63 Passes and not a single hold or PI???

[Billsfan1972]

Boy that Miami defense must be good???

 

Just wondering whether they were that good or any talk after the game about that. 

[LEBills]

Good point, there were several holds by Miami that were more egregious than the one called on Benford.

The refs were too tired from the heat to pull their flags out?

[Billsfan1972]

And I am watching Brady get's his usual 1-2 PI calls and holding penalties.....

[boyst]

We had a lot of missed calls against us against the Titans for holding. It wouldn't have changed the game. 

 

Yesterday we had a few odd missed calls on holding again van rotten at one point wrapped and his arms around a defender and fell on him.

 

Our offensive line was playing on the edge of legality several times. 

[Rc2catch]

I thought they let both teams play for the most part. I did not like the one call on the hit on their running back Edmonds. I thought it was a clean hit to his shoulder. 
Both teams got away with a decent amount. I prefer less flags and mostly it looks like the refs have been calling less this year. I’d be interested in seeing the numbers league wide from last year to this year on how many calls are actually being made. Maybe I’m crazy and it’s the same, just feels like less calls across the league.

Not only was it clean, it was obvious Johnson was attempting to pull up but it's impossible to be running full speed at someone and then avoid contact with them as he is falling towards you unless you want to take a chance of potentially injuring yourself by making some weird move to try and get out of the way.  

 

 

[mikemac2001]

Josh Allen had two instances where his head was hit or grabbed. On top of that Wilkins coming in late and they called the roughing on the Milano tap.

 

refs didn’t cost us the game but I thought they were one sided. 

 

 

[Never NEVER Give-up]

Don't forget Wilkins' helmet hit to Knox's face mask after his catch.

[Airseven]

Dolphins did a great job keeping everything in front of them and forcing check downs. Both their secondary played well and obviously pass rush had a huge impact. Consequence of Allen’s million throws was mostly just wearing out the offense.

Clear as day on TV, Johnson slowed and turned his shoulder.  Literally nothing else he could have done.  BS call.

thats the problem with the back judge making that call. He had no angle of Johnson actually pulling up. It was actually a pretty critical call in the game. 

[Buffalo Boy]

   Just saw a vid of Melvin Ingram roundhouse kicking Josh in the quad area while engaged with O lineman.

    Yesterday’s game was infuriating on so many levels but the cheap shot crap against Josh was horrible. When it’s obvious and not called ……🤬

    Before anyone says “Payback for Tua”, don’t. That was as innocuous of a shove as could be. 
   To his credit, Josh seemed the most composed of anyone.

[H2o]

There were more penalties than just PI and Defensive Holding the refs turned a blind eye to yesterday. Illegal and late hits on Josh. Holding by their OL on at least 5 different occasions I saw. The hit on Knox could have been a flag, but eh. Three face mask penalties not called on their defense. It definitely looked like a screw job so they can continue to suck off Tua and the Phins.

Don't disagree with less calls, but hard to believe Miami was that good.  Saw a few times receivers wanted a flag that wasn't thrown.

[HamSandwhich]

There were many, very few called 

[GolfandBills]

There might have been one or two that could of been called but credit to Miami they played great defense 

 

i found it funny how the commentators kept saying Miamis defense has to be gassed… It was the total opposite.  Our offense was gassed from those long drives and Miami players seemed to be fine physically for the most part.

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Missed facemask on allen in the end zone.

Missed knee target on allen on same drive.  

Missed call on the helmet lead to knox. 

Missed kick call on Ingram.  I believe wilkins also went for a "peanut" punch and hit allen in the... groin.  No call and Allen gets one for retaliating.  

[Freddie's Dead]

This is one of the most glaring stats that indicated how slanted the refs were for Miami.

[Sestak4ever]

What about the officials not agreeing on where to spot the ball after Moss’s run, but did nothing to reset the play clock, forcing us to waste a timeout that we could have used at the end of the game? That was brutal!

[Livinginthepast]

The Officials were their usual mediocre to inept selves in this game. Nothing new. The Bills will always have to be comfortably up to win games and account for the bad calls they will inevitably get. Yesterday was the perfect storm of inept officiating and countless unforced errors.

[1ManRaid]

There were several instances of Miami players lining up clearly offside with no call.

 

Josh face masked on one play and straight up kicked in the nuts on another with no call other than unsportsmanlike conduct on Josh himself for getting mad at being kicked in the nuts.

 

Two uncalled defensive holds that I noticed.

 

I think the refs were suffering the heat and were just like screw it play on let's get this over with.

[LabattBlue]

Amazing how every time the Bills lose, out comes the whining about the officiating.   😂

Do you think the officiating was balanced on both sides?

 

You can admit there was more then officiating that cost them the game while still pointing out the officiating was horribly one-sided.  They are not exclusive.

 I asked simply how do you have 63 positives and not one defensive penalty.   I'll bet you it's some type of record.🤨

You can scrutinize every play of every NFL game, and point out numerous infractions, and no penalty is called. 
 

Sometimes you draw a lot of flags, and sometimes you don’t.

I don't mind that at all, so long as it's called the same for both teams.  The color of the jersey certainly impacted the calls yesterday.

 Again that is not what I said. I stated highly questionable that you could throw that many times and not a single penalty

Not reading everything just here to say the NFL is making defensive holding a point of emphasis this year.

Not, apparently, the Dolphins, as per the thread title.

[ChrisWatson#21]

I said this to the people that I watched the game with.  Game was officiated for Miami.  The NFL want this enthusiasm in south Florida.

I thought the Knox hit was a helmet to helmet

The officiating sucked even worse last week and people were whining about it until the Bills started to run away with the game. Also shows why you can’t put this loss on the refs cause he Bills never should have let the game be close in the first place. Thinking the refs suck isn’t the same thing as blaming for them loss.

Exactly.  People don't have to blame the officials to complain about them though.  Buffalo making mistakes and the refs being obviously bias can both be true.

Bias as in the NFL has it out for the Bills, the refs betting against them, or something else?  Help me out here?

 

Some Bills fans are insufferable after a loss.

Bias as in...see the thread title.  The refs had no problem calling it on Buffalo.  Are you going to say, with a straight face, that Miami did not commit holding or a PI.  Not once?

 

The refs were blatently biased.  Whether the NFL had a hand, or the refs had a personal bias, who knows?  But the idea that Miami did not commit a hold or PI on 60+ attempts is ludicrous.

[Billsfan1972]

As per the title thread, I didn't watch closely, just noting a stat I find hard to fathom.  Add to that only one offside and a 5 yard unnecessary roughness defensive penalties called against Miami in 80+ plays.
