He probably wasn't originally, but the obsession with being the only undefeated NFL team has turned all those '72 Phins players & coaches into smug jerks.

there is a disputed claim that the '72 Dolphins throw a party every time an undefeated team loses late in the season. they think they're the greatest team ever, despite going 17-0 with a schedule that featured, what, 2 teams with winning records?

ooo IC. so its the '72 fins team (and celebration) you dispise. I can understand that. I thought you just hated Larry.

They had the game won until Billick went and called the timeout right before the Ravens stopped the Patriots on 4th and 1. I really want to feel sorry for the Ravens, I just can't.

 

The timeout did turn out to be a bad idea, but Billick made a good point in the press conference that he'd be roasted had he not called a timeout even though the Ravens had the wrong personnel for what they thought the Pats were going to run. They got lucky on the stop, but the timeout (which was probably the smart thing to do) canceled out that luck.

 

It still doesn't excuse the horrific "holding" penalty the refs handed to the Pats.

 

Saw a replay on SportsCenter where they showed a view from behind the Pats line of the play and the Pats WR did appear to be held after the 5-yard limit.

It was holding.

 

possibly, but that type of "holding" occurs on just about every play.

 

I understand where you're coming from here. However, the guy was making contact past 5 yards and Watson was visibly held going into the endzone. Maybe they don't call it every time, but if you are going to make obvious contact with a guy going into the endzone and he's thrown the ball, you run a pretty good chance of picking up a holding call. I'll grant that it was a little ticky tack, but not deserving of all the hair pulling and teeth gnashing that I'm seeing.

 

Let's put it this way -- you could probably go to the game tape of every game played in the NFL this year and find a couple plays exactly like it where no flag was thrown. You're right, it could be called. It's kind of like holding along the OLine; it probably only gets called 20% of the time if we want to go right to the rulebook.

 

I think it's sad though that the refs didn't call this all game long and then suddenly whipped out the flag on the most important play of the game. The inconsistency is what bothers me the most. Even Randy Moss said the Ravens were playing like that all game. So if they don't throw the flag earlier, how are the Ravens to know how they need to play? It's like the strikezone in baseball -- consistency is most important.

 

I'm sort of torn on the Pats. I really don't like them, but I think I like the '72 Dolphins less. So I won't be upset if they win out. At least we won't have to hear champagne corks popping from Miami every year anymore.

But MST3K's The Final Sacrifice wouldn't have been as great without Larry.

 

Besides, spite is no reason to root FOR Boston.

[Soul]

Not really rooting FOR them, I just won't mind seeing the '72 Phins have to shut up.

I think it depends on the level of spite.

Indeed.

If the Pats do go undefeated maybe the 72 Fins can suit up one more time on the NFL Network and play them for all the marbles!
