denver is stupid. his knee was down. so if that was a catch, then it's pats ball first down at the 5. there is no scenario in which the broncos would get the ball here

 

[Digital-Hero]

Broncos got this ball.

 

[LyleLanley]

Let's see how good that Kraft money is. Call it a catch and Amendola down for the first down.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Should be a turnover but NFL is stupid.

 

[Salaadin]

To me it looked like the ball came out after the knee was down?

I think so too

 

[jmdajr]

Sugar is poison.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Why are they going for it again?! Fuck man, if they chose FGs it be 18-20 -_-

 

[crazyprac]

Bad challenge. Never had control

Good challenge.

Catch rule

 

[Eleuin]

hochuli pls

 

[TheFatOne]

Isn't his knee down before the ball comes loose tho? That might actually help the Pats...

Never had control so it shouldn't matter. No catch.

 

[Beach]

Challenge backfire should be right call if anything

 

[friskykillface]

knee was down?

 

[boxter432]

This will backfire on Denver. I think he had control and was down.

It's definitely closer to that than a catch and fumble.

 

[Instro]

Terrible challenge. Either he was already down, or the ball wasn't controlled for long enough to be a completed catch.

Seriously, gonna laugh of they call it a catch and down.

 

[Ricker]

Wait,why challenge that,nobody recovered it anyway..,

 

[distantmantra]

The NFL doesn't know what a fucking catch is anymore.

Anymore? They never did.

 

[Haloid1177]

That's either a catch and down or incomplete.

 

[DataStream]

If that was a catch, he was down. Denver made a huge mistake challenging that play.

 

[Lkr]

they're not over turning this lmao

 

[Line_HTX]

Jim Nantz, what are you trying to say there?

HUH?!

 

[M_A_C]

bad challenge, they might give them the 1st :/

 

[JustHadToJoin]

Watch the refs call it a completed pass, and say he was down before the fumble.

but that's the only other outcome. its not a fumble... stupid challenge

 

[DTU]

Not only is that not a fumble, but it's a catch and down.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Kubiak cracking. Terrible challenge.

 

[Xplatformer]

Incomplete.

 

[CrispyBoar]

He caught the ball, then it was a fumble.

 

[LycanXIII]

If it's a completed pass, he's down before the ball is loose.

 

[RurouniZel]

Denver will win the challenge and give the Pars the 1st down lol

 

[Kastrioti]

DeMarcus Ware looked like he was lined up offsides on that last play.

 

[Pepiope]

Yep I knew they were gonna challenge that.

Good challenge too. I mean might as well try.

The challenge is gonna bite them in the ass potentially. If NE ties it up then you're down one TO on the GW drive....if you believe Peyton can still lead a GW drive....

 

[tmdorsey]

Denver might not have wanted to challenge that cause you make the case it was a catch he was down before the ball came out.

 

[Jopie]

If thats a catch, he is down by contact. Nothing can happen here that is good for Denver.

 

[Redd]

Not a catch. Dumb challenge imo.

 

[Futureman]

If he DID catch it, looks like his knee was down and it would be no fumble first down. Bad challenge.

 

[brentech]

His leg was down before the fumble. Such a waste.

 

[Purdy]

Wtf dumb by Denver, wouldn't be a fumble

Incomplete though

 

[ColdPizza]

This will backfire on Denver. I think he had control and was down.

Looks that way.

 

[KingBroly]

If that's a catch, his knee was down.

 

[whytemyke]

Smart challenge by Denver. I think it's incomplete but if the refs decide it's a fumble it's game over.

 

[Talamius]

You can make an argument for complete and then knee down before the fumble, this could be a horrible challenge.

 

[Elfforkusu]

denver is stupid. his knee was down. so if that was a catch, then it's pats ball first down at the 5. there is no scenario in which the broncos would get the ball here

But on the other hand, I don't know that many have accused Kubiak of being a genius.

 

[Goro Majima]

Not that bad of a challenge though...

Clock stops either way, just gives New England more time to tinker or overthink it

 

[slightconfuse]

Considering that no one knows what a catch is might as well

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

knee was down?

I didn't see that, ball was moving a lot, no way it's overturned to complete pass

 

[Duxxy3]

Either incomplete or complete and down. I'd say call on the field stands.

 

[Crisco]

Ummmm, if he had posession, wasn't he down? Dumbest challenge ever lol

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

This is a stupid challenge on every level.

 

[GalacticToast]

Brady is going to go down as a fraud

Fraud with 4 Super Bowl rings. How will he sleep at night?

 

[TheAbsolution]

That's a fumble. Easy challenge there
