KDIGGZ Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Go watch the Titans game from last year and get back to us.... I think you need to. You seem to have long term memory loss. We took the lead with like 4 minutes left in that game. Tyrod has never led a game winning 2 min drill. Hes not capable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Despite the horrid officiating, bad first half defense and everything else... 1st and goal on the 10, 1 minute remaining. 2 sacks, one incompletion. Right. And did you watch the game? What was Taylor supposed to do? Groy is awful. Mills was a turnstile. And there were some egregious calls that were ignored. It's just as stupid to blame the QB every time you lose a game as it is to heap praise on him anytime you win. It's a team game and Taylor did his part and thensome last night.

dave mcbride Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It's not at all clear that the hit occurred after taylor left the pocket. It was very early in the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) It's not at all clear that the hit occurred after taylor left the pocket. It was very early in the play.I saw a view that he was at the edge of the pocket. But it's a separate issue from the illegal contact rule and whether he was in the pocket. You can't do what he did, anytime. Refs have to call that or they are spitting in the face of the supposed "player safety" focus.

MDH Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 You forgot to add the loss of Wood, I'd give that 25%. I'd give it more than 25%. Without Wood going down those draws would have been way more successful and TT wouldn't have been under duress the moment he received the snap.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Let's not forget we were playing one of the best defensive teams over the last five years And put up 25, as many as anyone all season. Held the ball for 40 minutes and converted 70% third downs. The problem is this defense also allowed Russell Wilson one of his most perfect games this season- a problem they seem to keep running into against decent QBs.

Peter Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The rule excepts illegal contact when the QB is out of the pocket BUT NOT unnecessary roughness (especially on a WR on the other side of the field). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Notice how Woods is open for the game winning score. Not for long and it was an open then closed small window. The good QBs zip that ball in there with anticipation and then no one is talking about Powell. It demonstrates Tyrod's weaknesses to a "T" and why it is tough to win certain types of games with a QB like that. Regarding the foul: the funny thing is Sherman hit Powell before Tyrod was at the outer limit of his scramble, so he was not as far "out of the pocket" as some would suggest at the time of contact. Secondly, Sherman did not look in that direction to see if Tyrod had thrown the ball or clearly left the pocket. I think he just decided to step up and pancake Powell, and let the chips fall where they may. I think it was Thomas, but he totally knocked Woods off his path to the ball.. Who know's what happens there if he doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Walt Coleman has had it out for the Bills for years. His crew shouldn't be allowed to officiate Bills games anymore and he should be investigated for illegal gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenhigh Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Bottom line...The Bills had 4 shots from inside the 15 yard line to win the game, and couldn't close the deal. Seattle even helped them out by using their timeouts to conserve time, and even that didn't help. I would say 3 shots. Ther was no blocking avril on that 3rd down. Whether or not he was off sides is moot at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That play gets a flag 90% of the time. Bills got !@#$ed again....I'm numb to all the NFL bull **** already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The refs legitimately screwed up that game. The Bills should have been attempting an easy FG to tie the game at that point. The NFL admitted the call at the end of the first half was wrong. What's worse is that the refs had plenty of time to correct the call, but refused. So, how are the refs held accountable? Huge fine? Susupension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 A few HUGE things that are equal, if not more detrimental than the end of the half: That strange end zone INT by Tyrod The trip by Glenn The failure to score a TD in the final minute to win, with a golden opportunity. The Bills had their fate in their hands, and could not convert. They played a good game. Couldnt get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Extra 3 points on the board means FG ties the game and we go to OT worst case. It also changes play calling on other drives where maybe we would have settled for a FG. So yes they cost us the game. Shouldn't have mattered if Tyrod knew how to finish which he has literally never done Its not TTs fault he has no WRs and no OL. He is constantly pressured from the right side of the line which is why he drifts left on every pass play. He has to coach his WRs into windows mid play because they cant find opening on their own. TT is the least of our offenses problems. Who knows how many things would have changed throughout the 2nd half if the Bills had made the FG at the end of the 1st half. You can't just assume the score would have been exactly the same, and the Bills would have been in a position to kick the game winning FG at the end. No. The "hot takes" are by the posters whining about the officiating over the last 16 years of sucking, and using the refs as a scapegoat over and over and over again. Not the owner, not the GM, not the coaches, not the players...it's the friggin' officials that are keeping the Bills out of the playoffs. I give all those peole the credit they deserve but the Hawks have been given basically 3 wins this year by the officials. Thats 33% of the games played. Imagine if the bills had 3 wins gifted to them last year, 11-5 and playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It doesn't have to be so black and white. Everyone knows the Bills have sucked and can't close out games. However, on a game-by-game basis, it's perfectly fine to recognize when the refs legitimately screw up the outcome of a game. Where's the accountability?

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It was a couple joke but this does nothing. The Bills will get some BS apology and nothing will be changed I think we were better than the Seahawks and got screwed last night. We also did control our own destiny at the end.
