When Soliai gave Johnson(Im not sure who it was) a little love tap, they called him for holding and Fouts was shocked to the point he said, paraphrased, "Thats how these players in this league get so good, so quick". My goodness, it always seems like the refs want Ricky to get injured because they wait sooo dam long to blow the whistle when he's jammed in a pile but for Chris Johnson, and yes I looked at the play over and over again on my DVR, they blew the whistle at the first second a pile was about to form. That should have been a fumble.
Johnson was being held IN THE AIR by our defenders. It was the right call. Ricky was on the ground, moving in a pile, so they didn't blow it dead. Completely different scenarios. Posted via Mobile Device
hahahah.....these two responses are not what the OP was referencing. It was a play in 4th QTR when PS dropped off LoS into short zone, and reached and made contact with CJ inside allowed area (barely hand checking him) but the ref called holding. You two are talking about the last play in OT prior to FG try. funny....
I was at work and only caught the end of the 4th + overtime and some of the second quarter. My fault.
I was too busy laughing at Fouts' "Tony Soprano" and calling Tyrone Culver Gibril Wilson a THIRD time (after they had corrected themselves TWICE) on that open field tackle of Chris Johnson to save a sure TD.
The announcers do that every ****in week. They never get Culver's name right. When he's in on defense he's Gibril Wilson and on special teams he's Jason Allen. Every week. Also, who could think anyone would ever call something the PatCat. That's so dumb.
That fumble was a bad no call. This same thing happened in one of the GB-Vikings game (I think) where Clay Matthews stripped the ball in a pile and took off for 6 points. Only difference is this is the Dolphins and we haven't gotten calls our way all year.
He was falling backwards to the ground when it came out. IT DOESNT MATTER if he was still up or even trying to go forward. His forward progress was stopped permanantly for the play. Now if you can show me the ball out before he was driven backwards I retract that statement.
