Not at the table Karlos Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 26 minutes ago, Tolstoy said: I thought it was an egregious call as well. Then I asked myself: what is the alternative? Remember that the Rams player had possession of the ball on the ground. So we have three options, maybe 4: (1) Incomplete pass. Impossible. The ball never hit the ground. (2) Kroft catch. Impossible. He didn't have possession at the end of the play. (3) Catch and fumble? Impossible. Kroft didn't have possession long enough, and didn't make a "football move," whatever that is. (4) Interception. As absurd as it is (since the Rams player didn't catch the darn ball), it seems more reasonable than the alternatives! Am I mistaken here? I do prefer to blast the refs, but in this case they may not have had another call they could have made. I stopped reading at “rams player had possession of the ball on the ground” if you’re gonna make a post about it at least watch the play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if it’s remotely justifiable "Oh it's ok to have a skate in the crease if it's not near the goalie, here have a Stanley Cup" This is the level you're operating at, NFL. Think about if that's what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point did he lose possession. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 There was a secret memo changing the rules and allowing the defender to have his foot in the crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancels the catch... still Bill's ball. LA player got the ball after both players were on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope! 13 minutes ago, Not at the table Karlos said: What did they say? Go to 19:00 and listen to Ryan Talbot talk about it. He mentions that NFL refs tweeted about it and justified it.

formerlyofCtown Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The reality of it is the league can't afford to have the Bills blow out the LA Rams with the Lakers doing well in the playoffs at the same time. The NFL is a business. They pretend to have morals and support things but in the end all they care about is their brand and $$$$ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a coincidence that penalties and bad calls come just in time to keep games close for teams that need success in large markets. However we got a call in our favor in the end so karma is a mofo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCBillsBeliever Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 THIS is the headline on E-Sucks-to-be-a-joke-and-a-Bob-Kraft-disciple-PN... They patently ignore the fake interception, and use BS calls to make it seem like the Bills stumbled into a win... The narrative SHOULD be that the National media stumbled into reporting, when it comes to the Bills. They flat out INVENT $#!t to keep their fat, stupid trolls happy about their HOT takes from the 2018 draft... Hope you, National FLEAdia, enjoy the FACT that the MF Buffalo Bills are 3-0, despite your BS narratives, invented calls, and $#!T excuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
