The officiating in Miami

the knox non-call PI was as bad as it gets because the ref was literally 5 yards away, watching it happen. How do you miss that?

Not to mention it wasn’t even a close call. It was obvious.

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?

 

Clappy changed his mind and declined the penalty, the next snap was 2nd and 10. Broadcast neglected to update folks.

There were a couple grabby plays by the Bills not called and a close block in the back on the punt return.

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💯‼️

I need to watch the Achane TD again. I saw 2 potential holds on that one. One was worse than the other for sure.

Yep, they missed one that changed the scoreboard. It happens

 

 

He's a ballcarrier at that point and they are not calling a penalty on guy defending the goalline there.

Helmet to helmet is not decided by ball carrier rules - why do say it matters? If you helmet to helmet anyone it is a penalty.

Exactly 

Ty Johnson has a concussion because of the no call helmet to helmet hit 

Don't worry there will be a fine. Not as hefty as pointing at a player but he'll get fined.

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. Would have stopped the clock but MIA didn’t have any timeouts to challenge.

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.

 

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.
