The officiating in that game was brutal but I think we were the beneficiary for once. There were at least 2 PI's where a Bills player obviously pulled the Viking's jersey that weren't flagged.

Oh well.

After 20 years of "sucks to be us" we've got a lot of "sucks to be them" catching up to do.

You always like to point out things that are negative against the Bills.

How about pointing out that on the 2nd to last play Knox was being tackled before the ball got there?

I didn't notice that one.

It still ended up sucking to be us anyway though.

The officiating sucked both ways, equally, but not sure how they can miss a 12 men on the field, especially when it's a reviewable play

Of course you didn't. If that's Kelce/Mahomes or Gronk/Brady you can bet your ass PI is being called.

Here's the link. If I knew how to post Twitter videos I could make it easier for you.

Just to point out too, 12 men on the field in OT during any game is a coaching choke.

It was PI. But they also didn't call a bunch of other PI, so I guess it evened out? I don't know, officiating is so wishy washy now

That's because it would have been a soft PI call that they hadn't flagged all game. Bills and Vikings got away with a lot of hand fighting from the DB's and it was enjoyable to watch.

Benford basically mugged Jefferson before one of the miracle catches he made and there was no flag which was consistent with how they were calling PI.

Bills got a number of lucky breaks on Sunday. The officials were nowhere near the list of reasons we lost.

Law of averages is kicking in. Sort of. If it truly was, we would have won.

Speaking of the Law of Averages, when are we going to win a toss?

This. Even Moose said on numerous occasions that it could have been called but the refs are letting them play on both sides of the ball.
Indecently, Jefferson came down with his catches, Davis and Knox did not.
