I didn't think the penalty was

1) warrented. Fletch was off his feet before Boller released. It wasa close call.


2) Cost us the game > It kept a FG drive alive but I'd rather keep my LB's aggressive and getting a lick in on the QB. It wasn't a flagrantly dumb penalty by any means. It was one of those "QB's gotta wear a dress" penalties.

I agree.

Still a bad play. And explain the kicking the ball penalties in early games.

Later Fletcher crushed him in the same exact manner and no flag. The first flag was BS. I NEVER claimed he was innocent for the kicking the ball penalties or other stupid penalties. Just in this case, I think the call was wrong.

Kicking the ball penalty was stupid.

But that roughing the QB call today- and the one vs the Pats were IMHO pretty weak calls- and If I were the coach I'd tell him to keep coming hard...not be a pussy and be afraid of penalties.

Gerry Austin is losing it.

It doesn't matter if you're off your feet. He hit Boller in the head. He could have taken off in Buffalo, never touched ground, and it's still a penalty. Stupid.

I agree it is lame but he hit him in the head, that will get called every time!

There was a play later where he did sack Boller by literally flying over him, where he almost missed that sack too. That's not the first case he's done that. I think the penalties are reflecting his over pursuit/out of control attitude on plays. Ray Lewis is nuts but at least he plays under control. Maybe less caffeine before games?

Fletcher is a :curse:ing knucklehead. He missed a lot of tackles in the first half...I think that he is highly overrated. For all of the good he does, he does us worse in penalties and missed tackles at the most inopportune times.:down:

Here is a telling stat I just heard, Fletcher accounts for 1/3 of the Bills penalties this year.

Hit him in the had...WITH HIS GROIN! He was airborn when Boller threw the ball. If Boller stands in there and gets hit, that's his problem. Hitting the QB in the head is a stipulation for blows to the head with a hand or helmet. Laying your junk on Boller's noggin and knocking him to the ground is not a penalty. The refs blew it, no to mention it hardly cost us the game. Why the hell are we faulting ANYONE on the defense when, in effect, they only gave up 10 points? (one field goal came off of a drive that started at like the 19 after one of the Int's) If we can't score 10, then our defense is the lest of our worries. Quit looking for someone to blame where it is not warranted.

True. If we are scoring more on O, we aren't talking about this, it's a non-issue. But since the O is sucking ass, every mistake on D is magnified 100x, which puts us in a deeper hole at times.

But that could be a new category for us, the sack-by-groin stat.

His sack was insane I loved it. Just bought his jersey today at 25% off that is.

Blingbling. Even the penalty called on him the week before was stupid. For the most part Fletcher has been doing great.
