But why does it matter?
Because this board is going to be unreadable after we drop our 5th game in a row, which is going to happen on Sunday.
But why does it matter?
First if all how were we a home dog with them starting a back up qb..... Begged you to go Miami..... The Refs took 9 points off the board for Miami....... And that last play Martin was 3 yards out of bounds....... That is a good part of the reason the ratings are falling..... People arnt stupid.
Between this game, the Oakland game, and the game in London, the refs are either outright fixing games or are Point fixing for Vegas. It is blatant. Done with the NFL.
I couldn't even come onto the message board after watching us clearly get jobbed. Ya we're not the best team by a far stretch but to take points off the board like that on top of game-changing penalties lost us the game. At the very least, they should have had to score a TD to win. It was evident. I live in the Tampa area and my Buc friends just laughed when they took away a clear safety (clear as clear gets!!), a BS!!! PI penalty which took away 4 since we got the FG, and game changing plays. Yes we did get a lot of nice bounces last year but we're getting hosed this year at an alarming rate. As one of his early supporters, I will admit there's a Jay Cutler effect (So Obvious) that brings down the whole team. Matt Moore came in and our D did pretty damn good considering what they had to go against. Gase made a decision and it has failed. I'll give him a break because I truly think with Tannehill our team is just different in every sense of the word (Cutler must be hard to play with). If our team looks like this next year, yes it's time to blame Gase. Bucs fans should be pissed their 1st string Qb sucks, they barely won vs Cutler and the refs playing for them with their backup being 2-0. 6 more games of watching the bum and onto next season!!! Can't come soon enough!! PHINS UP!!
I can't believe us homers bought into the Cutler hype. I always thought he was an idiot, I specifically remember him throwing 4 picks to DeAngelo Hall in a game years ago and after the game he was all like, I'd throw it to him again if I could. But somehow when they put the aqua on, I anticipate great things no matter how bad their career have been, funny how that works. And of course the refs screwed us, but what else is new.
i don't think the game is rigged or fixed, but the refs are just plain bad... did the dolphins get an apology on the non safety call yet????

As I look back he was incorrect too, TB opened as a 3 point favorite, and 82% of the money was on Miami..... That line should have moved WAY more.
I know there's a saying that "if you listen to fans, sooner or later you will be sitting with them."
However, I frequent a bunch of fan sites and when it comes to consensus - or the 80% middle ground of opinion between the two 10% extremes, my observation is that popular fan consensus is usually right.
Chicago Bears fans who came onto the Fins newsgroup I was posting in when JJ abdicated and foisted Wannstedt on us as HC were correct when they predicted he'd do just enough to look like he doesn't completely suck. They were thrilled to be well rid of him and pitied us for what was to come. And if any HC underperformed given the caliber of talent he had to work with, it sure was Wanny!
When we signed Cutler, I audited several Bear forums. Yes, he did have his champions who thought that the team brought him down, but the overwhelming majority who saw every snap he took from center was either laughing at us or pitying us. At that point, yielding to Bears fans collective women, I became a realist hoping for a new iteration of Jay but expecting essentially and almost exactly what we got.
Long way of saying, he sucked then, sucks now and I've been a huge champion of Gase, but to me this kind of impugns his judgment going forward considering how bullish he was on Cutler.
Somebody explain to me how at the end of tonight’s Monday nighter when the clock starts on the referees whistle 4 seconds run off the play clock but the game clock doesn’t start til the snap?
