New England at Buffalo (1 Viewer)

Bills can’t win today if they’re constantly having to convert on third and long.  And I consider anything more than 2 yards long for this offense.

 
How was that not intentional grounding?

In the pocket, under pressure, not to the LOS, and no receiver in the area. Textbook.

I guess you can't challenge for grounding specifically but they do review the whole play so Sean was hoping they would call that off the replay?

I don t think refs can call a penalty off a challenge. It was a bad challenge. But Romo is wrong IMO and that was definitely grounding. 

 
That 2nd down play was one of those plays where the ball needed to find its way into a Bills hands for them to win today.

 
Should've gone for it.  Don't settle for FGs against New England.  That's why you've beaten them 4 times in like 15 years.

 
Amazingly the Bills are getting pretty decent pressure with 4. Usually they don't get that on Brady and he picks them apart.

Does anyone know this rule for sure? I'm pretty sure you're right, but I'm pretty sure back when the coach's challenge was first put in the refs could call a penalty on a review if they saw one that wasn't called. I've never seen it happen, so I'm guessing that stipulation was removed, but kind of curious if it's one of those things like the "tuck rule" that could surface some day.

I disagree that the pass was in the direction of a receiver, but they say grounding can't be called on a review.

I believe the only penalties you can ask to be reviewed that were not called initially would be too many men on the field, receiver stepping out of bounds before catching ball, and QB crossing line of scrimmage on a pass.

I'm not talking about challenging a for/against a penalty. What I was referring to was a rule where the challenge could be for a catch, or the spot of the ball or something, and if the ref saw a holding on the replay they could call it. I'm pretty sure that was possible back when the challenge was first instituted, but not sure if/when they got rid of it...

I could be wrong, too, hence the speculation, but pretty sure that was the case. 

 
No idea how the refs gave the Pats a first down and further, didn't signal that they had given the Pats the first on such a close one. Crazy.

 
That's the difference between Bills and Patriots... Dropped INT for a TD... That usually doesn't happen to the Pats.

Peterman in...

Great pass, drop. Why? Because Bills.
