totally blown replay call

[Meathead]

evans has two hands clearly on the ball when his knee hits. the ball isnt moving, it stays in the same position until just after his knee hits

how a human being can walk away from the replay screen and not call that a reception for evans is beyond mind boggling. i woulda bet my doublewide that play was getting overruled

i DESPISE when people whine about the refs, but in a way that was WORSE than hochulis call because they had a chance to review it and they STILL got it dead wrong

sometimes when i see these obvious replays called wrong i think maybe ive just gone completely insane because thats the only way a ref could still get it wrong

one of the worst replay calls in bills history. thank god it didnt lose the game for us

Re: totally blown replay call

I agree completely, but I put special focus on the last line.

Re: totally blown replay call

that was pretty weak.

I know if that happened to me (my team) i would have lost it.

Re: totally blown replay call

That should've been either a down by contact or incompletion. No way it was a fumble. Awful call.

Re: totally blown replay call

does anybody have any idea whatsoever how they could possibly make a ruling like that?

ingtar? coach?

i mean on the replay im looking right at his hands on both sides of the ball and his knee touches the ground. play over. for sure. for absolute hairy ass sure

when the refs are in their review meetings tomorrow what explanation could the review ref possibly give?

it was called an interception right? evans was only credited with 1 fumble.. the one before the half.

Re: totally blown replay call

I agree entirely with you meathead.
The only way they could have called it was that Evans never had possession, and that the ball never hit the ground and rolled into the defenders arms without contacting the ground.
IMO it was a catch and down by contact. Obviously the ref had to believe he never had possession of the ball.

Re: totally blown replay call

That just goes to show you how good this young team is to overcome a bad call that put you out of the game because they scored a td after and we still won. This team knows how to win. Go bills!

Re: totally blown replay call

Simultaneous possession ALWAYS goes to the offense, by rule. The only way that call is valid and not overturned is if the defender clearly has 'more' possession than the receiver, which he didn't, or else the ref is blind and ignorant.

I vote the latter.

They also almost screwed the Raiders, though, with the PI/tipped ball call later on.

Re: totally blown replay call

MAN we had to overcome SO MANY bonehead/blown/bad plays/calls today but still PULLED OUT A WIN! I am still shocked. We haven't seen this type of team in years. Good teams will overcome and win the game. We are finally a good team again. 3-0.
