Not that it matters since we won the game, but that certainly WAS NOT a fumble by Ricky.

If youre into stats, this makes the first game this season that the phins have had multiple turnovers thanks to that horrible call by the officials. It gives us 12 on the season, and I believe inches us closer from setting that record for least amount of turnovers in a 16 game season by any NFL team.
 
Yeah it was a pretty bad call. Thank God it didnt hurt us in the end.

My question is WHAT THE HELL are you bouncing it outside for when you are inside the 10 with less than 2 minutes and you are leading by 7. Just wrap it up run right up the middle kick the FG and then GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!!!!
 
Record is 14 turnovers in a season.

Anyway, Ricky has been riddled throughout his career with fumbles. He's known for it. He's a great back, but he fumbles; that's just who he is. If we know this, as fans, why in the hell are the coaches running him in an end-of-the-game situation? Why risk a fumble? Either kneel the ball or give it to Ronnie! Anyone but Ricky when a fumble could cost us the game!

It was a bad call by the refs but because the replays were so horrible, it was inconclusive.

this is what i was saying the whole end of the game...

why does our coaching staff have more faith in ricky than ronnie? i was calling it the whole last drive there, WHY IS RICKY RUNNING he is much more fumble prone than ronnie, then bang look at what happens... Ronnie ran great for msot of his 8 carries, why do we not give him the ball more... makes zero sense and is starting to really piss me off
 
I'm a semi stats guy so I want us to have the record, but I expected a sloppy game with those condtitons. It was a fair call IMO because there wasn't enough to overturn it.

Bang look at what happened???? WTF are you talking about. Its not like Ricky fumbled. The refs called it a fumble, but it clearly wasnt.

Ricky is the better player. Thats why they have more faith in him. And not only did Ronnie fumble earlier in the game(he got bailed out by a roughing the passer call) he has shown a propensity for boneheaded plays in crucial spots. (not knowing the play vs. the Jets, not knowing the play on the first play of the game vs. the Pats, the ridiculous play in this game where he had an easy first down and instead tried to juke after the catch leaving us in 4th and 1 and we failed to score) Thats why Ricky gets the ball there.
 
lol@ricky being the better player...

and it was a fumble, there was no angle to say otherwise...

regardless ricky is a fumbler, its his MO... we are running out the clock we should not have Ricky in there PERIOD... we got lucky that his fumble this time didn't hurt us... but id rather not even be in that situation where we have to bail out his fumble... just give it to ronnie up the gut and run out the clock, game over...
 
It was a bad call, plain and simple. Get off the man love for Ronnie, if he didn't dance everytime he touches the ball, he would be in there. We won the game, be happy.
 
My question is why the hell would CBS not have a camera in that endzone? Are you kidding me? You have the top NFL package, and you can't afford a camera in the endzone?

But seriously, that wasn't a fumble. I'm a homer, but even if I wasn't, I'd say he was down. Both elbows hit before that ball came out.

You can LOL all you want..
Right now ricky is playing like the better back.
He knows where the sticks are and he gets there.
Ill give it to you he fumbles more than Ronnie but he also trust his teammates
The play on 3rd where Chad threw it to him in the flat and instead of catching and just turning it up he catches it jukes no one because he expects someone to be there and doesnt convert.
2 drives later same type play to Cobbs and as soon as he gets the ball he flips his head and gets the 1st.
I like Ronnie but some parts of his game are off right now
 
All I have to say is we should have told chad to take a knee and burn time and take a give me fg.

Oh, stop with your Ricky Homerism. Ronnie had 2 big runs with the wildcat and a crucial 3rd and 10 catch and turn at the end of the game.

That play with Ronnie was a blown screen play. For his career Ronnie fumbles once ever 80 or 90 touches. His hands are much better than Ricky's.
 
does it matter we prob should have kneeled and then kicked a field goal bad coaching a bit in that game.
