There's 2 Dolphins players hands around the ball, and one Steeler trying to reach but obvously being very far away.

Is there a pic of Francis with the ball in the end?
-
It was just as obvious on the replay!

You know it's bad when even ESPN analysts agree it was a blown call. It's not often we get them on our side.

No way he'd ever lie. Never mind the off-the-field stuff. -
That pic does not show who has the ball, I know we got it, but the pic shows nothing.

On TV, right after the refs lame excuse, they showed Francis walkin out of the endzone with the ball held highColorado Dolfan and MikeHoncho like this. -

Well honestly some ref should have followed up the play and watched the scrum as a manner of course. This clown just stopped the play and walked away!

Not sure if this was talked about already but I have an interesting question. For arguments sake what if it was 4th down when he fumbled into the endzone and the replay clearly confirmed this. Then what would the refs say? Either it would HAVE to be ruled a touchdown by Pittsburgh for recovering the fumble OR a touchback by the Dolphins for recovering it. No in between, one or the other. But since it was only 3rd down its like the refs got a free pass by saying "were not sure what happened,lets give the Steelers the ball back." On fourth down they would have been forced to come up with an answer as to who recovered the damn ball. And that clearly would have been Miami`s ball.

A dead ball in the ****ing end zone is a ****ing Touchback. Rules make it so that when a call is questionable, the Refs sort out the ****ing scrum so that a possession call can be made going into the replay so you don't have to call the replay inconclusive.

Look, I saw the Fins player get up out of the pile with the ball, I know we got it, but that pic shows nothing. -
After Jeff Fisher (Titans coach) spilled the beans last week that the refs asked him to spend a time out in the waning seconds against Jacksonville on the Monday Night Football game last week for advertisements, and he wouldn't, and we see Jaguars coach Del Rio called inexplicable consecutive time outs when down multiple scores with 1 min left on the clock, I'm set.
The NFL is a ***** corporation now.
They gave the Steelers the game. It's pathetic. -
last week the call on ronnie brown being short on 4th down and now this!!!??? this is getting rediculous!!

Ask and you shall receive.
I snapped this screenshot as it happened.
Gene had another ball tossed in to place for the PAT, which is in his hands. Francis has the ball from the pile.MikeHoncho, jetssuck, FinsAreLife and 6 others like this. -

Honestly, the nfl needs some sort of explaination for this one. Its just BS.

The ref's shouldn't have blown the play dead until it was over. Then made their call. It would have changed how the replay was viewed. The goal line ref prematurely calling it a TD was the wrong call, which ultimatley limited what/how they had to review the challenge.
If they would have let the play finalize (IE: see who comes up with the ball from the pile, then make the call on the field) it would have altered the outcome of the TD or no TD.
Still garbage officiating that cost us a Win. Good game by our guys though. Really thougth they played well, even on Special teams. We are 3-3 so far this season, far from over yet.MikeHoncho likes this. -
