r00tabaga Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Milano gets upended into QB .......and gets roughing. L Jackson call ws the worst! Refs are bad, water is still wet and the sun is bright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Couldn't the watch be used to text like a cell phone which is also illegal on the field 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'd be willing to bet Ben can't even find the calendar on the thing, let alone transmit top secret messages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refs are bad, water is still wet and the sun is bright. I feel like it's even worse this year... and I can't just say that they're picking on the Bills because it's been horrible across the board. I don't know how you call that against Milano. He was off his feet literally at the line of scrimmage. The intentional grounding they called against Brady last week was ludicrous too (I know it helped us but still). Saw a Packers player just brush Dak Prescott's helmet and get called for RTP. It's just getting worse every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never seen that done before. (The refs missed 1 or 2 other grounding calls on him later in the game) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Was it just me or was yesterday an especially bad day for NFL rules and officiating? I watched more football than usual yesterday, and every game I turned on just seemed to be a huge mess. I'd see a penalty, watch the replay and it was a phantom or missed call. Or......they go back to NYC to Riverboat Al and a call that looked totally obvious would stay. There was a call in the KC-INDY game on TY Hilton for setting a pick where he literally did nothing and when challenged by Reich it was upheld. I think Collinsworth was totally flabbergasted.

They missed one that should have been, and called one that absolutely should NOT have been called grounding. it hit the ground 3-4 yards in front of a receiver. That is not grounding. I'm not here to debate a penalty about another team's player, but it just shows the point I'm trying to make... that it's not just against the Bills, it's across the board.

Either way, it is a smart device so I'm assuming they are using that as the reasoning and not that it is an Apple product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he didn't even know he was wearing it cause it was on his injured arm and his wife dresses him now I don't know if the Apple watch can send messages but it can receive them so the worry would be that they use someone texting them messages from somewhere to relay info 41 minutes ago, The Wiz said: In theory yes if his phone is within bluetooth connection range (30-50ft) but that is very unlikely.

This is the NFL, I wouldn't be surprised if most of their anger came from it not being a sponsors item..... That was part of OBJs fine for wearing the watch on the field in week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 What about the call in the INDY/KC game where the receiver clearly stepped ob and then came back in to catch the ball. Yup, those guys miss a lot. and, Frank Reich could have challenged but, for whatever reason, didn't. The announcers were flabbergasted btw..........but didn't get pointy about the officials missing the call. (Must be politically correct for them to support the NFL officials) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
