I hate to blame the officiating after a collapse like that, but I'm sorry, anyone with Tivo/DVR should go back and review that final Houston drive.
The second play of the drive (after the sack), Randy Starks was absolutely tackled as he was breaking clear to sack Schaub. Of course, there was no holding call.
Next, Schaub was hit and fumbled. His arm was stopped from going forward and the ball came out and the Dolphins recovered. Even if you disagree that his arm was stopped, why was the play not reviewed??? It was obviously an extremely close play within 2 minutes. The decision should have come from the replay booth to stop the game and review the call. Of course, the play was not reviewed.
Not surprisingly, when the Dolphins picked off Schaub, the replay booth immediately called for a replay inside 2 minutes. I may be wrong but I don't necessarily think there was overwhelming evidence that the ball did not hit Goodman's hands rather than the ground.
Typically, the Dolphins come out on the short end of terrible NFL officiating. Not a surprise.
This should have been a win. I am so angry that I am still shaking 10 minutes later.
