Excellent, we can see a bunch of posts again about how that was a FORWARD LATERAL and that we really won the game....On a positive note we do get to see Rob Johnson lead the team downfield for what should have been the game winning FG.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

I think I may look at it again...only to see if I was right when I said Byron Boston (the official whose job it was to see whether or not it was a legal pass or not) was behind the play! Had he been in the proper position, we MIGHT have had a totally different result

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

I still think that if it was called a forward lateral on the field, it would have stood after replay. Remember replay is with CONCLUSIVE evidence....you cannot conclusive tell if the ball goes forward or backward....However it was called is the way it stuck.

Much like the immaculate reception...you can't tell if the ball hits Tatum or ***ua before Harris catches it. Remember at the time it was illegal for an offensive player to touch the ball directly after another offensive player touched it.

Both judgement calls and both plays two of the more historic NFL moments, unfortunately for us, we happened to be on the wrong side of one.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

Yeah...there's no way Luckett could've overturned the call on the field. The closest camera angle was still behind the play

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

As I looked at it again, it was a lot closer than I thought. It was within inches. I still think it was forward, but it was definitely a lot closer than I remember. Yes, if the official was in position and called it originally, I think the Bills win that game.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

The original call was the key, because either way, it wasn't going to be overturned. And Boston was behind the play and out of position. And EVERYONE and their mother thought it was a forward pass, even the Titan's owner. Oh well.

And as for the Inaccurate Reception, Harris traps the ball on the ground. There is a perfect picture of it that I've seen. And even still, it hit ***ua, which makes it a dead ball anyway.

Yeah 'shoeless rob' left the field with about 16 seconds on the clock or so and a WIN for the Bills. Again doing all he could do to get a win. Then the ST's fugg it up completely.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

Here is the worst part...the Bills have done NOTHING to get back to the playoffs and do someting to erase those bad memories for their fans.

He sure did all he could do to get the Bills a win.

By going 10-22 for 131 yards, 0 TDs, 0 Ints. 6 sacks for -35 yards, a safety (2 points) setting up Tenn. for a easy TD (7 points) for a total of 9 points given to Tenn. in a game which they only won by 6. And fumbling Twice.

By far Rob Johnson was the single worst Bills player on the field that day.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

Stats mean nothing to anyone who knows what they are watching. Yes, Rob played badly in that game...at times. There were a few drives in which he played very well also

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

It was a forward pass - Wychek's body is completely behind the line, and when Dyson or whoever it was catches it, he catches it like a good 4 inches in front of the line. The line is like 10 inches wide - that's more than half of my upper arm, so it should probably be more than half of Wychek's upper arm - it went FORWARD - not by much, but it definitely went forward.

Re: Music City Miracle revisited

I was in NYC at a Bills Bar when that happened! I have never seen so many depressed people at one time. A group of Bills fans were so upset they ordered a giant glass beer barrel of beer to drown their sorrow. We got jobbed and robbed.I will to the day I die will say that was an illegal play. To quote Kevin James (King of Queens) colorful yet clean curse word.

Sonofamother!!! We got screwed!
