They won the turnover battle today. They’re not losing games due to turnovers (it’s due to talent), although they’re going to get blown out if they lose the battle.

And they have a team built for the 2003 NFL instead of 2023. Bill playing pin the tail on the donkey while the rest of the league plays chess.

Bill mentions his players are protected like everyone else’s but points to a play that wasn’t flagged, and we all know about other plays in the game where guys got hurt that also weren’t flagged. Meanwhile the Dolphins got their flags and protection. So what is Bill talking about here?

I asked this last year and probably forgotten what the answer was....

Can a team or owner officially complain about the performance of the officials in any game or is this not allowed to be discussed. Surely there must be some process ?

He's being diplomatic, because he doesn't need the league fining him on top of it all, or inadvertently putting a target on them. I'm sure he's mentioned all of it behind closed doors through the appropriate channels. Not sure how much difference it makes, but it's probably the better route.

Yeah, if anyone can explain to me the difference between JuJu's hit on that play, and the hit on Parker that knocked him out of the game, I'd love to hear it.

Trent was holding the guy and released.

Is this the illegal motion play? How in the world did the refs miss that?

 

[Brotherblues]

I have plenty of complaints like everyone else but this ain't one. Forward progress was pretty clear regardless of whistle.

The most baffling one is not calling the helmet-to-helmet on the Parker hit even after discussing it. Just brutal. The PI in the endzone too. And the Zeke trip.

At any rate, sadly, the officiating didn't likely change the victor, just by how much they won.

I can't remember if this exists in the NFL too (I think it does...) but in the NHL there's a rule where, even if the puck crosses the line before the whistle (like on a goalie cover), if the ref was in the process of blowing the play dead, he can rule that it was dead. Basically, when you hear the whistle isn't necessarily exactly when the refs have deemed the play over. This one felt pretty late, but still falls enough into that grey area that it doesn't bother me in hindsight. You're right that the rest of the bad calls were far more egregious.

Even though there was no whistle he'll probably be fined for it. At least I hope so.
