I remember a long run that lead to score early in the game that our Corner was blatantly held by the receiver that allowed the runner to gain like 10 more yards.

Yep PP was held IIRC

Feely missing the game winner. The entire team executed flawlessly to get him that shot at the buzzer. Sure he made the impossible kick but that was a chip shot. He lost concentration, that's his job. He comes in for about 10 plays a game. Because of the miss the Bills had all the momentum going into OT.

I'm pretty sure he was expecting Galey to call a time out but that's no excuse. When you play 2 or 3 really meaningful plays a game you need to have your head straight for every one of them.

One of their DL's tipped it, Whiz said so. Said the protection was good but the guy made a great play and just barely touched it. Said he was jumping up and down becaues he got just enough of it to make it curve left. you can see the spin on the ball is consistent with a tipped kick.

I didn't want to be the guy who comes in here complaining about the officiating, but luckily you guys have already pointed out all the plays that I was pissed about :)

What was even worse to me... the Bills have very few penalties called on them. From what I remember, they only had a block in the back on a punt return & a personal foul after a play was over & then a CB got called for a hold with 46 seconds left in the 4th. They basically played the entire regulation without being called for a single penalty on offense or defense... there's holding on every play in the NFL (Cards got called for it 5 times) so how do the Bills not get called for even blatant ones (on Groves) that set up the go ahead touchdown?

There was also a late hit out of bounds that wasn't called.


Edit: The Bills were called for a false start on a punt in the 3rd qtr but they were punting from mid-field so it gave them more field to work with. Bills had no penalties in the 1st half. Only called for 4 penalties in regulation.

I had the 49ers game on the same time as us. There was a play in that game that was comical a run by Gore where the only reason the hole opened is the C tackled the DL. no call, the DL went nuts, Coughlin went nuts. 2 plays later they called the C for holding on a complete BS call, and then Harbaugh went nuts.

It was hilarious to watch but I kind of like that the ref clearly realized we missed the hold, we gave it back to you 2 plays later.

We did get a VERY generous spot on one play that got us a key first down.

on Acho? YES! I knew there was another awful call I was forgetting. He didn't touch the WR. The bitch analysts were going on about how you have to play the ball, but if you make NO contact, it's irrelevant

y'all are wrong here. i too thought it wasn't PI, but upon replay you see that acho does touch the receiver in the chest with his left hand prior to the ball arriving and never turns to make a play on the ball. that's PI. all he had to do was turn his head. that's all he had to do. it was a big play too, if i recall, 3rd and long.

and the spike is absolutely a delay of game penalty. just undisciplined. can't be bad and undisciplined and that's what our offense is.

Want to bring up again the holding call on Roberts that moved the Cards from 2nd and 11 from the Cards 12 to 2-17 from the 6. Kolb was sacked for a safety on the next play,Buffalo returns the free kick 33 yards to the Cards 49 and scores a TD on the ensuing drive.

9 points for Buffalo.
