First play of the second half, right after the refs make that egregious OPI call on Stills and terrible holding call on Kilgore before the half? I am not insinuating that anything is "rigged" or any other ridiculous conspiracy theories, but it is quite something how far CBS is willing to go to protect the NFL and officials. It had to be equally as horrific a call that CBS was not even willing to show a replay after the play. If it was an obvious call, why not show it? I do not recall ever not seeing a replay after an OPI penalty. I guess CBS did not want to hear from the league on Monday on exposing how lousy the officiating was.

Regardless, CBS owes it to their viewers to show a replay of the penalty and not look after protecting the league. Fans should not have to resort to their DVR to watch the play over. Every penalty deserves replay and critique if necessary. They get their revenue from viewership -- not the NFL. Period.

I think the nfl put that call in, cuz in the second half they didn’t mention the refs at all.

Also, as soon as I hear the name hochuli was reffing, and saw all the flags, I knew he was gonna try to get as much Face Time in as possible, make himself a household name like his pompous father
 
I’m sure it was just as garbage as the first penalty. The fix was in for the raiders and the Phins didn’t get them the pleasure!

I rewatched it and the defender initiated the contact, just like the call on stills. Completely bogus call .

No. It is a national fixed league.

See the tuck rule to start. And if you didn't go NUTS with the BS calls against us Q2 (@HOME!) then I don't know what to say...

Point is -- you only need to doctor a few calls (in most games) to alter the outcome.

Beyond that --- when so much $$$$$$$$$$ is involved -- well...
 
Bruce Arians was hating on the bad calls in the first half. I do think the league told CBS to cut the crap in talking about how bad those calls were. Even Greg Gumbel got in on the action making fun of the refs on the Stills one.

Interesting insight from Arians that during the week the refs can be influenced to pay attention to certain things. Basically what he said.

Yea blaming us for not knowing what the refs were going to call after just 2 games in the NFL. Thought that was a bit tackey.
 
Yea, I immediately did the rewind on the second call. It was as absurd as the first.

Hopefully the Dolphins send those two into the league office side by side with every Patriots pick play since the start of the season and ask what the difference is. Of course it won't do any good. Maybe leak it to fan sites.

Ah I didn’t take it that way. I thought he was trying to disguise blasting the refs moreso than us but still interesting none the less.
 
The thing is... they didn't keep doing it. They let us play, and we won.

If the fix is in, X interferes with cooper or there is a phantom hold on the Wilson TD. Juuuust when the raidahs need it the most.

In a truly rigged game, like the 2003 Florida-ref$u game or the steratore-stealer game, the refs don't let up till the "job" is done.

Two absolute bullshit calls that stalled a drive at the 20. I hardly ever complain about the refs but that was atrocious.
 
The first two weeks it felt like dolphins were being treated normal and not getting too many BS calls. Then today it was back to it, I don't remember everything but I recall having lots of bad call vs Oakland last year too. A few of those offsides were clearly raiders but miami was flagged today

I think it was just a horribly officiated game.

I thought the holding call on Kilgore was awful and I absolutely chalk that one up to a stupid official throwing a flag because he saw a guy go down and assumed it had to be a hold.
