somebody pls explain that non-reversal

[Meathead]

ok look, i have been the guy to point out the bills have been living a charmed life this season. theyve played well and made lots of plays, but you can easily point to several totally lucky plays the previous two games that essentially determined their wins

so it was indeed time for pure luck to conspire against them just to even the score

but how could an nfl ref stand up with a high resolution replay of the johnson first down play possibly diagram to me how that is NOT a catch??

i really dont get it. and im about to go to the er. so pls save me a deductable and help me climb back the hell out of the rabbit hole

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

No explanation...it was clearly a catch and every replay supported that.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

forget the gd replay. just throw a fkng ten sided dice. you cant rely on replay if you cant get that call right

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

The only thing I can think is that they thought there wasn't enough to overturn it. I don't agree at all - that was a pretty bad call IMO.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

my dad says he saw the ball shift when clements swiped his hand inside

two retorts:

- i looked closely and i THOUGHT i saw the ball shift slightly but when i looked at it again it was actually clements ORANGE WITH BLACK TRIM GLOVE that was shifting near the ball. what appears to be the ball moving an inch or two is actually his glove getting caught up as he swipes close to the ball - the ball doesnt move at all

- EVEN IF the ball moved an inch or two, it was three plus feet above the ground, johnson had the ball securely between his body, his fingers, and his forearm, AND the ball never touched the ground!!!

seriously, how do you as a highest level nfl ref stand up and diagram to me on a slow-mo board, how that is NOT a catch??@?!??!@$R%%?^?

did someone slip me an lsd or something i think im tripping

Unreal, that cost us the game. They stole the game because of that call, we stay alive and it's a 2 score game.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

Terrible call to start with made even worse by not overturning it. Why have replay if you're not going to overturn obvious mistakes?

[Mad Bomber]

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

That was a bull**** call, and it probably changed the outcome of this game.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

if there isnt enough to overturn the call there then just shut the system the fk down. its a waste of gd time to have replays that crystal clear when you dont even fkg use them

anybody got a blood pressure monitor cut theres a little trickle of blood coming out my ear

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

It's not the refs fault that the Bills came in totally lethargic.

True..

What I saw was his hand and arm were UNDER the ball when he hit the ground. Never lost possession, nor did the ball hit the turf....

HORRIBLE call.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

anybody? somebody want to try to explain that with any logic whatsoever?

drag a bengals fan over here if you have to. something, ANYTHING, to explain how you possibly could not determine thats an obvious catch

[imbondz]

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

the problem w/ the call was that it looked like a catch live, not just in replay. made no sense

[imbondz]

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

all bengals fans would agree, but who cares, you get some calls, some you don't. we got screwed on that call.

Re: somebody pls explain that non-reversal

There was nothing that could overturn it. Pretty easy. When they looked at it, they saw that there HAD to be something on the other side where the official called it. There was absolutely nothing they could see to show WHY the official called it incomplete, so they had to go with the call on the field. They has had no view of what the official saw (or didn't see).
