A team that coughs up 4 turnovers doesn't get to blame the refs. Especially when the refs' judgment kept it from being 5.

Sloppy heavily penalized teams get closer scrutiny than good teams. I would put more blame on poor coaching and poor playing that lets a terrible team stay in the game for the win. That's just inexcusable.

Watch other games.

The refs do this crap in every game.

Good teams overcome it, bad teams wither and blame it.

If that was a Bills defender trying to rip the ball out, he would have been guilty of a personal foul.

By the way, I have never heard of an illegal pealback block.

Oh, I said "helps" not was the main reason. Defense mostly did what it needed to. This loss is almost entirely on EJ. and a little on Whaley

I like to listen to intelligent people, please don't muddy up my thread with your ignorance.

So, that was a good penalty? They get so over scrutinized that the referees have to make up calls? I mean, sure they deserve a lot of their calls because of sloppiness. But we shouldn't let the zebras off the hook because of it.

Why oh why has GOD turned his back on the City of Buffalo?

Re: and another key phantom penalty helps kill the Bills

The penalty bothered me, but there were plays after that.

-All they had to do was keep the Jags out of the endzone. They gave up a 31 yard td pass.
-Closing in on FG range on their last drive, they had 3 chances to gain one yard and couldn't, blowing a timeout, lazily strolling around in no real hurry. Shots downfield ? Nah.
-Final play and they roll Manuel left when he throws right handed, like that had any chance.

Yeah, the penalty bothered me, but they lost because they earned it.

Robey never touched him, and the Bills probably win this game is they don't make that bogus call.

Is that true or not?

Oh I'm sorry keep whining that the refs and NFL hate the Bills and blame their failures for the past 15 years on it.

Because that's so much more intelligent.

After watching that TD pass 2 plays later with how wide open that guy was on the goal line, I say no. Because Jacksonville goes for it on 4th down there anyway and probably calls that exact play.

Bortles ran away from pressure and threw a TD, so what makes you think he can't do that on 4th down ?

Fans blaming refs is the cumulative of watching a bad to mediocre team. It makes the fanbase look so bad
