Sorry if Q....

The officials also refused to review what was an incomplete pass on the tying drive by Buffalo as well. I don't understand why Coaches cannot challenge under 2 mins.

classic pete Q

This was mentioned last Sunday.

Meh....:shrug:

I didn't see this anywhere until now.

I mean, it WAS a terrible job of officiating. Failing to see 12 men is inexcusable.

As for the huge catch that wasnt, that's supposed to fall on New York to review any questionable plays. How that huge of a play went unreviewed is pretty sad.

I mean if you guys can't review the plays properly under 2 minutes, coaches need the ability to stop play and challenge.

New York New Yorks for New York. ;)

See? Not rigged, the refs are just grossly incompetent and inconsistent!

Yeah the Vikings could have been pretty ****ed. That play was so big and the NY officials should have rang down to review it, because what is the downside of reviewing it?

Confirming the level of ineptess of the officiating crew I assume.

The whole point of the program is to make sure we get the calls right. If you're not going to do that, then the program is inherently useless and only fans the flames of the WWE obsessed "rigged" crowd.

If you still have a time out, you can call one and if the stoppage ends up triggering a review, you get your time out back.

Right?

I don't think Minnesota had a timeout left so they would not have been able to challenge anyway even without the two minute rule.

I agree they should have.

I know people are sensitive to any sort of rule change. But maybe the booth needs to be able to stop the game for 20 seconds or something while they decided whether a full review is needed or not.

:LOL: "officials" ONLY see what they want to see

Must be why the Vikings won. :spock:

Same reason the buff/browns game is moving. Only benefits the bills.

/S

The script changes constantly :thumb:

Oh I know, ironic to say it's someone else who only sees what they want to see when it's actually the rigiots story constantly changing or suddenly quiet when it doesn't go the "right" way. :shrug:

Buffalo may have to spend the week in Detroit.

Is that better or worse than Buffalo?

Ha Ha!! Great point!!

/**** ‘em!!

I would say the Vikes won despite a couple of bad calls/no calls.

This is the part that always bothers me. When a call goes against us it gets talked about for a while in the game thread. Sometimes even for months or longer. When we get a call it isn't acknowledged or is explained away as a makeup call or "finally we get one". We had a two point conversion in the colts game go our way that I bet Colts fans flipped out about. It's never mentioned on here when talking about getting/not getting calls. If the colts had gotten that call scoring a two point conversion it would still be cited to this day as a reason we lost. With that attitude it's not shocking that people always think things are unbalanced.

In this case there were 2 horribly unacceptable missed calls against the Vikings. I'm sure bills fans can tell you of missed calls against them in that game as well. Who we are rooting for affects our vision. In this game it's pretty easy to be pissed at the refs though if you are rooting for Minnesota. Those two calls simply can't be missed and even I would be citing the refs as a reason had they lost. Your point still stands though.

Once in a blue moon, calm down

Yeah, the bias is absurd.

And I've always said if the refs are supposed to have one team win, they're often really bad at it.

People will look at one or two bad plays and say "it's obviously rigged for them to win!", but..... if that doesn't happen, the refs were suddenly powerless to do anything about it? :shrug:

Take the Bills/Vikings game.... yeah, that pass on the sidelines absolutely should have been reviewed, and they obviously missed the 12 men on the field. So, if both of those things are on purpose, they clearly don't care how blatant they are with rigging stuff..... yet, no DPI in the Bills' favor in OT? No phantom penalty of Josh Allen's fumble? No phantom holding on the interception?

They could have made it SSSSOOOO much easier for the Bills to win that game in regulation if they were wanting to do so intentionally.
