Shame of the Game - Jets

None this week, folks

Martin gets it by himself this week.  The guy's starting to look like a revolving door in pass pro.

^^I didn't see the game, but I could have sworn I saw Martin on the left side of the line in a replay. Did Long get hurt?

Not that I know of, Pappy.  More likely they were running that tackle-over formation or it was some kind of short yardage deal.  The only injury we sustained that actually kept anybody out of the game for any significant length of time was Tannehill.

The guy blocking in the RG position, if I remember correctly, was screwed either way. Two guys were coming and he could only block one of them. I don't think I can blame him, short of tripping the other guy, there was nothing he could have done.

Gaffney dropped a TD pass so he is as good as any.

BTW ... Clyde Gates was 7 catches for 82 yards .... WTH is that?

[Spider-Dan]

Those catches were nearly all in garbage time.  He's welcome to them.

Cam Wake drew my ire in the first half when he sacked Sanchez, and instead of trying to pick up the fumbled ball that was almost directly under him, he jumped up immediately in celebration.  Don't celebrate before the play is over.  You gotta play through the whistle before you dance. 

Sure it's kinda nit picky on my part, but there wasn't much else to criticize about this great, total team victory.  Obviously, this was no big deal and Cam Wake is still awesome, but the play irked me at the time.

Me. For sticking up for the green team's OC when he was our HC.

Seriously, can't give out a SOTG for a truly dominant performance.

Although it didn't affect the outcome of the game, I give it to the ref who missed the pass interference call against Bess. The replay showed he not only reached for his flag but he had it pulled out of his pocket and above his head before tucking it back away. I've never seen a ref with a reaction like that in my life. It either is or isn't a penalty and you certainly had the flag out to call one.

I saw 3 terrible calls go against the Dolphins this week, 2 that weren't made and 1 that was.  This continues a trend we have been seeing.

There were 2 blatant pass interference calls that should have been made.  In both cases, the defensive back ran over the Dolphin receiver.  They never turned around to face the ball.  The "made" call was Cromartie's missed a tackle in the flat against Bess.  The ref blew the whistle and called "forward progress".  That was a terrible call that stalled a drive on 3rd down. 

I don't buy into the conspiracy theory about refs actively working on the side of one team; but Miami sure has been getting some terrible calls, including replays that look conclusive, but still go against the Dolphins.   I'm hoping that it all balances out and we start getting some of the close calls.

The NFL should start acting like the ACC and taking action against officials who make bad calls like that.  Three officials from ACC crews were suspended this past Saturday because of their calls/non-calls the previous Saturday.
