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.
