1. Roughing the Passer on Kyle Love on Ryan Fitzpatrick in the endzone
2. Pass Interference on Sergio Brown in opposite end zone 2 plays later on Patriots Interception
3. Losing our 2nd timeout when BB was speaking with the referee
My Comments
1. I have no explanation. Kyle Love was running full speed and hit Fitzpatrick cleanly. It was a perfect form tackle and for the 2nd straight week our player was flagged incorrectly on a clean hit
2. The referee/umpire or whoever threw the flag (very, very late i might add) should be fined/suspended. It was very, very obvious that the Bills player grabbed Sergio Brown, and not the other way around. It was the play of the game as we were up 24-17 and shouldve had the ball at the Bills 20 yard line. Instead the Bills scored TDs on the next two plays and essentially win the game.
3. I have no explanation. I did not see BB the entire conversation but I did not see him signal for a timeout at all during the communication with the referee. If he did, unacceptable. A coach simply must understand the game and not blow a time out when doing so ends the game. If he did not call the timeout, I dont understand how a referee can arbitrarily call a timeout on a team. I do not know a rule that calls for that. My understanding, although maybe limited in some fashion, would be that an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty would be called on the patriots and the bills would be given the ball halfway the distance to the goalline. I am interested to find out an explanation for this post game
