    The PI call in the end zone that negated the last interception?

    posted at 9/25/2011 8:12 PM EDT

    The replay showed Brown turned his head.  It was an uncatchable ball.....Does anyone else think that call was BS?  The game wasn't won or lost on one play.....but that made a huge difference.  It was the Pats fault for putting themselves in the postion.  That had a huge lead and blew the game......but that call stands out to me!

    Also, Fitzjerkoff was scrambling to his right out of the pocket as he threw it.  Aren't PI rules supposed to be off in that case?

    Doesn't matter what the rules say - that was going to be an defensive PI no matter what.  Place the ball at the 1 yard line put the Bills in position to score.

    PI rules still apply, but apparently holding calls do not.  i believe it was kyle love who was practically tackled by an offensive lineman that allowed fitzpatrick to roll out.  i agree the PI call was crap because 1 it was uncatchable (at least by the reciever) 2 the reciever initiated contact,  and 3 the defender had his head turned to the ball.  


    *edit*
    the rules that change when a QB rolls out are 1 no more illegal contact 2 no more grounding (as long as the ball goes past the line of scrimmage) and 3 QBs are considered runners and can be hit like everyone else

    He impeded the WR from going back to the ball.  So yes it was interference.

    tcal, he did impede the reciever, but after watching the replays from a few angles, do you think the reciever had any chance to get back to the ball?

    That drive had 2 penalty calls, both questionable , in both end zones.

    i agree with you, the pats had alot of chances to put the game away (or not play bad football to keep buffalo in it).  this one shouldnt have been close.  either way, it still sucks to see the nail in the coffin happen due to a few bad calls by the refs

    Typically that is true. But that game was handed over to the Bills on a few fluke picks on offense, and about five terribly blown plays on defense. That was one of them. No interference, and that is a change of possession. 

    A seven point swing in a 3 point game. Enough said.

    Did he really impede the receiver?  I watched it 5 times and it's pretty clear to me the receiver had Brown in a bear hug and Brown had his hands up trying to back away.  Just a BS call to me.

    I thought it was a good call.  Dumb play by Brown.

    I seen enough Football over the years flutie to know the Refs never take that (catchable ball) into consideration when calling PI penalties.  There was a lot about the game that bothers me but that call doesn't

    Would it have even mattered? 

    The Bills drove 95, 94, and 80 yards, one of those drives was 51 seconds.

    Our D is the laughingstock of the NFL...AGAIN.  I couldn't care less about one penalty flag, we're a disaster.

    Bingo. Nail on the head. Before those drives, NE was WAAAAY up in TOP. The defense just collapsed. It absolutely collapsed again.

    It was bogus.

    Brown had position and held it while keeping his arms out to the side.

    Was it pass interference?    Yes.
    Did it influence the play?      No.

    Call seemed bogus to me.  There was another one or two that seemed quite questioble as well.  I thought maybe that is why Bill was so ripping and got that penalty of a lost TI.  Which in itself was weird.  I'm not saying it was a conspiracy or intentional, but in a game of inches . . . .

    Then if illegal contact rules are off, why not PI?  The DB's can't cover and worry about the QB running...

    BUT...it was ONE play where the Pats were up by 7 and would have gotten the ball at the 20.  It was a HUGE bonehead call.

    Now that they have a good team and the fans are excited, I guess they will not be moving the Bills to Canada afterall.... nudge nudge wink wink.

    Umm, when Jauron was coaching them, they started 4-0 and finished 7-9. 

    I wouldn't rush to call Buffalo a "good team".

    I will say this . . . it is much better to lose early in the season than late.  Front-running is a good ego boost, but getting into the post season and winning then is what really matters.

    The other things are a) it was a loss by three points, b) on the road and c) to a team that is hot.  They probably will take it out on Oakland next week.
