Any statments of the officiating Sunday?

How did the ref make tannehill make a horrendous decision to throw that INT down 20-17?

When your team just gave up 20 straight points, and the Refs have their signature all over that comeback, you think you as a QB will not force balls, or make bad reads in hope of trying to make a comeback?

It's pretty obvious you did not really watch the game, or just watched it with your Jets green glasses, but if those calls were made to your team, you would have been livid.

If it's only one or two ridiculous calls, and that are very obviously wrong, maybe, but WAY TOO MANY one sided call.

They knew what they were doing with that call, it is a judgment call, but VERY rarely will it be called, yet this time it's called, in a game where other horrible calls were made...IN Favor of the team that seems to always get ridiculous calls. They knew what they were doing.

Take off the tinfoil hat. The refs don't care whether or not New England wins that game.

 

[hoops]

how bout the quick whistle on the pats rb fumble where they marked forward progress down by contact...more bs...the whistle never blows that quickly in a pile...

of course we recover it they give it back to the pats they go quick on the next snap and gouge us...figures

It looked clear to me as I assume it did to the ref. I remember the announcers saying it before the call was made so it looked clear to them too.

The announcers disagreed. Simms said it was intentional, the other said it wasn't, and tried to persuade Simms for the next several minutes.

 

[DDTDON]

It sure looked intentional.

You're intentionally trying to cause ****!!! Go away!!!

As Goodell has shown with wanting an extended schedule, the hardship of more travel games to London, inconsistent and selective fines as they apply to marquis or less essential players with similar offenses, etc., when it comes to player well being he talks a good game but is full of ****. The refs if left to their own devices may not care, but again consistently, in a quest to maximize the almighty dollar through ad revenues, you better believe Sleazy Roger does and in turn the refs care about protecting their paychecks.

It looked to me like OV was trying to scoop the ball but missed sending the ball backwards.

I don't get the resulting automatic 1st down for New England but I guess that's the BS rule. Since the Pats recovered anyways this should have been a no call.

I will the moment you stop doing the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil impersonation.

Many horrible calls were made, they were all ridiculously one sided (Miami going for ball on defense, watching ball....Interference ------ Miami receiver going out for pass on offense, Pats defender does not look back, but waves arms up and down....no call), all the call conveniently happened each time Miami had a chance to take control of game.....but no, the Referees were not trying to decide the game. Yea, keep telling yourself that, seems to be working, your actually believing it.

Ridiculously off topic and trollish comment. I thought you were better than this.

Why would the refs try to help NE? What do they get out of it?

I believe it was Boomer Esiason, although I could be wrong, but one announcer said it was a good call, the other said it was a bad call. Even they were split.

Phils Sims said it was a good call Jim Natz said bad call. When people can't even get that right I wonder how much attention they were even paying to the game that day.

didn't look clear to me... I'm not going to pretend I can read someone's mind and judge their intent. If you're okay with pretending you know for a fact that he intentionally batted the ball backwards, good for you.

Dude was on the ground, his arms were stretched out as far as possible reaching for the ball, yet it was obvious he wasn't intending to recover the fumble? Yeah, okay.

So, anytime a defensive player tries to recover a fumble and the ball moves backwards one inch, its okay to throw a flag? I think we can all agree that the appropriate call on that play was a no call. Pats recovered the ball anyway; why you gotta give them the ball plus better field position, plus a first down?!?!

I don't know whether he consciously did it or not but I do know it looked like it.

why? b/c the pats lost a ton of yards b/c of the punch and that's the rule. I don't know if a team should get yards and a 1st down, maybe they should just give it to the fumbling team at the point of the punch? but for now the rule is yardage and a 1st down and it was the correct call.

When your team just gave up 20 straight points, and the Refs have their signature all over that comeback, you think you as a QB will not force balls, or make bad reads in hope of trying to make a comeback?

ohhh so it was the refs fault down only 3 w/ great FP that Ryan made an awful decision and throw. Got it.

I am sure I would have been annoyed, we get screwed all the time(every fanbase thinks they do) but they made the correct call and miami had a chance to win regardless.

How was that statement off topic? read the post I quoted.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few calls go our way this w/e

a. as a make up
b. a lot of $$$ in Vegas flowing to Cinci side

I think he was trying to corral the ball to himself.

One very good indicator of his intent was that the arm with which he would have pulled the ball to his chest to recover did, in fact, end up under him and across his chest. If his intent was only to bat the ball, why would his follow through end with his arm under his body? I think a more natural follow through for the arm in that case would be to prop himself to watch the result of the bat, keeping the hand on the turf and away from his body.

Once I saw that, I knew he did not bat it on purpose.

Thank you. I said this pages ago but our Stevie Wonders on the forum didn't see it. Convenient.
