Big Turk Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm so tired of these phantom calls against us every game...in this case 3 of them this game... 1) Roughing the passer on Williams. View on the jumbotron clearly shows he went over the top of Smith and brushed his shoulder...nonsense call considering I've seen guys hit the QBs while sliding full force and get no calls 2) False start on 4th and 1...the entire stadium and Bills team knew it was a KC player that jumped offsides. However the ref calls it on us...wtf???? Are you serious?? 3) PI on Chandler...Might have completely whiffed, but at worst barely even contacts the LB yet gets flagged. Meanwhile Gronkowski shoves our player to the ground, turns around and makes the catch in the NE game and no call...just brutal... These calls led to 3 KC points and 2 punts for the Bills... Combine this with boneheaded fumbles by Brown running into the endzone and McKelvin on the punt return, along with Orton missing wide open receivers much of the game and its too much to overcome...we are not good enough to have to beat the other team and the refs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 There is no question that Henderson twitched two different times. It was slight. It didn't draw the Chiefs offsides. But he definitely moved a millimeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Call on Williams was a good call. Henderson moved. Chandler pushed off. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Call on Williams was a good call. Henderson moved. Chandler pushed off. Am I missing something here? Chandler barely touched him if at all...it didn't look like anyone on the Bills moved on the giant jumbotron replay and Williams didn't even touch Smith...maybe you need a bigger TV...the jumbotron replay is pretty clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niagara Dude Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Makes plays and refs do not matter, I would say the late hit out of bounds on Hogan was the worst no call of the day.The second defender has his whole body out of bounds and continues to attack Hogan.

But he definitely moved a millimeter. This. And Chander did extend his arm to create separation. Both were ticky tacky penalties that the refs sometimes call and sometimes don't. The only really bad calls I was pissed about was the late hit out of bounds that wasn't called and a hold that wasn't called right in front of a ref that was on a huge play. Can't remember exactly which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 There's nothing to complain about with regard to the officiating IMO. Blame the Bills for this loss because they gave the game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 All the listed calls were close, but fine. Don't fumble and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is when other teams are allowed to get away with murder against us and we get called for nonsense..if it goes both ways OK but its not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Chandler barely touched him if at all...it didn't look like anyone on the Bills moved on the giant jumbotron replay and Williams didn't even touch Smith...maybe you need a bigger TV...the jumbotron replay is pretty clear Maybe you can go over someone's house where they have a cable box with rewind. Henderson flinched twice before the snap. You can't whine that away. Chandler pushed off. The Saints just had a hail Mary TD to win the game taken away for the same play. It is what it is, move on..

dave mcbride Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Chandler barely touched him if at all...it didn't look like anyone on the Bills moved on the giant jumbotron replay and Williams didn't even touch Smith...maybe you need a bigger TV...the jumbotron replay is pretty clear He absolutely twitched noticeably. The announcers even usedthe telestrator to show the movement. The first time I saw it ,I thought it was a bad call, but not after seing further review. Didn't really matter because they were going to punt anyway. I'd bet money that Henderson was told to do that with thehoope of gwtting away with it. He twitched twice, actually. The call on Williams gets made against pretty much every player in the league on plays like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 How the hell in a game where the Bills couldn't get out of their own way, can you blame the officials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Henderson, not anyone, Henderson moved. Twice. Watch another replay and you'll see Williams made contact with the QB who was sliding. Period.

Fixxxer Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The unnecessary roughness against the QB will always be called. I had no problem with that one. If the umpire saw Henderson's twitch good for him, but I think he called it upon the KC player moving (2 good seconds later) The push on Chandler is what get me, if you didn't call Bowe the couple of times he pushed off McKelvin you sure as hell don't call it when a player from the other team does the same. No consistency on the same exact situation and that is why it was a BS penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call on Williams gets made against pretty much every player in the league on plays like that. The games become unwatchable if you look for equity. I stopped even worrying about it recently and it makes the games almost enjoyable. That said-- officials are part of the game and often impact games. Why should they be off limits? Sometimes it's situational. The opi on chandler sucks. If they call it each time, no problem. But, I think everyone agrees that they don't. Game to game, series to series, crew to crew it varies, and it sucks if you're on the wrong side of it, and truly sucks when it happens at critical times in the game.

NoSaint Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Sorry op - you may not love the calls still when you get home but if you watch the reply you will see none were ridiculous or outside the letter of the rules. Borderline or not called 100% of the time, sure - but not crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
