I love to hate those Dolphins, regardless of how bad they are. Just a matter of time before we start owning the arrogant asses at the Meadowlands. Against.

Remember, we're talking about the effectiveness of batting balls down, as football players are taught. My point was that it's not always a "gimme." Either of those could EASILY have been intercepted.

I don't disagree. But at that angle -- with it being a jump ball, and Jennings angling toward the back of the endzone -- It easily could have been batted straight into the air. He had no leverage.
I'll research this tomorrow. One happened early in the season; the other late. Simon knows what I'm referring to, it appears, though he disagrees a bit about the situation.
Twice last season balls were batted down right into the waiting arms of the offense on a hail Mary -- for touchdowns. That's not an exact science, especially given Jennings' trajectory on that play.
He also said that a ref crew that disagrees on a call should settle it before making an official call. That clearly did NOT happen. The ref in the endzone who called it a touchback had a FAR better view than the schmuck who called it a TD.
