The fair catch, that wasn't.

Because he clearly gave himself up and that would have been the most horrendous call in the history of the sport, just my opinion though.

 

Yet if a Houston player picked that up and ran it back for a TD it probably would've counted and not been overturned. And people everywhere would think it was a legit TD and mocking us.

I get this and understand but little things matter.  He made a mental error and he got a pass.

I'm sorry, but no he didn't.  By rule, the only way to clearly give yourself up, is by calling fair catch, or knelling.  I guess he could have laid down and curled up in a ball as well.  

 

By rule, he fumbled.

If you need to rely on a BS call like that then you don't deserve to be there in the first place. Even at the time I thought I hope they overturn it because that's all that will be talked about after the game. Rather we won it fairly, sadly they didn't!

 

Houston just relied on a BS blindside block rule to win.

 

Why is blocking a guy while coming back to your endzone an automatic penalty? He blocked him like any normal legal block would look facing the other way.

Idk, in the past that definitely would have been a live ball. But when the ball is kicked into the end zone now, as soon as it touches the ground it's dead now. So I don't see how that's a live ball.

So how do you feel when someone is running for a break away TD and drops ball while celebrating before endzone? I mean his intent was obviously to score TD

Did you get the memo?  This is the part where we Bills fans B word about the officiating and discuss how it resulted in us losing.

 

Again.
