White chalk came out of Ford's shoe. I agree w/ the call.

That's not what they say in England

Brutal call, bridge showing great touch today though.

Hard to believe FOX didn't get a better angle on that catch.

I know it's easy to say now but i would have liked to see PA to the TE on that 2nd and goal.

Yeah. Looked like they were checking his knee.

I don't understand the point of instant replay in the NFL if the instant replay doesn't product the correct call. Ford's foot never touched the white line and yet they don't overturn the call. May as well just go back to no instant replay if they can't use it to produce the correct result. They are just wasting time if they're going to uphold field calls at all costs.

Well, that ended up being a missed opportunity.

I wish Zimmer would have told the offense on second down to "Get out there and drive the ball in" and run the ball with Asiata again instead of settling for the FG. They didn't have far left to go. I know that's risky but I like the idea of showing that kind of trust in the OL and challenging them. It's not like a playoff spot is on the line anyway. It would have been nice to see a little extra aggression in that situation, although I absolutely understand why they took the points.

This. Total joke.

Bridgewater is clearly the best rookie qb in the nfl

Being a long time fan, i had visions of a turnover ran back for a Dolphins TD. They got points with :42 left so i wouldn't call it a completely missed opportunity. I think what's more important is what they do on the opening drive if the 2nd half.

He's pretty good isnt he? Slippery shiftiness of a presence back there.

The way my fantasy teams look, he may be the best "QB" on the field today.
