In 2006, NE was already up 21-3 and was driving for a clinching TD having just gotten a first down on the 18 with a Ben Watson catch. The refs called OPI on Troy Brown when it was actually the defender who initiated the contact by literally jumping right in front of him. NE's drive fizzled out from there.
Later in the game, they called DPI on Hobbs for faceguarding, which hadn't been in he NFL rule book for years. They also allowed Bethea to tackle Reche before the ball entered the screen on the TV. I mean that literally, Bethea had two arms around him and was bringing him to the ground so early that the ball doesn't come into view until after he starts going down. No call. That was a biggie because it would have been a tie game on NE's final drive.
Oddly enough, Bill Polian has yet to chastise the league for it's officiating in that game.
Why are dirtbags like Polian so popular with the NFL media? Warren Sapp is another one. When I hear some of these ass clowns start to talk I can't change the channel fast enough.
We're on the same game. I think the Hobbs call set up the game winner for Indy. That's the call that led to the story that the league sent Hobbs a letter of apology.
I thought the tying TD was scored on the series before that after a phantom PI call down the middle. It was a pretty long pass toward the right hash mark past midfield. I don't remember who it was on or who the WR was, but it was a big call at the time.
The Dolphins were 8--8 last year, not a winning record.The OP forgot the loss at Miami last season, that was painful and took us the HFA in the Afc championship game.
In the previous seasons I was not too much worried about that, but last season this team, with a lot of roster chances, rookies, etc...they were lacking toughness to win on the road. This year, after 9 games and still improving I think we have a good chance to win the rest of the regular season games. Green Bay's defense is pure garbage, Detroit are pretenders and San Diego are decimated by injuries. 14-2 it is, Skip Bayless was right.
