and understanding when to bring the noise. When a play ends, you can hear a pindrop. When the Bills offense begins to lineup, it is louder than hell. Cameras pan around to the fans and entire sections are standing. It's as if those that attend the game expect to stand and cheer for their team.
Buffalo looks good so far - just had a 10 min TD drive

Does @Seahawks stadium do something to officials brains. #failmary
Shocking that Jeff Tripllette wasn't somehow involved in that
clusterfuck. How on Earth could there not be a personal foul? How on Earth does the clock not get reset with the official standing over the ball until their are 3 seconds on the play clock?
If Seattle tries a FG, does Ryan send someone after their kicker to dive at the knees like Sherman did? After all, it's only a 5 yard penalty with this crew!
RE: Part of me wonders if these continued f*ck ups aren't good
As long as you're offsides. Then after a 5 yard penalty is enforced you won't be able to get set because the ref will stand over the ball till there's 5 seconds left on the play clock
As much time as Blandino spent defending the horseshit fumble
The officials are just overwhelmed by that place. There can be no other explanation. You could not make this shit up. These are paid officials that shouldn't be allow on another NFL field for the rest of the year. And at the end of the day nothing changes.
lane physically hitting the ball away to start the whole thing?
I don't think that is taunting. Not sure what you call it. If he swats the ball away and it rolls down the field then that can be delay of game.
However, it doesn't matter what Lane did. Fucking cave man of a WR with a pea brain sticks the ball in his face afterwards. You cannot justify that just because someone swatted at the ball.
hanging on by a thread in a fantasy matchup hoping Doug Baldwin doesn't get 5 more points in a PPR league? Thats me. I have Promise to offset him, but that's not working out so well.
At this point, and in this modern day NFL, you can't even compare anything you see on one play to what's actually been called in the past on another play. Consistency by definition, is one thing these NFL officials are not.
Gruden doesn't bother me as much (Lord help me) as the officiating does. Just knowing this game should be headed into OT after a chipshot FG really pisses me off.
Sherman-"Im not gonna let him make a kick. When they called offsides I'm not gonna let him have a free play. That's not how I play. They didn't blow the whistle so I played til he whistle was blown"
Lisa Salters- They seem to think it as a dirty play, was it?
Sherman- "I went straight for the ball. I didn't go for the kicker. He should have not kicked it. Maybe he wanted to"
The Bills receiver wide right was knocked down in the end zone. I don't understand how the official didn't throw the flag as he was standing about 10 yards away. It's just unbelievable how the officiating is horrible in every game.
RE: It just dawned on me that Gruden will be calling the Giants game

Second to last play the WR in the left corner of the end zone was basically mugged before the ball was thrown with no flag.
It's like the NFL isn't even trying to reasonably officiate these games.
I'm basically fuming since the officials basically took an even game from him. The NFL talks about player safety and then allows that play to happen - which Blundino admits was a 15-yard penalty. Sherman creamed the WR on the last play too. Completely out of the play.
Seattle gets away with a lot of stuff because they play on the West Coast and officials are intimidated by their stadium.
outside of the Giants, the Bills have the strangest calls.
We all saw the fuckups at the end of the half, but there is an underlying issue that happens regularly in games - fucking up the play clock.
The Giants got two delay of games earlier in the year because of the same exact thing where the refs didn't reset the play clock and basically caused the delay by not spotting the ball timely. That should not only be reviewed, but the flag should never get assessed. It happened this week in the Colts game where Luck had to use a timeout because the play clock wasn't right. Happened to SD last week.
I'm not a fan of Rex ryan, but if somebody is going to take a bullet to put the spotlight on the refs, he's the perfect guy. Meanwhile Carroll gets interviewed going into the half and says to the reporter that it definitely wasn't a personal foul.
Probably one of the worst calls I've seen in the league in some time, and with the way refs have fucked things sideways this year - that says a lot.

Not just general ineptness but the inconsistency again - Woods gets called for a minor taunting penalty, while Sherman taunts the opposition coach and bench and gets nothing.
was physically tossing the ball at the player. woods was called for signalling for a first down towards the opposing player while Sherman pretty much stared down the entire Bills sideline.
What Woods was called for any player signalling first down could probably get called for, and Cam Newton would get a few a game.
once he realized that the K had to come off for a play, he should have realized that he fucked up and made things right. Even Gerry Austin said that an injury caused by a penalty would keep the player from coming off. They should've ruled, even if it wasn't a personal foul by whatever shitty logic they used, that since Sherman caused the injury and was the guy who was penalized, the K gets to stay on the field.
I'm still stuck on the clock issue. The ball is spiked, the kicker comes on the field and the refs don't let the Bills get set to snap the ball until 3 on the play clock. How is that not correctable?
1) It is interesting watching a game where the RB's are do freaking fast and they have open space to work in (or sometimes they actually create the open space)
2) I have always liked Russell Wilson and last night was a reminder of just how good this kid is. If I was starting a team with anyone (outside of Eli) he would be my QB. Smart, tough, good person and just an incredibly athletic guy who throws a nice ball.

The clock really gets me as well. There's an entire officiating crew - not one of these fucking idiots realizes that the clock is running and they haven't placed the ball yet, or that when they do place the ball they're down to 4 seconds?
Doesn't one of them have the responsibility of looking over at the damn play clock, or do they expect it to run on autopilot?
and even if they didn't realize it until it was too late
but I am still clueless as to how Sherman is not called for the PF and ejected, because it was quite clear he went at Carpenter's leg (he's lucky he didn't incur a fracture).
Sherman called for the offsides? Whenever the whistle was blown or not, why is that not, at the very least, a dead ball foul for unsportsman's like conduct?
I did not hear hear a persuasive rationale, but also turned the game off during Q3.
was actually called for a PF for the same situation where they blew a play dead and he blasted the QB.
LT was called for one in a critical game vs. the Redskins.
I have no clue how the refs watched that play and didn't see a reason to throw the flag, and then went on to fuck up taking the K off for a play and the play clock on the FG. They screwed like 3-4 things up.
Holy shit! First time in NFL history that's happened! Plocked bunt. Wow.
Looks like they are coping just fine.
What a fuck up league this is. Disgraceful.
The NFL fucking blows people. Worst sport in America right now.
Want to get out of Seattle alive?
Hey, I've seen better officiating in the WWE. Bring back the scubs!

You'd think, but I honestly believe the people that run this league are clueless. As long as they make the money, they think all is well.
you're telling me! I just need 4 points from C. Michael
Good job officials. I actually hope rex explodes in his presser.
Quote:
very odd how much they are throwing.
you're telling me! I just need 4 points from C. Michael
It's just strange, 2-1 ratio in a game that they need to shorten since their D is letting up a lot of plays.
I don't think that is taunting. Not sure what you call it. If he swats the ball away and it rolls down the field then that can be delay of game.
However, it doesn't matter what Lane did. Fucking cave man of a WR with a pea brain sticks the ball in his face afterwards. You cannot justify that just because someone swatted at the ball.
- Chucky Gruden
At this point, and in this modern day NFL, you can't even compare anything you see on one play to what's actually been called in the past on another play. Consistency by definition, is one thing these NFL officials are not.
He's on the Seahawks? Shows how much I'm paying attention
That sounds like a challenge. A challenge Moore just might be able to meet.
proof Jerry Reese is racist
Stfu Gruden.
Gruden doesn't bother me as much (Lord help me) as the officiating does. Just knowing this game should be headed into OT after a chipshot FG really pisses me off.
Blade o grass sack.
Lisa Salters- They seem to think it as a dirty play, was it?
Sherman- "I went straight for the ball. I didn't go for the kicker. He should have not kicked it. Maybe he wanted to"
C'mon, look at the bright side. For guys like John Jerry and Larry Donnell, finally a chance for the lovin' they're never going to get around here.
Second to last play the WR in the left corner of the end zone was basically mugged before the ball was thrown with no flag.

So if you're ever offside on a field-goal attempt, just murder the kicker, I guess.

Strategically, it's worth it. Just jump offsides, take the kicker out which decreases the odds on another player making the field goal.
