The game's not over yet, but just in case...
The refs are *NOT* the reason the Bills lose if they end up losing. You *cannot* win a game with 12 first downs. Period. So don't start pointing the fingers that way.

"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."
Our defense blows. Offense was out of cync today. Refs effed up but the Bills did this to themselves
It was an obvious catch though, we get that and drive is still alive. Cinci wouldn't have gotten ball and scored right than
458 yards given up to a rookie QB and bad Bengals offense. Nuff said!
too late...already happening in the game thread
There's no doubt the Bills D blows.
But so did the Refs blowing the Bills fumble for Touchdown and Johnson's catch calls.
Dareus paying off dividends.
D is terrible.

This is a cute thread, but the obvious catch that was ruled an incompletion was not the Bills fault, was it?
It is very adult to say don't blame the refs, but we looked to be in control until that call ****ed us...so while I appreciate you trying to tell everybody how to handle the loss, I'll have to disagree.
Regardless of the thread title, we got hosed by the refs.

Gotta be good enough to overcome calls like that. Terrible call at a critical point in the game, but it never should've been a factor to begin with.

I'll agree with a caveat. That was an important drive, they were moving the ball and that would have been another first down as they were getting their rhythm back.Originally Posted by MikeInRoch
As much as I hate to blame the refs, that was a game changer.
I didn't think our D was that bad, just wasn't great. gave up 23 points. Our offense let us down in my opinion.
but a horrible call against us stopped a great drive.
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
While I won't blame the refs....that 3rd down catch by SJ that was ruled a no catch was huge...we get a 1st down there we might have scored and ending may have been different....however, doesn't excuse the awful play by DOriginally Posted by MikeInRoch
we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be...
we shall never surrender...
"In control"? Really? Did you watch the second half?Originally Posted by Beebe's Kid
We gave up over 400 yards to the ****ing Bengals, yeah the D is that bad.
The refs DID suck though. That was a HUGE call against us. "Oh, don't blame the refs" How about that pass interference call against us early in the game. Tasker said, " well it's because he was in front of the line of scrimmage, if he was behind the line, it is ok" only Jackson WAS behind the line on the screen pass. The Bengals seemed to be jumping on the pile the whole game too. They seemed to be playing dirty.
The only good thing I can see is that maybe people won't be so quick to give "Fitzmagic" 10 mil per year. He was awful today. Our defense was awful today too.
Lastly, the tuck rule is the stupidest rule in the NFL. "Well, he wasn't trying to throw it, be he had it knocked out of his hands. We'll just call it an incomplete pass" Not a sack, not a fumble, stupidity.
That "no catch" call killed the team's momentum. Its pretty obvious that this team thrives off of the momentum. Kill the momentum, kill the team. I don't agree with that call but it is what it is
Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
