No one will care about that flag in 6 days

Agree completely, it was an extremely stupid play by Luke. My point is that the call was clearly good, whatever Luke did notwithstanding. I'm sure he knows what a poor choice that was, and I'm equally sure that the coaches will drill it into his head this week.

 

that's all that matters to me that he knows to not do that again, especially when his coverage was A1. If he turns his head around everything is ok

If the refs make that call then literally every 3rd and 4th down on that drive was saved by the refs sustaining their drive. Maybe the NFL finally realizes they can't keep cheating good teams out of the game?

These guys scored 55 points last week and we held them to 17. We out played these guys even when they injured our best DE which was not called.

I can cite literal examples off the top of my head of every game we have been cheated out of and its about time 1 fugging call went out way. I have no sympathy.

1. Literally every single Dallas game since 2007

2. Buffalo Week 3?

3. 2011 Saints game. Actually make that every Saints game.

4. SB 38

that call against buffalo was right, I can post a gif if you'd like.

IT almost looks to me like Keek stumbled a bit and kind of fell into Gronk. Regardless, Lester jumped the pass and got the INT, so it was uncatchable anyway. Think back to all the controversial calls the Pats have gotten over the years - starting with Brady vs Oakland and the "tuck rule" way back when. They've had their cake and eat it too for a long damn time, so forgive me if I don't start a petition on their behalf. Bite us, Pats!

Not really.

 

I've rewatched the play a dozen times.  Gronkowski had already run behind Lester,  Brady's throw was short and Lester was in the perfect spot.  No matter what Luke does on that play, that final pass is an interception or a knockdown.

 

The no-call was correct. 

Maybe it wasn't PI, but sure looked like holding. Maybe you don't throw that flag, but once it's thrown, it was really odd to pick it up. 

 

Anybody who watched the game knows we earned that win, so I think the only people who will care at the end of the day are Pats fans, but if something like that happened it us, I'd be out of my mind right now.

Everyone was saying the ball was closer than it actually was. Trent Dilfer said it wasn't like it was 5 yards away from him. Mike Greeny said it was a foot away, lmfaoo. Does he know 12 inches are in a foot? Actually it was just about exactly 5 yards underthrown to Gronk. Sometimes I don't know wtf game these guys are watching or they are just really biased.

They're taught "if in doubt throw the flag" and that's what they did. Then they discuss it. That's why it was picked up.

You can't have defensive holding if the ball is in the air. 

 

At that point, it's PI or nothing, and if the ball is uncatchable it's not PI.

He had already taken himself out of the play with the route he ran.

 

That, plus although it's difficult to see in the clips they keep showing, Mike Mitchell was close enough to have helped defend Gronkowski if needed.
