that call was nothing, 3 seconds left... gronk wasnt coming towards the ball the roughing call on brees cost the 49ers the game yesterday, at best the pats needed a miracle
just call it like i see it.. just glad this myth of Cam being overrated can go to bed, the guy has put up monster numbers his first 3 years, and is finally maturing, and leading his team
What? The roughing call allowed New Orleans to kick a FG to tie the game with a few minutes to go. After that, SF got the ball with 2+ minutes and was stopped and NO drove yet again to score. That call didn't remotely cost the 49ers the game. The Patriots would have had the ball at the 1 with 1 play to win it. The non-call today, right or wrong, influenced that game far more than the roughing the passer call against New Orleans.
Brees fumbled the ball into Willis's hands... it was a turnover without the flag, down 20-17 with less than 4:00 to play... all the niners had to do was run the ball and ice the game
Running the ball for 4 minutes with the other team having 3 timeouts is not remotely a sure thing, especially for a team that couldn't run the ball all night long. Again, SF and NO each had their chance after that. SF went 3-and-out. NO drove down for a game-winning field goal. Blaming that call for a loss is just dumb.
sounds like skyrim is being biased. that call on brees was correct according to the rule. Hit a QB high, and you'll be flagged, however I didn't know holding and preventing a receiver/te from catching the ball isn't.
No im not. Chandler jones hit cam around the neck to end the first half....NO FLAG. the call againist againist the 49ers was bs because it is only called for certain qbs
I didn't recall that hit on cam, but was he scrambling? QB in the pocket and QB scrambling have different rules.
Any time there's a black QB playing I know skyrim is here doing his thing. It's like clockwork. You have to admire the consistency.
Cam Newton - Puts up monster numbers, finally maturing, leading his team = Praised Andrew Luck - Put up monster numbers, been mature from his very first game, leading his team (further than Cam ever has) = Overrated #SkyrimLogic
I can't remember who or which network but an analyst said the patriots run that on purpose trying to get a pi call
Retired official Gerry Austin had a good explanation on ESPN. He says the call was correct because by rule a ball that is intercepted or knocked down short of a receiver is not PI because the ball was uncatchable. Watching the replay Gronkowski was not going to come back on that ball enough to catch it or keep the DB from intercepting it. Had their not been a DB there to intercept it then it would definitely been PI. Conversely, had there been no contact he still would not have caught the ball or broken up the interception in the position he was in.
Andrew Luck only becomes overrated when the media compares him to peyton or says he is the best young qb in the game.... Whens not
The ONLY reason that ball wasn't catchable was because the linebacker completely took Gronk out of the play, pushing him towards the back of the endzone. Without that contact, there's no way in the world you can say that Gronk couldn't have made a play on the ball. He's standing where the ball ended up before he starts getting pushed. An interception doesn't negate the fact he was taken out of the play by interference. The sole reason he couldn't make a play on the ball was the contact from the linebacker. That's pass interference.
The back judge calls in the side judge on that call. He only has one angle; the one on the players, not the path of the ball. The ball is caught two yards in the front of the endzone almost trapped on the ground IIRC, Keuchly/Gronkowski were at the back of the endzone with Gronk still lazily moving to the back line. Brady doesn't (purposely) underthrow that, Lester doesn't intercept it, or Gronkowski make any hard move to the ball; you'll get a PI call like Olsen did. But none of those things happened .... and close calls do happen in football. Check my recollection on which drive is which but are the Pats even in the game at all if the ridiculous legwhip get's penalized?
