Did anyone actually see Gronk's non-TD hit the ground?

Here is a reply

It was a dropped pass.
When's the last time your team won anything meaningful? I remember the last time your team smoked mine... How'd that season turn out? For your team? For my team?

Ignore the wayward Raider fan with an axe to grind. They're in last place in their division, same as us.

My team last won something meaningful in 2015.

The ony angle I saw that showed him drop it didn't seem to show it actually hit the ground. It looked like he dropped it onto his other arm then cradled it in.

That play could have changed the tone of the game but clearly wasn't the only thing that went wrong.

100% hit the ground. Get over it.

It hit the ground, and Gronk is still a brittle bitch.

I really do not understand why we banter back and forth like this. It was an incomplete pass I won't say dropped pass but the ground aided the catch and the correct call was made. Hell my ole lady saw that, she was excited at first then the replay showed the ball touch the ground.

Hey no excuses, the Pats sucked last night in the second half. Call it what you will but the defense was friggin horrible, the offense was inept, teams have bad games this was one of those games we got outplayed on our field. I won't delve into the whole "Well, we didn't have Edelmen, or Mitchell, then we lost Amendola and Hightower, good teams win with all the pieces in place, great teams win when the pieces are missing, The Pats were far from great last night.

Great pass, great attempted catch, but it clearly hit the ground. Clearly. How is this in question...

I saw it. I was the only one in the bar who seemed to. The ball was in his hands and came in contact with the ground as he hit. They only showed the camera angle once.

What's with these lazy asses who don't read through a thread. The issue isn't about winning or losing. I have my TIVO on now and the best angle shows him catching it mostly with his left hand and dropping it on his way down.... However he dropped it into his right hand. Did it hit the ground TOO? It's not clear to me.

Did the refs have a better angle we didn't see? maybe. or did they have a better HD zoom in than we had? Maybe. Did they see the drop and not look close enough to see it wasn't clear that his hand may have been under it? Maybe.

Of course I have rose colored glasses. It's my team. I ain't complaining or blaming. I'm discussing. Isn't this a discussion forum?

You should take your own advice. You must not of read the short 8 words I wrote because I didn't say anything about winning or losing. I said it hit the ground and you need to get over it. I answered your question and I also gave my opinion that you need to get over it. The angles I saw on NBC saw the corner of the ball hit the ground.

Its cute how guys that don't typically post here came snooping around today. I will at least give some credit to Black Francis he is constantly badgering Pats fans that allow it to happen to them.
