When the Bill's took their extended break on the field from exhaustion and not losing a timeout ? In the end it doesn't matter but something like that can change the whole complexion of the game if it happens at a different time. I think Trent Greene even mentioned about the lack of timeout not being called.
 
If it is outside the 2 minute warning it is just a referee timeout. The catch is the player needs to sit a down on the sidelines.

I think it was called correctly, at least it seemed A LOT of Buffalo players were walking off the field during the (heat) injury timeouts.

They should all leave the field immediately. If you have 4 guys gassed, get them out instead of giving the whole team a rest.
 
The injured players all have to come out for a play
 
The offensive lineman was injured. The trainers attended to him. He is required to sit out one play. All the others just took a break while they attended to him.
 
I don't know if they intended it that way, but if so, it was brilliant. Have him take one for the team.
 
They got away w some crap today. Knox collapses on the sideline for his hammy?

They stretched it today for sure

I hear what you are saying but they will always err on the side of safety. If the guy needs a moment (or a minute) to get to the sidelines they are going to give it to them.

For the most part I don't think there were too many shenanigans out there today. The guys were gassed and cramping as opposed to looking the to sidelines and then suddenly diving with a hammy.

Did the Bill's act a little? Maybe, I wouldn't put it past any team in the NFL, but the BS meter wasn't screaming in my ear either.

It was a tough day out there. I did some light yard work after the game in Central Florida and was sweating bullets.

It was a head injury. Only time clock stops on injury with a TO is inside 2 minutes.
