    FistBumpGate

    This should go viral, but ESPN et al won't acknowledge it. #NFLisRigged

    Re: FistBumpGate

    I too hope this blows up. Not just into conversation, but an epic blow up that catches fire. Causing many to review the game. I'm sure many like us will wonder why through 3 quarters 75% of our big plays and all of our INT returns were flagged. Then why half of those phantom calls weren't shown on replay. I've never seen anything like it.

    Unfortunately, it probably won't get any attention at all.

    Just like that overhead view of the Music City Miracle that showed it was a forward lateral. They showed that replay once, and never again. Wish I knew someone who recorded it live and could post that shot. Would be epic.

    Pereira isn't doing himself any favors by lounging in his chair looking like he just shot up some morphine or took some tranqs to educate the masses.

    Not to shoot the messenger, but this is crap. Somehow I'm not surprised an NFL officiating minion records this to stomp out any flames before a fire starts.

    Maybe somebody should've thrown a flag on the refs for excessive celebration.

    Are you sure its not? Think about it, nobody here saw it until somebody posted it to twitter and then it got posted here. How often after a call is made are you really watching the officials on your TV?

    The explanation for why makes sense, even if Periera is a massive douche.

    What benefit does he drive from stomping it out? Fanning offers him far more than doing bidding for a company that he doesn't work for anymore.

    How often has anything like that been seen in an NFL game? As you mentioned, with social media, if it was such a common occurrence some other examples would have been brought to light before this, it's not like Buffalo fans are the only demographic that would get pissed over such a display.

    I don't buy into these conspiracy theories but you mean to tell me this is the first time an official cant see the ball carrier? Also, the other official already signaled touchdown prior to this guy.

    You can't know or prove that. You're jumping to broad reaching conclusions based on what amounts to nothing but speculation. You can not like Pereira all you want, and I can't stand his condescension, but if the mechanics of the call were correct then what the **** are we even arguing about?

    True, but Buffalo fans haven't always been the most rational of critics when it came to calls (real or imagined) against their team over the last decade or so.
