Mike Tomlin proving yet again what a clueless coach he is
 |
|
By:
not Tomlins fault James can't hold on to a gimme but we all know he shuts up shop once they have a lead in last quarter. He does have a major problem with his negativity. He ain't gonna change 'cos he trusts his D. Still can't fathom how James couldn't fall over the line with nobody within touching distance.

End of a poor weekend, Plymouth do me for £2k for £45 acca and James kills me for £800 pick up on little double

Tomlin is a clown , always has been , the talent he has had at his disposal for years and does his best to fcuk it up. Another game the dominated and lost. Playcalling on the drive beforehand was shocking too, and then they they have burns on Gronk wtf
|
|
By:
IM not sure how they have reversed that ? He is deffo in control as Knee goes Down , All he has to do is break the plane ??
|
|
By:
but doesn't he have to be in control of possession when he ends the play? Eg if he was stood upright, reached over the line and then withdrew his arm after breaking the plane and remained on his feet but a yard back from the line. He has broken the plane and after all that is what is required with control of the ball.
|
|
By:
has to be in possession in the process of "completing" the catch
|
|
By:
The way I look at it ,he was in control when Knee hit , If he doesnt stretch and is touched the pass is Complete there ?
He was not touched and stretched Clearly he has control as ball breaks the Plane is not in control as ball hits the Turf That is some call to reverse that ... |
|
By:
and breaking the plane occurs before he slightly fumbles? At worst it was still inconclusive as one hand was probably grasping the ball over the line but the plane was clearly breached micro seconds before. Nothing to be done about it now!
|
|
By:
A running back just has to break the plane and it’s a TD, a receiver has to break the plane and maintain control all the way through to the ground for a TD
|
|
By:
the rules wrong but the ruling was right
|
|
By:
It was just a poor completion, nobody around to touch him 'dead' and he cant finish that play, a penalty kick from a yard out with no keeper would be the football equivalent.

Thats the way Im looking at it PH , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOfBQWPMos we are not alone PH LOL

By:
Totally scooby the zebra's got it right ( and I hate New England ) but the rule of a catch now is ludicrous
|
|
By:
Still an outrageous reversal....stay out of the game zebras, season defining,not just match and the referee wants to be the hero, usual bollocks with the Pats...TD should stand as called. Ridiculous.
Only thing more so was the next play, play call..... |
|
By:
tbf dlarssonf that was my belief, I don't know that the grounding was conclusive enough to reverse the play but also to not have the FG to fall back on was just unprofessional by Big Ben. That's sport and guts and glory mentality rather than a cool level head.
|
|
By:
It's not outrageous , all scoring plays are reviewed and by the rules of the game it was the correct decision. It's the rule that's outrageous
|
|
By:
Ball barely ****g moved....
Terrible call at that stage of game, all sorts of PI going on all over field and weren't calling that. Steelers robbed of deserved win and home field advantage. |
|
By:
Yeah ph that's sport and betting aside that's why we love it - the drama
 |
|
By:
It wasn't clear, it's meant to be clear to reverse....
Nantz n Romo watched ten times before seen out wrong ffs. |
|
By:
It's absolutely clear when you review it
|
|
By:
How many times with the Pats insane Happenings ,FFS game should have been over with a Pick then they march up for 8 points
|
|
By:
Its the fcking Rules that are Unclear
|
|
By:
It often is allegedly clear,,yet they are loathe to reverse, they stay with ruling on field...
Sad when such a game is decided by an old man with a portable tv on the sideline. Like other sports the larger outfit get the decisions.Pats get way more than most... Still do not agree should've reversed. |

By:
Item 1. Player Going to the Ground. A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.

The call was correct, but if you were playing in the schoolyard or anywhere else that is a TD every day. NFL and pro sports in general, very much over officiated. In golf the fecking fans call up and players get penalised in the final round for a third round infraction that means nothing. This reliance on technology is against the spirit of sports imo, and causes more controversy than it eliminates.
Still, why don't you double team Gronk? And why not just kick a FG with 9 seconds left and no timeouts? The interception aside, there was no time for another play if tackled in bounds at the end. They were clearly the better team, just go to O/T and continue being the better team. Another mention for Gronk. Incredible player. |

What is TD rule regarding the Ball Breaking the Plane ,SO its a TD for breaking the Plane but then it is not cause the ball comes loose after ??
No one in the Pats team thought is was not a TD never mind the Steelers and Romo and the Other Bod in Comms had not got a Clue ,It brings the whole game into Question tbh, surely Every passing play needs to be looked at from every angle before it can be called Complete ?? How many missed Non completions are missed during a weeks matches ? Regardless of where on the Field they happen they will have an impact on the outcome of the game .. |
|
By:
the Sky team had a good discussion after the game and it is easier to score running than passing in that in the run-the ball simply has to cross the plane-in the process of the catch it has to "survive" the ground.

Was disgusted by the decision last night, still am, was similarly disgusted with referee in Cowboys game when Raiders season on line and he is revelling in the fact he is centre of attention in front of millions again when were measuring the 4th down.
Thought they got that one wrong also by way. There was also a bobbled catch in that game that could be given either way, funnily enough, not for me, they stayed with ruling on field,as have done all season, but not when the Patriots season on line.Lets reverse...... But the thing that troubles me most isn't the limelight hogging zebras, it's actually the fact that the big big decisions can and will now be taken in NFL HEAD OFFICE. This worries me hugely. The NFL no doubt wants the big franchises in the playoffs, no doubt, and now they have manipulated there way to having this scenario in there own hands. A cartel similar to the Champions League football now, effectively only run for 8 teams or so. |

Just watched a re-run of the Raiders game. WTF was Carr doing at the end. Take ur first down yrds from the end zone and u have the game. What he does is baffling. He was never reaching the pylon with the Dallas defender closing him down. Raiders beat themselves. I agree with jedi about the 4th down call as well.
