Last night’s game involving the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles has sparked a heated debate. Reactions started coming with the spotlight on a controversial tackle on Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen. However, the referee’s decision not to penalize Reddick has drawn widespread criticism, including from Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports.

The tackle, executed by Reddick, was deemed dangerous by many, with critics arguing it could have resulted in a serious injury to Allen. Portnoy took to social media to voice his frustration along with many fans who felt aggrieved by the non-call, leading to an uproar.

Lack of referee’s action gets criticism from Dave Portnoy

The main point of contention is the referee’s decision not to penalize Reddick for his tackle on Allen. And that got Dave Portnoy raging in anger against the match referee. Critics argued that the tackle was dangerous and could have resulted in a serious injury to Allen. And to that what Dave called a ‘horrible‘ show of ethics from the referee. He quoted, “I bet the Bills big tonight. Refs were horrible. But bottom line is a high school team can complete the play to the end zone from the 25 that would have ended it. That’s it. Nobody else to blame.”

He also contended that the referee’s failure to penalize Reddick for his tackle is indicative of a larger problem with officiating in the NFL. Despite the outcry from fans and experts, the NFL has yet to take any action in response to the controversy.  However, no flag was thrown, leading to an uproar among NFL fans on social media.

The controversy centers around a horse-collar tackle on Josh Allen, the star quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. The incident occurred during a crucial game, against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Allen was visibly upset with the referees for not calling a penalty on the tackle.

The incident has led to calls for a review of the rules governing such tackles. However, the loss followed by the faulty tackle overshadowed Allen’s stellar performance.
