Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bills @ Pats

[stcjones]

Yeah, but Bill can't loose his sh*t on the sideline either.

Honestly almost anyone would have lost their sh*t watching brainless plays by pats players and horrifically bad officiating by Refs….

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

It wasn't a horse collar. He didn't grab him under his shoulder pads.

It was a classic horse collar by result. If Mac's legs didn't thankfully slip forward he could be done for the season. Watch how Hughes's pull down affects Mac's position as he falls, I get that the intent wasn't bad but it was an error on his part and should've have been flagged.

 

[Rob0729]

tbh i thought he was trying to slow Mac down rather than pull him down but it could have gone either way as a call

Hughes didn’t even initiate contact until a yard out of bounds. That alone should have been the penalty.

 

[Schmo]

He dragged him down 10ft OOB. Refs don't pick up flags based on intent.

He's a troll

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

At least we know Trent browns calf is healthy when he was getting that unsportsmanlike call.

 

[Ross12]

Double standards.

Push a dude out of bounds while he's still in bounds and trying to gain extra yards? That's a personal foul, buddy. Horse-collar drag a QB down from behind 10 yards out of bounds and twist his legs up? Well if you say you didn't MEAN to, we'll let it go.

 

[Ollie]

this is painful to watch. The offense has been tragic since the bye week

 

[PWRxWLF]

Two consecutive pathetic first halves. Nothing works. Jones looks overwhelmed, too. We need some turnover, pick-6, in order to get back into the game. And of course, eliminate stupid mistakes.

I wouldn’t say he looks overwhelmed. He looks how he has all year. Makes a few head scratcher throws/decisions. He’s done that all year. Guys aren’t getting open though. He has nowhere to go with the ball.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

One of the biggest games of the year in the AFC, and the NFL gives us the 8th best referee crew...

 

[DaBruinz]

That was a shot call. Doesn’t change the fact that BARMORE made a big mistake. Play the pity party all you want. Our guys are playing like ****. They’re making mental mistakes all over the damn place.

WTF are you talking about? What "pity party"? Why do you insist on making s**t up? Is that all you have?

Barmore moved in result to the false start by the Center.. Can't just drop your ass without snapping the ball.

 

[BillsfaninIowa]

He dragged him down 10ft OOB. Refs don't pick up flags based on intent.

I said I wouldn't be mad if they kept the flag. It was stupid of Hughes to even touch him. Technically he first touched him just as his first foot stepped out of bounds.
Besides, the roughing the passer call the previous play was weak as well. Obada had his facemask hit Macs facemask. It was incidental contact, Obada didn't lower his helmet to make contact.
It's funny though, how many calla have gone the Pat's way over the last 2 decades?
Still an entire half for Buffalo to **** this up.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Looks pretty grim right now but if the Pats start with a stop and a touchdown we’re in business

Only down 10. Cant go down 24-7

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Double standards.

That's a penalty but yanking Mac down 5 yards out if bounds isnt? ****ing jokes these refs

 

[JMC00]

Oh and by the way on the 4th & 7, that was a false start. center bobbed his head which has been called all year. joke refs

 

[Brick27]

Love how trolls are fine here, yet even HINT at something political and it locks a thread.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

It wasn't a horse collar... He didn't grab the nameplate. He grabbed the shoulders.. But it was OOBs.. That's a late hit. Pure and simple.

Maybe didn't grab the exact location to be 'classified' a horse collar but it is effectively the same result in terms of danger to Mac's legs getting caught underneath him. We are lucky his feet slipped forward rather than being stuck in the ground

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

5/13, 47 yards, 1 INT.

Ewwwww

 

[Since1960]

You don’t suppose it may be too late for Harry to have his big “Breakout Game” do you??

 

[festy1986]

This game is essentially for the division, we didn't come off the bye playing all that well and we're at home.

I really expected a whole lot more than this.

 

[sambam94]

I get why he picked up the flag on Hughes. I wouldn't be mad if they kept it, but he didn't really hit him and tried to hold him up.

he initiated contact out of bounds and caused Jones to fall awkwardly.. What if he was injured on that play...still no flag? Intent has nothing to do with it
