Well conclude whatever you'd like, but whether I'm agenda-driven or not, or anything else about me for that matter, isn't the topic for discussion here. :)
This picture is when the game changed.

I doubt it would have been overturned.

Tua time!
the ball to wallace was thrown to the outside away from the safety...if he throws it inside its leading wallace to hard contact...wallace has to see the safety positioning and run his route accordingly to the outside...
big missed opportunity...but most the pats points came after horrendous calls against our d...

My perception in watching it was that Wallace had just come out of his break, and the ball was a bit behind him and surprised him when it arrived, which made it a tougher than average catch. That said, Wallace doesn't seem focused in general IMO, so it's tough to tell how much blame to lay on him for a play that looks like that.
Really I don't even think that play should've been called. Having gotten into FG range where the team could've gone up by three scores, Sherman should've been calling run plays and designed roll-outs for comeback routes on the sideline. Ultra-conservative stuff.
This team doesn't have the kind of quarterback that can outduel other QBs, especially Tom Brady. When you're in position to go up by three scores in a game you should lose, you do everything possible to keep that scenario intact rather than squandering it. The team should've been running the ball and throwing high-percentage passes on plays designed to minimize the possibility of a sack.
Same thing should've been going on at the end of the Buffalo game, but Sherman doesn't seem to appreciate sufficiently: 1) the game situation, or 2) the quality of the personnel he's using.
Well finally something I agree with u on.

they need "indisputable" video evidence to overturn the call on the field. if you think they were overturning it your crazy. Again. Its a judgement call even looking at the replays. No way Miami gets that. Would have been a TO

Difficult catch to make with another very inaccurate pass

Indisputable??? This was a photo I shot half drunk sitting on my chair.... His Left foot was already down and his right foot is clearly planted on the turf. This one gets overturned for sure. No question about it. Philbin needs to throw the flag.

Yes, 0 points, and turning the ball over. and a game plan that made no adjustments for the Pats rush. Coaching was horrible once again.
The refs sucked too.
Regarding the field goal: Even if it was from a shorter distance, it still would've hit the pylon or gone wide. Sturgis deliberately played the wind, even though it wasn't blowing in that moment that he kicked it. So being 9 yards closer there still means a missed field goal. I mean, from closer in, maybe he doesn't play the wind as much and aims towards the center more, but maybe he did hit it slightly wrong too. The first half FG definitely got pushed and almost got pushed wide, so we could all totally believe he had that in mind. It just wasn't blowing when the ball was snapped, and that particular kick misses from any distance.
This kick situation is like the Steve Bartman Cubs situation. The equivalent to the blown double-play by A-Gon was the sack fumble where out dunderhead QB completely failed to account for that blitzer who was standing there for 10 seconds prior to the snap. Tannehill never accounted for blitzers and was hit by unblocked guy like 5 different times. That's his job to account for those guys, period. What does he do in film study, watch Spongebob Squarepants?

Like somebody else said, tired of people saying "make plays, don't blame the refs etc". Well, Wilson made a play knocking Brady on his a** and causing a fumble. He made another covering Gronk even though they called interference. Patterson made one defending but was called for a bs hold. Matthews made one with the catch we see in this thread.
It's hard to make plays when the refs are taking them away from you. Anybody who doesn't think the refs had an agenda in this game is blind. I have to rethink the NFL. This was too obvious.

The game changed and the momentum shifted with the missed FG. Doesn't mean we didn't have a chance to win, but that is when things started turning and we couldn't do anything about it. Oh yea, the refs didn't help much either.
