ChevyVanMiller Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Just a minor aside from yesterday's game: The Jets actually had three different players called for holding on the SAME play. I can't ever remember seeing that before, I wonder how often it's happened in the history of the league? Just a testimony to how dominant the Bills D has been - if you can't beat 'em, try and cheat 'em! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Not sure if I've ever seen this before, and I've been watching football for a long, long time!

nucci Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I don't understand why 2 of the penalties are automatically declined. You commit more than one penalty on a play all should be accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wonder if the Bills ever had 3 penalties on one play. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You commit more than one penalty on a play all should be accepted By rule can only enforce and mark yards off for one so the other two by rule must be declined. Refs let the team choose which penalty they wish to accept so they can decide which one helps them the most. Like decline off sides and accept the long PI. Weird part is by declining them it is like they never happened. They are wiped off the stat sheet. They should all count as a penalty even if they are not accepted.

Augie Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 That was an analytics efficiency maneuver. Why go backwards 10 yards on three consecutive plays, when you can just get it out of your system with an “everybody who has the itch just go ahead and hold on this one” play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Well maybe two of the players should have choose to block someone else? Meatball is great but 3:1 on him is not fair .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this has helped more than hurt the Bills in recent years. On a related note, my dog has a personal best of four poops on one walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 That Triple holding was an absolute riot. I was just thinking I would have seen it called on the Bills BEFORE I would have seen it against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA OC Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Maybe I'm just interpreting it wrong, but I found it odd the way Lofton said that the penalty "wiped out an 18 yard gain." While true, I kinda think that when three players hold it may have had something to do with why they ran for 18 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the rule, I just disagree....I've seen 2 penalties called on one team in hockey....if you commit more than 1 penalty...all should be taken.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as noted above that could be called for "piling on"! PS We can now say this place is going to the dogs!
