The TD I saw on mute from pretty far away. It was damn close. I don't think they should've overturned it, but I also don't know why they overturned it. Did they say he didn't have possession when his back foot came down?

Some B.S. like that. But they also showed dual camera angles of the same frame in time and it showed possession with his feet in bounds.

Maybe the Bills would have still lost, but it's overwhelmingly clear to me and has been for a long time that the Patriots have the league in their back pocket.

This overturned call was like if you were in a footrace, and halfway through you were still neck-n-neck with your opponent, but then a race official punches you in the gut as you pass by. Are you going to shake it off and still run the best race you can and somehow win, or is your race finished? And, if you do manage to shake the punch off, are you going to still run as fast as you can knowing the next race official down the line is also getting ready to punch you in gut.

Funny how “happy holidays” was written in 1942. Must have been before the fake war on Xmas?? Let’s be inclusive. After all, that’s what Jeebuzz would have wanted...

And the fact that a lot of people who say it don't say it in place of "Merry Christmas", but they'll say it as "Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year", but that takes too much time, so they say "Happy Holidays."

The "war on Christmas" is almost as real as Santa Claus....

Yeah, well NORAD has Santa in Cabo, so maybe he's taking a quick vacation amidst the grind of giving presents to all the little wieners.

What do you have to say about THAT, mother(frank)er!?

I got nothing

when the Patriots are given a gift of a 44 yard pass interference call when the bills player didn't touch him


and a td reversed, with no explanation


and a first down when an angle shows it didn't clear the line


you can't overcome those things, bills need to play a near perfect game w/o breaks
flawless game if these things happen

I know the team folded once they got to 16 points, but god damn it all


what's the point in watching when they can just destroy the flow of the game with a few bullsh!t calls?

Not much. I've been considering it for a while, but yesterday was the last straw, I'm sure of it...I'm done. It's 2017 and the NFL still doesn't know what a catch is.

Should have known after the Beyoncé Black Panther half time show that things were going to take a turn for the worst.

That game just pissed me off to high heaven.
The NFL has no clue what they’re doing...in deciding to overturn a call made on the field there is a requirement of conclusive proof, PROOF...not conjecture.
There simply was no proof from the camera angles we saw, merely conjecture as they could not prove if his 2nd foot was down or up when he had possession.

It felt the same to me for the first down play as well, but honestly I was still so passed of that I didn’t really focus on it. The first replay is all I really saw, and my feeling was how do they know he was’t Down already when the player reached the ball put. Looked to me like they couldn’t have so the on-field call should have stood as well.

Oh well, same old same old.

But MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the buzzards

Well, that which follows the bolded part does in fact sound like something.
