Rhule certainly did well in college, but Temple and Baylor were both low expectation turnarounds. He seems a bit unhinged. That might play well for 20 year old college kids who had a chip on their shoulder because the top schools passed them over. Not sure how his act is gonna play in an NFL locker room.

Not so sure that what the official signaled was irrelevant. What other official was close enough to over-rule what the official in the end zone saw? He was staring right at the returner the entire time and was 5 yards away. The next closest official was at least 20 yards away and may not have been even watching the returner. They were interpreting what the closest ref saw. It should’ve went to replay with the call of touchdown being reviewed.

20 plus years ago I might’ve agreed with you. But wankers like Belichik spend thousands of hours reading through the rule book looking for an edge. You can’t use judgement when not allowed even when it looks obvious because d-bags like Belichik will exploit that and have his returner fake the handsign to his team and return the kick.

Your argument if you want to call it that has a thousand holes in it. There are clear rules how you give yourself up and he did none of those. When he catches the ball the play is live. It’s the same thing as not taking a knee on victory formation and tossing the ball to the ref. It’s a live ball and the ref on the field got it right.

The arguments if you can call them that for over-ruling the ref on the field are incredibly weak. Common sense and the player didn’t mean to do that about sums it up.

It wasn’t 1v1. Edmunds had already engaged and slowed him down.

The first 2 point conversion changed the entire game. Still being up by 2 scores with a quarter to go means your still comfortably in control. And all Poyer had to do was lower his shoulder to keep Watson out of end zone. You’d think he’d man up there after Watson dragged him 8 yards for the TD.

People ready to give up on him are morons. He’s right up there with Lamar, Mahomes, and Wilson as the most talented QB’s in the NFL. Improve the run game and give him some more weapons and watch him continue to blossom into a top a QB as he cuts out the stupid mistakes and learns when to take his shots.

Its not sour grapes. It’s what the NFL has become. You can’t selectively over-rule your own rule book when the Patriots have built a 20 year dynasty exploiting every rule. Yes, the Bills still should’ve won the game but that’s a completely separate issue.

All I know is the Bills and their fans are deserved an explanation of why the NFL overturned the proper call on the field and over-ruled their own rule book. If it takes a lawsuit for the NFL to own up, so be it. The blindside block by Ford was just as big of a call. Common sense says that wasn’t a penalty even though the ref correctly threw the flag. Everybody’s busy digesting and blaming our own team for a 2nd half meltdown, but the over-rule of a clearly correct call on the field is complete BS.

I thought the play was correctly reversed, but after watching the ESPN piece with Hasselback, he’s right. A rule is a rule. The ref on the field got it right. You can’t arbitrarily decide not to enforce a rule. The NFL is a goddamn mess. Now they change rules real-time depending on the circumstances.

Yep. Not the time for him to be asking for a new contract. He was charmin soft yesterday.

His left wrist kind of flops around when he runs. Watch his 40 from the combine. I wonder if somebody has research on how many of his fumbles are when the ball is in his left hand.

We need to get more physical on defense and more explosive on offense. Defensively we have a smart disciplined unit but we saw Philly, New England, and Houston in 2nd half push us around. I’m not sure you could say we have a physical presence anywhere in the back 7. Maybe #29. That dude hits people. Everybody in the back 7 has good cover skills but we need to mix in a couple guys back there who are more physical. Offensively, we need to surround Allen with some playmakers. Brown is a nice vertical weapon and Singletary is a good rotational RB and Beasley a good slot guy, but this offense needs a huge upgrade over Gore and a physical pass catcher that can get some Yards after the catch.

Morse. If he makes the block, Allen runs the ball into field goal range in OT. Poyer. If the guy could finish a tackle, the game is completely different at 16-6.

Poyer is trash

Jesus Christ. Poyer is so goddamn soft.

Our safeties are great in coverage but charmin soft when it comes to tackling. New England exploited that 2 weeks ago.

Haha. Houston with a panic challenge.

Well, who’s a better option for them at QB next year? They’re not getting Burrow who’s probably the only guy in the draft ready to play next year. Fitz doesn’t need to play anymore. If you don’t make him happy, you have a high probability of being worse next year. It’s easy for internet GM’s to mock this decision, but I guarantee every guy in the Miami locker room except Rosen approves of bringing Fitz back.

When you miss this spectacularly on a head coach, not sure why he should get the chance to hire another one.

I agree that it would be surprising if we don’t draft a WR in the 1st round. Add a fast RB like a Kenyan Drake in Free Agency. Brown, Beasley, 1st round WR, 2nd year Knox, healthy Kroft, Drake and Singletary... this offense can take a leap.

I highly doubt they’re gonna pick up his 5th year option when they already voided his guarantees.

Not a FA, but I’d trade a 4th rounder maybe even a 3rd rounder for Fournette who’s on the last year of his rookie deal. He’ll be motivated, is still young, and is only a few years removed from being a top 5 pick.

I actually think this shows well on the Dolphins as an organization. They’re most likely gonna draft Tua who won’t be ready to play. Fitz brought them respectability this year. You don’t just tank and then suddenly expect young draft picks to turn an organization around. Ask Cleveland how that’s turned out. They’re clearly trying to make Fitz happy with the Gailey move and I think that is a hell of a lot smarter than starting over with a lesser placeholder than Fitzmagic.
