All_Pro_Bills Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes the clock ran out but on 3rd and 18 they should have made the stop. And again in OT they had Watson dead to rights and let him get away. The call I hated was the blindside block call on Ford with the Bills driving into FG range. That call was weak at best and calling it in playoff OT is terrible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the refs made a bad call before the Immaculate Reception, or the Tyree Catch, or the Butler pick. People like to pretend that these games are always in the team's hands. They're not. Every great team relies on the refs in crunch time to make the right call. Even the greatest dynasties would not be dynasties with those types of calls. Thought experiment: when was the last time we won a game where the other team got absolutely hosed by the referees? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Some here have pointed out the TV and on the field clock might not be the same? I don’t know But I feel I could accept the loss more if I knew for sure that wasn’t a delay of game. It’s like at least I know there wasn’t a screw job involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 12 minutes ago, row_33 said: The TV screen is not the official clock the TV screen is often wrong True, plus then ref watches the clock, then looks at the ball so there's a delay. You see that all the ime in every game, if it's within a second or go they let it go as they know it's not an exact science 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills benefitted from a blown delay of game call earlier in the game just as much as another hurt them later. The team didn’t play good enough to win. That’s why they lost.

MassHog Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 That "Blind Side Block" was the worst call I have ever seen. The dude was at 2 o'clock. if hes at 5, 6 or 7, I understand it, but he was in clear eyesight 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing. I pointed this out to my friends when saying "when's the last time Houston had a flag?" they had 4 penalties for 20 yards. 3 of which were false starts, not sure the other one.... Even when they reviewed possible PI on Johnson on Hopkins in first quarter... Hopkins hit Johnson in the face twice before breaking in - should have been illegal hands to the face which wasnt called even after review. Meanwhile we had the Ford "blindside block" in a clutch situation at FG range... and stopping Watson on third down got extended for a "hold on siran neal" that was never replayed... the flag was thrown late as watson hit the ground at line of scrimmage Edited January 5, 2020 by PolishPrince 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hmmm. Seems like another missed call to go with the two missed facemasks in this game. However, the Bills can only blame themselves for giving up a 3rd and 18. Should have been stopped well short of the line to gain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thing the NFL is rigged to keep games close. I dont think they necessarily rig because "ef the Bills." I think for ratings they call key penalties or let slide for the "nail biting fan experience." I think the refs screwed the bills a ton... But I also dont think Beasley picked up the first down with 21 seconds left... but it could be a more dramatic end if they DID get the first down Edited January 5, 2020 by PolishPrince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
