DQW87 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Calls like that go unnoticed by the general public, but change the outcome of games. They happen all the time, generally in the favor of who the NFL wants to win. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too close to call that, they also should have called delay of game on Watson on that 3rd and 18. Clock read zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford was going toward his own endzone. Its a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) The call 100% cost us a chance at a 52 TD fg to win the game. My entire family and I are beside ourselves. Ford hit him on the front shoulder. Edited January 5, 2020 by 34-78-83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatdane21 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I’m quite sure the league will not use that play to illustrate an illegal block! that is not the intent of the rule Ford barely hit him. you do not make that call in a championship game! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game winning play. If Hauschka makes the fieldgoal we win. It definitely changed the probability of Buffalo winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clock read zero I didn't see that, but the clock reaching zero doesn't mean it is delay of game. It's usually a second after. If you snap it when it reads zero it's never called. 1 minute ago, Greatdane21 said: I’m quite sure the league will not use that play to illustrate an illegal block! that is not the intent of the rule Ford barely hit him. you do not make that call in a championship game! Intent of the rule? The rule has nothing to do with intent, only actions. His action was illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole 2 he pregame was about JJ. NO holding on the 3rd & 18. Ridiculous There were some egregious holding penalties on Jerry Hughes, that weren’t called. But the Holy Watt family has bestowed their greatness upon the league yet again... Let no team tear apart what JJ and TJ have wrought!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
