/dev/null Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 i believe it was an Unsportsmanlike Conduct for threatening to beat the Patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art in PNS Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Wasn't Witner it was an illegal block in the back by someone on the return. Did'nt catch the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 It was a block in the back on Nate Clements. The guy he blocked in the back, IIRC, was the guy that Whitner jumped over. I don't recall seeing a good replay of it but it looked to me to clearly be a penalty, and even if the refs didn't blow the play dead for Whitner being IN bounds, it would have been called back. i think it was a good or reasonable call. It looked to me like Clements pushed him in the back and he would have made the tackle without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I saw it several times. It was a bullshiit call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with all the ferocity of Pee Wee Herman, pre-exposure days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I saw it several times. It was a bullshiit call. 768583[/snapback] I just watched it several times on tivo. If you go to 8:20 left in the 4th quarter and slow it down you can see Clements clearly use both hands to shove the guy down. It's not even a questionable call.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 We saw different things, then. I saw the guy getting OLE'd by Clements as he was going down and diving for Whitner's legs, only to miss them because Whitner hurdled him. And for good measure, the zebras somehow see that Whitner steps out of bounds, so that even IF the block in the back isn't called, it's no TD since the whistle blew. Genius. And I can name a laundry list of penalties the zebras missed that would have gone in favor of the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Adams Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I just watched it several times on tivo.

It was a dumb play by Clements because he might have scored even without the block in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Agreed. It was a dumb play by Clements because he might have scored even without the block in the back. 768644[/snapback] Another thing that needs to be said, is that the refs blew the whistle at that point. A lot of players stopped at the 50 yard line. Whitner MAY have scored on the play if they didn't call it Ob AND if they didn't call the penalty but even that is very suspect. The Pats didn't try to run him down. Virtually ALL of the Bills ran with him toward the endzone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
