LOL Interesting article about GRONK saying the refs were targeting him LOL

I bet the amount of intel they have on teams is astounding.
 
Its just not the pats....its a league wide problem. We laugh at gronk but we got screwed by the refs as well.

We laugh at Gronk because the *'s have a pattern of getting beneficial calls by the refs and the few times the calls go against them they whine in a way that makes Harbaugh look reasonable.
 
No, the point is, is it is NEVER the Pats. Now they just got served what other teams have been playing against for the last decade. So Gronk can cry me river. It kinda reminded me of the Denver Broncos after Terrell Davis and Elway were out. The Broncos were able to hold and cut block for years. Once those dudes were out, the league started calling Denver on that **** and lo and behold all of a sudden they dont have their NFL gifted advantage any more.

Thats why I half jokingly said maybe Elway has called out Rog and Kraft and said its someone else's turn now.
 
I'm pretty sure T*m is still trying to figure out how the **** the P*ts lost a game.

And to a backup QB.
 
Gronk is bitching up the wrong tree. He has that same move where he runs into the defender and knocks him out of the way before he cuts outside. It's illegal not just because of the push off but because the defender has the right to his position as well. You can't just run into the guy and knock him out of the way. **** Gronk and the cheaters.
 
I've been complaining for years that offensive PI was grossly under-called and the NFL officials had created a double standard for PI.

I think I heard the NFL took notice and cracked down on offensive PI. Can anyone confirm?

It used to be fairly obvious when the WR extended their arms and created space. With the huge TE's (and some WR's) with their strength it might not be as obvious because they don't have to extend their arms to create just a little space that is needed.

There needs to be as much attention paid to Offensive PI as there has been to Defensive PI.

There's also been a double standard when making plays on the ball. If defenders made contact while going for the ball, it was often called PI. When the receivers did it, no PI.
