It's a QB, all you need to do is get near them and they slide. No need for head lunges.

Not necessarily, a defensive player won't be running the risk of him running past him

Thomas treating this game like the Super Bowl.

 

[DarkFlow]

Not a penalty...Stanton wasn't a defenseless runner since he made a football move (dove head first - this is why your QB needs to slide). That and the tackler didn't launch himself (two feet were clearly planted on the ground).

It should have been unless helmet on helmet is cool now, but whatever it's moot.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Yeah, NFL refs seem to always rule that no catch.

Two feet down and he was controlling it when he touched the ground.

That's a fumble, imo. Very close, but a fumble.

Never had time to make a football move since the fumble/hit was almost instantaneous, no catch.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Catch

Thomas treating this game like the Super Bowl.

Thomas actually had a good game in the Superbowl.

 

[HylianTom]

My voice is gone. Hot damn.

Although the crowd didn't really get noisy until after Brees got suplex'd.

 

[Gully State]

It should have been, but whatever it's moot.

it isn't by NFL rules..

That and you're looking at the hit in slow motion. At game speed, dude was going low to take out his legs.

 

[rando14]

Holy shit Denver got SUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER lucky there

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Yes refs

 

[ActStriker]

as many cheers as boos, damn

 

[WesternHeretic]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS MAN!

 

[Colasante]

Patriots were terrible today. Just embarrassing.

 

[KumaJG]

Good call

 

[DarkFlow]

it isn't by NFL rules..

Helmet on Helmet is always a penalty...

 

[Godslay]

Could have went either way.

 

[Vandiger]

Welp, Manning rule still in effect.

 

[skLaFarebear]

This dolphins team looks so incompetent. What exactly have they done in the last year?

 

[massivekettle]

Broncos check cleared. FFS.

 

[AndersTheSwede]

"Did not uh... Have the ball long enough." Sure.

 

[red13th]

phew!

 

[sf2fanatic]

lol Petey!!

 

[Himynameischris]

Everything sucks.

yeah we are terrible, ross needs to blow it up again

 

[cdyhybrid]

Goodell making the call for league mascot Peyton.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

This dolphins team looks so incompetent. What exactly have they done in the last year?

The same thing they've done in the past 40 years. Losers lose.

 

[coy]

49ers showing up early is no surprise. Neither are the penalties or unstellar O-line.

Poor ref stumbling words on the mic.

 

[_woLf]

Welp, Manning rule still in effect.

Yup. Papa Johns pizzas for everyone in the NFL officiating room!

 

[rando14]

Could have went either way.

I can't be too mad I guess, better to be lucky than good!!

 

[MarauderShields]

lol Miami calling timeouts like they will do anything if the get the ball

 

[yodathesoda]

So moving the ball from two hands to one hand cradling it is not a football move?

Bullshit.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What is with DT??

 

[skLaFarebear]

All right philbin. Let them score/kick the field goal here, don't let tannehill run the two minute offense and go into halftime down by two possessions at home.

Sounds like a plan!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Hawks still get the ball yay

 

[Stuggernaut]

I love how the ref stuttered through that call lol.

 

[Fox318]

Peyton should cry to goodell and make him change the rules for him again.

 

[LoserMakesGood]

pathetic

 

[rando14]

Yay we got a stop

The same thing they've done in the past 40 years. Losers lose.

TDR I feel really awful for insulting the Dolphins earlier, I'm so sorry man

 

[ReignofSparrows]

Bullshit call imo, but it's huge to have the defense get a legit stop for once all year.

 

[MiamiWesker]

We suck fucking ass. I hate this team.

 

[chuckddd]

TOUCHDOWN, Fightin' Shanes!

 

[Godslay]

I can't be too mad I guess, better to be lucky than good!!

Motto to live by, won me a Shirtless championship.

 

[red13th]

3 and out yey.

 

[ShaneB]

TRAVIS FRICKIN KELCE!!!!!!!

 

[Bowser]

TOUCHDOWN, Fightin' Shanes!

They should reverse the call after that horrendous TD dance IMO :jnc

 

[Gully State]

Helmet on Helmet is always a penalty...

It isn't ..he wasn't using the helmet to spear or ram the player. And any incidental helmet to helmet contact is mitigated by the fact that Stanton was no longer a defensive ball carrier.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Yay we got a stop



TDR I feel really awful for insulting the Dolphins earlier, I'm so sorry man

Haha don't worry about it.

When's the draft, bros? Any good mocks out there?

 

[ZootedGranny]

Kelce doing the Shmoney dance was almost too much for me.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Hey Shane, the pep talk you gave the team it's working!!

 

[Vilam]

This dolphins team looks so incompetent. What exactly have they done in the last year?

Retained Joe Philbin for some inexplicable reason. He's shit.

 

[Patriots7]

Kelce doing the Shmoney dance was almost to much for me.
