Sounds like sour grapes to me

 

[tedman2012]

Yeah last night how many freaking high strikes (at least according to k zone while watching online) were called strikes

no one gets more calls in favor then the yanks and red sox

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Gronk is still in football?

If you hadn't stop watching after the week 1 Cowboy smack down you'd know.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The lack of OPI in comparison to DPI is pretty laughable at the NFL level, imo. Just ridiculous what passes. Double standards everywhere. Can't blame some of the top receivers (looking at you Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins, Demaryius Thomas, etc) for committing 'subtle' OPI given you have to mug a DB just about to get OPI called on you.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Much like Home Plate Umpires and different strike zones, different refs are gonna call things tighter than others

Fans have to realize that OPI and DPI is a judgement call. I don't really think they are picking on Gronk.

Gronk: Refs need to be consistent with OPI calls

Gronk pushes off a lot and is lucky he isn't called more often for OPI.

 

[GNG]

They're not consistent with DPI, that's for sure...

NFL rules favor the offense.

 

[The Oldtimer]

NFL rules favor the offense.

Seems that way.

 

[broncosmitty]

Gronk pushes off on atleast half his receptions it seems.

Not much wiggle room left for him when it comes to losing his athletic edge. He'll have a lot of trouble getting open. And he knows it.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Yeah, that's the point. He's avoiding it, and still getting penalized. Like, Scooby, you don't think it would be better if refs were consistent with, like, all the rules?

Sure, but that's not possible

 

[Tapey]

They really arent consistent with anything they do

cheaters...

 

[PatsFan2003]

Gronk has the problem that the refs feel sorry for those little 200 pound safeties defending him.

So he gets the floppsie every play.
