Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 But if the refs had called the interference on first drive, Bills would have 1st and goal on 1. Much better odds they'd have scored there. So it evens out. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoTier Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Yawn. The refs missed a call. The league officials also missed it. Manure happens. Unless/until the NFL adopts the some kind of line monitoring system like pro tennis has, there are always going to be missed out of bounds calls.

JohnnyBuffalo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) 100% missed call. Add another log on the refs are horrible fire! But to say that play definitively impacted the ultimate outcome is a very long stretch. Also who in their right mind thinks the NFL wants anything but large market teams to advance? Hhaha Edited January 12 by JohnnyBuffalo Correct an autocorrect mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It's possible they rig it for us sometimes. We definitely see them rig it against us (ex. 1st half Eagles game). Allen is being marketed everywhere. About damn time if you ask me. If this league is rigged and scripted, we might as well get some spotlight time. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the missed helmet to helmet at the end of the half, or if they spotted the ball better or even didn't blow the whistle so damn fast on the 4th and 1, I mean how you think those refs rigged the game in the Bills favor is beyond me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Once Burrow went down, I was pretty confident the league would fix things a little bit to make sure Josh got into the postseason. Star QB’s in the NFL have always gotten preferential treatment, and the NFL wants their stars in the postseason. The NFL would be very sad if they had Mason Rudolph vs Gardner Minshew in the first round. Not saying any game individually was fixed, but you’re crazy if you don’t think we got the benefit of some 50-50 calls along the way. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 building momentum for public support for a new stadium? They are going to start the steel soon. Concrete is in. Deal is done. The idea that the NFL is rigged for the Bills is hilarious. Dolphins fans should be mad that their "close your eyes and throw to a spot in 1 second" offense doesn't work as well against good teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If only there was some kind of review mechanism in place for plays like that...oh right, there is. It's just that McDaniel blew all of his timeouts earlier that drive. I will save my bellyaching for the very obvious non-calls in the Dolphins favor which are NOT reviewable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avisan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Yikes. They literally discussed this play on the live broadcast, it's not like this is some subtle find.

Bills!Win! Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Tua still ended up throwing An interception at the end of the game. I’ve always been a proponent of the fact that if you Are as good as you say, you are. You should be good enough to overcome bad calls, and just beat the other team. By admitting that they call went against you. It’s pretty much throwing up the white flag saying that you were expecting the refs to bail you out and help you win. Edited January 12 by Bills!Win!

KDIGGZ Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I knows a guy, Tommy 2 Shoes, says da Bills games is rigged cuz Terry Pegs bought a stadium but he didn't have the caysh for a roof so he put it on layaway. And that Joshy Allen, I hear he's dating that actress Hailee Swift. I'm preeeettttty sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Regarding this play, not long ago the NFL changed the rules to allow QBs(and maybe all runners??) to give themselves up by diving head first- not just sliding. I wonder if it could be argued that Allen was giving himself up (which he clearly is) and is therefore down in bounds before he hits the ground, just like sliding. Ps If anyone thinks the NFL is really rigging it for the Bills, just show them the Eagles game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever they need to sell those PSLs - that team wins. You can track it back to the Jon Gruden Bucs, early ravens, Matt hasselback seahawks the Cardinals the Rams (twice in two cities!) the pats the 49ers the Giants. Within 5 years of a new stadium you get to the SB. the cowboys and lions are the only two. Cowboys Jerry paid for it all himself - no need. Lions beyond help. (Chargers and Jets don’t count bc the team they share the stadium with won instead) Edited January 12 by peterpan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRH Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The only thing I saw that was scripted about that game was the bull#### spot after the 4th down play just after the 2 minute warning. The league was going to make sure those last two minutes meant something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If they had stopped the clock, the 4th down try would have occurred at around 2:10 and given Miami the ball at 2:03 if the Bills had still gone for it and failed. Miami at best would have had an extra 10 more seconds and one clock stoppage for the 2 minute warning. But time wasn't really their enemy: Tua was.

Facts are Burrow suffered his season ending injury the week prior to the Bills vs. Eagles game. The Eagles were in no threat of missing the playoffs at that point, even having the leagues best record at that point I believe. Meanwhile a loss for the Bills would seemingly have put the nail in their coffin for the season. In a tight game the flag discrepancy at one point was 10 to 1 against the Bills in that game I believe. If your theory is accurate surely the officials in such a critical game for the Bills season could have found one or two calls that would have resulted in a Bills victory that day.
