I agree that it seems like the Pats get all the calls, no doubt. But that wasn't even close to a trip.

Very effective and deliberate leg whip.

I was saying at minimum he should have prevented it. Agree he really should have caught it. Plus, I also think Vrabel could easily have been called for a tripping penalty, or leg whip, or whatever they call that.

I have been saying it throughout the thread. Blitz, blitz, and blitz. There should be 5 rushers at all times. There were 3 on that td.

Apparently we're not watching the same game because Vrabel clearly kicked his leg out at Rivers to cause him to fall.

Hmmm, I have to check that out on my DVR. I think I might have missed it.

Right...I don't care who wins really although it wuld be great to see the PAts lose, but nonetheless it was tripping/leg whip...it was obvious.

It was a great play. Definitely stopped the already hobbled Q.B. from stepping into the throw.

Dumb throw by Rivers. Gotta know when to fold em.

Because no flag was thrown, right?

I remember that divisional game against the Broncos a couple years ago. Man the Pats were getting all the calls that night.

Just rewound and watched it again. He tripped him.

why oh why do you throw the ball up like that? make it a long game not INTs and give NE as many opportunities as possible to win it.

If a flag was thrown, and I would have had I been the umpire, it would have been a stupid play. Its the playoffs. One and done. Only results count now, not style points.

I'd rather have Mickey Rivers at QB.

QB Tom Brady's 12-yard touchdown pass to WR Jabar Gaffney in the second quarter marks the 14th straight playoff game that Brady has thrown at least one TD pass.
That ranks as the second best mark in NFL history. The best mark is Brett Favre, whose ongoing streak is 17 games.

I wonder who Rivers will play for his short throw.

Just watched the replay of the first INT; that was a clear and deliberate leg whip by Vrabel. It wasn't like his leg bumped him. He threw his leg up into the air at Rivers. That was as plain as day.

I figured it woul be close in the first half then NE would run away in the second...its shaping up to be blowout sooner than I expected.

Announcers must be on the take too. When I saw it I thought it was obvious and flagrant. Figured I should check here to see if anyone else saw it.Looked he was deliberately going for the leg with a kick/trip. I rewound it several times and watched it over and over in full speed. Geesh, he even follows through with the kick after contact. If that isn't an obvious flag I don't know what is.

The 2nd replay they showed (the overhead view) makes it painfully obvious to anyone with two eyes.

If the Bolts manage to get a TD...do you go for 2 at this point in the game? I would because you could go in at the half tied.

Sorry. No clue who you're talking about. Not sure if you're trying to agree with me or just trying to mock me.Stuff like this takes away from a glory of a dominant Patriots team that I expect to roll to a title. Even if they flagged that play I would still expect NE to win.Looked like Marco Ruas against Paul Varlens.Announcers must be on the take too. When I saw it I thought it was obvious and flagrant.
