AFC Championship - Patriots Hold Off Jags (1 Viewer)

[NutterButter]

Dirty hit, and he pushed the wr out of bounds. No need, he wasn’t going to catch it, but he “could” have if homeboy didn’t heave him 10 yds before the ball got there

Yeah.  Easy call.  Pushing the wr out of bounds and not looking back at the ball.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Wat? Stay classy pal. 

The dude delivered one of the biggest cheap shots in the history of the league and your criticizing this comment?

 

[Buffaloes]

Pats games are more predictable than wwe matches. 2 penalties move Jax out of scoring position and then a 32 yard pi on perfect coverage gifts them a td.

League sucks

 

[jabarony]

50 yards in penalties making things right. Classic NE.

 

[The Frankman]

First New England game?

I keep hoping against hope it'll be a clean game. I'm an optimist.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Yeah, those were penalties. He shoved the guy out of bounds halfway down the field. Impartial observer

Yep

 

[Bfrahm3]

There was nothing wrong with that hit to gronk

It's a football play and not much church coulda done different other then going at his knees but that's gonna get called everytime now

 

[JuniorNB]

Funny thinking the pats might be in trouble. 

People forgot about their zebra secret weapon. 

 

[Mr.Pack]

Helmet met helmet, which is officially a no-no in today's "safety league."  Even though it's often unavoidable.

Exactly. Pats haters in here must not have watched the NFL at all this year. That's called Every. Single. Time.

 

[ourmanflint]

Two wrongs don't make a right sir

They need to institute a rule where if you concuss a guy on a defenseless penalized hit like that you are gone too. Too easy to knock opposing players out of games. Happened to KC this year in the playoffs as well. Same as NBA's flagrant rule.

 

[Ditka Butkus]

I don't like that

 

[Cjw_55106]

Yes, I am. 

 

[JohnnyU]

It's in the league mission statement to ensure the Patriots get the calls whenever possible.

 

[skol asylum]

Weak move by Jags. That's not how a champion plays.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

The hold was obvious

 

[McJose]

No. No they don’t.

 

[The Frankman]

Even Marrone called out the refs on the PI call. I like it when coaches do that.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Took a knee? Weak AF. Play football you wussies. 

 

[Ned]

Glad to see Gronk concussed.  Wish Buffalo had done it.

Well that’s disappointing to read. 

 

[NutterButter]

People forgot about their zebra secret weapon. 

Really, this bunch?  

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Yes, I am. 

 

[Mr.Pack]

8 yards over everyone's head.  Not catchable.  If hold, fine.  Just 5 yards.  Not a gift.  

Good Lord, try to keep up

 

[Billy Bats]

That was some bull####. Gotta keep it close.  

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Weak move by Jags. That's not how a champion plays.

+1

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Turns out people see what they want to see in sports as well as in everything else. But that's for the FFA I guess 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

It's a football play and not much church coulda done different other then going at his knees but that's gonna get called everytime now

That's been called every single time all yr long. Why would you expect it to not be called today?

 

[NutterButter]

Even Marrone called out the refs on the PI call.

Crazy.  The Jaqs coach disagreed with the call.

 

[Buffaloes]

The hold was obvious

Agreed. The pi was perfect coverage. It's just the typical bs that happens any time next is on the ropes

 

[ourmanflint]

No. No they don’t.

Yes they do. Only fair. Too many guys go out on that type of play. 

 

[msudaisy26]

8 yards over everyone's head.  Not catchable.  If hold, fine.  Just 5 yards.  Not a gift.  

Ball is under thrown and not within 5 yards of cooks and he doesn't even try to make a play on the ball...yeah that's a terrible call

Which was it?

For record PI call was very weak, but the delay of game and hit on Gronk were penalties. The Jags need to do better.

 

[Snorkelson]

Pats games are more predictable than we matches. 2 penalties move Jax out of scoring position and then a 32 yard pi on perfect coverage gifts them a td.

League sucks

I didn’t really see the offensive penalty, but the hit to gronk was cheap and looked on purpose by the way he was whooping it up after the fact. Garbage. 

Just because the pats get a call doesn’t mean it’s always bs. They get more than their share, sure, but those were legit 

 

[Buffaloes]

Ball was snapped with 1 second on the clock and delay of game is called after the 1st down was converted

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Agreed. The pi was perfect coverage. It's just the typical bs that happens any time next is on the ropes

meh..looked like PI to me. I'm no Pats fan either

 

[The Frankman]

Crazy.  The Jaqs coach disagreed with the call.

He's not really a homer coach, he agreed with the PF penalty and like Coughlin, tends to be no BS.

 

[Andrew74]

I’ve found myself not caring about football once FF is over. I tried to be up coming in to this game. BS PI call gives NE points. #### like this makes me just not want to watch the NFL anymore.

Jags blowing it....come on

Other than the PI please tell us what shouldn't have been called.

Clear delay of game

Easy holding call

helmet to helmet on a defenseless receiver.

I will repeat the PI was weak.

 

[fruity pebbles]

I mainly just want my top players to get knocked out of the playoffs.

 

[McJose]

Yes they do. Only fair. Too many guys go out on that type of play. 

Do you think the defender hit Gronk helmet to helmet on purpose?

 

[Snorkelson]

Which was it?

Sure the ball sailed but he pushed him sooooo early, out of bounds. Not weak, it is what it is. Go lions.

The delay of game was not legit. Tell me with a straight face the Pats don't get the extra half second every time. That started that collapse.

 

[Arodin]

You know a team has a reputation for getting outside help when the halftime broadcast crew is calling out suspect flags that help the home team...

:tinfoil:

 

[bucksoh]

8 yards over everyone's head.  Not catchable.  If hold, fine.  Just 5 yards.  Not a gift.  

It's like you've never seen a Pats game!

 

[Bfrahm3]

That's been called every single time all yr long. Why would you expect it to not be called today?

Yeah I agree, no problem with that call... PI was ridiculous tho

 

[Ditka Butkus]

Yes they do. Only fair. Too many guys go out on that type of play. 

That was not a malicious hit... Anybody who has played football knows you lean into the hit to help absorb it... It was a penalty but not malicious.

 

[JaxBill]

Fun while it lasted.  Patriots mak e halftime adjustments and roll

 

[Tool]

Pats games are more predictable than wwe matches. 2 penalties move Jax out of scoring position and then a 32 yard pi on perfect coverage gifts them a td.

League sucks

3 of those penalties were clear as day. The 4th could be maybe be debated.

It’s so easy to b*tch about the calls.

 

[NutterButter]

He's not really a homer coach, he agreed with the PF penalty and like COughlin, tends to be no BS.

Anyone that disagrees with the PF call has no credibility.   Saying he agrees with it means absolutely nothing.

 

[Snorkelson]

Do you think the defender hit Gronk helmet to helmet on purpose?

Yes, the way he was celebrating I think he wanted to knock him out of the game
