What a Tuel

Man, we are straight up chasing this guy out of Buffalo because he had unlucky injuries. Get it straight people, you fired first, on his instagram, on his facebook, on his twitter. Sure that happens to all athletes, but when they fire back don't act shocked and appalled because you acted like the douchebags first.

The people upstairs who review TO's, and scoring plays should also be looking for clearly blown calls. The play is already stopped for the penalty so it wouldn't take much time. Of course this should only be on flags thrown, as that is an official interference into the game rather than looking for penalties that should have been called but were not. Either that or like you said above make these penalties challengable under the same challenge limits. Edit: On another note, if these are all "legitimate" flags and the officials are just calling them more (noticeable uptick in flags thrown), then maybe the rules need to be changed. If football was more enjoyable with less flags, and players presumably getting away with fouls 5 years ago that they aren't now, then either change the rules or tell the officials to lighten up. Just my 2 cents, flag football is no fun.

Haha, the patriot fans are having a field day saying Goodell "inflated" the numbers.

I said the same thing (but I likely won't follow through). They better do something spectacular if they bring him out of that alive.

I assume you haven't seen the type of comments on anything he posts on facebook? I don't mind him calling them out because they are straight up ignorant douchebags.

There were a few times I wished Fred was back there pass blocking.

Neither could they. I don't think disagreeing that they will "rip us a new one" is underestimating them by any means. No need to argue though, we will be able to see the actual game in a few short weeks.

Oh yeah, we discount the actual game we played against them, and give tons of weight to the epic wins against the Titans and Texans Every game is it's own matchup. Tannehill is scared of our defense. He admits it.

Manuel and a mid round draft pick. Not enough? Then take care of your own problems!

Any link to your grapevine? Rex said he is confident Tyrod will be ready Week 9. And they haven't practiced or anything since then so....

Because there is an argument for the inconsistency of the officiating. If you are going to call pass interference on Robey the play before, then you better damn well call clear and obvious holding on Jacksonville the next play.

Two game deciding calls right in a row. 3rd and 15? Meh give it to them, its our fault we are down. Game winning TD? Meh give it to them, its our fault we are up.

The person I was watching with called it. The officials didn't. How does this happen?

Probably, but Rex has had zero leeway on any front in his first 2 games as coach let alone a season or two to build something.

Agreed. At this point Rex is love him or hate him, and the hate him crowd sees an opportunity to rail on him for every little thing. (Even charging headsets ) I fear it will always be this way with Rex.

These are the types of calls I think a challenge would help. Challenges are limited so it's not like everyone would be challenging every called penalty, but if a coach sees a blatantly bad call, he should be able to throw the red flag for officials to take another look. The officials can still make the judgement call that there was hand swatting, and bumping and whatnot and uphold the penalty, but it would help reverse penalties called in error especially critical ones such as this.

I think people just need to take a break and breathe.

In my opinion there is a huge difference between what was not called, that should have been, and what was called but should not have been. Everyone is looking for consistency, but the officials should not be affecting the game as much as they are with no course for correcting flags thrown in error.

So the only reason you would buy a jersey or season tickets is if we were guaranteed in your realist view that there was a very large chance we were going to the super bowl? To each their own, but I have season tickets to go support my team, and enjoy the game of football. Not because I have some sense of winning as an inevitability. You can have perspective and still hold out hope too. For example I think they still have a shot for the playoffs. Is this some Disney related fantasy? No. It is based on likely getting Watkins, Tyrod, Karlos, Miller, and Henderson back. Maybe Harvin, unless he decided to take more games off contemplating retirement. It is based on the defense making 4 goal line stops in a row, then proceeding to force three 3 and outs, then a pick six, then what would have been another stop had it not been for official interference. We lost but our team showed a lot coming back from this deficit. I firmly believe had it not been for EJ's 3 turnovers, we would have easily won this game. So being the realist that I am, I am objectively looking at how the team performed despite the loss rather than looking at the team through the looking glass of a loss.

It's rare that they overrule each other. But I am saying it should have been reviewable. If no other officials were around the play, which in looking at the All-22 it seemed there weren't then upstairs should have called down and said, you messed up, pick up that flag. If they don't want upstairs officials constantly overruling downstairs officials then get better on field officials. But seriously, if they don't want that, then institute challenging penalties into your 2 challenges for the game. Obviously don't allow challenging to get a penalty flag thrown, but they need to allow for some corrective ability for these terrible calls. They can still make their judgement calls in these situations.

The problem is that these plays aren't reviewed. So they controlled the outcome of the game. Everyone can talk about them being judgement call and they can't question judgement calls but at the end of the day, they should've been able to get together and talk and ask if that was actually PI. Or at least the people upstairs watching call down on it. They can still make their "judgement" calls but all I am asking is not to be screwed on the blatant miscalls.

The point isn't to be right.

Yeah that's what people said last year after we lost to the chiefs and dolphins. And we were competitive in the playoff hunt in the end. Everyone abandons the season too early. It is almost as if we are in a rush to declare the season lost. First person gets a prize! Part of the experience is living through each win and loss. We were never guaranteed a playoff spot. We will be healthy off of the BYE week and we will see what happens then, because that is the only way to actually know - to actually play the games. Case in point I am sure most of you abandoned any chance of us winning the game today after they were up 27-3. It certainly felt that way. But that is why you play all 4 quarters and all 16 games.
