Phil Lesh Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 With about 2:45 left in the 4th Watson drops a pass on 1st and 10 on the Bills' 26 yard line. Nxt play Brady hit Welker going across the middle and gets tackled a yard short of the first. CLEARLY he's a yard short, Mike Tirico says "He's a yard short". The ball is spotted short of the first, another ref comes in, picks up the ball, moves it so it's a first and signals first down. WTF was that?! If I was the Blls' coach I'd be rasing hol hell in the post game press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Lesh Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 This should be in ATN not the Tailgate Isn't this an open forum for any non-Redskins discussion? A separate forum for links to published articles about the NFL (teams, players, news, etc) but unrelated to the Washington Redskins. I'm not posting links to articles about the NFL either.

Besides, that first down was irrelevant, as the Bills were in prevent. Brady was just throwing it at will underneath. They still would have gotten the first down. I don't see the issue. In fact, what you're complaining about is plain silly. Bottom line, McKelvin probably cost them the game. He takes a knee the game is likely over. At the very least, the Pats would have had to drive a long field with no timeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Lesh Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 The ball was spotted short of the line but another ref came in and moved the ball then signalled the first down. If that happened in a Skins game people here would be going ape-**** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 At least twice Adalius Thomas was called for bull**** penalties. The Patriots are lucky they were able to win that game, Gil Santos and Gino Capeletti both strongly questioned the Thomas roughing the passer calls.
