KingGibbs Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 LMAO. If that horrible call had been made against us I doubt if the OP would have the same sentiment had our players complained about it. In his presser Tom took the high road and said he made a bad throw and said there were no excuses. Tom Brady. One of the G.O.A.T. Why you mad?

EvilMonkeyBoy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The NFL ITSELF admitted it was the wrong call and apologized to the Patriots. How is that the right call? They admitted that the Jets should have been flagged for the same thing, not that the refs made the wrong call in that situation. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/27/nfl-admits-jets-should-have-been-flagged-for-field-goal-push/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr77 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 His momentum was pulling him away from the underthrown ball. It doesn't matter that the PI started near where the ball ended up, what matter is Gronk ran passed that spot, PI or not. He wouldn't have gotten back. If Gronk was trying for the ball and Kuechly interfered with him, they probably would have upheld it. But it looked like he was giving up. Kuechly was in his face and he just watched the INT happen. It has as much to do with what his body is doing as it does with where he's positioned. And he was just standing there. There was contact, the LB had his arms around him, but he wasn't getting bear hugged, he could have at least lunged for it. He wasn't getting bear-hugged? So it's only interference if it's a bear hug? Also, I view it as he was pretty much getting bear hugged. Actually, more of a bear-mauling. The sad thing is Gronkowski should have taken a dive. Then the original call (thrown flag) would have stood. Which is pretty pathetic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still illegal, but it plays into the fact that Gronk didn't bother to fight for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not rocket science. They admitted that the refs should have penalized the Jets earlier in the game, not that the call against the Pats at the end of the game was wrong. That's what he's talking about, he was claiming that the NFL admitted that the call against the Pats was the wrong call, which they never did. If a ref misses a holding call early in the game that doesn't mean they can't call holding at any other point of the game because "Anything goes now" It's not rocket science.

jp03 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 By rule it wasn't holding, here's why: http://www.patspulpit.com/2013/11/19/5121100/rules-breaking-down-the-final-play They admitted that the refs should have penalized the Jets earlier in the game, not that the call against the Pats at the end of the game was wrong.

If a ref misses a holding call early in the game that doesn't mean they can't call holding at any other point of the game because "Anything goes now" It's not rocket science. You know, as I read this I'm more convinced now than ever it was PI. That ball was PROBABLY uncatchable, but the defender still cannot impede the progress of the receiver to the ball ESPECIALLY when he is not even looking at the ball. If NO defenders were in the way, you don't think the receiver would have made at least a play on that ball? I do admit ..he never would have caught it as he would have had to go through 38...but its still illiegal to impede that progress...would have been a crappy call for the Panthers but the right call.

Destino Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Look where Gronk is when his posture shifts and he clearly intends to come back to the ball, compare that to where the ball actually lands, and note Gronks height and wingspan. Could he have caught it with that defender there? Probably not but that's not "uncatchable" as he certainly could have made an attempt at the ball. What prevented him from doing so was the defenders contact not allowing him to come back towards the ball. That should have been a penalty and the Pats have every right to be upset that not only did they not call it but they picked up the flag after it was correctly thrown.

RocketCitySkins Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 He could have made an attempt but Robert Lester clearly had position on the ball. Since Lester caught the ball low, Gronk would have had to push him out of the way to even get to it and it would have been an OPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I can agree with no pass interference. But one of two calls could have been made. Face guarding- he never turned around to look at the ball. Or Illegal Contact while the ball was in the air. Bad call and the Pats got jobbed.

Big Weirdo Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Tom Brady the most successful sore loser in the past 13 years. I wish I was as sore of a loser as he is. I am actually except I've never won anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Brady had a right to be mad. I can see the no PI call but what about illegal contact or holding. That's a major call and could have implications with playoff seeding down the road for NE. We just had a no call in the endzone on Reed that cost us a game and I was blowing a gasket too for an hour or so after that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 On top of that highly questionable call, Schefter reported on twitter today that the clock operator ran an extra 4 seconds off the clock after the Panthers TD before that final possession. Would have been enough for an extra play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doncherry Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd rather he be a sore loser than non chalant. At least he gives a crap. Some of the all-time greats in sports were sore losers. Not accepting defeat is what drives them to excellence. Exactly. Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
