Garbage DPI call leads to Pitt TD instead of Buffalo ball.

I get that if you don't turn your head then typically it gets called, but the receiver didn't have to come back for the ball, the defender is entitled to their space too no?

Disagree. It was a face guard the whole way

Yea that call against Tre changed the game even if the players overall didn’t show up today.

Put that super bowl talk on hold..

He’s talking about the play against Tre I think. Otherwise he’s wrong because Levi’s play was DPI for sure.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I can't believe Daboll, we left 6 possible points out there while in FG range, then went for it with one of the worst play calls I've ever seen. Couple that with the execution being abysmal and this is what we've got.

This team isn’t good enough.

The Coaching has been horrendous today and JA regressed badly.

No, I'm talking about Levi.  I don't like that call at all.  He had every right to be in that spot.

Didn't that drive lead to a fg? Or did I miss another dpi on tre?

Don't use the 'r' word about Allen if you're posting on our sister board.  They couldn't fathom the possibility he might regress this season.

It was a face guard. You can not like it all you want but it has been called that way for years. Like the commentator said all he had to do was turn his head to avoid the call

If all you need to do is turn your head for a call not to be PI, and literally change nothing else, then it shouldn't be a PI to begin with.

The rules committee disagrees.

Okay, show me the rulebook where that's a PI then.

The past like 20 years of games shows it as such

No, it really hasn't.  That's almost never called.  And people complain when that kind of play is called.

ARTICLE 2. PROHIBITED ACTS BY BOTH TEAMS WHILE THE BALL IS IN THE AIR. Acts that are pass interference include,
but are not limited to:
(a) Contact by a player who is not playing the ball that restricts the opponent’s opportunity to make the catch;
(b) Playing through the back of an opponent in an attempt to make a play on the ball;
(c) Grabbing an opponent’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass;
(d) Extending an arm across the body of an opponent, thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, and regardless of whether the
player committing such act is playing the ball;
(e) Cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball;
(f) Hooking an opponent in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the opponent’s body to turn prior to the
ball arriving; or
(g) Initiating contact with an opponent by shoving or pushing off, thus creating separation.

 

The absolute best argument you can make is by playing on the vague 2a by saying that Levi wasn't playing the ball (i.e. didn't look back) and restricted the opportunity to catch.  I mean, anyone defending the ball is trying to restricting the opponent's opportunity to catch, so that's a horribly worded sentence.

It is called all the time. It literally called face guarding

2e clearly was the call

Uh, Levi didn't cut off the path.  That's an even worse call, if that's what it went down as.  Oof.

[Gatorman0519]

Too much hype. This team is going to have to scratch n claw to make the playoffs. If JA has regressed we are in bigger trouble. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

I think the worst part of this loss, is that our resident bills basher will sit down for his feast of I told you so's

He did cut off the path. The WR was coming back to catch the ball and Levi ran into him. Offenses coach recievers to get that contact for that exact call and corners are coached to look back at that ball for that reason.
