Agreed - this game has been total BS. The refs are clearly making calls that just are not there. The Holding call on Patterson? Are you kidding me?

 

The batted ball was bullcrap, but the kid misses another FG and Tannehill lobs the ball into double coverage for an INT. They are not playing good ball......period

 

Perhaps but it doesn't matter. Neither one of these teams are going to do anything in the playoffs. They're irrelevant.

 

Moving the ball and on first down Tannehill forces the ball to Wallaces for an INT. THere was no fix to that.

 

After that Vernon penalty I just turned the game off. No point watching, the refs have already decided who wins.

 

What was the Vernon penalty. Seems like there were too many hands to the face for Solia.

 

Yeah those two penalties were atrociously bad, but we shouldn't have been in the position where we were down to begin with.

The big game changer came on 2nd and 2 when we throw to Wallace and he drops a pass that would put us at the goal line. Then we attempt to throw again on 3rd and short and take a big sack to knock us 9 yards back, miss the fail goal in windy weather, Pats score and gain all momentum.

We went from taking a big lead to giving it up for a tie game in 106 seconds. We just plain suck and scream of a 7-9 team yet again...that isn't the refs fault.

 

Yes it is, if anyone cannot see it then they are either stupid or simply moronic

Bye bye nfl, my time is precious, won/t waste it anymore

 

Sacks, sacks,and more sacks. And WTF is up with this gameplan?.....down 2 scores and no hurry up?!!, walking to the line using the whole playclock?.....What is going on!!!! This is really bad.....a damn disgrace. And another game Thurs?......lol forget it

 

Football sucks. Refs are takin over games more and more. I loathe laming ref's, but today was ****ing pathetic. 3 BRUTAL calls that shouldn't have happened that resulted in 2 FG's and a TD.

It SHOULD NOT ****ING HAPPEN.

It takes ALL of the fun out of the ****ing game. I turn on football to be entertained, not to see my team he bent over and ****ed in the ***. It's not ok, and there is No accountability for this ****.

 

I think this team is a bad as they look but it is pretty clear that when NE starts to struggle then these phantom calls start happening. just can't have the pretty boys from NE look bad now. I give up, back to NCAA, as much as I hate that organization I really hate the NFL soo much more now...

Ross, time to blow it up cuz it aint happening no matter what....

 

Did anyone else raise an eyebrow after the Patriots took the lead and they show that 10 sec Budweiser Ramsey clip?

 

I agree that the O-line is garbage and Ireland needs to be fired.

That said, the officiating royally ****ed us today. You can have all those things happen at once, just because the team has issues does not excuse the officiating.

We'll get a letter Monday apologizing for the bad calls.

 

We were inconsistent but all of those ****ing calls were absolutely horrible. Really killing the game for me completely.

 

Coaching has been found wanting.

That Tannehill INT is horrible coaching and play design. They have tried it a few time, it always results in a negative play. The throw was a decent throw, but that play has almost no chance of ever working under the conditions our offense operates. They'll always have a safety high to cover that play.

Then, poor protection packages on all aspects. Poor play selection. Poor offensive design. Inconsistent on defense. Over aggressiveness on defense. Head scratching coverage sometimes.

Just bad coaching all around.

 

You mean our coach on the sideline constantly clapping his hands has no value?

 

Didn't they already retain Ireland? Typical Lolphins football. We've been "building" the OL to a bust for a couple of years now. That's more than enough to fire any GM imo.

And yes there were some terrible calls, but were they worse than the Dolphins are by themselves?

 

It happens, get over it... I have.. We should have made more plays on offense...

 

The refs didn't make Ryan Tannehill turn into a turnover machine.

 

Football is a game of inches. 2 drive continuing bull**** calls and that batting call accounted for 13 points today. You CANNOT overcome that in today's nFL. The refs shat the bed today. I wish everyone one of the ****ers got **** came down to pop-Warner level. There is NO excuse for those horrific calls. They weren't even close.

 

I agree 100 percent but the last part Miami will not get a apology though Goddell is in Kraft 's pocket.

 

That was a BRUTAL call on Patterson, the PI on Wilson was worse, the call on Vernon was plain blatant cheating. I'm not a blame the refs guy and they aren't the reason we lost but damn, the defense played a helluva game, I feel bad for them.

 

Should we replace the fist bump with golf clap?

 

Very true. Tannehill should be held accountable, two weeks in a row w the lackadaisical lobs into double coverage to kill scorin drives and does he have to fumble so friggin often? I thinks not.

 

You know the officiating is bad when even Phil Sims is saying theyre bad calls.

 

Let's say those 3 plays are non calls. You think we still would have lost?

 

Youre an idiot dude. Its beyond ridiculous at this point at the amount of oxygen you are stealing from the rest of us. Just ban me at this point. I can't believe ppl like lbsf are still around here polluting this board with the dumbest, most repetitive, incoherent nonsense. Yeah the refs played no part today genius.

 

Philbin....what does it take for you to walk your team off? Would BB, TB and Kraft collectively pissing on the fins' logo do it?


I'm telling you, if Philbin did some drastic action of some kind this game and the calls would be talked about league-wide, coast to coast and these refs would be fired.

Instead? He smirks and claps? Joe c'mon.....

 

take away those penalties and Miami DID make more plays on offense than New England. Take away those penalties and we'd be hearing New England fans screaming how Brady & Co didn't make enough plays on offense.

Even with the refs' help Brady totaled an embarrassing 13 completions for 100 net passing yards. That's his second worst completion total and worst net yardage total of the past 5 years.

 

We lost A LOT of momentum on those first two penalties. We could have responded better, sure... but those penalties directly impacted the game IMO.

 

Anyone with a DVR able to upload that whole sack / fumble / ref mess?

 

That clap has been a coaching staple for the past decade.

 

I think the Dolphins will be relevant again when the NFL decides that it is time. I'm not going to continue to invest of myself any more than superficially. if I want "staged drama" I'll watch the WWE...

 

Traffic and hits, duh.

Quantity > Quality , obviously.

 

yeah to me the team looked like a deer in headlights after it.... or a surfer tumbling under a wave. We had the momentum, a three score lead, and the Pats seemed like they had the life sucked from them. Becoming just a 2 possession game before halftime was pretty damaging considering how terrible NE looked up until the refs extended their drive. I think there's a considerable shift in mentality going from a 3 score game to a 2 score one, especially when you know you're getting the ball to start the second half.
