What exactly was the call on the bill pass that hit the olineman?

This was a replay of the Chargers game.
 
We didn’t lose because of the refs but that was intentional grounding. It was moreso than Bridgeatwr’s grounding / safety. I’ve come to the conclusion the refs just aren’t very good at their jobs and every team gets hosed. Look at Minnesota’s scoop and score that didn’t count today. That was insanely bad of a call.
 
I'm not sure, but I think they got rid of the illegal touching situation, in terms of when the ball inadvertantly hits a lineman, a few seasons ago. It's still illegal if the lineman tries to catch the ball, but if the ball hits you in the back or leg I don't think that's illegal anymore. As for the intentional grounding, there was a rb in the backfield, but not sure how close he was to where the ball landed.

I'm still not 100% sold on the Bills 2 pt conversion not sure if it was clear enough that he broke the plane to overturn the call that was made on the field.
 
There was a RB in the area so it wasn’t grounding.

A pass can hit a lineman inadvertently, but an ineligible lineman cannot catch a pass.

Buffalo threw two incomplete passes following that play and punted the ball away.

I don’t think he broke the plain BEFORE the ball came loose. At least, I don’t think it was clear and should have been overturned. That said, they would have won anyway - by 1 point at the end.

The RB was all the way to the right….while the throw went left.

The RB wasn’t in the area. Unless the entire field is an “area.”

Totally agree. I don’t think it was CLEAR enough for an overturn.
