Leg whip by Marcus Cannon

Karma you bitches.

 

[Cloudy]

Holding at least should have been called. Bigger issue is why throw a flag to begin with? Once it was thrown you have to call it.

That call basically giftwraps the game to the Pats after the previous shady call earlier in the drive. Can't do that to the home team

 

[Sanjuro]

That's the forth time on that.

On this? Why not?

This is how he does every postgame. That's the joke.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Bill giving death stares to everybody in the media.

 

[MechDX]

 

[Vanillalite]

I think he had a chance if he wasn't held.

Exactly why your wording hits. Should have just called holding not PI.

 

[linkboy]

The refs do have conferences and pick flags up. If it had been holding the flag would have stood, but with dpi the ball has to be catchable and it was so badly underthrown no way could Gronk have gotten to it. If the Panthers beat the Eagles for the wc then so be it. I want the Pats to lose every fucking game they ever play for the rest of time.

As of right now, the Eagles are the 4th seed due to them being in the lead in the East, the Wild Card is Carolina and San Francisco.

The first 4 playoff spots go to division winners, regardless of record.

 

[Arkos]

I think one thing that is under played is that Brady doesn't have the skill he used to. He doesn't have the accuracy that made him great, and his pocket presence is not what it used to be. Hes not terrible just not elite right now.

You could see it clearly on that last play, it was a bad throw

 

[MThanded]

On this? Why not?

This is how he does every postgame. That's the joke.

that was a quote

pipe down chief

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Because Kraft was the main person behind the current commissioner getting his job. What other explanation could there be.

And said commissioner burned evidence of their cheating ways and handed them a slap on the wrist.

 

[Afrikan]

Directly from the NFL rule book:

Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:

(c) Contact that would normally be considered pass interference, but the pass is clearly uncatchable by the involved players.


Gronk was never, ever going to be able to catch that pass. It was significantly under thrown.

 

[Spectral Glider]

It must be killing Ray Ray to sit and listen to two whiny QBs.

 

[CrankyJay]

I am pretty sure the Bills and one other team gift wrapped a win for you too with epic choke jobs.

Oh hell naw. How do you know the Pats weren't gifted a call against the Bills?

They only lost 23-21

 

[Coldnoodle]

Pats fans are crying a lot over a meaningless regular season game.

Your team was already given so many gifts this year, stop bitching and enjoy the wins you never should have had like against the Saints. I am pretty sure the Bills and one other team gift wrapped a win for you too with epic choke jobs. And let's never forget the Steelers generosity.

Get over it and prepare for another one and done at Foxboro. At least you can't lose to buttfumble this year but you might just lose to a red haired retard...

 

[JABEE]

Exactly why your wording hits. Should have just called holding not PI.

The ball was in the air when he was interfered with. I'm pretty sure it was DPI.

 

[unknownstranger]

Dude had Gronk in a bearhug. Are you just trolling me, or would you mind telling me what league you're watching?

He had his right arm basically faceguarding a throw. If you think the tiny amount of effort he put up with his left arm a bear hug then lol.

 

[Seda]

The Belichick conference was great, haha

 

[Bread]

He had his right arm basically faceguarding a throw. If you think the tiny amount of effort he put up with his left arm a bear hug then lol.

he had both of his arms around gronk

what are you even talking about

 

[greatestjediever]

The ball was in the air when he was interfered with. I'm pretty sure it was DPI.

Yeah I would agree with this. The only valid penalty would be DPI

 

[Bowser]

Fuck, this should be about Cam and offense coming through against a great Pats team in the clutch, but now we have this bullshit...

Ugh. Oh well, it's in the books, we get the W.

 

[Sanjuro]

that was a quote

pipe down chief

From what!?

 

[Cloudy]

Why did Gronk run the route so deep anyway?

 

[squicken]

Miguel, mech and I were all for the Pats? hmm

 

[effzee]

That call basically giftwraps the game to the Pats after the previous shady call earlier in the drive. Can't do that to the home team

What shady call?

 

[Hellion]

Brady is clutch no more.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

He had his right arm basically faceguarding a throw. If you think the tiny amount of effort he put up with his left arm a bear hug then lol.

You're approaching Yankeehater levels of stupid right now.

The win is forever!

 

[linkboy]

I have a feeling it was more of a bad pass from Brady then Gronk running his route wrong.

 

[Cloudy]

Fuck, this should be about Cam and offense coming through against a great Pats team in the clutch, but now we have this bullshit...

Ugh. Oh well, it's in the books, we get the W.

Yeah such bullshit. This is probably the most complete game I've seen from Cam and it gets sullied in this...

 

[unknownstranger]

You're approaching Yankeehater levels of stupid right now.

Your reaching Gata levels of salt right now.

[Bowser]

Fuck it, we got lucky.

After the past 2 years, after Nakamoron, after the PI that wiped away the Bills victory, after the Sucs scoring 17 straight points in the last 3 min and OT of the game last year, fuck it.

Sometimes you get lucky.

 

[Paches]

Old ass ref covers for his pals. Wonder how much of the money pot he gets to collect for the explanation.

 

[Cloudy]

What shady call?

The Dobson PI

 

[Sanjuro]

Congrats Panther fans on this Super Bowl victory.

At least this time they didn't kick the ball out of bounds on the final kickoff.

 

[Tom Penny]

Good Game. Pats got cam'd on 3rd downs and it cost them. Overall I thought both teams played pretty good.

 

[manfestival]

I just want to say that I really enjoy ray lewis being an announcer. dude has so much passion and seems to be less PC than the others

 

[DataStream]

Well that was the first interesting MNF game I've seen this year.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The Dobson PI

that wasnt shady.

 

[Cloudy]

Old ass ref covers for his pals. Wonder how much of the money pot he gets to collect for the explanation.

Someone just posted the rule here. Don't be such a homer

 

[Coldnoodle]

The Dobson PI

How the fuck was that shady?

 

[vikki]

Watch his feet. He never tried to step up and go after the ball.

Well, he is carried by Kuechly, but when he sees where the ball is going he tries to get to it, but is wrapped up. That much is clear.

At least there seems to be a pretty strong consensus from the commentators that it was a penalty.

 

[unknownstranger]

he had both of his arms around gronk

what are you even talking about

He had his left arm straight outside of about half a second. That NEVER gets called DPI unless you pull them with your off arm.

 

[MechDX]

Miguel, mech and I were all for the Pats? hmm

This week Im leaning towards the Lions or the Chiefs. Could just stick with the Pats again and become a lifelong

Dat Houston football curse!

 

[The Frankman]

Someone just posted the rule here. Don't be such a homer

Except Gerry Austin just explained it multiple times in ESPN. Not PI.

 

[Paches]

Someone just posted the rule here. Don't be such a homer

Lol, it was sarcasm/joke, look at my avatar.

Also, let us all enjoy a teary eyed Brady at the podium.

 

[Plasticine]

This week Im leaning towards the Lions or the Chiefs.

Dat Houston football curse!

Lions are a mighty fine team. You should give them all of your love.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Your reaching Gata levels of salt right now.

Thanks for proving my point.


Anyway, it was fun. Good game Bowser and Grover. Cam really broke our backs with those 3 longs scrambles on 3rd down every time on drives that went for scores. Great clean game for him and the O, not giving away a single turnover as well. That's like the first time in 70 games the Pats don't get one.

 

[Tenumi]

Looking at the NFL rule book, Yeah, I agree now it should have been defensive holding.

Love that the NFL has the rule book right on their website, by the way.
