LOL @ the referees

[mandal24]

Let me start by saying that I hate bringing refs into the conversation of losing but seriously, it is downright pitiful at the job these guys did yesterday.

People will say not to blame losses on the refs bla bla.. We're not the players or coaches, were the fans. We can. Especially when playing a team like the Saints. Its hard enough winning against a team of that caliber, but then to add in the refs as well.. Sheesh!

Top blunders that made me laugh because of the obsurdity...
-Camarillo's "forward" pass
The pass NEVER WENT FORWARD!
The pass was not a pass at all! He tripped over himself trying to get out of bounds and he juggled the ball.
That call is wayyy too subjective!
Jake Grove, our center, gets called for false start
-Same drive as the Camarillo blunder, Grove gets called for a false start? WTF? A center getting called for a false start is one the rarest calls. I'm calling BS on that one.
-Darren Sharper's "Touchback"
Ball CLEARLY popped loose before he got into the endzone.
Nothing else needs to be said about this play, other than it cost the Dolphins 7 points.
-Colston's "forward pass"
Colston essentiall did the same thing Camarillo did, getting the ball over the goal line by fumbling the ball forward. Only with this play, the Saints, who had NO TIMEOUTS got an EXTRA play. That Drew Brees TD should have never counted. How come theres a 10 second runoff when an offensive team has a false start but theres no runoff in this situation. Refs screwed us BAD on that one. Once again, another 7 points that should have never been.

Look, I understand referees are humans and are subject to errors, but these are supposed to be the best at what they do and also had replay to help them better call the game. Bogus pass interference calls are one thing but two plays that literally cost the Dolphins 14 points is unacceptable.

I hate bringing up the refs and whenever a fan does everyone just calls them a sore loser or whatever, but the refs were really terrible yesterday and seemed like they wanted NO to win.

I am blaming the refs. They are just as bias as anyone else.

Maybe instead of blaming the refs, we should fix the real issues here. The coaching was horrible the entire second half and we dont have a real WR. Im damn sure i could count on two hands the amount of times we ran the ball in the second half while up by 14. Unbelievable. Then we stop blitzing and gladly allow Brees to pick us apart. And dont even get me started on that clown Ginn. That guy is the biggest joke of a WR in the league.

Basically, the refs had nothing to do with it. Honestly, even if the refs wanted us to lose, they couldnt do it by themselves.

The only terrible call was the Camarillo forward pass. He obviously just lost control of the ball.

Jake Grove bobbed a little and was called for it. The Sharper play was too close to be called terrible. I believe it came out before, but I can see why it was not overturned. I don't even know what you are talking about with the Colston forward pass thing.

I don't even know what you are talking about with the Colston forward pass thing.

2nd to last play of the 1st half... there were 5 seconds left when colston went down at the half-inch yard line, saints had no timeouts left. Refs screwed up the call and because of it, Saints got an additional free play

 

[tylerdolphin]

They beat us by 12 anyhow...after we were up 21. To blame the refs is ridiculous. The game was ours to lose. There was NOTHING the refs could do to lose that game for us. All we had to do was show up in the second half. If you lose a game that you lead by 21 you have NO excuse. Its 100% on you. No crying about the refs. You blew it.

 

[riversced]

The refs were for the Saints and it showed

 

[Despacio]

Exactly! Subjective! That's exactly what I said when they made that stupid call against Camarillio, there was no evidence that he purposefully threw the ball out of bounds, it looked just as much as it slipped out as he was reaching for tout of bounds line. The idea that he threw it forward is one of opinion, a subjective point of view. Referees are not there to give their subjective point of views.

 

[riversced]

The meaningless call at the end of the game made me almost vomit. It wasn’t like the Fins would’ve won the game if they scored. The refs should’ve left that one along. It was like they was trying to cover the spread.

 

[tylerdolphin]

First of all, Im not on the dolphins so know i didnt blow it. Like I said, its one thing to be playing arguably the best team in the nf but to add the zebras in it is just too much for a team. Dolphins outplayed the Saints for 2 quarters, played even with them for 1 quarter, and got outplayed for 1 quarter.. We should have one against a far superior team with far superior talent.

My grammar made perfect sense. I obviously wasn't using you in a literal way. Dont correct my grammar on a message board, especially when theres nothing to correct.

You hit the nail on the head though. We simply got outplayed for a half. There is no excuse for that. We were up 21. No ref can lose you that game. You have to lay an egg to los it and we did. It looks retarded to blame the refs for a loss in a game you should have won blindfolded.

 

[Swantoon]

I will say the refs didn't cost us anything. In fact I remember getting a couple good calls in the game as well. The Saints beat us not the Refs.

 

[sharp]

We did lose b/c we did it to ourselves.

The Refs gave them make up calls because of the replay malfunction in the beginning of the game. Simple as that. Problem is those plays were much more critical than the play bess got away with.

We got a freaking replay malfunction. And it looked like the call would have been overturned.

I wouldn't say that, it looked like Sharper fumbled well before scoring too but they ****ed that up too.
