Love the dolphins forum - Bills won because of the refs?

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

To be fair, the Bills won because of the more points thing.  But the refs called a great game too.

Also on the fish forum. They're adorable.

Yes. There were at least 3 in the 1st quarter alone by White.

 

 

None of the plays by Tre White were PI as it is being called now........mainly because a play was being made on the ball.........arriving a split second early doesn't get the flag in the NFL in 2022.     Maybe Miami fans aren't used to tight coverage on their fast receivers but Bills fans should be.   

 

The McKenzie PI was a penalty in any season for the past 40+ years because the defender wasn't playing the ball and plowed blindly into a receiver preventing him from coming back for a catchable ball.

I’m surprised to see that there were two or three rational posts by Miami fans acknowledging that the bills are better than Miami and that Josh is way better than Tua. It must be a real challenge to be a sane dolphins fan in the midst of all that.

Lol one guy was like “we have the better team and the better QB”.

Even some of their fans were like, “stop with the nonsense that we have the better qb” lol

Better than having to admit there are only 3 things guaranteed in life:

 

Death 

Taxes 

Dolphins fading in December to crash out of the playoffs

[njbuff]

The Bills gained 1,000 yards against Miami in two games.

 

Maybe their fans should focus on that defense.

 

And if Allen wasn’t playing on fumes in the first meeting, he wouldn’t have bounced that pass to McKenzie and the Bills sweep them. AGAIN 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Blame your coaching staff Dolphins fans.

 

Your team stopped running the ball.

 

Your QB throws wounded ducks and hospital balls.

 

Bills win because they have the Winter Soldier at QB at you couldn’t stop his will to win.

I don’t like games decided by PI but to me that was text book yet you can always make arguments when you are biased.  I did notice the bills got away with some stuff on hill but it’s also true there are dozens of I called penalties on both teams in every game.  Anyway this is fun.   These guys are in a full melt down.

When they didn’t call the offensive pi when the receiver pushed white with both arms extended right in front of the ref , it’s pretty hard to take any complaints they have about Pi seriously. How many times were their drives extended by penalties as well?  We all remember how many times Bills dbs have been flagged for not turning their heads around this season , so I can’t see how a ref could ignore calling pi on that mckenzie play.

Are Dolphins fans complaining about the refs when they got lucky that McKenzie's amazing sideline catch was ruled incomplete? then not reversed?!?  Even unbiased national media thought that was a clear in bounds catch and held onto it.  So in the end they get hit with a DPI that refs will call 100% of the time and have done so against the Bills as well.

It’s not so much total penalty yards, but when the actual penalties are called (3rd down, final drive, etc.) With that being said, Miami fans are a bunch of cry babies. The only thing I agree with is the non-intentional grounding on Allen which could’ve been called. Other then that they can **** off. 

 

Watching that replay over and over again during the game and it could have been but it also could have been personal foul roughing the passer, those Dolphins players wrapped him up long after he threw it.

Anyone been to the patriot forums? 
Can you imagine being Mac Jones sitting in the team meeting watching the film?  Imagine being max jones the moment he saw Jones catch the ball?

Complaining about refs = team lost.

That was a good example of poorly executed officiating that benefitted the Dolphins.

 

Not because the call wasn't overturned by replay............but that the call on the field was an incomplete pass.

 

The refs are taught to let plays like that happen if they aren't certain that they saw it..........and there is no way that official saw that as a certain drop or as out of bounds.

 

He just guessed.

 

That is not how it's supposed to be done.  

 

And had it been ruled a catch on the field it would have never been overturned.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

This board has no standing to criticize another board about officiating complaints.  For years there were numerous posters saying the entire NFL was rigged for Brady and the Pats.

I wish the last part was true, but I can’t see how the Dolphins miss the playoffs.

 

Their remaining schedule is pretty soft. I see them finishing 10-7 at the worst which will get them in

[John from Riverside]

They’re lucky that they didn’t get beat worse

[Dr.Sack]

Fins fans just mad their team brought their A game and lost a heart breaker. When we lose we usually blame our own

[dma0034]

I thought the officials were awful. I also do not believe that either team benefitted greatly.... both teams got screwed

 

Also: the throw by Allen was completely IG. No one was close. If Dawkins doesn't touch that ball no Bills player is within 15 yards.
