Officials fail to see Bills defense had 12 men on the field during goal line play

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.

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?

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.
