BringBackFergy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It would be nice if these would get calls correct on the field of play. True. In all seriousness, Robey is a little fella and I think when he defends passes it looks like he is wrapping around a guy's waist or the bottom of his shirt...but he really does a nice job without any (or very minor contact). It's lazy officiating calling penalties on what "appears" to be rather than what "actually is" happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 From what I understand (and the replay was unclear), he grabbed his jersey. I think the announcers said at first it looked like a bad call and then said he did grab it. It was probably a legit call. London was not. The Maclin call withstanding, the Bills D was reeling at that time. Sloppy tackling, missed assignments. Things snowball when it goes bad like that.

Punching Bag Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The league apologized then and did again this week. Apologies are worth as much as phony Bills fans posts. Wow, they came all the way from London to throw that flag on Robey...again?! I'm with you guys now...it's all dirty and fixed. One of few times you are right - NFL said it was bad call. We wanted consistency. We had consistency - same referees making SAME bad call. Otherwise, Robey has only been flagged once this entire season. He has no plans of changing his style.Well maybe if we have same zebras again he should just learn where officials are on field and go thru them to get the ball (which is within the rules) since he is going to get flagged anyways. @thadbrown7 Nickell Robey says his coach was told by #NFL that 2nd Q PI penalty should not have been called. Both players 'jostling' #Bills yep. From what I understand (and the replay was unclear), he grabbed his jersey. I think the announcers said at first it looked like a bad call and then said he did grab it. It was probably a legit call. London was not. The Maclin call withstanding, the Bills D was reeling at that time. Sloppy tackling, missed assignments. Things snowball when it goes bad like that. But they’ve been robbed a handful of times, too. Particularly, Nickell Robey. Again, the NFL informed the team that the cornerback should not have been flagged for a defensive pass interference.In the second quarter of Buffalo’s 30-22 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Robey drew the penalty while covering wide receiver Jason Avant from the slot. One play later, Alex Smith hit Jeremy Maclin on a 41-yard touchdown to cut Buffalo’s lead to 16-14. “They explained that it was two guys jostling down the field,” Robey said. “I looked back for the ball and they said that it shouldn’t have been a flag because two guys were jostling down the field together. They see me grab him but they also see him push off me and that’s when they said they should’ve just let that play just play out because it could have went either way.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Refs missed a lot of these last game. Maclin pretty much pushed off all game. Of his 160 yards, 40 came on a dropped ball and another 50 came on push offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 NFL officiating is completely incompetent. Dean Blandino is working overtime on NFL Network trying to put lipstick on that pig. Don't we all feel better now with the apology letter from the NFL? We were up 16-7 going into the half when when those a$$holes #$%ed up this call. Bastids.

DanInUticaTampa Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Says a Bills fan. I strongly suspect you can find homer fans from the other .500 ish and worse teams that say the same thing about their team. You and others here see the games through red and blue colored glasses. This is pretty much true. But that doesn't negate the problem. There is a lot of really bad officiating going on in the NFL right now. Tons of mistakes in very big games. The NFL is trying to sweep it under the rug. But they really need to make some improvements. because it lowers the quality of the game if fans are walking away from a game thinking the refs blew a bunch of calls that cost a team a game. And for some reason, this year it has been a huge issue. Not just for the bills, but for a lot of teams. I think for starters, they need to utilize the people they have in NY reviewing stuff more. If a ref makes a REALLY bad call, someone with a TV screen should be able to say "hey, this is really bad, do this." And they should also expand on what coaches can challenge. Im not saying for them to go all crazy and slow the game down. But the people watching this in NY with all the technology should be able to correct some of these officiating errors in real time without slowing the game down too much, if at all.

For real, these so-called Bills fans defend the refs and crappy announcers on phantom calls rather than stand up for the team they supposedly support. Must be fun going through life with such a pessimistic attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave mcbride Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) The nfl wanted more offense when it decided to call bs defensive holding calls more often. What it got was a complete clusterf**k that has exposed their officials and led to longer, more boring games exacerbated by fan anger at the outrageous number of bad calls on the defense. Did anyone see that call on Patrick Chung in the end zone near the end of regulation against Denver?? It was unbelievably bad given that he was doing less pushing than the receiver.

Both players 'jostling' #Bills Yeah, this is what really burns my ass...same officiating crew calling the same BS penalty on the same player leading to 2 key touchdowns for the opposing team. Helped change the outcome of the entire game. But nothing is done to them...we get told "Oh they made a mistake, oh well." and give the refs a slap on the wrist. So tired of us getting shafted in key situations with BS penalties that cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, the refs get punished for NOT calling defensive holds too given the league's directive to boost the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, the refs get punished for NOT calling defensive holds too given the league's directive to boost the passing game. I blame the Seahawks. You will recall that a couple seasons ago they had a strategy to have their DBs hold receivers on every pass play with the idea being that there was no way the refs would call defensive holding on every pass play. And it worked. The league made it a point to warn teams that referees were being instructed to call more defensive holding penalties heading into 2014. GO BILLS!!!
