Well that Sucks, but it's not the end. It's the beginning

With the way they call that play im not surprised it went that way. My thing is he shouldnt of went to the ground in the first place stay up..players have to add that to their game. If any way possible stay off the ground if you can avoid it. Don't bring the stupid rule into play.
 
One of the overlooked plays that really cost us after the overturning. The short pass to heyward bey(Why is he even in the game?!?!) that gained basically nothing and kept the clock running.
It caused chaos and rushing. Ben probably should have just thrown that ball away too.

I agree. End zone or out of bounds. Nothing to gain there

I would have liked that play if they had 2 plays called in the huddle, to try and catch the Pats in a disorganized state after the first play. Instead, one man ran a pattern into 6 guys. We should have had a jailbreak on that 3rd down fake spike.

Slash, going to the ground is clearly defined. It sucks, but it's clear. It's clear because he didn't just stay on his knees, he was still leaning and momentum was carrying him to the ground anyway, so he lunged and extended for the TD. I can't fault the effort there.

momentum hell had he just have fell there there would be no ball movement, movement came after he extended out and the ball crossed the plane.

If it is within the rule to **** him and call that a incompletion, then the rule needs changed.

What about Eli's hold on the back of his jersey how does that sit with you?
 
I feel way better about our chances now than before this game... i have hope that the coaches will adjust to play the Pats... and that given a second chance, they wont single cover Gronk or turtle ball the second half again. I dont think the Pats are good. In years past they knew the opponants gameplan and were always making the key plays... yesterday they had two plays like that... all the rest of their best plays were Gronk going monster manchild on the football field...

Gronk will not play past next week.... Right or wrong, Buffalo is totally targeting his knees as retailiation... its pretty obvious they are steamed
 
It doesn't matter who plays who. A flag will fly. A call will be made at just the right time and whomever the owners and the commissioner have decided is going to win this year will.

And that's just the way it is.
