Revis vs Gamble

[Proudiddy]

Watching the MNF game, and we all know Revis' reputation as the best corner in the game precedes him... But, in watching the game tonight, I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between what he's doing in coverage that isn't getting called versus, for example, what we saw Gamble get called for in coverage yesterday?

Gamble was called for basically hand fighting with a receiver (past 5 yards)... In watching the game tonight, Revis was just covering Brandon Marshall and they were past 5 yards as well, and Matt Moore went to throw a back shoulder fade to Marshall in the endzone. Revis was basically holding Marshall the entire time, was on his back before the ball got there, then slapped the ball down through him.

How is that not pass interference but what Gamble did was?

I'm not saying people should look at Gamble like Revis, but he's a much better corner than many people want to give him credit for. I just think it's bullsh*t that guys like Revis get a blind eye turned to them in regards to penalties because people have talked them up for no reason, and Gamble has played his ass off this season and gets called for "hand fighting."

EDIT: As I finished typing this, Revis just pulled Marshall down past 5 yards again and ran back an interception for a 100-yd TD.

Timing is a demon bitch.

[smitty_89]

it was definitely a pass interference on that play

Its all about the money and name. Just like you cant hit Brady, the calls favor the money players.

[4Corners]

that was PI on Revis no doubt about it.

[Proudiddy]

He is blatantly holding him and bodying him up, there is no mistaking what he is doing is interference... It is essentially the "bump-n-run" but past 5 yards downfield... I thought that was eliminated after Ricky Manning Jr.'s playoff explosion.

This. he has a reputation so...

[4Corners]

how the fug did the refs miss that?

[Jesse]

Good riddance Matt Moore.

[Proudiddy]

that was PI on Revis no doubt about it.

Yeah, he's done it twice in the endzone now and one resulted in the TD.

I'm just saying, he is aggressively yanking Marshall around and our guys get called for fighting to ensure they are in position to make a play on the ball with their hands.

I would be going ape poo if I was a dolphins fan...they could easily be up 14-0...instead they're down 4, 18 point swing

[4Corners]

yeah, that's unacceptable IMHO from the officials. That pick is a game changer.

Yeah, I was fliping channels and was surprised at how quickly 7 point was added to the Jets score...
