“He Should Be Banned”: Buffalo Bills Fans Furious With Referee Shawn Hochuli In Loss Against the New England Patriots

The Buffalo Bills were 4-0 entering the game on Sunday night against the New England Patriots. New England was 2-2 entering the game.

After the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Denver Broncos earlier in the day, Buffalo was the remaining undefeated team in the NFL. The Bills shockingly lost to the Patriots by a final score of 23-20. The story of the game wasn’t Buffalo losing to New England. It was referee Shawn Hochuli calling many penalties against Buffalo. This is not the first time in his officiating career he has done something outrageous like this.

Buffalo Bills Fans Furious With Referee Shawn Hochuli

There are a lot of Bills fans who don’t want to see Hochuli officiating a Bills game ever again. They know that he is going to be against Buffalo for whatever reason. This is what some Buffalo fans had to say about his horrendous officiating:

I’m not usually one to claim officiating bias against the Bills.

But the officiating in this game is biased against the Bills. And it consistently is when Shawn Hochuli calls our games.

He should be banned from officiating Bills games.

It took nearly 29 minutes of game time for the Patriots to be called for their first penalty. Meanwhile, the Bills have had 7 penalties accepted against them

Can’t over come Shawn Hochuli and NFL officiating. This will be another game where the Bills lost when his crew has officiated. His crew is blatantly biased against the Bills the stats show that.

Sadly for Bills fans, this may not be the last time they may be dealing with him this season. Hopefully Hochuli is not officiating a playoff game for Buffalo. He may cost them a chance at a Super Bowl if he does with his blatant bias against this football team for some reason.

Next week, the Bills will go on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. As for the Patriots, they will head back on the road against the New Orleans Saints.
