IgotBILLStopay Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Torbert is the absolute worst. Here he is fist bumping after a Broncos TD vs. the Bills - never seen anything like this. https://nesn.com/2014/12/referees-inexplicably-fist-bump-after-broncos-score-touchdown-gif/?fb_comment_id=746990758687604_747002248686455 Those iffy flags from the 2014 season (see recap below) left me fuming for days. This was the season we finished 9-7 and this game and the raiders game could have easily gone the other way and we woulda finished 11-5. Even one of those wins might have won us the tiebreak at 10-6 over the Ravens. After that stupid 2004 final game loss to the backup steelers, I think 2014 was the season I was most upset about regarding missing the playoffs. https://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/153112/bills-predictable-loss-to-broncos-follows-familiar-script 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did a coach hurt a ref and why was said ref upset with the Bills sideline? And how did the Bills get an unsportsmanlike conduct call on that play, the Bills were on offense. There is a line that players and coaches cannot cross that allows the officials to run up and down the sideline without running into anyone. In this instance the players and/or coaches probably crossed the line and he ended up colliding with them because of it, hence the 15 yard penalty.

Nextmanup Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I do feel like a directive was sent out saying "take it easy on the offensive holding calls" in particular as a means toward opening up the offense of the game. It's amazing how much the game can be impacted by simply not making calls, or loosening up how often calls are made. Reminds me of the discussion in baseball for years saying the best way to speed up the game is for the home plate umpires to simply call more strikes. Have a slightly more generous strike zone. No need to change a single rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
