Steve O Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Doesn't sound like either player should have been ejected. The strike early in the season may have given the refs an inflated view of their value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I watched that live and have seen way worse not even get called for offsetting penalties TKO is still one if my fav players, remember how pumped we were when Bills signed him? Disgrace he never got to play in a playoff game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I was watching that game. He definitely should not have been ejected. But the game was getting very chippy at that point and I think the official was sending a message to all the players to settle down or your getting tossed. The game did settle down after that.

BuffaninATL Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I bumped into TKO at a golf shop here in ATL a couple years ago, talked football for a few minutes and specifically his time in B-lo, he spoke fondly of his time here and of the fans. I could tell he was genuinely fond of the passion of the fans and the "real" nature of Buffalo. I agree it is a damn shame he has never made it to a playoff game. 15 year career so far - wow.

I correct myself - I introduced myself; I did not bump into him. If I had done that I would have bounced off that rock. Biggest neck I've ever seen on a human being....

Rob's House Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Missing a bang-bang call is understandable, but something like this should be a black mark on his record & he should be made to defend his position before the league. He's a Ref, not a dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Tasker got ejected after getting in to it with Bryan Cox in the last game of the season against Miami in OP. Cox had laid some cheap shots and Tasker had a chance to get a good hit in on him and took it. Cox got enraged, Tasker was cheering as he left the field, the stadium erupted. Great Bills moment. As for Spikes that little zit, sorry, referee, should have stayed away, let the ones in pads get in between them. Secondly, no reason to kick him out for that compared to the rest of the stuff that goes on. Neither party was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Tasker got ejected after getting in to it with Bryan Cox in the last game of the season against Miami in OP. Cox had laid some cheap shots and Tasker had a chance to get a good hit in on him and took it. Cox got enraged, Tasker was cheering as he left the field, the stadium erupted. Great Bills moment. That wasn't what happened. It was a game against GB in Lambeau and it was on a punt play (alleged to have touched a Bills player and then returned for a GB TD). Tasker put his hand on a ref trying to get into the convo and got tossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the game was getting very chippy at that point and I think the official was sending a message to all the players to settle down or your getting tossed. The game did settle down after that. vg point i didnt watch the game but its quite possible the refs warned the teams that further conflicts would result in ejections id DOES look unwarrented on that clip, but that could all change with the context you provided. i wonder if we will ever find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
