To begin, I think many Dolphins fans agree that the roughing the passer call was ticky-tack. However, it doesn’t matter.

For one, Golden Tate pushed off on that catch that set up Seattle’s first TD. Why the announcers and subsequent media response has been merely that it was a ‘great catch’ is beyond me. The defense was that their ‘feet got tangled’, which would be no penalty if that is all it was. However, Tate put his hands on the defender and used them to separate himself, which is pushing off, as the defender also went crashing to the ground. That is a flag, regardless. Golden Tate is famous for pushing off, and that play should not have stood.

Secondly, it’s foolish to argue that a bad call ‘turned a game’ due to a little something called ‘chaos theory’. if a call was made correctly, the subsequent events would change, and nobody has any way of knowing how they would have panned out. You can’t merely just subtract points from the board and go “hey look, without this we win!”. The only exception would be a bad call that happened on the final play, since there is no further gameplay impacted…and even then, I don’t believe in ignoring the first 59 minutes of play.

If the interception had stood for Seattle, there would have been no kickoff return for a touchdown on the subsequent play since there was no kickoff. Had Seattle been forced to punt, Miami would have had the ball moments later with a chance to tie…just like they did in the actual game on Sunday. It would have merely been 14-7 instead of 21-14.

(a) a foul by either team that prevents the snap (i.e., false start, encroachment, etc.)

(b) intentional grounding;

(c) an illegal forward pass thrown from beyond the line of scrimmage;

(d) throwing a backward pass out of bounds;

(e) spiking or throwing the ball in the field of play after a down has ended, except after

a touchdown; or

(f) any other intentional foul that causes the clock to stop.

None of that happened so no 10 second run off so get over it. And regarding the personal foul, the interception probably wouldn’t of happened if Earl Thomas didn’t lunge into Tannehills line of sight so quit saying “bad call” because the seahawks also got a pass on what could of easily been an offensive pass interference call on that great Tate catch. Take the loss, blame it on your defense not on the refs.

I don’t care if the Seahawks benefited from the replacement ref call, this was still a botched call today by the refs….a 10 second run off not counted when the Dolphins won on a FG with 4 seconds left.

This coming from a Cardinals fan….”

Cardinals fan obviously didn’t watch the game. The reason there was 4 seconds left on the clock is because the Dolphins let the clock run on their last play. They called the timeout with only 4 left so there wouldn’t be an ensuing kickoff.

First, the 10 second run-off only applies to a false start. The call was illegal shift. Not to mention the fact that it wouldn’t have mattered anyway because Miami let the clock run down from 20-something seconds before calling time out and kicking the field goal.

Second, sure the roughing the passer penalty was a little ticky tacky. But it was the correct call based on the rules. You cannot leave your feet to hit the QB. You also cannot hit him in the head. Thomas did both.

Finally, the worst call of the game was obviously the non-call against Goldent Tate when he tackled the corner before making the 45 yard catch.

You lost to an up and coming team that is very similar to your own. But it’s tough to stomach because you started to believe your own hype just like us Dolphins fans were doing a few weeks ago. Deal with it.

Accept that cincy got handed the game by the the refs playing Hellen Keller. Ref gets that whistle right it’s a 7pt game and those ugly bengal jerseys are in trouble. Lets not forget tge phantom clipping call either. Have a seat at the same table as seattle… You deserve it

If you’re going to cheat to win, you can’t complain about a bad call going against you.

And what long time Dolphins fan doesn’t love the karma of beating (choking sign) Pete Carroll with a walk-off FG?

And Wilson choked in the clutch against an overmatched but courageous Dolphin team.

As mentioned, the seahawks were holding Wake on almost every play…. lucky the game was as close as it was. Road kill.

It wasn’t the Refs fault. It’s our inability to play away from Seattle, year after year. Hell, there was only 231 Dolphin fans in the stadium (which is pathetic Miami!), so it wasn’t like the environment is hostile. Seattle has young talent, but also a childish style of coaching and it shows on the road.

I have come to face the fact that Seattle is a 9-7 or 8-8 team, because of our home field advantage, but not good enough to make the playoffs.

Guess they weren’t ready for a heavyweight fight.

I don’t care if the Seahawks benefited from the replacement ref call, this was still a botched call today by the refs….a 10 second run off not counted when the Dolphins won on a FG with 4 seconds left.

This coming from a Cardinals fan….

Couple this with the Texans/Lions debacle and what do you get?

Meh, not much media coverage.

BTW, the 10 second runoff noncall wouldn’t have mattered.

However Hawks have no one to blame but themselves for that one, shoulda given up on running up the middle after the half and the LB’s in coverage got torched. Way to wasted a nice game by RW.
