A team cannot overcome poor play calling, poor QBing, and incompetent/crooked refs.
All you whiney know-it-alls will say refs shouldn't make a difference. But they do. Ask the Pats. They finally had a call, actually 2 calls go against them in the Panthers game.
How does the head ref overrule the line judge who is 10 feet away and calls pass interference on 3rd and long? Seriously. The head refs duty on a passing play is to be looking at the QB. How could he corect the line judge from 30 yards away? That picked up flag was huge.
Bills second last drive. After 3rd down, a ref spots the ball. The head ref then came in and moved it back 2 feet. Bring out the chains...Bills short 1 foot. 4th down. QB sneak. Ball is marked. Head ref again moves the ball back 1 foot from initial spot. Bring out the chains, Bills short 6 inches.
On JPs fumble - how did the ball come out of his hand as a spiral if the ball was knocked out before his hand was moving forward?
In conclusion: JP misses open WRs. Bills don't throw downfield enough against weak DBs, to at least draw penalties.
Mularky/Clements take out WM on 3rd/2 play in the red zone to pitch the ball to the Bills 5th WR. Smith has plenty of room to run, and lead blockers, but considering he rarely gets a handoff, he runs right into the tackler.
Refs are either incompetent or the NFL really wants to sell more Vick jerseys.
