SydneyBillsFan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Over the moon with the result. HOWEVER; I would like to hear an explanation / some rational comments on the following decisions (or lack thereof) by the zebras that almost robbed us of a hard earned win: - The blatant PI on Dawson Knox before the first interception - The helmet to helmet on the stop by the fish on the one-yard line on the last play of the half Neither of which the NBC "experts" properly acknowledged BTW. 1 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) The PI no calls looked to me like, the refs are already in playoff mode. Where they let them play! Live, I didn’t see the helmet to helmet hit. I’m not sure it should have been called either in that situation.

Mikie's Bills Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Question on the clock stopping after Allen's 15 yard scramble at the end there, because of the penalty on Ramsay. If McDermott's declines the penalty does the clock keep running? That cost us 40 seconds. Feel like with a running clock after the play the non-penalized team should at least have the option of keeping the clock running after a penalty.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live, I didn’t see the helmet to helmet hit. I’m not sure it should have been called either in that situation. The problem with the no call of very blatant PI on Knox in the 1st half, is that they were calling a couple really ticky-tack DPI on us in the 2nd half. Consistency is the problem. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0017 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On the PI for whatever reason when a team is rolling like the Bills were on that first drive it feels like the refs let stuff like that go, maybe there afraid it’s going to turn too quickly into a snooze fest blowout on national tv. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On the first touchdown to Achane, they were holding Terron Johnson too. The PI was clear as day, and the helmet to helmet should have definitely been a foul💯‼️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I thought they did a great job of carefully reviewing that Kincaid catch. Wasted 5 Minutes, even though the down, distance, and clock would have been exactly the same regardless of whether it was a catch or not. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell ya, the NFL refs are the exact equivalent of our “Course Hazard” when our family plays ‘Extreme Croquet”. That’s our dog. She’s allowed to randomly, at her pleasure, pick up balls someone has expertly placed to go through the wicket on their next turn, run around with them, and drop them somewhere else. Players are allowed to wheedle and coax her, but can not complain, because she’s part of the game - she’s the “Course Hazard” and where she drops your ball, you must play it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On the first KO, Bass booted it out of the end zone. Ball on the 25. Then their LT iirc had a false start penalty. And when they ran the next play, the ball was snapped from the 25 yard line. Did I black out or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuscott16 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 There were a couple grabby plays by the Bills not called and a close block in the back on the punt return. 12 minutes ago, ajmac said: On the first touchdown to Achane, they were holding Terron Johnson too.

TFBillsfan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 One big miss that was in the Bills favor was missing Josh’s hand going out of bounds first with the clock under 3 minutes.

The blatant and egregious miss on Knox needs to be addressed. That should've been 1st & goal at the 2. I think RB's tend to get less helmet to helmet calls than wrs?

I'm just saying that a) it's not a defenseless player/receiver call and b) it's guys colliding at the goalline. There's no spearing or butting; it's just football in it's purest form and it's not what the rule is supposed to prevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
