OhDozeBills Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I haven't really heard much about this, but on Graham's pick 6 did anyone think that play would be called back for PI? Not sure who it was, but it looked like one of our DB's knocked down one of the Jags receivers in the middle of his route. I kept looking for a flag but it never came and wasn't mentioned on the broadcast. Just seeing if anyone else thought this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 You could argue the pass was uncatchable by any Jags receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. From my view, which wasn't the best I'll admit, I thought it was PI. It may have been incidental contact but I don't know, looked like we got away with one there. That's why I'm not so upset over the horrible PI called against Robey on the last drive.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I think it was uncatchable. Ball sailed like 10 yards over the DB to Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Unless it was ruled uncatchable it was PI. Contact was certainly made prior to the balls arrival. Who knows. The phantom PI could have been a make up call, a keep the game going for London call, or just a bad call... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 At first I thought it would be called, but the ball was 15 yards past the receiver. Gilmore impeded the guy's progress, but the ball was nowhere near the man. Once it's in the air, apparently you can bump a guy unless the pass is catchable.

Boatdrinks Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 They won't call PI if the ball doesn't appear catchable. They will give a ton of leeway to the WR making a play, so that pass was really horrible. It looked like a punt, good no call. The phantom PI was also a pass that was off the mark. Ribeye didn't make contact anyway so call was even worse. Err Robey. Damn autocorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhDozeBills Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Even if uncatchable I still thought it would be illegal contact or something, but I don't know what the rule is for this exactly. The way the game is being called I guess I just always look for a flag after a big play. Refs play way too much a factor in games anymore. Would love for the NFL to change PI calls to the 15 yard penalty like in College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Unfortunately, I think this on every positive play these days. So to answer your question, yes. Exactly. And, it's always something I don't see. This time I actually see what I think is PI, and it isn't called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonious Monk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Exactly. And, it's always something I don't see. This time I actually see what I think is PI, and it isn't called.

dave mcbride Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) At first I thought it would be called, but the ball was 15 yards past the receiver. Gilmore impeded the guy's progress, but the ball was nowhere near the man. Once it's in the air, apparently you can bump a guy unless the pass is catchable. The receiver was on the ground though, so it was hard to say whether he could have gotten there. It could have been called, and if it had been I probably wouldn't have complained too much. I thought the Bills may gotten away with one there. Edited October 26, 2015 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Looked like Gilmore grabbed him, but there was no way the WR makes that catch with the throw being so far beyond both of them: http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/HIGHLIGHT-Graham-takes-it-to-the-house/6a9d14c2-24b6-4aae-8b84-f97e15ecd151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about him not getting there - Gilmore basically held him up and tackled him. He was on the ground when the ball landed. I remain a little surprised that it wasn't called, but what the hey -- I'll take it! It's about time we got a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it looked like the receiver saw that the ball was overthrown and flopped, hoping to draw a flag. He immediately waved his hand for the flag -- but didn't protest too much. The replay also showed the Jags' coaching staff -- and there did not appear to be any outrage on their part in feeling that a penalty had been overlooked. If anything, the flag that WAS thrown against the Bills for excessive celebration was ridiculous. Fortunately, Gay did such a good job squibbing the kickoff that the penalty was not a factor.

I think the receiver saw the overthrow and stopped in his tracks to turn back and ended up running into Gilmore. That can't be PI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
