Patriots only have two wins no?Congrats to all of Dolphins fans, you got a win over a team with more than 2 wins for the first time. You and the Panthers managed it the same week. I’m not bitter

Refs were horrible but the Pats were awful and had no real chance, not with Mac and that offenseThis pretty much sums it up.
Fair point.It’s getting closer every week though.
Call on JC gave Miami a TD instead of a FG, that was early with the game in balance.does anyone think the refs materially affected the outcome here? I sure don't
Is this the whole test, whether it was outcome determinative? Impossible to definitively establish in most situations, and precluding a more competitive enjoyable game has value, this being an entertainment product and all.does anyone think the refs materially affected the outcome here? I sure don't
Do you really believe this? I mean, honestly, you truly think this is what happened in this game?Because the refs to day decided before the game to make sure Miami won.
Just a pathetic display by the refs across the board, in every game.Bingo.
NFL officiating is absolutely awful. Only the NBA is worse.
I just turned it on, that play (and the bad UNS) are the only ones I saw.That play I get, but the zebras sucked today legitimately. It was a very bad day for them.
That’s former Syracuse QB bust Tommy DeVito, sir!And NYG are winning with a guy named DiVito/s
What? I have 2 TV running Sunday ticket. No problemsThe Athletic is reporting on widespread YTTV Sunday Ticket issues.
Some would argue the officiating is questionable because it is a sport that people wager on.The officiating needs to be better in a sport that idiots wager on.
You are correct, I shouldn’t be this high at 1 in the afternoon. Panthers beat them to it! Fr though the team is fraudulent. Whoever claims it first I’ll bet $100 to Jimmy fund dolphins don’t win a playoff gamePatriots only have two wins no?
Absolutely 100%. The officiating today was that bad and one-sided. I would never have guessed it could be this obvious.Do you really believe this? I mean, honestly, you truly think this is what happened in this game?
Yeah they don’t favor teams. We disagree on that.Just a pathetic display by the refs across the board, in every game.
Constantly missing calls, making inconsistent calls, favoring one team over another, just screwing up spots constantly, and always throwing game changing flags on 3rd and 4th down for favored NFL teams like Dallas or the Chiefs.
i didnt say its "the whole test" whatever that means. it obv makes it less enjoyable, I am just sayin the team sucks and wouldve lost anyways.Is this the whole test, whether it was outcome determinative?

Yeah I honestly don’t think officials in any major league care who wins. They’re just incompetent.Fair point.
My only disagreement with folks here is that I don’t believe for a second that the officiating is “biased”. The refs don’t have it in for the Pats, or any other team.
They’re just incompetent a LOT.
So the refs decided before the game to make sure Miami won, and otherwise NE would've won? Is that what you're saying?Absolutely 100%. The officiating today was that bad and one-sided. I would never have guessed it could be this obvious.
The lack of a call on the helmet to helmet on Parker sealed it for me. Nothing could have been more clear.
Pats lost because Dolphins are good and the Pats suck. The refs made some shitty calls but that's not why the Dolphins won.I have been. But this one is pretty bad too.
This is pure nonsense.Pats lost because Dolphins are good and the Pats suck. The refs made some shitty calls but that's not why the Dolphins won.
Officials in every major pro league do not make enough money to NOT be influenced by organized crime, IMOYeah I honestly don’t think officials in any major league care who wins. They’re just incompetent.
No, I am saying that the refs very obviously and clearly favored Miami in every possible way today, and it was blatant and obvious.So the refs decided before the game to make sure Miami won, and otherwise NE would've won? Is that what you're saying?
That QB draft is just sad now. 4 first round QBs that are not likely to get the fifth year option.Zack Wilson gonna Zack Wilson.
No doubt about that. Dolphins just outplayed them and have the better QB. I meant more that the reffing appeared completely incompetent today rather than just a little incompetent. I do not think it impacted which team won the game.Pats lost because Dolphins are good and the Pats suck. The refs made some shitty calls but that's not why the Dolphins won.
Do you think the refs PURPOSEFULLY favored the Phins, or do you think their incompetence led to the Phins being favored? That’s the key issue.No, I am saying that the refs very obviously and clearly favored Miami in every possible way today, and it was blatant and obvious.
In a fairly officiated game NE probably doesn't win, but I would have liked to see them get a shot at it. They didn't get that.
I think they favored Miami. That was very very clear.Do you think the refs PURPOSEFULLY favored the Phins, or do you think their incompetence led to the Phins being favored? That’s the key issue.
Lol. You obviously didn't watch the playoffs last year or any Chiefs game this year, particularly the Jets but every game, basically.Yeah they don’t favor teams. We disagree on that.
You guys look for it with the Chiefs because long ago you decided it’s a thing.
So you’re saying that before the game the officiating crew got together and decided to make calls that would intentionally favor the Dolphins. And all game they sought out opportunities to make calls that would disadvantage the Pats.I think they favored Miami. That was very very clear.
I think they might have had it in the backs of their minds initially due to the inbalace of flags in the PHI-Mia game and made sure that wasnt gonna happen to Miami today.
I think Miami got the benefit of a few calls, but they were also rawdogged last week by the officials in an almost unheard of fashion in prime time in front of the entire nation.Do you think the refs PURPOSEFULLY favored the Phins, or do you think their incompetence led to the Phins being favored? That’s the key issue.
I watch every playoff game and I watch the NFL all Sunday every Sunday.Lol. You obviously didn't watch the playoffs last year or any Chiefs game this year, particularly the Jets but every game, basically.
You’re a nasty double crosser mister.This is pure nonsense.
Right. It's an absurd accusation. NFL refs are terrible. But accusing them of purposely favoring one team over another is nuts.So you’re saying that before the game the officiating crew got together and decided to make calls that would intentionally favor the Dolphins.

It’s par for the course here.Right. It's an absurd accusation. NFL refs are terrible. But accusing them of purposely favoring one team over another is nuts.
Denial is the first stage of griefLook, for almost 20 years every fan base in the league said the refs favor the Pats. And then in every game thread here for almost 20 years people here believed the refs were completely biased against the Pats.
It's also 100% what happened today.It’s par for the course here.
Right, absolutely. They got fucked hard last week. WHICH IS WHY THEY MADE SURE MIAMI GOT THE BENEFIT OF THE CALLS TODAY.I think Miami got the benefit of a few calls, but they were also rawdogged last week by the officials in an almost unheard of fashion in prime time in front of the entire nation.
You should call the Boston FBI office then. What you’re suggesting happened is literally a crime.It's also 100% what happened today.
The Pats aren't a good enough team to make that sort of fuss.You should call the Boston FBI office then. What you’re suggesting happened is literally a crime.
It’s a felony. Match fixing. You have evidence, you need to call.The Pats aren't a good enough team to make that sort of fuss.
So an entirely different crew got together and said "Because of the mistakes of our colleagues, we're going to screw over another team and make things right." Or does this go all the way up to the league office? Will the Patriots get all the calls next week to make up for this game? Is this the manner in which all games are reffed, making up for the previous week's mistakes?Right, absolutely. They got fucked hard last week. WHICH IS WHY THEY MADE SURE MIAMI GOT THE BENEFIT OF THE CALLS TODAY.
This really isn't complicated.
