ALLEN1QB Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) 100% agree Bills not getting the calls other teams are. Edited December 30, 2019 by ALLEN1QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That was brutal today with the calls. Hope it doesn’t continue in the playoffs. I want to see McDermott lose his ***** on the refs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It certainly should have been a block in the back... YE OLE won’t argue that, but the flag came out during the face mask from an official that was looking right at it. It clearly should have offset, and the refs huddled up forever and a day to discuss it. If they legitimately missed the blatant face mask, it shouldn’t have taken so damn long to discuss what in their minds was a routine block in the back infraction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00tabaga Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The Sweeney OPI was horrible. Just horrible. Facemasks are the easiest call to make and yet the refs miss them against us regularly. Frustrating! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they would’ve upheld it and everyone knows it. The dude clearly slipped on his own. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell he really wanted to. He was clenching the flag like he wanted to throw it. Someone in his ear must have given him a hard no. You could even read his lips "WHY NOT?!" ?

NFL refs miss multiple calls, every week. Some (several?) of them game changing. Ask the saints. This is nothing new; there’s no conspiracy. Just incompetence. Al Riveron has about used up all his good will. He’s no longer a useful idiot for ol’ Rog and the league so I suspect he’s fired after the season. Maybe someone else comes in that knows what they’re doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That one was so obvious, too. How could they not see it? His progress was completely halted and his head was forced back at an angle. That gets called 100% of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Búfalo Blanco Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Additionally, I can’t tell you how many helmet to helmet hits I’ve seen across the league that got no call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. It will not change unless people start tuning out. Bottom line. It’s disheartening I know, but until there is a critical mass of people demanding they get better, and not watching until they do, nothing will improve as far as officiating goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 I was referring to 3 games in a row with opposite calls or missed calls on Face Mask infractions. Against the Steelers, they called one on Edmunds that just didn't happen at all. Against New England they missed one on Josh that should have given us half the distance to the goal, and more time to tie the game. Yesterday they whiffed on one on our WR, while noticing an illegal block. They miss calls all the time, but I was curious about the trend to screw up face mask calls, each one to our disadvantage.

Golden*Wheels Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 So facemasks...are NOT reviewable? I was wondering that yesterday. We can't BUY a freakin facemask lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have lost that challenge because it was in fact OPI. The fact that's only occasionally called doesn't erase that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The Refs, as a whole, hate the Bills. Zero respect for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayboy54 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The Bills need to put stickum on their facemasks so defenders can't let go and officials can't miss the calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
