Vrabel whining about the officiating in Bills/Pats

[Livinginthepast]

I always thought Vrabel was a good coach but he always has that I smelled a really bad fart look on his face combined with supreme arrogance.  He just is mad that his coach of the year chances just took a serious hit.

I agree that the Bills benefited from several soft calls at very critical times, much like Mahomes. But I don’t feel the least bit bad about it.

Call the Waaaaaaambulance!

[DrDawkinstein]

Yeah, bad look for Vrabel and really all of New England (although cant say I'm surprised at their fans).

 

It's like they completely forgot about that 20-year Brady era where they got every call, the refs made up rules DURING THE GAMES for them, and the numerous cheating scandals that surrounded them.

Someone should ask Mike Vrabel how he feels about Vedarian Lowe getting away with a blatant hands to the face on Groot, right in front of the Referee.  This was a critical third and 3 on the drive into the half that they ended up getting 3 points out of.   This was a direct violation of Rule 12 sections 1-2 illegal use of hands/facemask.

 

watch the play....Lowe's lefthand goes right to groots face and pushes it up and he just leaves it there the whole time.  Should have been third and thirteen.

 

Funny how Vrable just missed this one!  This missed call resulted directly in points for New England.

 

 

 

Here's another one that should have wiped out Henderson's 2nd half TD:

 

And I don't complain about missed calls like this, it happens to every team in every game. The officials are only human after all. But it's ridiculous to try and act like there was bias shown towards either team.

They also apparently forgot about the 1st match-up we had w/ them, which was fairly one-sided in their favor.

He’s got to be kidding. I don’t doubt there could’ve been holds called on the Bills. I saw tons of Patriots mugging our defenders at the line also.
My take is zebras were just going to let them play unless there was a flagrant hold that had a real impact on the game.

absolutely, but Bottom line is I would rather him blame the officials than look internally how his team gave up 5 second half TDs and were held to 7 points (on one big broken play) in the second half... 

His whinefest might be good news for the Bills, long term, because it suggests that he might not be such a good coach after all. What kind of message does that send to your team about losing, especially after blowing a 21-0 lead that is at least partly his own fault? Blame the refs! How about the weather, too, while you're at it, Mike? No need for self-analysis, course correction. It was all someone else's fault

 

I say let him whine. Encourage him, in fact. The more he does so, the less likely the Patriots will succeed.

He seemed to miss the thrown punch. The non catch in the 1st drive. The tackle in bounds prior to the FG. The clock not running before the half as well.

Here he is saying nothing he could have done about Allen's performance. Allen is just too good for him to deal with:

 

Pathetic all around.

He sounds like a guy explaining to his family why his wife left him for another man. 

[May Day 10]

bad look for an NFL head coach.  Especially one who got out-classed in the 2nd half of what once looked like a walk-away win.

There was a massive hold that lead to a TD run too. Don’t hear him crying about that one either.

That was Henderson's second long td run. One of our DL was blatantly held -- arm extended jersey grab but was not called.

[SectionC3]

None of it matters.  Let him piss off the refs in advance of round 3.  That’s the one that counts.

I have lost respect for him.  Seems since he has went to NE he has changed to the pats "Whiny b*****" ways of doing things.

 

He used to be a tough guy. 

 

Plenty of illustrations out there of NFL guys with a tough guy persona who are actually p*ssies when the going gets tough. Vrabel is no different.

[Success]

It's wild how many Pats fans online think that the interception should have stood on that 4th & 2.

 

For starters, Jones didn't secure the ball until Shakir was down.  But it DOES NOT MATTER - because he clearly interfered with Shakir on that play.

 

Lost in all of it was how perfect that throw from Allen was.

 

[Fleezoid]

The Bills have been on the wrong side of close, or bad calls for more than they've been on the good side. So I could care less. 

 

It does feel odd to finally get the benefit of the doubt with the refs.
