Officials or announcers?

I'd say the officials, because I still don't know how in the holy fug that after going under the hood for a review that the ref concluded that the Miami player caught the ball when he lost the fugging ball going to the ground.

 

You can mute the idiot broadcasters, but you're stuck with the officiating crew.  At least they picked up that flag on Luke; the hit was clean and led with the shoulder to the upper body.

All I know is Ryan kept hyping up #42 for the Dolphins all game and dude didn't do jack.

 

Also I'm curious how professional referees can overturn that incomplete pass.  Most obvious case of not controlling the ball I've ever seen.  The refs were God-awful.

 

You noticed that to?  After hearing the commentary, I was thinking Clay (#42) was a first round, perennial pro bowler.  Then I realized it was the first time I ever even heard of the guy.  That was probably the most hype I heard on one player that didn't deserve it

 

 

Yet I did notice Billick wasn't there in the booth.  We should get on the NFL for that one.  We got to keep the winning pattern going, and Billick is our guy. ;-)

Which one was worse today?It's been awhile since I had this kind of rage watching a game. Officials missed or made many terrible calls and myers and Tim Ryan seemed to be openly cheering for the dolphins at times.

 

I don't knwo which one was worst but it was fun watching the Announcers criticize the an area where they saw the Panthers weren't playing well and then the team would come out on the next drive and quited them. It was like they team was hearing what they were saying. Ex: they started to talking about how little Rush Yards was in this game compared to the others, then Cam came out and took the team to the endzone with both his feet and his arm. They started commenting on how much the Dolphines Offense had an answer for the Panthers' defense. The defense then turned around and held down Tannenhill and the Dolphine Offense for the next two qrters.

The worst were the officials. On nearly every play they were spotting the ball short. Sometimes a quarter yard, sometimes a half yard, but even worse I saw the ball spotted two yards short of where the play ended. We probably lost something like 30 yards on the day to those short spots, one of which cost us a first down. Most notably about that, not only did the ref who was spotting the ball for the chain gang move the ball back about .3yd, the ref in charge of lining the marker up with the 25yd line on the chain put the marker behind that yard line by a good foot. Guess how much we missed that first down by.

I don't know if you guys have heard this "controversy" reported by ESPN where the Panthers clock crew rand time off the clock against the Patriots that cost them another play. Because you know, after we intercepted the ball there would have been 3 seconds left....Apparently ESPN was reporting it pretty hard and NFL.com too. The problem is the Panthers don't control the clock, the referees do on the field. The magic of television is that the clock you are looking at isn't always accurate. But I love that the Saints fans are over there whining about us. Every thread is about those cheating Panthers. They scared.
