Nope, so sorry slick, didnt mean to imply that at all.  I take any and every 
nasty shot at IR possible.  I've always hated it!

I meant was that if there were sooo many questionable plays/calls on a close 
game like this, a team could argue that any given play that may have been 
the turning point for a particular game could have been called the other 
way had IR been used.   

I dont want to diminish this win at all for the bills.  I like seeing the 
NY area teams win in general, especially when they are not at home.  And 
double especially since the fans had the balls to get together and buy that 
billboard.  (Now those are REAL fans.)  I know a lot of the bills fans 
thought it was a jinx, but think how your team felt when they saw the sign 
and KNEW that the fans were behind them!
