NFL Refs Admit Massive Mistake That Cost Bills in Playoffs
New York Post ^ | APRIL 10, 2021 | Ryan Dunleavy

So the NFL is just throwing fresh salt in an old wound by correcting a controversial penalty that cost the Bills a chance to beat the Texans in an AFC Wild Card game on Jan. 4, 2020. Turns out, it was a blown call.

In an officiating training video published to Twitter on Friday, NFL Senior VP of Officiating Training and Development Walt Anderson said Bills right tackle Cody Ford’s illegal block should not have been a penalty.

The Bills faced a third-and-9 in overtime when Ford was flagged for an illegal blindside block as quarterback Josh Allen scrambled for 4 yards. A no-call could’ve meant a game-winning 56-yard field-goal attempt, but the penalty was accepted and followed by an incomplete pass and punt. The Texans won the game on the next possession.

It took them 15 months? I'm surprised they would even say this. They usually don't admit to any game changing mistake.

The same ol’ which rules shall we enforce argument. By rule, it is a penalty. But, as with past games, the enforcement/non-enforcement seems to always benefit the team that will have a larger audience in the next game. Ask the Saints...

Here’s the followup that should result ;

What the Republicans should be doing is using the Georgia reform and doing this *REVIEW THOSE GEORGIA SENATE ELECTION RESULTS

Answer Biden’s stop order with this :

There were a series of fraudulent voting charges here. Were they enforced and corrected before this election took place ? If they weren’t is not a review called for ?

They were created with the introduction of Covid 19 which the Biden campaign thanks the CCP for doing; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts

If the Georgia Secretary of State is in charge of voting he has the responsibility of enforcing the state’s regulations as to who votes. And eliminate those from voter lists who don’t qualify.

Assign prosecutors to personally canvass and investigate. Check if military actually voted by asking them. Identify all voters by checking on legal age their residency and citizenship. If found they do not qualify charge Illegals including state visitors known as snowbirds also include any technical computer fraudulent Italian programming testimony when presenting to the court and get these election results tossed.

LINKED HERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING 90% of the military votes went for the Machurian candidate Joe Biden ?

It’s not the kneelers ok? It’s not the injustice. Think of what happened Nov. 3rd. By the time it gets figured out Kamala will be president-elect.

In professional rugby, they have a TMO—television match official, who not only is called upon to judge whether a try (touchdown) was scored, or whether or not foul play has occurred or if a player did or did not do something. The TMO can alert the on-field ref if he sees something, he doesn’t have to wait to be called. He can tell the ref, “you need to look at this”.

Rugby has one ref on the field, and one on each sideline for a total of three, while football has more than a half dozen. This is not to say that there are no mistakes in officiating in rugby, but I think the call in question would have been caught at the time.

All major sporting events are rigged. They usually just do a better job of hiding it.

Sorry. That was a bit of sarcasm. I really don’t care what they do.
