Only Gronkowski wouldn't get a holding or PI call on that play, lol.

Leave it to Hughes...

Thugtriots....

Classless move by Gronk.  Don't be surprised they are coached that way.

well, that's the real story here.

So let me see if I understand this correctly.  Two NE players took cheap shots on the same play -- Gronk will likely be suspended for his -- and the result is that Buffalo loses 15 yards.  

Nice product you're putting out there, NFL.

How does 1 Buffalo Unnecessary Roughness penalty offset 2 NE UR penalties but the one against the officials stand?

Thugtriots....

They are a lot of things (cheaters), but I've never considered them thugs (sans Rodney Harrison).

 

[Gargoylez]

Let's see what the NFL (won't) do after reviewing that.

 

[Gargoylez]

OMG NFL... GET YOUR REFS EDUCATED.

You're ruining the narrative, apparently.

Until now... That was really a thug move by gronkowski

Sorry... Just trying to be fair when considering the Patriots...

Oh, no doubt...

 

[Borden]

Terrible play calling/decision making.

I don't think anyone is arguing that it was a thug move, although suspension is unlikely. But there are a lot of thugs teams in the NFL if one thug move by a player makes the whole team 'coached to be thugs.'

Don't even watch the NFL much this year. Been watching the CFB playoff show all afternoon. See this game is on local here in Charlotte and hey, let's watch it. Third play I see is that cluster#### of officiating.  What a sham this league is.

Agreed... But from a pats player, it was surprising.

NFL knows where their bread is buttered.

Outside of the non-call on the holding and PI, everything after the play was over was perfectly fine officiating. Penalties on both teams offset, like it always has. Penalties against officials is applied between downs, which is why it was 1st and 25 for the Bills. If you watched the Chief/Jets game, same situation happened and the penalty was applied between downs there too.

And somehow I just wrote a paragraph defending NFL officials. I officially need a drink.

Understand that I'm talking about strict interpretation of the rules here, not who 'deserved it' more.

I never understand how 2 penalties from one team is offset by just 1 penalty from the other team. Makes no sense.
