mjt328 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I usually consider Patriot games an automatic loss from the get-go. Even in games like today, I never really believed we had a true chance at winning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 After the sack that took us back to 2nd and 25. Like how much harder is it to make a pass 15 years further back? How does that help you see? Step up into the pocket you nancy! It's funny how we received two PI calls that helped the Pats dramatically, but every time a Bills WR gets a ball thrown towards him, a Pats player is draped on him and no PI. Honestly the amount of power Kraft has in the NFL, I would not be surprised to find out 15 years from now that he pressured the League Office in NY. Just way too many nonsensical calls by Refs over the years that are consistently in Pats favor but more importantly inconsistent with calls around the rest of the NFL. I think other Owners are tired of it, and I think that's why you hear rumblings of other Owner's complaining to Goodell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all realized we had to fight the refs too, and I think we really got demoralized. This for me without question. This has really been the year that questionable calls have finally started to turn in the Bills favor, so when a call that, IMHO, was a BLATANT touchdown, was overturned against us, I knew right then and there we weren't winning. Let's be honest, this year in particular has finally been the year that calls have finally started turning our way. This call in itself absolutely destroyed me. I had ZERO doubt that this TD would be overturned. The announcers even talked about keeping your poise/psyche under control after a call like that. I can assure you that had I been a player for the Buffalo Bills today my gameplay would have been severely affected by that call. No, that call in itself may not have won or loss the game for us, but I'm sick and tired seeing games directly affected by officiating. It is happening almost every week it seems, and something is going to have to give. Edited December 24, 2017 by smuvtalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW95 - JA17 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Jokingly: I never believed they would win.

I think other Owners are tired of it, and I think that's why you hear rumblings of other Owner's complaining to Goodell. I really think PI needs to be changed from a spot foul to a 10 yard penalty. The current rule gives the officials too much power to decide the outcome of the game on what is obviously a judgment call that is applied in a totally inconsistent manner. With some teams mysteriously being on the right side of the calls all the time, getting the calls and not getting called. It seems lIke part of the playbook of some teams to 'draw' these fouls by chucking the ball downfield instead of something that happens as a result of the play, gaming the rules. Brady certainly does this and to their credit it works. As for plays that decided the game 15 yard sack, Clay's drop, bogus replay, and missed FG from 50 were it for me.

SF Bills Fan Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The reversed 4th down stop. I knew then the refs were going to hand it to them. We would have gotten an emotional boost and, instead, the Pats got 3 and the wind seemed to go out of the sails. They were deflated after that. I'm not saying we would have won, but that and the overturned TD- it wouldn't have ended up like it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Definitively it was the 15 yard sack on Taylor. All other precursors were indications it would be an uphill battle, but once he went down on that sack, I knew it was the turning point before anything else happened.
