Hate to say it but.......

[Semaj]

Unfortunately the biggest play of the game was the catch that was called incomplete.  Completely changed the momentum of the game and actually directly led to 7 points for the ponies after Cam fumbled.  I hate that the NFL officials had such a big hand in the outcome.  That being said we still could have won this game,  Remmers was garbage, the special teams did nothing good the entire night.  Shula went back to being bad Shula.  How many runs up the middle on first down do we want to run for no gain that puts us in 2nd and long?  He actually did it to start the last meaningful drive of the game with about 4 minutes left.  We should have gone full no huddle in the 4th quarter and wore their defense out.  They wouldn't have had time to catch their breath.  Oh yeah, back to the &*#$ you NFL officials.  I can't think nothing but the worse when a play that obvious gets called wrong.  Show me where that ball hit the ground for a second.  Post the pic.  Go ahead.  It doesn't exist.  That play really defined our night and got the ball rolling for the Donkies.  Still a fan and will be for life. Keep pounding fellows.

Once that play happened, I just knew what kind of game it was going to be. It was obvious from the start.

fug the refs. Catch had 3 big drops

[Dave Gettleman's Shorts]

can someone explain to me how that was incomplete but that 4th down play against the colts was consider a catch????

[ThPantherFan]

Yes, the refs made some lousy calls.  The biggest problem, in my opinion, was shula's play calling.  Should have let Cam call them on the field.  Cam wouldn't call a run up the middle every first down.

The refs didn't cause this loss.

Rivera and Shula not being prepared for this game caused this loss.

I understand what your saying, but you cant say that missed call that led to a net -7 points didnt have an impact.   Yes there were many variables, but that one imho was too much to overcome.  Our players did have a role in this outcome.  Absolutely.  Like I said, we still could have won, it just became a hell of a lot more difficult once the refs gave them that kind of momentum.  We will never know, but I would have liked to see the refs have no influence whatsoever on the outcome.  The did though.  Nobody can deny that.  We may have gone down and scored 3 or 7 points, instead cam fumbles and they score.  Huge missed call by the refs, that is simply unexplainable.

The plays took way too long to develop.  With this fast defense they should have adjusted for quicker routes and passes to the safety valve.  Cam had time in the pocket all year and we were use to it...tonight they were just so fast we couldn't hold that defense back.

I didn't say that they did.  However, nobody can deny that that blown call had huge implications on the game.  We could have still won had the offense not been complete garbage and shula didnt go back to being bad shula.  Run up the middle, Run up the middle.  I wanted to scream.   There was just so much wrong with that game.

The ENTIRE team lost. We got our asses absolutely kicked. Cam looked like a dazed piñata.  Running game was vapid. Wrs looked like they were 40 yrs old.

The D came to play and that was it. Awful fumbles that killed momentum. 

We got beat left and right.

Biggest play of the game was fumble sack TD for Denver at the beginning. Put us down double digits early, and stunned us. After that they pinned back and rushed those edge rushers the rest of the game because Shula went back to the old Shula. No designed runs for Cam, no screens to help soften those rushers keeping them on their toes.

True but it would have not happened had the refs not screwed us on the no catch.  We were pinned back because they called that incomplete.  So the blown call led directly to the defensive td that they scored.  Just saying.

We lost because Stewart didn't give the touchdown ball away.  Heehee!

[gettlolman]

Unfortunately as much as that call changed the game, the people and history books will never remember it. it all comes down to our shitty GM screwing us over with horrible personnel.
