I Don't Understand.......

[nefansince75]

Yes. Much more difficult to beat the other team and the refs during the same game.

First you beat the team on a play. When the ref helps you beat them on the next play... and if you beat them three plays prior the refs wouldn't be in position to help.

Look, it sucks when a ref blows a call... but rarely does a game come down to a blown call where a team never blew any of their own plays.

Another "I don't understand". Regarding the Edelman non muff. I pulled this quote from an article from the Boston Herald and I've heard this elsewhere too.

"The first, which required a lengthy video review, involved Julian Edelman muffing a punt. The original call was that the bouncing ball touched him. Replays, even in stop motion, seemed inconclusive, which means the call should stand."

Did anyone think, after looking at all angles, the play should be considered inconclusive?

No.
Irrefutable by video replay he never touched it.

FANTASTIC job by CBS camera crew.

The legend grows. Brady overcame the refs, the Chiefs, two turnovers... and fricking laser beams.

Watching Felgar and Maz for a moment and I think it was maz denying there was conclusive proof and nobody refuted him. Boy Felgar is a douche. Why was I watching? My TIVO was just on the channel when I turned the TV on.

Twice.
Threw it down then picked it up and threw it again.
Then the camera caught him saying "This is fuckin bullshit".

Exactly. You know it's bs when the normal mild mannered/tight lipped Belichick gets that worked up and is actually conversing albiet telling a ref they blew that call.

I didn't think it hit him.

But I also didn't think they would reverse the call.

I know this whole topic is starting to get stale, but I keep hearing the claims of favoritism by the refs for the Pats.

We already discussed some of the advantages the Chiefs had, but what about Kelce? Anybody else this two of his catches (including his TD) that included push offs crossed the line into OPI. I forgot about it until I saw a replay of Gronk making a sharp cut and making no contact (0, nada, zilch). In the old days Gronk would create some contact, but eventually got burned by the OPI calls.

Josh McDaniels has made several bonehead coaching play calls.

The first was the pass play that was intercepted in the end zone. Why didn't he run the ball?

Then Rushing a ball straight ahead against a 9 man front on fourth and inches. Why not a play action pass or run the ball wide??

Brady hasn't been that sharp and he's coughed up a couple of furballs.

He thought he was playing against the Seahawks and wanted to return the favor?

Not to mention when one angle showed (or looked) like it hit him on the left thumb, then the other angle it didn't.. Which should mean "call on field stands...." no?

I mentioned it. Between that and the pick plays I was livid.
For two years if Gronk looked at a defender he was getting flagged for OPI.
We' ll never convince the haters calls or no-calls go both ways. The big difference is NE normally overcomes them.

No it does not. Quite the opposite. They take all angles and piece them together. From each side it showed one side wasn't touched but the other might have. At some point all angles showed nothing touched.

I have said this 100 times we and coaches have Hi Def Slo Mo Stop and Go replay we and coaches get shit right all the time. Try it at full speed while watching three different things making sure you are in the right position while moving to avoid contact and play interruption with 300 pound men charging at you. Then lets see how the calls go.

Refs miss calls if your team plays well enough it's rare a missed call changes the outcome of a game.

And onto the topic of OT... If you didn't play well enough to win, stop crying when you lose. Every team has 60 minutes to win. For X sake, The win after regulation could be decided by just a coin flip and it wouldn't matter.... You did not win this game.

Agreed and if your team is good enough your D should be able to prevent a TD

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

Yeah, like, all the people crying about the Saints getting screwed...they had the damn lead even after the non-call...with like a minute and half to go. Make a damn stop.

 

[nefansince75]

And if one team is fresh and the other is gagging, which team did more to earn a win?

 

[redseat]

True they do put them together and I am sure that's why it was overturned

 

[nefansince75]

I don't understand why this is news. A 10-year-old kid won a science fair by proving Tom Brady is a cheater The kid's premise is he hates brady therefore he wants to prove Brady cheated, but he only proves that he hates Brady. Whoever wrote the article took slander and turned it into libel...

 

[Shoeshine Boy]

That's not fair...he also proved that the people judging that science fair have no fucking clue what science is. And also that his sister has a stronger arm than he does.
