One rule for Tom and one for everyone else.

bfodor · Answer

Agree it the principle of how they call these games

TheDonkeyRancher · Answer

Some terrible reffing this year in general. Calls were blown pretty evenly this game I thought...which by today&#x2019;s standards is a good day. This game was over due to piss poor play calling and terrible QBs. 1rst and goal call for the bills...

I never yell "fix." But its so damn subjective. You can basically call whatever you like. Catch. No catch. Call stands. Over turned. It gives NFL and Al Riveron carte blanche to manipulate the outcome of the game. Does that happen? Who the f@ck knows. But it could. Plus its good for the NFL. The Jesse James "non" catch was the top story everywhere for days. Hell, we are still talking about it. NFL likes the gray area. No such thing as bad publicity.......

After seeing several TD passes being reversed, I cannot believe that INT stood.  The ball was moving and he used the ground to catch it.  Crazy.

&#xA;yeah that was clear beyond ALL doubt.  i couldn&#x27;t believe the play stands.&#xA;the only explanation was they remembered the outrage from the steelers jesse james catch.  but that incomplete call was upheld by every ref after the game

On one of them, they called it a fumble and gave the opposing team a touch back. (Not a Jets fan)
