SUBJECT:
Bills getting hosed time and again by officials.
The New England game is well known, everyone agrees Bills should have won. Testaverde is given a TD when he shouldn't have been; Result is that Buffalo is buried much further down in the standings than they should have, forcing them to play on unfriendly turf. Playing in Buffalo is a huge advantage.
Against Miami, here are a few calls which hurt them - Donovan Greer called for pass interference, where the official threw the flag WAY late, Gabe Northern nicking a Marino pass, then tapping his helmet and being called with an absurd roughing the passer call (5 yards, auto. first down at the Bills' 4), of course Reed was in the end zone, then he's ejected and called for fifteen. He should have been ejected and penalized for what he did, granted, but he also should have been given a TD in the first place.
Meanwhile that good sport Jimmy Johnson throws a box of Flutie Flakes on the floor and has his players stomp on it after their victory. Never mind that Doug is trying (and succeeding) raising funds for a most worthy cause in sales of the cereal.
The Pack was also hosed big time. Rice obviously fumbled, and the Pack, not the Niners, should be advancing.
Instant replay - we need it NOW! |
