I got stuck with browns/broncos and raider chiefs. How controversial was the reffing in this game? Or was it your usual “team with lots of wins always gets ref help”?
The latter for sure. The Bills were up deep into the 4th and choked. That's all that happened. The penalties that are being complained about happened earlier in the game. Buffalo benefits from a non-call on their last TD of the game when an online man (think it was the vent, maybe right guard) was 4 yards different blocking at the goal line. But no one's bringing that up.
It's overblown noise like most ref complaints.
The problem is penalties absolutely neutered a historically awful first half form the Eagles which kept the game way closer than it should've been.
Good teams overcome penalties. That's what makes them good teams.
The Bills were up late in the 4th and choked. That's all there is to it. They had every opportunity to score more points (while still leading) with numerous drives unaffected by penalties but they didn't because they couldn't, not because their scores were being taken off the board by penalties. Those are the facts.
Bills got away with alot less penalties then they should've got. Set the record for 1st quarter penalties this season with some of the most braindead penalties I've ever seen. Eagles were in their head. They were jumping offsides and tackling before the ball was even snapped. A face mask off the ball in punt protect. And a DT that should've been ejected but instead was allowed to commit 7 dirty plays.
I like the eagles and even I gotta admit it was some of the worst officiating I’ve ever seen
Josh Allen was penalized on this play.
The eagles fans in the sub will have you think it wasn’t an issue because they got the calls all year. Of course missed calls both ways and at the end of the day the bills lost that game themselves. But if their franchise QB was penalized on a play he was blatantly horse collared on, they would be upset to. According to the all 22, they feel vindicated so good for them.
I'm gonna get downvoted by angry Philly cheese steak people but it was an absolute shit show. Pretty much WWE. It was so bad dolphins fans our division rivals were calling out the bad Reffing. That officiating crew is statistically biased towards the eagles and somehow the league doesn't see an issue with this.
It wasn't especially. As usual calls were missed on both sides.
Can't stand the Bills but they got shafted all game. Eagles were constantly false starting (especially Lane Johnson), Allen was flagged for getting horse collared somehow, Eagles O Line getting away with some very massive holds, and more. Definitely was a suspicious game.
Homie, Lane Johnson did not play. He was out with a groin.
Another example where people don't know the rules for tackles. Every game.
Not calling holds is multiple times a time for both teams in every game. Carter gets held constantly.
Allen was flagged for getting horse collared? Again I assume you don't know the rules. He was drafted down by the front. Not a horse collar. The brief hold on the back was not how he was brought down. It was a sack and while well in the grasp Allen threw the ball away and it was grounding.
Very suspicious. 🤪
The second thing you said.
