LABILLBACKER 4,149 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 3 hours ago, Solomon Grundy said: They didn't want the game to end on the call, period, end of story. It's ok to admit it refs That's exactly what happened. While that refs head was in the booth, New York was telling him to just let it go we're not gonna end the game this way. My head almost exploded when we did not get that reversal. It's a shame to see the NFL still have the power to choreograph games. That fumble was no different then the music city forward lateral. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope in one hand and ***** in the other and see which one gets full first. Wishful thinking considering the Jabroni's that we have for officials. I will probably be screaming that at the TV when they screw us again next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grow a pair and make the right call. As gambling legally picks up around the country, hopefully they can add some pressure to the NFL to fix this. Thanks for reminding me, I have a question about gambling I gotta post on Off The Wall or whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You do realize because they took a look because McD called a TO and was going crazy they had to give the TO back, right? You thinking they were going to look at it anyway and just waited til the last micro second - doesn't make it true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreggTX 867 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Can you imagine this message board if the Colts had gone on to win after that blown call? Yikes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Logic 9,754 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I know I'm late to this thread, but... That was one of the most horse doo-doo calls I have EVER seen in a football game. Just outrageously, ridiculously, OBVIOUSLY the wrong call. The Bills beat the Colts AND the refs today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You thinking they were going to look at it anyway and just waited til the last micro second - doesn't make it true. They always try to wait til the last second before the snap for an official review; that's the way they're trained to do it. You think they gave McDermott a TO because he was "going crazy"? 🤨 Yeah, that's the part that isn't true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RuffMuff 23 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This is why the Commish gets booed at the Draft and acts like he has no idea why. Looked pretty clear with the replay that he wasnt touched. I thought we were toast at that point. Hard to overcome a good opponent and the ref's with time running out. BUT we did!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kmart128 743 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Whats scary is the NFL Officiating twitter is doubling down on the call sayingvit was inconclusive when there is 100% evidence he wasnt down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Al riverton, head of review for the NFL is an incompetent dbag. They handed the job to him, taking it away from an official will decades of officiating experience. Totally over his head 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You think they gave McDermott a TO because he was "going crazy"? 🤨 Yeah, that's the part that isn't true. This is weirdly aggressive. It's certainly possible that the refs/league made a mistake there with not initiating a review and then tried to save face. A lot of people have said that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgrochester55 283 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Many people always said during the years of bad ref calls against Buffalo that the good teams can overcome bad officiating. We finally have a team that is good enough to do that. I am much happier about the win than I am mad at the call, but this does need to be looked at further by the league. A playoff team is tough enough to beat on their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
