Whitner did intercept that pass in the end zone. It was clear that he had his hands under the ball and not only did the refs get it wrong the first time but after reviewing the play they still couldnt see it. That would have been the play to change the game. The Lions wouldnt have scored that field goal and it would have been 17 to 17. Whitner sure is showing why he was the 8th pick in the draft.

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
I want to believe it, but the ball did jump a bit when it hit the ground... therefor incontivertable proof was not shown in the replay.
that being said witner is a gamerIn my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned. -
Re: The refs robbed Whitner
it was an extremely close call, but we all know the Bills aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt.Comment

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
It was a GREAT effort, but it wasnt a pick.. It was a good call..
Whitner is having a decent rookie season, and he's getting better.I refuse to evaluate whether he was worth a top ten pick in just a few games, but for the most part I'm liking what seein in him.Comment

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
I think we got robbed of an INT but not the game. Even if we got that INT, we deserved to lose.Comment

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
We got ripped off.
I noticed watching some other games today that the refs almost seem to go through the motions just to placate the red flag- then come back with "Tough ****- we were right all along"
Did that in the Jet game when Chris Baker had obviously stretched the ball out
for a first down.Comment

BAD CALL - TWICE!!!!
The whole bar was yelling about it...mind you, it was the Pats bye, so these were fans of several different teams and a couple of Pats fans ALL SAYING WE GOT SCREWED.
I think we need a phone number to flood with calls like on American Idol...
let America decide! F*** the refs!!!

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
Whitner is and always will be a Buckeye so of course he is a gamer and I will root for him 14 weeks of the season.

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
It was the right call. He didn't clearly cuff the ball. If it touches the ground at all it's an incompletion. There definitely wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call on the field. It's just the Bills fan in you wanting to believe he caught it. Had it been the Lions with that same play you would've agreed with the call.
It was a very close play. If it even skids against the ground then it isn't a reception. Even Steve Tasker who loves the Bills agreed with it.

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
Screw Tasker..it was a catch. And I'd say the same thing if it was a Lions who caught it.
And no, not enough evidence to over turn it, but they never should have called it a no catch in the first place.

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
The rule is NOT that if it touches the ground, it is an incompletion. That rule was changed after a playoff game involving Tampa Bay (I don't remember the other team - maybe St. Louis?) several years ago. If the player has control of it before it hits the ground, it's still a catch.Originally posted by BillsFever21"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

Re: The refs robbed Whitner
I thought it was a catch, but I also thought the views the review official had were not going to give conclusive evidence to overturn. It was close enough that I could not complain too much about it.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.Comment
