I've seen some posters saying we got lucky on that call. But it was the correct call. It was called on Reggie Wayne and it took away a big touchdown in the 3rd quarter, instead the Colts had to settle for a field goal. The call was illegal shift (not illegal motion). All 11 players must be set for at least one second prior to the snap of the ball. Wayne is late to the line of scrimmage initially and is never set for his one second. He then goes in motion prior to getting set for his one second and is still moving when the ball is snapped (after moving from the right of the formation to the left). The resulting penalty was the right call. I wonder if having Stephen Ross on the sidelines helped keep the refs honest... :shifty:

You should ask them about the blatant pick play they ran to keep that drive at the end of the game alive. That was totally missed, and the ref was looking right at the area of the pick.

Ya it's so strange to me how they got that call right...but completely missed the rest of the game.

- The spot on the deep Wallace catch was wrong. His butt hit the line, and the ball was on his stomach. There'd be no way that wasn't a TD. EDIT<-----This one is proven wrong by Paul 13. It hurts to say that.
- The spot on Tannehill's qb keeper was horrible as well.
- That was not a fumble. That wasn't even close to a fumble.Wayne Kjelsrud and Frumundah Finnatic like this. -

Now the last one was weird. Was that a challenge by Indianapolis, or was that an auto review of a fumble? Because they said the ruling on the field was upheld/confirmed. I thought the ruling on the field was an incomplete pass. The CBS crew really missed that if that was the case. I think the rules have been changed recently to call Ryan's pass here a fumble, as he didn't have control of the ball when his hand was moving forward. In previous years that would have been called an incomplete pass. Anyway, hopefully this call will come in our favor down the road when we get a pressure on a qb who loses the ball prior to the hand moving forward. And these things balance out. -

The refs weren't perfect but what refs are? The illegal shift call was correct, as much as Colts fans wanna ***** about it. HOWEVER we did get away with a hold on Griff Whalen late in the game, I believe Clemons was the culprit. There was also a borderline late hit by Reshad Jones too.

The play that won the game for us, Wake was mugged right in front of the ref with no flag. Just glad Wheeler got to Luck.

The call was correct but it still reflects poorly on Miami's ability to cover tight ends. Chris Clemons allowed a touchdown there that he should not have allowed.
A week ago Reshad Jones lost Gary Barnidge in the end zone for a touchdown which was called back on an unrelated penalty. That ended up being a harbinger of the touchdown Coby Fleener scored against Reshad Jones this week.
Miami played a good game and had a good win, but I hope they aren't dismissive of a mistake simply because the referees called the play back on a ticky-tack illegal shift penalty.
If we're really bringing up officiating then I think the two-play stretch needs to be brought up where Reshad Jones clearly used excessive force against a player out of bounds, followed by pass interference on Coby Fleener in the end zone (I believe it was Jimmy Wilson, not sure though). It did not have an effect on the outcome of the game, though.
The officiating was very average.ColtFan likes this. -

The refs called 3 penalties all game. Isn't that what fans usually want?
