[GreenCow is standing up for Buffalo] Just like usual, NFL hates the Bills

[GreenCow]

How much more rigged could that game have been?

Interfere with Cooks in the endzone - no call. We barely touch their receiver, flags flying everywhere.

I cant remember the last time I saw an OT playoff game where refs got THAT involved. Usually they stay out of the way.

And that catch/INT? Unreal. JUT LAST YEAR in the AFCCG they called that SAME EXACT situation a catch for KC.

NFL hates the Bills.

 

[DaBruinz]

You're so full of CRAP! The BILLS were HANDED multiple TDs all year long. Not to mention IGNORING clear false starts.

Go whine where someone might actually CARE.

 

[Ross12]

Oh brother.

**** off

**** off

Yeah thats what the NFL said.

We’ve all been on the bad side of questionable calls. And we’ve all conveniently forgotten the calls that went the other way. (Holding in the end zone for a safety, anyone?)

At the end of the day, no team “deserves” to win with that many turnovers.

Enjoy the last 80 minutes of anyone talking about your team this year. I imagine a good chunk of it was that brilliant blind backwards lateral with 10 seconds to go in the first half by your physically gifted QB on the Buffalo 35 TD line. Chefs kiss on that one, Genius!

 

[GreenCow]

Oh brother.

You know we were screwed Ross.

The call came in from NY.

True.

But NO other calls were as blatant and ridiculous as that no catch/INT. It directly decided the game.

And then to add insult to injury, the refs gave the Broncos 50 yards of penalties to get them in field goal range.

This isn't just a bad call - its a screw job.

Pats got screwed on many calls most notably the non "in the grasp" call in Super Bowl 42, so you're not going to get sympathy from any of us.

Regarding the game:

Cooks is soft. The wind could make him fall to the ground or jar the ball loose.

McDermott shouldn't have let White tap out on the final drive which Nix targeted the DB replacing him. At some point, the finger has to be pointed to McDermott as he's becoming notorious for late game collapses.

Beane is a terrible GM and comically thought he fixed the defense after the draft. This isn't Madden.

Allen is being wasted in Buffalo as he has nobody to throw to. But Beane will point that the offense put up "30 points" so that will enable him to do nothing. Allen needs to put some heat on management.

Buffalo fans will be praying Houston wins as it will be a terrible look to see NE get back to the Super Bowl before Allen and the Bills do. Somebody will get will fired this off-season.

Did NY tell them not to call the holding in their own end zone too, to avoid the safety? Can you explain that one to me? I'm having a hard time understanding that one. Or maybe it was that NY called Josh "Hero Ball" Allen and told him run around the middle of the field holding the ball out away from his body for no reason at the end of the first half? Maybe that was NY too?

No but those were mid-game calls.

Not at the very end where a single call can decide a game. The no-catch (INT) call literally decided the game.

5 turnovers. Those three points Allen gave them was the margin. Without that bonehead play alone - BUF moves on.

Play the quote your current, but soon to be fired HC, said after hearing Vrabel complain about calls in the last NE v BUF contest…

Dude read the room and know your history.

You are addressing fans of the New England Freaking Patriots and claiming YOUR cute little rural franchise is being targeted by Goodell?

Here’s a nickel. Buy yourself a clue.

It’s a misconception that something that happens at the end of the game is worth more. Points scored or given up in the first half count the same amount.

Bruh. The hold in the end zone was in OT. Did you watch the game?

You can not seriously be telling me that Pats fans think Goodell didnt favor them for 2 decades!?

 

[XLIX]

There was a bad - or perhaps I should say inconsistent - call with the pass interference where one was allowed and the other called on what was 2 virtually identical plays.

 

[DaBruinz]

@Ross12 - Can you just lock the thread or sent it off the Pats main board??
