Which means Knox's non-catch was really a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I thought the two big calls that stood - Williams and Diggs were both examples of this principle applied correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The McKenzie penalty is really the only one that burns me big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think we can all agree that the ref'ing across the league is still sketchy A.F., and this Bills game was Exhibit B (for Bad) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other things are controversial, but I can see them going either way. McKenzie was not moving parallel or towards his own end zone. But I guess on those plays you shouldn't hit the defender. I guess you need to just stick your arms out and try to just get in their way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 There was a clear and obvious tackle of Jerome Hughes to prevent a sack on the next to last play before the last Fish TD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 It's not just the catches/non-catches It's the "blindside blocks" etc etc. - the best I can say is it's very inequitably and unequally called Ditto holding penalties Either Call Or Don't Call But don't Call Sometimes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is on the naughty list. Refs refuse to call anything in support of him and actively look for reasons to call personal fouls on him. It's weird because he isn't a dirty player. But I guess he has said things to officials in the past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it should have been a catch. I could see an argument for that. I just can't believe they scrapped the Calvin Johnson rule and it slipped-by everyone.
