Throw a flag and no call?

WTF!!! PI on the linebacker.

 

[Fingolfin269]

So why was there a flag if there was no foul? It didn't just fall out of his pocket. He looked at Gronk getting draped, threw a flag, and then... no foul?

I love watching the Patriots lose just as much as the next guy but don't understand that at all.

Premature ejaculation (of the flag.)

 

[smackababy]

It was uncatchable by Gronk. There was no way he was getting back to that.

He threw it because it looked like PI, but the other refs conferred that it wouldn't have been catchable by Gronk, had there been no interference.

Well, he couldn't with the linebacker hugging him.

 

[zinfamous]

well, that guy must really like Gronk, because he gave him a big-ol hug. :wub:

regardless, pass was underthrown like a motherfucker, so I don't think PI applies, right?

lol How the fuck do you not call that?

At least illegal contact, ffs.

Yet, they'll call PI when the ball is throw to the other side of the field.

That is why they picked up the flag. Had the ball been closer to Gronk, it would have been PI.

Pats lost because they didn't go for it on 4th at Carolina's goal line, and of course, helps from the refs.

Well, the 3 and 1 call was stupid by McDaniel.

 

[smackababy]

Pats lost because they had 5 drives I think, which is unacceptable unless you're Manning and scoring on every one.

 

[zinfamous]

Even Gronk's giant He-man arms could not have reached for that ball, unobstructed, considering how far away it was from him.

hence the deliberation, and removal of the flag.

 

[dbk]

blame.. Ridley 😛 .. Vereen? with that over the shoulder drop? Brady for not looking for Gronk till it was too late?

Then why is PI called when a WR isn't even part of a play?

All refs suck in all sports.

NBA is the worst and hockey is the least worst, barely passable.

 

[zinfamous]

Isn't that only after 5 yards, which doesn't apply because of distance to the goal on that play...or does it always apply in the endzone?

 

[smackababy]

Which are bad calls.

Then there should have been a holding call, no?

I was always under the impression it's anything after 5 yards regardless.

At least in the NBA they get a tech for crying about calls.

Fuck if I know.

Magic?


but--I think it's the difference between holding (thrown off the ball/WO away from ball) or PI--thrown on catchable balls.

 

[dbk]

I think holding only applies if it happens before the throw occurs.. or else, it's a pass interference - which in this case was ruled out by the INT.

 

[Mermaidman]

Fuck if I know.

You have a potty mouth, just like Brady. 😛
