LA Grant Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If you make the decision to not go out of bounds so you can pick up what, a yard or 2 (he never had anywhere to go)?----you can't expect the refs to bail you out when the Defense swarms you. No one here should either. A ref just isn't going to give you a pass out of a dumb choice. This is the right take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 One thing I don't think anyone is talking about from this game. Apparently the refs don't call the play dead anymore on forward progress. Woods was fighting for yards for what seemed To be 4-5 seconds. At one point I was yelling at the tv for them to blow the whistle because of forward progress before he even fumbled.. if not for the Robert woods fumble i believe the game would've been very very close. Woods Fumble, Clay Interception Missed Tackle on the 51-yard TD 3-personal foul penalties on a single drive 4th down non-conversion Missed Field goal That is enough to turn the tide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 This. It was sort of a bonehead play by Woods. Just walk out of bounds when there is zero chance of significant further yardage. Agreed. This was on Woods not the refs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I didnt like the play but Woods absolutley should have ran out of bounds there.....both to stop the clock and to prevent them from stripping the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying the ref was watching the play, saying...this idiot didn't go out of bounds....well, I'm not going to blow the play dead then. Serves him right......? really?

Serves him right......? really? Sounds dumb, doesn't it? And I think that many here need to see the play again, and when it happened in the game, before talking about how he should have gone out of bounds. But that's the great thing about hindsight.

mabden Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think he was trying to get down but the Giants players were holding him up and working him over for the ball. Out of bounds would have been preferable, but I can't fault a guy for trying to make a play in the heat of the moment. Refs could have blown the whistle and elected not to. It seems arbitrary as the refs often blow plays dead in that circumstance. GO BILLS!!! If this was the Pats*, then the refs would have made the forward progress stopped ruling in a heart beat.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I remember a similar play many years ago in Baltimore vs. the Ravens where a Bills' TE was held up and stripped of the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it about five times on the DVR. He was being held on his feet but he was also pushing to keep moving. I hated the result, but it was the correct call, Doc!

I hated the result, but it was the correct call, Doc! I watched it and didn't see him pushing forward so much as being pushed forward and trying to go down to the ground after he realized he was being double-teamed. I can't fault the refs, but they certainly could have blown the whistle. I'd like to see the video of the fumble in the Cards game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
