JerseyBills 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)Totally agree. 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? Either way I cant stand that this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Thats why any thrown flag should be challengable. THIS Edited October 31, 2017 by Forward Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 The Chargers should shut up and realize they have themselves to blame for losing. 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.

BuffaloWings Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Seriously, it gets old waiting to see if there is a flag before you feel it's safe to celebrate a big play. Half the crap they flag has nothing to do with the play. This. I've caught myself doing this a lot over the past couple of years. I wish I could enjoy it when the Bills score instead of waiting 10-15 seconds to see if there's a flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You have to beat the **** 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. 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...

Either way I cant stand that this happens. Brady first season. The tuck rule to beat Oakland made the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
