Great breakdown of why call was correct

How many bad breaks have we had in the last 3 seasons.  Drops, fumbles, pentlies that cost us games.  I can't even remember.  I don't care if it was the right call or the wrong call.  For once the breaks went out way and I don't feel the need to justify it.  I know we won and thats all that matters.

thanks but I need no validation - we kicked ass fair and square

 

this.

 

it's in the books.

 

a win is a win. there are no asterisk wins. you can't change the outcome by arguing or debating.

 

it us what it is....a win. there is no debate or justifying that needs to be done. all the defending that needed to be done to preserve the win was done on the field. none needs to be done after the fact.

Great GIF of the play:

All you need to know: at the point where Luke comes into contact with Gronk, Gronk is still moving further to the back of the end zone, and Lester is already breaking forward to the ball. Lester's making that interception 99 times out of 100. And the odd ball isn't because Gronk catches it, it's because Lester drops it.

 

Uncatchable. Not PI. The end.

100% correct.

The thing I noticed today after seeing it at nauseam on all the NFL shows is that Gronk didn't even react to the ball.  Lester made a move and undercut the throw before Luke mugged him.  It almost looked like Gronk knew it was short and didn't have a chance.

 

Listening to Young and Dilfer talk about Gronk being able to make a play on it was ridiculous.  He would have had to toss Luke out of the way and run through Lester.

 

I've said it a million times but if that flag doesn't get thrown nobody would give a crap.  9/10 refs let things go on the last play for this very reason, so it doesn't come down to a call.

The ref was correct to initially throw the flag because he's just looking at gronk/keek and seeing that there's contact, which obviously there was. The fact that there's contact is only half of the call though. If you watch the ref he IMMEDIATELY calls over the other officials afterwards to discuss whether the ball was catchable or not.

 

The ball was well short and intercepted. Gronk was running a route towards the back of the endzone and never had a play on the ball, never even attempted to come back towards the ball and make a play on it. Because of that it was ruled uncatchable and thus no penalty. It's really not that complicated. People are acting like the refs decided there wasn't contact, that's not the case.

 

To Gronk's credit after the game he said something along the lines of no excuses, we just flat out got beat, they played better than us.

I will same I am happy with the call. However, the call was awful. It would be one thing if they never threw the flag, but they did. If the play was the other way around, this forum would be on fire right now. 

So you're assuming the official who saw the interference and threw the flag also saw, at the same time, that the ball was uncatchable? Nope. That's why there's 7 of 'em on the field.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
