NFL Week 6 -- This Seat is for Sale(h)

Both of them.

 

This might be the worst officiated game in NFL history. There is no way that was PI.

This crew is absolutely terrible.

 

Holy crap that interception. What a play. And the INT proves the ball don’t lie on that BS pass interference call again Buffalo a few plays earlier.

 

Maybe Woody Johnson should fire this shitty coach. I hear Robert Saleh is available.

 

This doesn’t make sense. They want to ensure they get a chance.

 

Those guys weren't real NFL refs. The guys tonight supposedly were.

I remember that play. Tate just shoved a DB out of the way to catch the ball, no call.

 

Wasn’t even that. MD Jennings caught the ball, cradled into his body, Tate placed a grip on it afterwards, ref gave Seattle the TD.

 

It did settle the strike, though!

 

What didn't make sense is why they'd want one.
The most logical scenario was that they hold Buffalo to a field goal and get the ball back with about 20 seconds left and no timeouts, having to go at least 50 yards to get their own field goal attempt. At which point the likely play is to take a knee and avoid disaster, so why not let a slightly discombobulated Buffalo play it out and see if you can get them to make a mistake that costs them points (like they almost did with the fumble)? And if you wanted to try and take a shot, why not save your timeouts and make Buffalo use theirs? They had all three and were going to have to use them anyway. Then you still have 20 seconds and your timeouts to work with if you want to take a shot.
Obviously, the best case scenario was what happened, and it certainly worked out for them. So what do I know? That's a very low percentage situation, though.

 

Because you will have no time left. Buffalo doesn’t want to leave you time. This happens multiple times a week.
