Dwight Drane Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Anyone else pissed at watching Evans unbuckle his chinstrap and pout with 12 seconds left only to just make it back at the last second? Also....Levitrie was calling for a timeout with 29 seconds left and we didn't get it until 22. Evans always rubs me the wrong way a few times a year with his Fem tactics....and tonight was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 the clock was re-set to :28 after the sack. That said, the officiating was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hossage Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I didnt notice that, but I would consider that to be a pretty big deal. He does get pouty. He blamed people a few times last year in his interviews. Those illegal procedure penalties were incorrect, and i saw a major double standard as far as holding was concerned.

I have more respect for a guy with an 80 IQ who tries hard after making a poor decision than I do for a guy with a 120 IQ who doesn't play until the gun goes off.

You must be friggin crazy. They gave us that gift against Wolfork. NE has the only gripe about the officials as it was an over-reaction to the Brady rule.

How many holding penalties did the Pats* take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell and Nelson are talented....but they aren't the sharpest either, and were flagged 6 times total. I know Wood is the fashionable guy to praise....but he played like a captain out there tonight.....driving guys 10 yards down the field...picking up stunts......I guess this line might be ok, if we can adjust to other teams having tape on the new system.

Got_Wood Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I dunno.... we actually got some borderline personal foul calls to go our way in NE..... restored my faith in the Zebras a little bit TIMING is crucial with penalties called. All of our penalties were given to us when we had 1st down back in our own territory. We had FOUR 1st downs negated because of BOGUS penalties. The Patriots had ZERO. NOT ONE DRIVE STOPPED BECAUSE OF A PENALTY. Maybin was getting held every other time I watched him rush Brady. They had home field advantage, and more. Don't kid yourself. We made some mistakes, but the referees laid it on a platter for NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans always rubs me the wrong way a few times a year with his Fem tactics....and tonight was one of them. There was so much confusion after the first sack. It looked like Edwards wanted to run the play, or just spike the ball, without using a timeout. He rushed to the line and looked ready to go. And all of a sudden Levitre started calling for the timeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Anyone else pissed at watching Evans unbuckle his chinstrap and pout with 12 seconds left only to just make it back at the last second? No, because like me, he probably thought they were just going to let the clock run out, that there wasn't enough time to get everyone back to the line and set for one last play.

Those penalties against Bell, all of four of them were legit. Wilfork's penalty was a gift to the Bills. Whitner spearing was a good call and a stupid play by him. Blame the defensive philosophy after the Bills went up 24 - 13. They stopped being aggressive and gave up too many easy plays. Then blame McKelvin for fumbling. The zebras had nothing to do with the outcome. Can't hold a lead once again. I'm not sure that the Bills win even if McKelvin doesn't fumble. Van Pelt called a very good game but if Jauron starts calling things not to lose then we usually lose. I pin this one on Jauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
