stevestojan Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 you know when it takes the official 30 seconds to explain the review, something is wrong...the official says there is no way to tell who recovered the ball. Funny, a dolphin got up and handed him the football. The strangest part is, no TD, no touchback, just a "well we can't figure it out, so give it to him at the 1/2 yard line..."????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT2twDBUT9c http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/25/sports/football/25dolphins.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 How could they not figure it out when the entire stadium saw the Miami player come out of the pile with the ball? Another terrible job by the NFL refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That is horrible...its fairly evident from the video attached that the dolphins had their hands on it first and the fact that they came out of the pile with it...Are the Steelers the new Patriots* in the eyes of the NFL and just give it to them???

Dan Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 My buddy, who's a Fin fan, was texting me throughout the game. He was flipping over to the Bills game. I flipped over to the Fin game just in time to see that the last of that series. Talk about a complete screw job! I told him at the time, the Refs would find a way to give it back to the Steelers because they're supposed to win. Sure enough we get the... we don't really know who got it so what the hey, let's give it to who's supposed to win anyway. Seriously, it's so hard not to believe the NFL is fixed sometimes when you see calls like that. It was blatantly obvious what the right call was, and there goes the Ref completely blowing it. Either he was on the take or he's completely incompetent. Either way he shouldn't be involved with another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Corky Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The blowfish got screwed? Who cares. The whole nation has been getting a major screwing the last 21 months and you're worried about the fishheads? Get a friggen life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Blow call that changed the result of the game. Really bad officiating. Terrible job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninFl Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Reasonable response. If it happens to the Dolphins 100 more times, they will be tied with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The sooner the NFL gets rid of replay the better. That video is 6 and a half mins long. after all that they still make the wrong call. Id rather just live with the wrong call in real time than have them stop the game, review it (where the refs arent even able to watch the play in slow motion) then get the call wrong still. At least it seems less rigged if they dont review it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I heard that 2 of the officials for that game live in Pittsburgh .... "err, did you see anything?" said one Steeler fan/ref to the other "who me?" said the other Steeler fan/ref. "nope, nothin'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it seems less rigged if they dont review it. As much as the refs get stuff wrong replay does close that margin big time. How many times have you watched a game and replay has overturned a horrendous call and it has meaningfully impacted the game? It happens a lot its a good tool for the officials to use its just the officials don't use it correctly most of the time. As much as I hate the Fins I don't like to see a team get so blatantly screwed. For one team to get screwed out of a game they rightfully should have won and for another to get a win when they should have lost is just wrong. The Steelers and Pats* get their way with the officials its the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) New?? Did you miss Super Bowl 40? Totally. Doesn't everyone understand that if Big Ben gets inside the 1 it's automatically a TD? I've seen it at least one other time too but can't remember when.

Jim in Anchorage Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Uh Reddog we got ya the first time I agree with those who say it was the fish good for em. Great call IMO. Only way it would have been better would be it happened against the jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
