    Lateral or Illegal Forward Pass? You decide!

    NFL.com has highlights from one of the biggest screw jobs of the Buffalo Bills' history. Check it out! Go to http://www.nfl.com and scroll down until you see this....


    Frank Wycheck's lateral in the '99 playoffs was an unforgettable wild-card moment.

    I just got done watching it and am now positive that it was an illegal forward pass!!! The ball went forward!!! WTF!

    It was a Lateral and the refs got it right.

    That was my inital thought. It was definitely a foward pass.

    I was starting to wonder if I was wrong about it being illegal when I saw no flags or anything. We were screwed for sure

      Yeah well, we're ALWAYS screwed. It's called the Buffalo Jinx.

      Music City Miracle, Skate in the Crease, Ahman Green Fumble. It goes on and on. I got used to it.

        It was one of the biggest snow jobs in the history of the NFL to cover the incompetence of the officiating!

        Lateral my left stone! The ball was thrown clearly from behind the yard line while the catch was clearly made ahead of the line. Inches possibly, but that's all it takes. Besides, it had to have been negative yardage, not equal anyway.

        That was equal to the screw job that the Raiders got last year on the Pats or even worse.

        NFL refs; what do ya expect! Them to get something important right. Heck, in the big games, you just hope they don't call anything. That's the best thing that can happen.
        Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!

        Then let's go to Disneyworld!

        GO BILLS!!!

          There is no way to rewrite the history book, so it's time to jest let it go.

          I don't think we would have gone any further with Johnson playing at quarterback. Even though Tennessee went on to play RJ did not have another game left in him. RJ tried to lose the game for us, but the rest of the team wasn't going to let him.

          If RJ is playing for Tampa Bay in their next game, they can call it an early season. I don't think there defense can do it again.

          GO!!!...BUFFALO!!!...

            But I'll never get used to it.

              I agree 100% Wys- the ball was thrown from behind the yard line and was caught in front- perfectly viewable as it happened right on the 30 or 35 and the yard line painted across the field.

              See? We agree at times!

              :shades:
              Argue like hell. Keep it clean. And when it's over, shake hands and root for our team!

                  The past is for losers and fools.

                  Time to move on.

                    I actually think we would have gone to the Super Bowl that year. I remember saying before that game, the winner of the Bills/Titans is going to the Super Bowl. I actually think that was the turning point of RJ's career. He played well enough to win...hell...he did win. RJ never seemed to have any conifence, maybe this would have given him some. idk, maybe its just me, but I think if we won that game, we would have won a Super Bowl by now and RJ would still be our QB.
                    Its all about the quest.

                        LA needs a football team so that I can watch a Bills game live.

                          Also, remember the last game of the regular season in 1999, RJ started for Flutie against the Colts, if we wouldve lost that game we wouldve played against a lesser opponent, i forgot which team it would be though.

                            It looked like a forward pass to me, but it was still an amazing moment. Well, it was a great moment if you aren't a Bills fan. :)
