Do The Reich Thing Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Could the Buffalo Bills or the city of Buffalo, aka its fans, sue the NFL over the kickoff TD that wasn’t a TD? As pointed out it was clearly against the rules in the rule book to overturn the call and they did so anyways. They rewarded for something that was meant to be done rather than what was done. Any lawyers on this site? A bitter and slow Sunday... obviously lol Edited January 5, 2020 by Do The Reich Thing 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words... Just because you think the WWF might be real doesn't mean it is. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an honest question and thought because the official rule book for the NFL was not enforced like it was supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 ah yes... when something doesn't go your way, sue, sue, sue. the broken American mindset. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 And what exactly would be the point? Games over. This ain’t the New Orleans kind of play that sealed the game and a trip to the super bowl. The refs were bad. And they definitely hosed us on some calls. In the end buffalo lost that game. They deserved the loss. They played like crap. They coached like crap. The NFL is not going to change. I’m not even sure they can fix the officiating at this point unless we review everything.

Any lawyers on this site? A bitter and slow Sunday... obviously lol I'm a lawyer. If the Saints and their fans couldn't win last year, the Bills and their fans wouldn't win. In theory, to win in court, you have to have a right of some kind that was violated. A constitutional right, a statutory right, a contract right, something. If we have anything as fans, it's a contract right. But what we have is a right to entertainment, not a right to an outcome. We got the entertainment. 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
