Monday Night Football: 11/18...PATS @ CATS...who ya got?

Also the pick has no shot of happening without the contact.

I don't see how they pick that one up, but I had the Panthers so it's all good.

Now we are proving we can win the close ones.

Great game Pats, you hung 20 points on Carolina's D. Only 1 other team this season can claim that. I started having flashbacks to the 2003 SB. Great game, this is why we are fans.

Patriots are a joke!

You really should stick with the laughing smilie with no words. Words aren't your thing.

 

[Cobiemonster]

So many flaws when it comes to refereeing the game. There are instances where the ball would fly well over the receiver's head which many would deem "uncatchable" and a defensive PI is called. That ball, while it was intercepted, was hard to actually call it "un-catchable."

That play at the end of the game was uncatchable - Gronk never got open enough to be even considered a catchable ball

Yes, good close game won by the Panthers the way these games are won. Well done.

There should be a lot of shaming....That was absolute robbery. Pats should've had one more play at the 1 yard.

He bear hugged Gronk before the ball got there

You win some bear hugs, you loose some bear hugs.

That was blatant PI but they won't call that against the home team to end the game. That's just the way it goes in professional sports.

Being open is irrelevant. If he had a chance to to touch it with no contact it's not uncatchable.

 

[Golden Spur]

We take it any way we can get it, baby. 7-3.

Hats off to the Pats. This was a crazy game, where both Offenses played great ball control. Brady was tearing us up in the second half. That early fumble by Ridley was huge.

 

[Cloud]

Gronkowski was 5 yards away. ok maybe I'm a little biased.

It still does not excuse the inconsistency bs by the refs. Gronk being 5 yards away and no chance on going back to get that ball is no difference than a ball sailing 10-15 yards over a receiver's head and a PI is called.

It probably be better if they didn't throw the flag to begin with.

Great game though.

The thing that makes me sick is they actually threw the flag only to let the crowd get to him and pickup the flag. I prefer them not throw the flag at all instead of throwing it and allowing the fans and other refs to scare you into not calling it.

Since when can you restrict a receiver from going back to the ball when the ball is in the air? When was this rule created?

He never made much of a move back to the ball. He should have moved towards the ball to make it look more obvious. Open really has nothing to do with it. But he needed to make a stronger move to the ball.

Hey GS, two thumbs up man, good win! Cam burned the Pats on some crucial plays, that is one dangerous QB.

Let's pray these refs aren't doing any playoffs game.

BTW can you imagine how replacement refs would be getting killed if they did that last yr?

 

[codycmon]

unfortunately that's all they're going to talk about now. it was a heck of a game and that'll probably be overshadowed.

He didn't just restrict him from coming back. He moved him significantly up the field.

He never had a chance to catch that ball. Did you see the play? Come on man.
