AFCC Game Thread: Patriots/Broncos - The Final Showdown (2 Viewers)

[Billy Bats]

Penalty was for "before the pass was thrown" but the flag was thrown after the incompletion.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Just gotta keep Brady moving in that pocket.

 

[dschuler]

Sims is simply a bad announcer.

Nice guy, terrible announcer

"Patriots having issues with their Microsoft Surface tablets on the sidelines."

You know who else didnt have acess to tablets for a realy long time? Moses #DoYourJob

That overturned call was ridiculous. The whistle blew, the ref signaled incompletion, and the Pats player picked up the ball after both those things happened. Replays should stop as soon as a whistle is blown. It's a terrible awful rule.

Play till the whistle unless it's possibly a play that could get reviewed then you have to keep playing post whistle.

Lets says a Den player flattens a Pats player going for the ball but in the process recovers the ball, all of this happens post whistle. Den player will get a flag for a late hit but it's worth it to recover the ball.

Yeah can we stop this already? It's a well known rule that they implemented a couple years ago.

Can you cite the specific rule you are referring to? Here is the official 2015 rulebook for reference.

This play comes up all the time with fumbles. Not sure how much NFL some of you watch. It was ruled correctly

The refs don't always get the rules right.

 

[Deamon]

Oh my god hahahahhahahahhahahaha more on the tablets. How manytimes did she say microsoft surface there!?

Think they realized their mistake and got a quick call to try to back track.

It's almost better for Microsoft to have them break because it's more free advertising

Well now that they talked more about them then probably. Glad they pointed out that the Patriots' Microsoft Tablets were working just fine.

Bet Bill Gates made a quick call to the stadium to tell them to mention the Pats' tablets

Sure, but they did that time

 

[The General]

Half the tablets are working? Sounds about right for Microsoft.

 

[GROOT]

Refs keeping NE in the game

 

[sho nuff]

Lumbering ...

 

[ShamrockPride]

Nice hit on Brady.

 

[bostonfred]

Cam Brady

 

[dschuler]

Twice as many as Microsoft thought would work

 

[Old Smiley]

At least somebody can run

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Brady's balls are coming up short today.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

WOOOW.... Shades of the Elway helicopter play.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Great pull by Tom Brady.

Who saw that run coming?

 

[Donnybrook]

Brady going to feel that tomorrow.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

WOOOW.... Shades of the Elway helicopter play.

Lol...no.

 

[dschuler]

Brady is so slow it's incredible. His O lineman could catch him

 

[The General]

Going to have start respecting Brady's running ability.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Brady's scrambling just might be the x-factor in this game.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Refs keeping NE in the game

This guy is unbearable.

 

[Higgs]

This is the worst I've seen Brady look in a long time.

 

[Tool]

Sims is simply a bad announcer.

Yep.

 

[dschuler]

This is the worst I've seen Brady look in a long time.

Maybe the pass rush is in his head?

 

[The General]

This is the worst I've seen Brady look in a long time.

Miami week 17?

 

[ffldrew]

This D doing it's job

 

[ShamrockPride]

Pass rush is too much for this line. Brady getting hammered all half.

 

[dickey moe]

Enough with that "Max MPH" garbage.

 

[Higgs]

Denver's d-line is destroying the Pats today.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Broncos dominating but only up by 5. Those will be a close one.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

WOOOW.... Shades of the Elway helicopter play.

Lol...no.

A lot of helicopters have props that only turn about 86 degrees.

 

[dickey moe]

Makes up for that missed PAT.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Broncos dominating but only up by 5. Those will be a close one.

That idiotic play by Hillman was enough to singlehandedly keep it close.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

WOOOW.... Shades of the Elway helicopter play.

Lol...no.

A lot of helicopters have props that only turn about 86 degrees.

Well that changes everything.

 

[ROCKET]

Pats pass D better start playing, lot's of open receivers for Peyton to throw his ducks to

 

[Ghost Rider]

This is the worst I've seen Brady look in a long time.

Considering the duress he is under, I think he's looks fine.

That one incompletion happened because his arm was hit as he was throwing, yet Simms acted like he underthrew it. Dope.

 

[ffldrew]

Bill looks panicked - perhaps he downloaded the virus to the wrong teams tablets

The rule was changed in a couple years ago. The Rams had a similar fumble earlier this year and the ball was returned to the Rams.

But I'm open to be proven wrong. Just point out the specific language in the NFL rulebook.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

That turf looks like ####.

 

[sho nuff]

Manning...elusive.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Gronkowski is a damn good actor.

You're not lying. Ticky-tack flag.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Manning looked old trying to get away from the blitz. Shades of Steve DeBerg

 

[Old Smiley]

Third down stop. Those have been rare. Way to go, boys.

 

[The General]

Hoculi just wanted to talk there.

 

[bostonfred]

That official was hoping he wouldn't have to throw his hat today

 

[HellToupee]

Manning looked old trying to get away from the blitz. Shades of Steve DeBerg

Simms was very impressed with his agility
