When was it said? Does that matter? Getting fired for calling someone a B word?

 

Nah.

 

I mean, ***** that ref but are we that soft we are calling for people’s jobs that call someone a B word?

 

 

 

no, the refs in this game are TERRIBLE, and calling Hughes a "B word" indicates bias against the Bills.  Can't have that.

Nothing is going to happen to Hughes until next Sunday, when he gets two mystifyingly stupid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in critical situations (I'll guess "breath smells like fried onions" and "ending a sentence with a preposition"), and gets ejected, fined, and suspended for the rest of the season.

When they officiate a game like this? yes calling players names like that brings in to question their impartialness... Look at the no call hold on Hughes on the Stills TD, then look at the hold CALLED on Teller at end of game... or PI on Milano called, vs the mugging of Zay at end of game not called. Or Tannehill roughing on first drive, vs multiple hits to Allen's head in the pocket that arent called

I never said that the officiating didn’t suck.

 

It did.

I agree. Usually penalties even out but holy cow Josh got hammered in the head and roughed up a few times, no calls,  definitely some DPI, no calls. Really bizarre day by the refs.  They did not let anything slide against the Bills

They were just waiting to go out into back parking lot to get their envelopes full of cash for throwing the game. ALOT of $$$ on Bills to win, Vegas needed to control damage to books.

F-it.  I generally agree.  But this officiating was terrible.  Numerous ticky tacky calls on the Bills, while your QB is getting hit in the head REPEATEDLY, and you miss PI on Zay Jones on the final drive.   Hughes can say he was supporting player safety by being angry at the refs for not protecting Allen.  Really, would have loved to see one of our weak OL do what Hughes did.  

 

If they fine players for hits to the head, they need to fine the refs for missing them.  

That's not for him to do though that's at best the coach/GM/Owner that has that responsibility. The refs have a lot of pull to think the NFL is going to side with a player doing this. I get it but I don't think it's smart.

not sure this would work

 

 

I would agree regardless of it works  I would say hold every offensive play.  Do not let Josh Allen get touched.  Let's see how many flags they can throw in a game.

Miami’s winning TD drive seemed like the yardage “earned” was 80% from penalties and then a miracle catch between 4 hands.  This game was such an unfair outcome.  Oh well, weren’t making the playoffs anyway

I agree, and it's part of the problem and why NFL officiating is so awful.  MCD would not do anything about calling out the Refs, but he should.  That's your QB taking head shots, a point of emphasis, and this crew misses it NUMEROUS times!

So... lets do math..
(Calling 1 team's players names like B word)  +  (very lopsided calls in crucial moments).... = ???
 

 

Lets do the math.

 

No matter how egregious calling a player a B word is, calling for the persons job is soft.n

 

End of story.

Not when that person abuses the power of their job. That's grounds for termination.

not in this instance.  You have refs making lopsided calls against the Bills, then calling a player a B word.  Refs should at least be suspended or barred from future Bills games.  These refs are not impartial.

OK. Then fire the guy.

 

Yay.

 

That would be justified.

 

If your boss were giving perks to your co-workers and writing you up for unsubstantiated infractions, then called you a B word when you spoke up about it, what do you think should happen to him/her?

 How come we never hear from the owner?  Does he ever speak to the people in Buffalo?    I live in Houston I know the owner just died  a couple weeks ago but he used to talk on the news about his team the Houston Texans.  

Maybe you should follow the Cowboys and see how that works out...

Fully support Hughes regardless of repercussions.  Sometimes in life you have to stand up for yourself or a group and let someone have it verbally face to face.  Really let them have it.  Quite often it's effective and in this case he will likely have team ownership and management on his side this upcoming week.

 I hate the Cowboys but anyway, what’s that got to do with the Bills owners speaking up for the Buffalo Bills in the amount of penalties that have been called in the last few weeks

If anyone on the team deserves the right to freak out over officials it’s Jerry. 

I used to hate him for how many stupid personal foul penalties he’d get, but he’s smartened up. And not just as a bills fan but someone who watches a lot of teams, he is held more than anyone else I’ve ever seen and they almost never call it. And he generally just keeps on with his business. 

His speed means he almost has to be held to make it fair and the refs agree. Regardless of what the ref said to him something was clearly up with this game. The Bills can commit enough stupid penalties all on their own they don’t need help. But the calls missed from the dolphins was very shocking to me. I’m not a conspiracy refs cost us the game kinda person but they were extremely one sided on the calls today

I understand your sentiment, BUT refs are supposed to be impartial. IF they did do that with Jerry, it shows the lack of being impartial and a potential bias against a certain player/team. That is why he should be fired.

Heck yeah... if a friggin' ref calls a player a B****, he should be fired immediately.

It's not a question of being "soft".
