I viewed the play from numerous sources. Johnson snagged it. Clements tackled him, and stuck his hand in to try to dislodge it. When Johnson finally hit the ground, the ball contacted the ground. That's the NFL rule - no catch. I don't like that rule, but it exists.
Cripes, BUF was getting whipped at that point. Reasonable doubt would say that BUF would have done nothing with that 1st down.
A valid complaint was the review assistant's re-spot of Dalton's scramble in the final drive. I thought the original spot was short, but that the reviewer's spot was generous. CIN would have gone for it, and likely got it, given the way the 2nd half played out - CIN had 16 first downs, BUF, 4 in the 2nd half.
BUF scored 7 off of a bounce off a wr's shin, and 3 after a 28 yard gain by Roosevelt on a 10 yard deflection. Lady Luck favored the Bills to the tune of 10 points.
I've heard no complaints about the (unflagged) face mask on B. Leonard by Kelsey on his 14 yd scamp that set up the 42 yd fg by Nugent.
Everybody knows that Leonard is an excellent 3rd down specialist. Shame on the DC or the on-field play caller for not taking care.
Special teams did poorly. CIN got 69 yards' worth of field position off of punts, BUF got zero.
Head to toe, this was a team and coaching loss. The OL and DL performance was poor...you square up against a rookie qb, go to a 4 -3 and forget that fancy gap stuff.
Fred J. had to deal with a LB (Howard) that runs a 4.4. So run traps and off-tackle.
Spiller should be cut. He's the new Maybin.
