    This is not a "bash the Dolphins" thread. Rather, it is a celebration that we really got all the calls last night. For once! If we're gonna ***** about the refs, we should celebrate them as well.

    The intentional grounding could have gone either way - it went our way!
    The pass interference call didn't look like pass interference to me - but we got the flag!
    Landry's knee looked down to me - but we got the TD

    And the icing on the cake was Dan Carpenter missing a 47 yard FG!

    I wouldn't say we got all the calls but they did give us some make up ones. They didn't call the P.I. on Gibson on our first drive on 2nd down where we took a sack and ended up in 3rd and 24. But it didn't matter because we took a time out and Damien Williams got the 1st. But who's complaining, we pulled it out. That was basically a playoff game and we took advantage because if we lost we were done. Great win.

    The only call that really mattered was the PI.

    I did like the Unsportsmanlike Conduct call. That was on a sack! But dude seemed to deserve the flag.

    I was worried Landry would get a flag for his celebration after the TD. I don't think he got in but if the Phins can't score on 1st and goal at the one, they don't deserve to win.

    That was on 3rd down as well which made it worse.

    Getting those calls helped for sure, but you could argue that the safety hurt Miami.

    Instead of having the ball at midfield or better, the free kick had Miami around their own 35. Then of course Landry fumbled.

    Had the Bills not **** the bed and missed the FG, they would've had a net of +1.

    I think there are questionable calls in every football game. But it seems when we play New England, in New England, or anyone for that matter up there, there are phantom calls... not ones that are debatable... but rather, calls that aren't even there to begin with. So, yes we got some calls that went our way, but we have a long way to go to catch up to the Pats.

    You can't assume Landry would fumble. He was at the 39. Let's say they get the ball from a punt at the Bills 45, they're up 15 yards but go from you're not up 3, still 1.

    The safety didn't hurt.

    Granted not getting that safety wouldn't have mattered much because the field position would have been great either way but those 2 points were very helpful. You can't really argue with the call. Watkins cut in the opposite direction as the ball was being released. It was most certainly intentional grounding.

    Exactly. While that pass interference call was "tacky", I have seen that call made A LOT. It has been called against the Dolphins plenty of times.

    There's a really great picture on floating around twitter of the PI call, the defender put his arm around the receiver's body at best that's PI, at worst it's illegal contact. There was definitely a penalty on that play, regardless.

    We'll win some and we'll lose some. The one that stood out the most to me was the grounding call. The way Mike Carey explained it, where the ball went in relation to where the receiver was makes sense. Sort of. With that being the case, there should be more grounding calls made as it is quite common for the receiver to break the wrong way and is no where near the ball. So, how does a ref judge that?

    Refs can't judge intent. By rule it was the right call. There was no WR in the viscinity, wasn't out of the pocket and basically thew it out of bounds.

    On the pi, Phil simms said it best. "This is why you throw it down field" I swear Flaccos best play is a pi call. You throw it deep cause pi is one of the possibilities.

    Right, there was no WR in the vicinity because he broke to the inside than that outside. That's why he was not in the area. So right again, the ref can't judge intent because the receiver is either in the area or not.

    Yep. The truth is that receivers do run wrong routes...but an extremely small percentage of the time. To give the benefit of the doubt that it happened on this one particular play is silly.

    Honestly the odds are he was supposed to run a corner to post route, Orton saw him break in and knew he couldn't lob it to the middle.
