Seems to me a couple of years ago there was a really terrible PI call on a Hail Mary thrown by Bledsoe causing the Bledsoe-led team to win. Don't remember if it was as a Bill or Pat. Anyone?And yes, he got plowed into and there was no call made..........are you really surprised that it didn't get called? That stuff just doesn't happen for the Bills and until the calls start going the bills way we'll never see the playoffs....
Also, the very first series of the game the Bills drove down the field with McGahee tearing up the defense. They got down to first and goal at the 3 yard line. 2 of the 3 plays called were passes. The Bills settled for a FG. When you have a hot RB like that you give him the ball 3 times and trust him to get in.And either way at the end of the game, wind or no wind, I think the Bills should have attempted to FG. Lindell has been really good this season and was already 5 for 5 on the day with a 45 yarder.2nd last drive, the Bills had 3rd and 1 and they went to a shotgun formation. Ridiculous play call there, IMO. Great game, but the Bills let it get away from them with some big mistakes throughout and especially at the end.
i remember that. it was the pats vs bills. bledsoe throws a ball and they call an awwwwful pi penalty. on the next play bledsoe hits Coates for the game winner. it kept the Bills outta the playoffs. this was the same yr testeverde scored a td vs sea, but really didnt.i am not sure if there was pi or not on this play today. bills shoulda won regardless. the team is getting better though and once they get some run stoppers they will be a legit afc east contender.Seems to me a couple of years ago there was a really terrible PI call on a Hail Mary thrown by Bledsoe causing the Bledsoe-led team to win.

I thought the same thing on the first series.Also, the very first series of the game the Bills drove down the field with McGahee tearing up the defense.

Its not a national story that the bills are on the receiving end of a horrendous game changing call.And yes, he got plowed into and there was no call made..........are you really surprised that it didn't get called?

I'll admit he got plowed if you admit that the Bills WR completely pushed off for the catch at the end of the 1st half.Its not a national story that the bills are on the receiving end of a horrendous game changing call.And yes, he got plowed into and there was no call made..........are you really surprised that it didn't get called?

My brother's girlfriens'd brothers came straight from the game to the airport to Phoenix. Talked to them about it and they said the wind was so crazy there from minute to minute that any field goal try was a crapshoot. Doesn't mean they shouldn't have, but as die-hard Bills fans even they weren't second guessing the call. Losman's decision to loft it up instead of trying for the 5 yards though they had a different angle on.I know people said it was windy. But the kicker allready made one from that distance earlier in the game. I don't understand why you don't try for the win there by kicking a FG. Instead they went for a pass play and kind of left it in the refs hands hoping for a interference call. I don't like that decision at all.
I've yet to see a replay of that play, but I'll give you that its possible. That's not really my point though. The Bills have been awful for so long that they're completely irrelevant in the NFL landscape. Bills stories aren't really newsworthy to the rest of the league.If the Bills get screwed in a forest and nobody is there to see it did they really get screwed?Weapon of Mass Instruction said:I'll admit he got plowed if you admit that the Bills WR completely pushed off for the catch at the end of the 1st half.Joseph said:Its not a national story that the bills are on the receiving end of a horrendous game changing call.And yes, he got plowed into and there was no call made..........are you really surprised that it didn't get called?

NFLN tonight.I've yet to see a replay of that play, but I'll give you that its possible.
I remember that game. It wasn't awful; it was blatant pass interference where the receiver who had a good chance to catch the ball was pushed out of the way. Not a jump ball with incidental contact. The best part of that was watching the Bills players walk off the field before the extra point attempt and listening to Bills fans complain that they went for the 2-point conversion.i remember that. it was the pats vs bills. bledsoe throws a ball and they call an awwwwful pi penalty. on the next play bledsoe hits Coates for the game winner. it kept the Bills outta the playoffs. this was the same yr testeverde scored a td vs sea, but really didnt.i am not sure if there was pi or not on this play today. bills shoulda won regardless. the team is getting better though and once they get some run stoppers they will be a legit afc east contender.Seems to me a couple of years ago there was a really terrible PI call on a Hail Mary thrown by Bledsoe causing the Bledsoe-led team to win.

Funny comment from a Pats fan. I have a different recollection... even the commentators said there was no penalty "that they could see." It was such a bad call.I don't know about the Tenessee game, I didn't watch any football this past weekend. What a sucky weekend.I remember that game.
