I like Dan Campbell but he’s going to cost his team some games I love the balls on Campbell. I’d take him 10 times out of 10 over McDermott 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Just now, Buffalo_Stampede said: But we’re all assuming stuff. 70 also goes to the ref. The ref you can see looks right at 70. Why did 3 lineman go to the ref? What did 70 say to the ref? It looked like he was going to just check on the lineman, perhaps even to make sure he reported. It got the refs eyes. Then the ref just made a human mistake and mixed the two up. Humans do make mistakes like that but you really hope they would sort that out. Not throw a flag after the play concludes. I mean the ref had to feel a little unsure in that moment. A little in doubt. If they just walk away at that moment the worst that uncertainty can bring is the natural result of the play. Really bad. Just brutal loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynamemike Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Just now, Billznut said: This whole play, misunderstanding from the ref and subsequent outcome is just another black eye for the NFL with their god awful officiating. It directly affected the outcome of the game and final seeding for the playoffs. Hopefully the NFL and their shoddy officiating receives all the ridicule and derision it so rightfully deserves in the next few days from the media. We shall see. Of course they won’t. Been this way for years now. At some point you gotta think the nfl wants that part time refs excuse in their back pocket at all times for when they want to dictate outcomes of games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance the Bills will be on the positive side of a controversial call in the playoffs. We got our one call to go for us in the KC game this year. I’m not expecting another big call to go for us until maybe 2026 at the earliest. Edited December 31, 2023 by Billznut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a game with a lot of volatility in play to play outcomes and if played long enough you will see things you might only see one time in thousands of plays and you will see them when it doesn't matter and when it does.

I’d take him 10 times out of 10 over McDermott Dan Campbell with Josh Allen as his QB would look like a genius for going for all these fourth down conversions. With Jared Goff as his QB, he doesn’t look that smart a lot of times. Tonight being one of them. 2 minutes ago, Aussie Joe said: One year they will rig it in favour of the Bills … they gotta keep things fresh Hope I’m still on earth to see it.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 While the ref definitely made a mistake, I have to blame the lions a bit here. They have 3 o-lineman going to one ref to report one lineman eligible. What could go wrong? How about just have the one eligible lineman report? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bizarre game changing penalty tonight certainly knocked the Toney Offside play down the list. At least that was a legit penalty that maybe is not called every time. We don’t know what the Detroit Olinemen said but it’s weird he would walk up to the ref and not report. He knew he was obligated to report. Just very strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opponents rehearse before shows to get it right. When did the Lions and Cowboys rehearse? At some point in the week, the Bills and Pats have rehearsed for what is going to happen in the game?

Last thing I would want to do is confuse these officials. They aren’t having a great season.
