Sheesh! I just watched the game. The Bills gave them the game. That got the ball back with a tied game and 20 seconds and one time-out. Not an ideal situation, but they did have the chance to go down and score. Even a field goal would have won it. So that do they do? They kneel down and go into overtime. What???? I remember when, in the playoffs, the Chiefs got the ball back with only 13 seconds, and they went down the field and got the field goal they needed to send it to overtime. It was possible to win the game with those 20 seconds and 1 timeout.
Then, in overtime, they could have won the game with that pass to the endzone, but either the receiver screwed up and ran the wrong route or the QB threw a pass to the wrong route. One of those guys screwed up big time. Sheesh! That one pass wins the game.
The refs also missed an obvious horse collar tackle that would have extended the QB's drive. Instead, the refs called a bogus intentional grounding. It was a poorly thrown ball as he was being tackled, but it was in the direct of one of his receivers. That's enough to make it not grounding. And the horse collar tackle was blatant. I thought the new review system let a sky judge phone down to tell them they missed a penalty. If that system doesn't allow for that, it should. We all saw the horse collar tackle.
However, I mainly blame the bills. In a tight game like that, you need to take every chance you've got. Kneeling down with 20 seconds and one timeout is bogus hogwash. They could have won it right then and avoided overtime. Then, in overtime, that's not the place to screw up a route on a would-be winning TD pass. I'm so annoyed. It also makes me sick to my stomach to see Eagles fans celebrating.
