Balls and Goats

Re: Balls and Goats

I really dont get the Hamlin ejection....I could ALMOST (but not) see a penalty there, but agree is he supposed to just let the guy catch the ball? he didnt lead with the helmet, didnt even really make contact with his own helmet on any part of the receiver, so its kinda BS. Almost seems that any big hit on a WR these days is just gonna be flagged, and then the ejection is just ludicrous.

It was a blatant penalty. He launched his shoulder into the WR's head. It's the exact thing the NFL is trying to get out of the league.

Maybe the ref could have added "by rule" when he ejected him, but yeah, it is what it is.

It was a shoulder shot to the head. It doesn't have to be intentional and no one is claiming it was a dirty play. They look at the result, not the intent so much. It was a head shot on a defenseless receiver. And by rule, that causes an ejection.

Its a safety thing.

Hines only goat.
Huge disappointment so far. Expected more.

i can't call him a goat

when they run him into an unblocked linebacker with no help twice, what's he supposed to do? fly?

I was thinking about him and Marlowe, so far we wasted a couple draft picks. I’m hoping the are saving some “Hines Special” plays for the playoffs?

Re: Balls and Goats

Hurdle.

there was nowhere to hurdle to or run in those situations if i recall correctly
they were poor playcalls

Re: Balls and Goats

I rewatched the game this morning, I’m going to give another goat to all the drops. Didn’t hurt us last night but it could have and will hurt us at sone point. Poor concentration.

Re: Balls and Goats

A sweet and needed divisional victory, balls to everybody.

I won't give them a goat, but deserve a bad play mention:

Hamlin game today was a bit off.
Davis hands so so.
Knox poor blocking at times, awful drop.
Quasimodo (games before and after the injury), Saffold and Brown too slow on pass protection

Agreed they were bad playcalls.

Take away his goat and give it to the Ref who took Poyers INT away. 2nd time this year the Bills had Ints (Edmunds Jets) taken away.

Flip side is that they're finally using Cook, who is basically a younger Hines. I think Hines is insurance for the most part.

And a returner.

Re: Balls and Goats

Watching the replay of the game again.

That 1st series was telling 3rd and inches and they fumbled.

They did recover but ...........
