    Premptive "don't blame the refs" thread...

    The game's not over yet, but just in case...

    The refs are *NOT* the reason the Bills lose if they end up losing. You *cannot* win a game with 12 first downs. Period. So don't start pointing the fingers that way.

      It was an obvious catch though, we get that and drive is still alive. Cinci wouldn't have gotten ball and scored right than

        458 yards given up to a rookie QB and bad Bengals offense. Nuff said!

            There's no doubt the Bills D blows.

            But so did the Refs blowing the Bills fumble for Touchdown and Johnson's catch calls.

                  This is a cute thread, but the obvious catch that was ruled an incompletion was not the Bills fault, was it?

                  It is very adult to say don't blame the refs, but we looked to be in control until that call ****ed us...so while I appreciate you trying to tell everybody how to handle the loss, I'll have to disagree.

                    Regardless of the thread title, we got hosed by the refs.

                        Gotta be good enough to overcome calls like that. Terrible call at a critical point in the game, but it never should've been a factor to begin with.

                          I'll agree with a caveat. That was an important drive, they were moving the ball and that would have been another first down as they were getting their rhythm back.

                          As much as I hate to blame the refs, that was a game changer.

                            I didn't think our D was that bad, just wasn't great. gave up 23 points. Our offense let us down in my opinion.

                            but a horrible call against us stopped a great drive.
                            My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

                              While I won't blame the refs....that 3rd down catch by SJ that was ruled a no catch was huge...we get a 1st down there we might have scored and ending may have been different....however, doesn't excuse the awful play by D
