EersN'Bills Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Chargers get called for a pick play that cost them a touchdown (which the Patriots always do but never get penalized for) even though it was two Patriots that ran into each other. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chargers-say-ref-wrongly-ruled-in-favor-of-patriots-on-bulls-call-late-in-game/ Edited October 30, 2017 by EersN'Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 And there was one ignored on the Gronk TD that was much more blatant. In other words the sky is blue and water is wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Another reason why NFL ratings are dropping. QFT. The games simply are not enjoyable to watch any more. This is the second time in three weeks that a controversial call has worked out in the Patriots favor. Back in Week 6, fans in New York were irate after a Jets touchdown was overturned in the second half of a game that New England would win 24-17.

billsbackto81 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 When will enough be enough. So tired of refs screwing over Patriots opponents with blind eye no calls, timely 3rd down penalties extending drives and God forbid you breathe on Marcia. Constant pick plays, offensive push offs, constant holding from their O line, DBs mugging well beyond the 5 yard Chuck. When will it stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Chargers get called for a pick play that cost them a touchdown (which the Patriots always do but never get penalized for) even though it was two Patriots that ran into each other. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chargers-say-ref-wrongly-ruled-in-favor-of-patriots-on-bulls-call-late-in-game/ That was the biggest bull ****, especially with the highly blatant Gronk pick that went unpenalized. It's so blatant even the announcers were laughing that when it's the Patriots they can do it. if the patriots get this kind of bull **** against us i will tanya harding brady myself.

Ohiostyle Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) It's why I'm tuning out. Week after week, I watch games actively manipulated by refs. Always in favor of the establishment teams. Couldn't care less about protests, or the game being less 'Merica or whatever. It's always watching some underdog get saddled with a first and 20 on some BS holding call after gaining a couple first downs. Now the drive gets killed. If that isn't enough, in the fourth, the fav get the PI that gives them position for points to win or put the game out of reach, and the Globetrotters get the win and the generals go home the loser like always. Week after week, year after year, same nonsense. It's not just the Bills I see this happening to, a 4:30 Chargers/Chiefs game gives the same bs.

VaMilBill Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The thing that pisses me off is it seems like on these OPI plays, the refs don't actually see the "penalty" but see the defensive player fall down so they call the OPI thinking the WR must have pushed off or ran into the DB. It happened on that Jordan Matthews play this past weekend (I can almost garauntee the ref never saw that play directly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a different note and different penalty type, the Bruce Irvin holding call , even when they announced the penalty it was "on the Left tackle" lol.. some of these crews are a flat out joke..

CDogg20 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I see this as a chicken or egg kind of thing...did the Pats* start winning because they get these kind of calls, or do they get these kind of calls because they win regularly?

Benjamin's ridiculously dumb safety and Rivers fumble for starters. Can't they blame themselves for mistakes that they made, and recognize crap officiating? Because it was crap officiating, do you disagree? I was super-stoked that the Bills overcame crap officiating last Sunday, but it was still crap and hard to watch.

Dr.Sack Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You have to beat the $hit out of the Patriots. I recall the Browns beating them by twenty plus in 2011. Thats what you do, run the score up so bad their cheating wont matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commish Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I could easily believe the Patriots would try to flip the refs, or that the NFL was biased in favor of "established" teams, but I don't see how it gets carried out in a game. If there was intentional bias on the part of the refs per some covert NFL policy - and just one person talked, which would be inevitable - it would blow the league up. Too much risk...

BillsFanNC Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This B.S. is why I'll never bemoan the Bills "lucky" and "unsustainable" turnover differential. You take what you can, when you can because you know this bs is lurking and it will bite us in the ass in the end. I'll never outright root for a player to get injured, but if a guy who has played an inherently violent game for almost two decades ends up breaking a femur....well I certainly won't shed a tear when the odds get even.

Thats what you do, run the score up so bad their cheating wont matter. This is exactly right. You need to beat the Pats so bad that the officiating doesn't come into play. Unfortunately the way the NFL is setup, usually 2 or 3 critical plays/calls by the officials usually decides the game. It is pretty obvious to anybody that has been paying attention the last 17 years starting with the tuck fumble in the afc championship game the Pats played against the Raiders nearly 20 years ago that the league has some kind of sick deranged deal with the Patriots that they will favor them in the form of one sided officiating in most games & certainly close games. The way the officials let Gronk push off every time is amazing. He pushes off every time & it is rarely called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
