TC in St. Louis Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 @MikePereira Want my thoughts on Robey's critical DPI in the 4th qtr of #BUFvsJAX? Watch my @kfc Midday Fill Up: https://amp.twimg.com/v/217c6683-8506-4510-98e9-4bba27dcc237 Subdued interpretation. You can sort of sense that he doesn't want to come out and say it was horrible, he just says he wouldn't have called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I said in an earlier post that I think bills opponents have been watching film and talking to the refs before and during the game. The Easley offsides on kickoff is a play you really have to be looking for and expecting (especially how close it was). Woods has been called for holding the last few weeks while blocking. he's a pretty tenacious blocker. Robey has been known to be physical etc.. This is just a theory but we all know coaches talk to and work the refs before and during games. I think this is helping to increase our penalties. We are getting crazy calls against us. Let me be the first to say we have taken a crazy amount of personal foul penalties and I am sure the refs are no fan of Jerry Hughes. So, the reputation we have earned is justified. I just don't believe all the calls are. Our defensive line was held a ton today and it wasnt called hardly at all. The judgement call penalties are hugely lopsided against us. Pegula is paying the refs off, to get the top pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus44 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yes, the Bills could have (and should have) played better so this call was a non-issue...but the fact is that this was an absolutely horrendous call. The more this type of stuff happens (and what happened in the Seattle/Lions game), the less interest that I have in watching anymore. Once you start hearing tons of people say that the games are being rigged by the refs for online sport gambling profitability, the more you really start to wonder if they are correct. It's one thing to make an honest mistake because you thought you knew what you were seeing, but these types of horrendous calls (some even after further review & with multiple refs watching) are ruining the game, IMO. This seems to have gotten much worse in the past 2-3 years, no? Yes, there have been bad calls made as far back as I have been watching football...but none as blatantly bad as the calls that I have witnessed in games lately.

Smears Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Worst of all, the guy facing the play threw the flag, not the back ref. No way he's in a position to see the foul. this. ref couldnt have been sure. All he saw was a receiver fall down. Honestly neither team deserved a win.

ToGoGo Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 By the way, I think it's funny how Mike Pereira doesn't have access to a better angle on the PI. They only have the angle where it looks like Robey MIGHT have done something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robey Bogus PI Penalty (0:47) I really think that coaches should be allowed to challenge one penalty per game - perhaps just PI plays given that the officials screw them up the most. This was brutal, but it happens all of the time. Edited October 26, 2015 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Still can't get over this call. Robey Bogus PI Penalty (0:47) Probably the worst call of the year so far. And it cost us a game. Yet the clown who threw the flag will be back next week pretending to be competent. And the league will allow it. At least he won't be on Yahoo streaming.

Captain Caveman Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Eh, they were going for it on 4th at that point in the game either way. We need to bounce back from bad calls, and not also give up 21 points from turnovers in a single quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumbalaya Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I thought I saw the Bills pass rushers held quite a number of times and nothing was called either. Robey had good coverage, never touched the defender. Darby had another stellar game. Is it just me but I think he is better than Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The Pass Interference should've been 4th down. There was no false start the previous play. Jags LT was only Lineman that moved on Center snap. Refs got that wrong too. Hughes sack should've counted. At least that one was easier to understand how they got wrong.

KOKBILLS Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Refs screwed the Jags on EJ's phantom roughing the passer call on 3rd down. What league do you watch? That gets called 100% of the time... He made contact with the QBs head... It's automatic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I thought I saw the Bills pass rushers held quite a number of times and nothing was called either. Robey had good coverage, never touched the defender. Darby had another stellar game. Is it just me but I think he is better than Gilmore. Saw quite a few holds by Jax OL that went uncalled. PI was garbage. Regardless of what happened before it, the call likely decided the game as you just are going to defend a 4 th and 15 differently. Given Bortles game to that point, and the fact that his throw on the phantom PI call was awful, I like the Bills chances of a stop there. As for Darby, I think he is better than Gilmore already. He plays the ball better and seems to have excellent coverage skills. Gilmore will lose his guy from time to time and doesn't play the ball enough. He often doesn't turn around and gets flagged for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This has NOTHING to do with Cassel, EJ, Woods, Whiley, etc People are inserting other things in because they are going off topic and repeating things said in other threads or things they have said before. Shouldn't have come down to that. Turnovers and inconsistent D did us in. We are not a good team. Doesn't make a difference - that referee call was wrong. It was a horrible call, but by no means the reason why we lost today. We were horrible. Not we. If you were part of referees in real life maybe but you are NOT a member of the Bills. You got what you wanted, something to B word about. Exactly. Bills can blame themselves for this loss following a terrible first half. But refs still don't get a pass for failing to perform their job. That was a legit failure by that guy at a critical spot. I'm pretty sure it was the same guy that was calling it a turnover on the 3rd and 1 failed sneak at the end. That flag simply cannot be thrown. It's completely inexcusable to make that call with Robey in perfect position there and trying to make a play on the ball. Exactly. It is clear from the video that there was no interference by Robey and only thing POSSIBLE is referee guessed what happened when player slipped. That is wrong. The Bills should get an apology on this but instead Robey will be fined for speaking out against the call. Bills fans are all over the country - someone needs to "out" this zebra and make him look bad to those he works with, family, etc. That was absolutely the wrong call and I suspect the NFL will not even try to defend call for it is indefensible. Where is the Pro Football Focus which grades the Zebrea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think you're underestimating the Bills chance of getting a penalty on 4th down which would give the Jags an automatic first down. Fair enough... But still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I hope some of the players are looking in the mirror after this loss instead of making excuses like a lot of the fans are.

jeffismagic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think the Bills coaches need to raise holy hell with the NFL. Maybe get Pegula to do something behind the scenes. Other teams seem to get attention drawn so that penalties our thrown. On the TD, Hughes has Joeckel beat and was closing on the QB when Joeckel was holding him with both hand around the shoulders. Another blown call that was obvious. Get refs to start calling holding and our D line looks all world again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
