Also looks like they got the timing of the IW wrong. Should have been a do-over since the whistle blew well before the pass was caught, I agree with Gerry Austin's take.

Yuh-oh. IW in New England. Possibly Arthur. He's probably having the worst year of anyone. The long injury now this.

Steratore's crew didn't let Buffalo's defence substitute after New England substituted. This leads to a New England touchdown.

Another awful MNF game officiated. Ed walker was awful. First calling an incompletion when it was clearly a catch. Then not calling the receiver on the last play out of bounds. Why has the officiating been so pathetic on MNF all season long? ?

Not sure why the clock didn't stop on that last play. The receiver clearly took himself out of bounds untouched by a defender.

Ed Walker had a very bad night. I'd grade him a 1.
Brain fart on the IW by Arthur.
Steratore, Weatherford and Paganelli tried to keep the game on the tracks, but it was a very rough night.

Jim Daopoulos @refereejimd 2m2 minutes ago
If a player is trying to get out of bounds and goes sideways., backwards or forward at that point in game....you stop the clock!

Once again, the replay official or Blandino should have intervened on the last play. I don't give a doggone what the rules say about replay. The replay official is technically a member of the crew and Blandino is monitoring the game from 345 Park. When you have the ability to right a wrong, you do it. Period. End of discussion. In the last 10 minutes of a game, forget this coach's challenge garbage. You see something, you say something. I just don't see why the NFL refuses to join the 21st century when we all see what's going on. I can understand coach's challenges up to a point as you don't want 4 hour games. But mistakes made early in a game can be overcome. I don't care if the final score of an NFL game is 7-0 and the only td of the game comes on a bogus dpi call in the second quarter. The other team still has plenty of time to rectify it. Make the same mistake with 2 minutes to go, and it is another story. There's too much at stake in these games no to be able to correct obvious mistakes and I am sure the officials themselves would prefer to be corrected on the spot then to read about it the next day. The IW, unfortunately it happens but again it happened early so it was not a deciding factor in the game. But not stopping the clock to give Buffalo one more chane which according to the rules they eere entitled to makes no sense.
BTW...on the Buffalo 2nd touchdown they did the right thing. When not sure, call it a touchdown because it is automatically reviewed and then Buffalo in this case doesn't have to use a challenge (or in this case of course, it would have probably not been challenged. Rex learned the stupidithy of challenging a td or no td when his team would have a first down on the one a few years ago when he coached the Jets and did that, lost a time out and ultimately needed that time out but didn't have it).
Finally Steratore is one of their favorites and despite the sloppy administration of the game, he will not be downgraded on his performance although other members of the crew certainly will (how about the ridiculous spot of the ball on the first down play of Buffalo's last possession necessitating a review in the last 2 minutes. That they caught and corrected; something they can easily do if they care on so many other plays that can decide games.

I was surprised they stopped the clock at 1:09, shortly before the final play. I thought Buffalo #25 ran sideways to avoid defenders and gave himself up by running out of bounds. The clock should have kept rolling.
The problem with the final play is Tirico has no clue and shouldn't speak to rules when he has no clue.
All things considered, I thought Steratore and crew made the best of the awful IW. Frankly, do overs should never exist (except on offsetting penalties), the one in the Pittsburgh @ Indianapolis, January 15, 2006 Divisional Game was bad; Morelli's house got vandalized after that game.

Tirico is actually one of the only announcers in all of sports who has a pretty good grasp of the rules and was right that there should have been time on the clock for a last play
