Chris Johnson with the fumble...

[772Fin]

Too bad the booth didn't freaking review it. He was clearly not down and hadn't been touched for more than half a second before the ball came flying out. Oh well. Good effort, Fins.

Wishful thinking, but foward progress is not reviewable.

They wouldn't review it because the ref's Happy Whistle blew.

Its a shame the the refs (on consecutive plays) blew the whistle the second a Fins defender touched CJ.... really irks me

And then you think ahead to that Ricky Williams run early on when there was about a 9 or 10 player pile up and they didn't blow the whistle until Ricky was wrestled down. This game hurts.

We just got F'in RAPED!!!!

Agreed... I won't say that the whistle wasn't consistent with the rules... However, based on how they had been letting the play go on earlier in the game it was a bad whistle.

The Camarillo personal foul was the call that really screwed the Fins.. Real ticky-tack. And it put the Titans in FG range.

The fumble was close. I wouldn't say it was an excessively early whistle but I do think they should have let the play continue since Johnson was on his feet and still fighting for forward progress. I do believe it would've been a fumble if not for the whistle.

The call that really angered me was the personal foul on Camarillo. When Camarillo noticed that the Titans player wasn't down and a nearby Dolphins player was walking away, he immediately rushed to make sure he could down the player before he could get up. It was a heads up play and in no way deserving of a penalty. Just a really BS call.

W/O even the common curtesy of a reach-around!
