It just irritates the hell out of me when I listen to fans of multiple teams going on rants that sound exactly the same. "Can you believe those (insert rival) fans? What a bunch of fucking idiots, all they complain about is the refs and say stupid shit. Thank god we're all smart fans and never sound like idiots."
Yeah I agree. Law of averages dictates that we should all get the same amount of blown calls and good calls. However, there's a time for complaining and not. Today, clearly no team was favored. In a game such as the Baker force out last year, when the right call is clear and gamechanging, the refs making a mistake is worth complaining about.
Odd, I thought that all the calls were pro Miami. Their D backs were raping our receivers for most of the game.
Best point in the whole thread. Maimi fans don't matter for another 16 weeks and by that time they may not matter at all.
When I saw the Jets snap the ball I thought there were several times the Dolphins were encroching at the line of scrimiage. I honestly thought that should've been about several offsides calls. Two or three times Pass Interference should've been called on the Dolphins mugging Lauverneous Coles. One of those three was called and honestly, the refs owed us one because Coles was touched before he made the attempt. The Delay of Game non-call. That was in favor for us. I was looking all over the screen for any yellow flags & none were thrown. Because I saw "0" for more than a good two seconds before the play clock disappeard and Favre threw the ball. The main point is this. Dolphins fans are too dumb & Stupid to know what's not working for them. The ones in Miami and the ones that are here in the NYC/NJ area are too full of themselves & they have no clue that their team still stinks. Sure they got Chad now & all he does is bring a veteran pressence they haven't had since the transference from Marino to Fiedler. But after Fiedler there hasn't been anyone to help right the ship. If all their recievers are going to track back 5 to 10 ten yards to help Chad out by catching a floater, they are going to get laid out hard. Sometimes I don't understand these idiot Dolphins fans that the Refs helped our team win. They never helped us out at all. How many times did they call false start on us today. Honestly I never saw any movement on the line before the ball was snapped unless it was ticky tacky calls. Let them cry & whine like the big babies that they are and let them hold on to their precious undefeated season as well. They are now a sad side of a football team in the NFL.
The guy was holding Coles right arm. Coles dove for the ball and only his left hand was free. He tried to make the play with one hand and nearly pulled it off. At any point, you can't hold a WR hand while the ball is in the air...or not. No comments on the delay of game let off as I really did'nt notice it. Ive seen the clock hit 0 several times and then the ball snaps. The final play ruling was perfect. Revis played the ball and the defender was outright trying to throw Revis down to avoid int. It was a good idea to do so as its better to take the penalty than a TO. But I guess Ted Ginn Jr. has no arm strength, just like our old friend Chad...
Jeez and I thought they traded Crybaby Taylor..... I guess his legacy lives on with the 4 Dolphin fans in attendance today.
What about the ridiculous call on the final drive where Ronnie Brown was called out of bounds when he was clearly driven backwards on the field?
He grabbed Coles arm, it was a good call and they missed 2 blatant PI calls against Miami where the defender clearly got there before the ball and they were drive enders plus a few offside penalties they didn't call. The refs were more slanted towards Miami then they were towards us. We had almost double the amount of penalties they had and we are always one of the least penalized teams in the league.
Did you see the crowd shots, what were there 10,000 people in the stadium on opening day, what great fans! :rofl:
Oh yeah! Forgot about that almost game changing wrong call! That call gave the 'fins a chance to win--their fans should focus on that.
They have GOT TO BE kidding. The Officials RAPED the Jets in the 1st 1/2 allowing the Phins to get away with at MINIMUM 2 Pass Interference penalties. Phins, fans need to man up and admit, that the officiating leaned towards the Phins early on and if there WAS any bad calls against the Dolphins later on, it was just a case of KARMA.
I thought I was the only one who caught that. The clock went to '0' then the ball was snapped to Farve but on the real. I could care LESS about the Dolphins fans bitching about us getting some calls OUR way when AGAIN, they got away with at least 2 Pass interference calls and at least ONE holding penalty in the 1st half.
