BananaB Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) The game was rigged. JJ Watt slammed Allen to the ground putting all his weight on him after Allen released the ball. Should of been flagged also. The game was close to 75 minutes long and there wasn’t one in play penalty against the Texans. How often does that happen? Sure the Bills blew the lead but the officials were clearly one sided. The announcers drooled over Watt and Watson all game like they already knew the damn outcome. In my 30 years of watching football I never seen a sideline official walk on the field and force a ref to change his call. Never. Booger up in the press box talking about common sense, it’s common sense to kneel or wave for a fair catch while giving yourself up on a kick return. The NFL ain’t even acknowledging they ***** up because they got exactly what they wanted. Then you turn on the NFL network today and they are gushing about the Texans thrilling OT victory. Still ignoring the bogus penalty in OT, the play clock running out and how they stripped the Bills 7 points..... bull####. ***** rigged.

There were three terrible calls that benefited the Texans and cost the Bills dearly. No one can: there were ZERO calls against the Texans between the whistles in the ENTIRE game. With that being said, we can control what we can control. We should have scored more points and stopped them more. We can control those things.

The Texans and Watson being labeled as playoff choke artists was a real motivation in what happened in the second half/OT if you ask me. How can they promote Watson if he gets bounced multiple years in a row at home? And this time to the lowly Bills? They fixed that, but not without the help of our entire team falling on their face...coaches included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I didn't even notice at the time. Why would there ever be flag thrown on a hit to Josh Allen? It would be like seeing UFOs land or an intentional grounding call against Brady. 21 minutes ago, syhuang said: It's the same play where 3 blockers in front of Allen just let Cunningham go by.

The Saints and their fans are annoying as *****. They act as if they are the only team that gets screwed over by the refs. They should try watching other games, it happens every ***** week to every team. Stop crying. What missed calls were there against the Texans? And what unfair calls were made against them? Any at all that you can point out besides the unbelievably high number of in-play penalties called against Houston over the course of nearly five quarters? ?

There were also some extremely poor calls - according to pretty much everyone Bills fan or not - that went against them in a the closest of games that to a man could have changed the outcome. And it’s a bills message board 48 hours after a playoff game. Not entirely shocking we might discuss articles posted by national media outlets discussing the officiating in the game.

I was waiting for one of them to pancake Cunningham. At this point if that's the kind of blocking to expect on qb sweeps, dumbell might as well scrub them all....

Officiating is terrible across the board, and no one benefits from it. No one benefits? The Texans were called for 2 offside penalties for the entire game and overtime. They committed two delay of games on purpose, the critical one they didn't do on purpose wasn't called of course. Not a single holding call on either side of the ball, no interference, etc., and when their kick returner makes a HUGE boneheaded mistake that would have broken them, he is let of the hook and they pretend it didn't happen. No one benefits? GTFO of here with that bull####. Edited January 7, 2020 by Turk71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 All I know is a true blindside block is what Landry put on Aaron ending his career. What Cody did Saturday was a perfectly legal block. It didn't even result in the player hitting the ground or anything. Houston didn't deserve that win and they know it. Im going to enjoy watching the JJ lovefest and Watson show get annihilated by Mahomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go down 16-0 to the Chefs they will lose 42-10, and JJ can slink out of the playoffs once again. What a warrior though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It kinda caught me strange. I thought: "no way do they call it at such a critical juncture in the game"... Yet, they were doing it to the Bills all game. Like the 3rd18 clock at -1 second. The refs are that far out of sync with the public clock? Why even have the damn thing???

Officials don't want illegal contact that results in injury with no flag on their tape. It's a long term play..........you may have to sit out a play once in a while to get that 15 yards but it's worth it in real time and over the long haul. I'm thinking an even longer term play, which should span a long career. Pegulas should have raised hell after the Dallas game fiasco when Allen was splattered after he slid feet first. There was no excuse from the league, especially when the refs got caught on tape warning Boys to not do that again. The message is clear - your marquee QBs are pushing 100 yrs old, and you'd better take steps to protect the next generation, unless you want to see games with dozens of Duck Rogers at the helm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
