32:30 is the slow-mo replay.

Also, look at 33:28 for the most conclusive and damning shot, it was a clear catch, fumble, recovered by Buffalo.

Dodson won us the game, but the officials screwed the Bills…again.

The bias that was shown in the officiating crossed the line from “Badly called game” to “This game is being fixed” territory long before that play- this play is just evidence.

Thank you. It was a fumble, and the refs ruled it incomplete so that it wouldn’t be reviewed. McDermott even called a fucking time out and a review still wasn’t done on the play…because as the replay shows…he caught the fucking ball over his head, and then the football move was him moving the ball to his body. This was a fucking fumble. Watch the slo-mo review that they broadcasted, it shows it perfectly.

No, they didn’t.

It was established a few weeks ago in a game we played(I believe it was a Jets receiver) who held the ball away from his body because the DB was reaching in from behind to try and pop it out. It was established on that play that possession of the ball can be obtained without securing the ball to the body.

In the replay of this play, you can clearly see that the receiver catches the ball perfectly in his hands(establishing possession), and brings it to his body under his control(making a literal football move). When it gets to his body, the ball was knocked out of his possession by the DB and recovered by Buffalo.

That was a catch, fumble, recovered by Buffalo. Game over.

How is it that the refs blew that play dead as an incomplete pass, but let the clearly incomplete pass go as a fumble to be overturned under review during the 4th quarter.

The refs didn’t want the play originally ruled as a fumble and reviewed, because it would have been confirmed as one, that’s why they blew it dead immediately as an incomplete pass rather than letting it play out- which they clearly should have under the NFL guidelines.

I agree with this completely, and regret that it’s been down voted by others.

McDermott changed the culture in this Organization and made us a destination that Elite athletes want to come to. That has earned him a bit of leeway in my book- not an infinite amount, but enough for another season at least. As long as he’s working on the problems that continue to stand between this team and its goal(winning the Super Bowl) I think we need to keep him around until the end of next year at least.

Right now, the biggest problem that needs to be addressed IS the offense. Frankly, Dorsey has no business running an offense in this league. Rather than using Josh Allen’s skillset and playing to his talents, they’ve been trying to pigeon-hole him into the role of a pocket passer.

In doing so, Dorsey’s been removing one of his biggest threats from the game- his mobility. When him functioning as the pocket passer they want fails, and the team gets behind in the score- then they start letting go of the reins and he starts making plays, but by then it’s often too late.

The next week, the offense start off with an unrestrained Josh Allen- he marches down the field and easily puts up points. And then on the next offensive possession, they start applying the brakes and his performance takes a hit, it’s borderline intolerable to watch it happen time and time again. If McDermott ISN’T deliberately telling Dorsey to do this, then Dorsey needs to be terminated for sabotaging the fucking team. If McDermott IS telling Dorsey to do this, then that good will and leeway I think McDermott’s earned ends at the end of this season- at least as far as I’m concerned.

We’ve trusted the process, “the process” has turned in to an evolution of the razorcakes meme.

Whatever reasons the staff comes up with for their poor performance and early exits in the playoffs at the end of the day are simply excuses.

Last season we were super bowl favorites, but the team fell apart against decent teams.

First it was 13 seconds against the Chiefs, then it was Hamlin causing the team to “fall apart”, then it was Frasier’s defense and that damn “bend don’t break” bullshit that good teams exploited every single time we played them. Then in the rematch against the Bengals in the playoffs they beat the fuck out of our team. A good team and a good coach would have rallied and won for Damar and chosen to let his brush with death motivate them instead of break their will, the Bills instead allowed it to consume them and were broken by it…using it as an excuse to let themselves off.

As it stands, the Jets are one game behind us, but they currently hold the head to head tiebreaker because we lost to them despite Rodgers going down on the 2nd play of the fucking game against us.

It seems like half of our Salary cap currently sits on IR- some of them potentially done for the season. Von Miller has not looked anything like he did before his injury. He might as well pull a Vontae Davis at this point because him being on the field in his current state is preventing more athletically talented players from being on the field at critical moments. He may or may not be capable of getting back to form, and we’re supposed to just “trust the process” on that happening to.

Meanwhile, our offense is woefully unperforming and incredibly unreliable and McDermott seems content to let Dorsey hamstring the stud QB we have in his prime because McDermott wants “complimentary” football and he lets his OC make excuses to the media about crowd noise as to why he’s not running a more up tempo offense.

If McDermott is going to stand behind Dorsey, then McDermott shares the blame. McDermott seems to be a defensive minded HC and he’s done an INCREDIBLE job managing the defense considering all the fucking injuries, but Defense is only half the battle and McDermott has seemingly ZERO interest in running an up-tempo office and playing to Josh Allen’s talents. Instead he’s trying to turn him in to a pocket passer.

Time and time again everyone talks about mobile QB’s getting injured in the league, but the unspoken part of that statistic is that most of the time those injuries happen when the Mobile QB’s are being forced to sit in the pocket and play the game in a style that’s against their natural instincts.
