1 Play That Severely Effectected The Outcome

[Butterfrog 2.0]

I know it should not have really mattered THAT much, and Miami played poorly for a good majority of the game, but........ That one sack on Losman in the first half where it was CLEARLY a fumble and the refs blew the whistle really screwed Miami IMO. I mean come on........ Losman's arm was all the way down by his hip and his palm was facing up so HOW THE HELL could that be anything but a fumble??? And the bad thing is that the ref was Right There, literally a foot or two away from the play and was looking right at it the whole time, and he blows his whistle as soon as the ball came out. Again I'm not blaming the whole game on that horribly missed call by the refs but it "could" have changed the entire outcome of the game, and it WAS one of the worse calls/missed calls I've ever seen.

Oh, and BTW........ before someone corrects me on spelling, YES I KNOW I mispelled "Effected" in the title, but you can't go back and edit the title of a post......Thank You!!!

Well they said he was in the grasp and not going anywhere, which is true so it was the right call, even though it would have been a fumble if he wasnt a QB

What the wrong call is though is how much we baby QB's, you cant hit their legs, you cant hit their head....you cant throw them to the turf when in the grasp...what the hell can you do to them

If it was a fumble it may have affected the game....but the two closest guys were Losman and Peters, both Bills.... Peters was hovering over the ball when the whistle blew.....more than likely the Bills recover and punt, just from 8 yards further.

No freakin way man. He wasn't in the grasp for more than a half a second. Even if this was the supposed call it was still horrible!!! Oh, and it is also BS because they didn't blow the whistle until AFTER the ball came loose. If it was because his mometum was stopped or they were trying to protect the QB then the whislte would have blown before the fumble occured. I could have swore the announcers said they ruled it incomplete, and blew the whistle therefore the play stops and cannot be challenged

IDK About that........ There was a Dolphin or two running in that direction that would have had a chance to scoop it up, and maybe even run with it.
