"We know how this thing goes. It goes (to) New York, and there's one guy looking at three games, and there's one guy looking at another three games. And they could tell us what they want, but for it to be expedited was shocking. I'm OK losing a challenge, but give me the courtesy of taking a look at it in the two-minute window."
"I'm not going to go through the crew and the guy that - it's his first year, and they made some good calls, Vrabel said. I'm sure that there's ones that they'd like to have back. And we tell (our players) going in, 'This crew, Dana over there, he calls the line of scrimmage tight.' And if he thinks that (Chaisson) is lined up in the neutral zone, and he's not going to warn him, and he's just going to go throw the flag -"
Mike Vrabel criticized multiple officiating decisions after New England's 33-27 win at Miami, focusing on a 23-yard completion to Jaylen Waddle that was not overturned on challenge. He said replay was expedited without a two-minute-window review and asserted Waddle did not survive the ground, a view echoed by CBS rules analyst Gene Steratore. Vrabel also questioned flags by rookie referee Alex Kemp's crew, disputing a first-quarter false start on Will Campbell and a defensive offsides penalty on K'Lavon Chaisson that lacked a warning. He acknowledged some correct calls but expressed frustration with judgment and inconsistent enforcement.
