe on brady" is because our defense has been terrible. giants won two superbowls against the patsies by putting him on his ass. dont hate the refs, hate our former defensive front. we'll kill the pats this week, replacement refs, real refs, madden refs, no refs. the pats have-no offensive line, no defense, and aside from lee evans dropping the game winning td last year, and cundiff shanking that kick, havent beaten a team with a winning record since 2010. the. pats. suck. bills 34, pats 13.

NoSaint Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Very nice post. How about the detroit flip a coin mixup? F espn, nfl network for blaming these replacement refs. So I take it that you enjoy having a lot of PI (pass interference) calls favoring Brady all the time huh? Screw the old refs. I'll take some weird mistakes here and there over them favoring powerhouse teams all the time. Case in point. Seahawks vs Packers Seahawks penalized 14 times for 118 yards Packers 10 times for 127 yards Very fair if you ask me. The call at the end was not right. I get that. But I prefer one unfair call vs almost all the calls favoring the good teams. just because they got the same number of penalties assessed doesnt mean it was a fairly called game. worst argument yet.

Malazan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 that said, i dont remember anyone ignoring refs mistakes previously. You're living in fantasy land if you think the replacements did not get more scrutiny than regular refs get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You're living in fantasy land if you think the replacements did not get more scrutiny than regular refs get. Of course they did. They also made a heck of a lot more mistakes. Naturally that situation turns into an avalanche if criticism. Did you just not read the board on Mondays though? Regular refs got it pretty rough - hence y'all think anybody could do the job. The regulars will get it tough to going forward. Your crazy if you think they somehow won't face critique. They are better at the job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The regulars will get it tough to going forward. Your crazy if you think they somehow won't face critique. They will not be picked apart nearly to the degree that the replacements are. Regular Refs have blown calls that decided games and there isn't nearly the avalanche of criticism. My contention is that the regular refs should be held to much higher standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Whenever they're back I expect the greater scrutiny on officiating will highlight a bunch of blown calls on their part and have people asking "so this is what all the fuss was about ?"

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The 12th man needs to keep these "real" refs under the microscope. If anything shady happens, we need to chant BULLSH*T for 10 minutes just like last weeks Ravens game. That was one of the more impressive 12th man displays I have ever seen or heard.

thebug Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 According to Peter King of SI, Hochuli has been running regular testing and training sessions even during the lockout. http://sportsillustr.../referees-deal/ Well if these guys have been testing and training all along, I guess they could just hop on flights and get to work?

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 By reading the comments on the officiating, I have a much better idea of who actually understands what they're seeing when they watch a football game and who doesn't. As far as the regular officials calling Sunday's Cheatriots***- Bills game, in the two games last year, the Bills had a total of 14 penalties for 122 yards while the Cheatriots*** had 12 penalties for 170 yards. You're living in fantasy land if you think the replacements did not get more scrutiny than regular refs get. I hope the real refs get as much scrutiny as the replacement refs especially from the media. They will not be picked apart nearly to the degree that the replacements are. Regular Refs have blown calls that decided games and there isn't nearly the avalanche of criticism. My contention is that the regular refs should be held to much higher standards. If you understood how the media works, you'd know that they will be more than eager to highlight the shortcomings of the regular officials. That said, this episode of the worst officiating in NFL history is behind us now so there will be fewer epically blown calls to highlight. Whenever they're back I expect the greater scrutiny on officiating will highlight a bunch of blown calls on their part and have people asking "so this is what all the fuss was about ?" Yes. The scrutiny will be at least the same but the officiating will be much better. According to Peter King of SI, Hochuli has been running regular testing and training sessions even during the lockout. http://sportsillustr.../referees-deal/ He has time to organize testing and training between his workouts? That dude is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That noise you'll hear on Sunday at 1 pm is the avalanche of pro patriot favoritism that will be on full display. The Bills will need to beat two teams, the Pats and the refs.
