Fins believe Pats had an illegal formation w/ 7 on LOS on right side. Collins' feet appear to be within the DLs feet pic.twitter.com/OxMqEPBMTJ

I thought so…lol. The Fins seemed pissed, but it was not explained though mentioned by Ian Eagle.
 
I haven't seen the replay but others mentioned the snap was high throwing off the timing of kick. I deleted the game from DVR in the second half
 
It was a critical point, opening drive and to have that happen was crushing. Would it change the outcome??? Prob not but we'll never know. Leave it up to billacheat and home field advantage.
 
Color me shocked. Too bad the broadcast never paused the formation so people could actually see what the Phins were pissed about. That would go against the league mandate with the Pats.
 
The effort and results were terrible esp in the 2nd half, but do some math with me…if that kick goes through, Damien Williams catches that would be TD and the Fins kick FG's in the red area late, that is 12 more points and a total of 25 (remember that Sturgis kicked a FG after the Williams drop). The team still loses 34 to 25 or so, but the offense had chances to score and was not dominated. I want to see a lot out of the O in the last two games.

I agree. The team has the talent to play with anyone. The difference is coaching and execution ( they go hand in hand). That's why i want the roster tweaked and not blown up. The team playing now is worse than the team that opened the season and it should be the reverse with a well coached team.
The position that needs upgrading the most is the HC position.
 
boo ****ing hoo.

So what? rah rah they beat us 23 instead of 30?
 
Lets add that to the numerous PI no-calls and the no-call on their OL holding and send it to the NFL league office, where is will quickly be laughed at and tossed in the dumpster. You cant challenge the Pats. The NFL coddles its legacy teams like the Pats.

Stage one of grief is denial. The dolphins aren't bad, the NFL just favors the other team!!!

What stage is reality? Because we are bad and the NFL does coddle its major market teams like the Pats
 
If the game ended up being close I would be pissed, but we got our asses kicked, so does it really matter? Remember, this is Foxborough, every time we play up there we are guaranteed to get screwed over by the officials at least a couple of times. Lots of others teams have been screwed up there as well. Just watch the Cle/NE game last year.

I guess that's why they blew us out by 28, in case there was any doubt. All we need to do now id find another 3 or 4 plays where they had illegal formations that resulted in scoring and we can officially protest. :lol:

Hey don't knock it...they earned that coddling. It took them 7 or 8 years of an elaborate cheating scam to become one of those major market teams. That's a lot of work. <----sarcasm
