I cant believe more of you guys arent harping on this. Fuller got hit early, DB wasnt playing the ball and ot shouldve been 1st and goal at the 1 to win the Mofo'n game!

**** that ref. After the contact Fuller had no chance. It wasn't Fkn Close.
That was Game Over, relatively speaking (1st and goal at the 1 is no gomme for the Dolphins).

On the road, vs a 2-0 team, we win that game only for an activist ref (IMO) to swallow the whistle on what was a perfectly executed pitch and catch needing a Blatant pass interference to stop it.

Is 1+1=2 or what here? Youre Fkn Blind if you dont grasp the fact of the matter.

That was the equivalent of a home plate ump calling a strike on a ball that bounces in front of the plate.

I agree. Terrible call, he wasn’t playing the ball and both hands pretty much collided with fullers shoulders. Swallowed wistle

We’re away. No tua press. Las Vegas 2-0. Gruden. It’s in the cards
 
As much as I want to jump in on this, I just can’t. It was 100% PI. But sadly, this organization just continues to suck from top to bottom and I’m finding it more and more difficult to get outraged over officiating.
 
It definitely should have been called. However, missed calls happen every game. We got away with a few ourselves. What cost us the game, besides the non-existent o-line, was the inexplicable call that led to the safety.
 
The PI they called for Mack Hollins that let us send the game to OT was very soft.

Then, once it was tied in OT, our defender PI’d their guy but he actually still caught it. Fuller had a chance to catch his but he doesn’t exactly have the best hands.

I don’t put this game on the refs at all. It was a miss but there was 20 other things we could have done better.
 
A few plays before there was much more blatant PI on a deep ball to DeVante. Mullens made much harder contact and earlier. He was going for the ball but that’s besides the point. He ran through DeVante and hit him early. That was a more egregious missed call.

Ironically, that second PI was very similar to the PI they called against us last year against the Raiders that necessitated Fitzpatricks heroics. I thought they should’ve let that go, so I understand why they didn’t call the Fuller one.

Fuller needs to catch that ball. The contact was early but not too hard. Make the catch and it’s a moot point.

$10 million reasons for him this season to make that catch....but of course he doesn't 🎃
 
Refs and consistency in calling PI is impossible to get 100% right.

Not defending the refs at all, but when you watch a handful of games a day you see them throwing a ticky tacky PI flag in one game and then then next game the REF just came from a WWE match and doesn't throw a flag for anything.
 
I agree the PI not called against the Raiders was big. Also, early in the game the 2 point safety hurt Mimi's momentum. Considering all factors, Brissett should not have thrown that pass and, or, Waddle should have batted it down.
