They should have taken the safety and kicked

Nah. That only leaves you up two with too much time on the clock. We're seeing it play out right now before our eyes how much time 45 seconds are.

Yeah no one is doing that (safety/kick) with that much time left. Hindsight only reason anyone would even think that.

It'd be like saying the Vikings should have went for 2 to go up 4 because Buffalo ran down the field for a FG in 40-some odd seconds left.

The league is going to have to change the rules again, you can't have a team hurry up and snap it before the booth takes a look at the play in the final 2 minutes. No way that Gabriel Davis catch shoul dhave been allowed.

No? What's the solution? Prevent the offense from running a play, just because we might need to review a play?
 
I'm not even sure that was legit DPI, but I haven't watch the 2nd half so I don't know if the refs have been calling it tight or loose.
 
Game of the year.

Not reviewing that Davis "catch" was terrible, but great job by Allen and the Bills to bounce back after the disaster at their own 1.

I don’t know but watching it was clearly close enough to stop and review.
 
We hold players, coaches, managers, medical officials accountable, but officials have a clear open to screw up important games and nothing is ever done.

Time to hold officials accountable and fire them for these screwups.

Getting better equipment to replay it faster? In the NBA the rule is to retroactively review and assess made/missed 3's, but you can't do that in the NFL. The only option is to review EVERYTHING and have a spotter flag "hey he need to look at that"... which is what I thought they already had. The ramifications if the Bills win this are too big, they got to get that fixed.

There's no way they can claim "hey, he checked it and it's a catch". They just didn't have time or were late... which in the final 2 minutes is their job :lmao:

Replay in general in the NFL has always been a ****show.

I liked it when each coach had 2 challenges a half. And that was it. Period...end of story. Now? It’s all over the place and they cannot even get the last 2 minutes right because they got gamed by the offense running up to the one and snapping it.

Again....it’s a ****show. Fix it or get rid of it.

There's no good way to handle it. If they stopped it with a running click under 2 mins they have to put a 10 second runoff if the call stands, so I'm sure they worried about that. If they take the 10-second runoff rule away then everyone gets ticked off the next time a team benefits from replay stopping the clock. If they leave the 10 second runoff then everyone gets ticked off when the runoff hurts someone.

Review everything? **** that.

Get rid of it. We lived without it for 50 years......just get rid of it and get these officials better.....they lean on it so much that is why the officiating is as bad as I have ever seen in my life.

He went out of bounds, so the clock had stopped, but I get what you mean in general.

I think this will definitely cause review of the process on how they do this in 2 mins. NFL wins in any case since this will be talked about all week by every sports show :lol:

Let coaches throw the flag?

Still amazing to me how coaches who control their teams can review all day, but in the most important time of the game, it's all up to a free clowns upstairs.

The funny thing? They've done that before and they supposedly made measures so they don't have to do that again! Now you see the tradeoff of NOT doing that. It's a tough situation for sure.
 
The Bills have been outed as not really supposed to be in this overtime because Gabe Davis caught it and New York should have overturned it
-Nice of the NFL to diminish the win no matter the outcome
