The same call that went against the Pats should have gone against the Ravens. Damn these officials, that would have given us a a much better chance to have won and be sitting at 4-2. Hard to be a fins fan when you not only have to beat the other team but the officials too lol!

I'm upset at the terrible PI calls and non calls from that game. Those led to points against us and took a TD away from us.

Of course it was. We never get those calls. We got screwed alot in that game, heck that whole Ravens TD drive in the second half that really got them going there was what, 50 yards in some pretty lame DPI calls?
Whatever, its over now.
The article does make me smirk a bit though, it gives me the impression that we sent in the tape from this non-call, which lead to the NFL policing it further, and now it cost the Pats a win. That makes me feel a bit better at least.ToddPhin, rafael, MikeHoncho and 1 other person like this. -

I will never ever agree with making that call on a final field goal situation, even if it benefits Miami. I can't believe they called it on the Patriots. The officials have not called that penalty consistently all year long. Miami's case was not the only one by a long shot. It does kind of illustrate the fallacy that the officials always call the game in New England's favor though.

unbelievable that our complaint helped the Jets win a huge game for them. It's as if the league decided to say "THIS is what happens when you complain"...

The rule change makes sense though. The rule has always been that you can't push the D-linemen from behind b/c it creates an increased risk that linemen will end up falling/rolling up on the legs of other linemen, like what happened to Satele in the Indy/Denver game. Before it was only called if the pushing player originally lined up behind the line (second level). But that's not what caused the safety issue. The safety issue was caused by the action of pushing the D-linemen. They just changed the rule to say that the action was illegal regardless of where the player was lined up before the play. And like any rule change, it takes time for the refs to get used to calling it.

I have better things to do than blame the officials for games lost. There are so many variables for why you are in that position to lose in the first place.

Maybe they could be. Maybe. But, they aren't.
