Back to back timeouts? Isn't it a penalty?

[trapezeus]

Just curious? Should the dolphins have been penalized?

Yes, but for some reason they didn't charge the phins with the 2nd one. I'd say it was another gift from the refs.

Along with the no roughing the passer or pass interference. Poorly called game.

The Dolphins never called that second time out.

TBH, I thought the 'roughing the passer' was much more by accident than design, and if all things are equal, not that bad of a call. The hit was in time, and I think they all sort of fell over each other, rather than be looking for additional contact deliberately.

The pass interference miss was a bad one, as the DB had his arm hooked inside Evans for about 5 yards, and when he fell, I thought that if Evans had gone over, he might have got a call on that one, as I think the DB did make contact when he fell.

The bills somehow have to sort out their penalty 'issues'. Basically, whenever they needed a call, they didn't get it, and when they didn't need to get flagged, they were. I'm not calling 'bias' on this, what I'm saying is that they aren't helping themselves much. In fairness, they didn't get penalised that much, but so often timing makes a significant difference, and getting flagged on decent plays, seems to be a habit that they need to get out of quickly.

They did, but the refs let them off the hook. Kind of like when a coach goes to challenge, but is told he has no shot at winning it.

I don't think the roughing the passer was a penalty, and the pass interference was a tough call for the ref's angle.

I'm more frustrated by the lack of holding calls on the o-line, especially in the first half.

That's what bothered me the most...Long was holding Maybin on every play and it wasn't very subtle either. Then the refs call the Bills on back-to-back plays for holding...pretty sh**ty reffing, if you ask me.

Re: Back to back timeouts? Isn't it a penalty?

If you guys want to complain about lack of penalties, how about the fair catch interference on the free punt? Marshall made a fair catch and was run into by a Bills player. Should have been a flag.

Also, that so called "roughing the passer" was definitely not one. The Dolphin player tripped over his own player and just happened to land on top of Edwards. Not intentional, and the reason it wasn't a penalty.

As for the no-call on Allen for PI, that is a call that could have went either way. Wasn't clear cut either way, but thank goodness it wasn't called.

Don't act like there were calls that cost you the game.

Stop...just stop...that PI was clearly pass interference, but the ref missed it. Saying otherwise is plain ignorant.

As was the fair catch interference on the free kick.

These calls tend to cancel themselves out over the course of a game/season.

Yeah, I saw that, but I knew it was coming. That is the rule in the endzone...you need to keep the ball threw the entire play. Sucks, but I knew it wasn't a TD...per the rule.

Re: Back to back timeouts? Isn't it a penalty?

Meh.

The refs were fine - sure there some bad calls, but nothing that changed the game.

I thought the fair catch interference and the lack of a roughing call were the two worst. So each team got one.

Yeah. That was BS. Correct call but terrible rule!
