Bills HC Sean McDermott had more to say well after the game ended via a pool report:
“That play is not even close. That's a catch all the way. I sat in my locker and I looked at it probably 20 times, and nobody can convince me that that ball is not caught and in possession of Buffalo. I just have no idea how the NFL handed it, in particular, the way that they did. I think the players and the fans deserve an explanation, you know?
Q: Did you read the pool report?
“Yeah, (Derek; Bills PR) sent it to me. I just got it. I wish I would have gotten it before my press conference.”
Q: Is there any recourse here for you? What can you do?
“Here's the deal, right? The fans deserve more. The players certainly deserve more. They deserve an explanation, and it's a shame that a game is decided on a call like that, and there is no time spent with the head official going underneath the hood or to the replay booth, right? To the monitor. I don't understand how that works. I don't understand how that could be the case when it's such a close play, so basically there is one person ruling on that play or, only New York ruling on that play? I don't agree with that. If that's the case, I don't agree with that -- that that is the best approach to decide a game like that.”
Q: You've always been cautious about commenting on officiating. Why do you feel in this situation that it is so important to share how you feel about it?
“Because I only speak up when there is a wrong. In this case, it happened to be to our team. We win with class and we lose with class in Buffalo. That's how we handle our business, but when I'm looking at the replay myself and I'm being objective and I'm saying, 'you can not convince me that that was not a catch, Buffalo possession, ball at the 20. You can't convince.' I'm speaking up because I feel strongly that that was a catch and that possession should have been ball belongs to Buffalo. I can't agree with their assessment of a change of possession or whatever the statement was. I can't agree with that. We're not just going to sit here and take it, is what I'm saying. We're not just going to sit here and take it. I'm pissed off about it, and I feel strongly as I've looked at it in review in my own locker that it's a catch, possession Buffalo, and that the process should have been (long pause) ... handled differently. I don't understand why the head official who is at the game does not get a chance to look at the same thing people in New York are ruling on. “
'I'm saying it because I'm standing up for Buffalo, dammit'! - Bills Coach Sean McDermott angry about how controversial interception was handled. Coach wanted a more thorough review. What do you think - catch or pick?
