If this does get overturned, how do the two personal fouls impact the next down?

No matter....

Theoretically though, curious what would have happened? Interested to know if the Pats would have been inside the 5 with a new set of downs or not.

 

[jamil]

i would have done the same ####in thing scott did.

 

[Cowboys#1]

what are the odds boller comes out and drives them down the field.

now what are the odds that Mark Clayton catches the winning TD?

500-1?

 

[weasel3515]

Definitely juggling it by a mediocre receiver. More Kraft money at work. Can't wait for the Pats to get beaten in the playoffs so everybody can say..."so what?".

 

[meeka]

I'd try an onside here.

SInce you can't touch it til the 25 I do not see why not.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

Refs gave this game to the Pats here

That's a VERY shady illegal contact call, and there was DEFINITELY movement on that ball in Gaffney's hands after he stepped out...

I've seen longer reviews for spotting the ball, they spend 30 seconds on THAT?

BS all the way

 

[UlyssesNorris]

Ravens going nuts on the field.

The way they've been returning the ball tonight, that's a huge meltdown.

 

[Kleck.]

That time out. OMG that time out!!

Couldn't have happened to a better coach.

 

[dickey moe]

What a crappy and controversial ending to an otherwise awesome game.

Controversial how? Even if they would have called Gaffney out of bounds the Pats would've scored the TD anyways.

 

[Popinski]

Absolutely not a catch. Refs need a summer course in how to evaluate a replay.

 

[Finless]

The Ravens will start the series in the stands.

yes

 

[harrycarey]

3 man rush again.How F###ing stupid can you be?

The defensive success came from getting pressure on Brady, and then on the deciding drive they decide to let him have all day? WTF

 

[treat88]

Grown-ups don't beotch about the calls. Scott should be ejected.

Ravens shouldn't of given it away. It's that simple.

 

[mad sweeney]

looks like incomplete to me, dont see how you can change hands and consider that having control of the ball. Refs will give it to them though, have given them the rest

Players change hands all the time. look at RBs.. just cause your swapping it.. doesnt mean you dont control the ball.

I don't think I've ever seen a pass ruled complete like that though.

 

[Steeler]

The Ravens self destructed at the end and were going to lose either way, but not overturning that TD was terrible.

 

[NJ]

lol if Gostkowski kicks it out of bounds and they get it at the 40.

 

[Joe Bryant]

Kornheiser genius - did Brady get lucky? Ya think Tony? Too funny.

J

 

[Cptchaz]

People can cry about the call there, but the Ravens let Gaffney get wide open, and Brady hit him.

Perhaps you should cry about that...

 

[Intergalactic Kegger]

Can't the patriots attempt a fg here? Not saying they should, but isn't that in the rules?

 

[David Yudkin]

Riddle me this . . .

On kickoffs, isn't the rule that kicking the ball out of bounds results in the ball being spotted 30 yards from the spot of the kick? If so, he should kick the ball out of bounds and pin them at the 5 yard line.

 

[LAUNCH]

I'd try for the onside.

LAUNCH

 

[Tau837]

clutch brady, he did a great job of getting the ball tipped, getting a flag on 4th down twice, extra time out. Man brady is huge there

 

[suchislife]

lmao @ "They are going to be kicking off at the Ravens 35"

Can they kick a FG from here?

 

[timschochet]

one thing about Boller, he's got a huge arm. time to use it.

 

[phrozen]

ANOTHER CALL IN FAVOR OF THE PATS. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO SAY THEY DON'T GET ALL THE CALLS. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. JUST GIVE THEM THE PERFECT SEASON ALREADY...

OMG WHY DO YOU HAVE TO YELL AT US?

 

[flapgreen]

Now that was hilarious

 

[Green and Gold]

And the FG is good on the kickoff.

 

[Cptchaz]

lol if Gostkowski kicks it out of bounds and they get it at the 40.

post of the night!

yes they would have. The penalties still would have counted.

Nah it's more fun to call the Patriots cheaters......

 

[mad sweeney]

Why not squib kick that and let some time run off the clock?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

What a crappy and controversial ending to an otherwise awesome game.

Agreed. Ref-ball blows, for everyone involved.

The Refs didn't call the timeout.

That's pretty poor logic

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

I don't understand that play.

You're down to their 35 to kick. Why not go for the onside kick? You get a decent shot at ending the game right there, if you don't, they get the ball around the 20 to 25 yard line

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Why are they trying to call a play??? SPIKE IT!!!

 

[dickey moe]

G

geez

 

[redman]

Grown-ups don't beotch about the calls. Scott should be ejected.Ravens shouldn't of given it away. It's that simple.

Brady's not a grown-up?

 

[The Duff Man]

What about those of us who aren't fans of either team and don't care much who wins but want to see professional referees who are competant?

resppectfully i dissagree. RBs are changin hands during a run. WRs "changing hands" during a catch is completely different. plus i don't think he was changing hands, that ball was barely touching either hand. i don't care who wins either way, but i don't think that was a catch

 

[timschochet]

ravens deserve to lose.

 

[gregjcross]

The Ravens will start the series in the stands.

Billick should clean out his office -- how do you freeze your offense for an entire quarter. Not blitz brady. Call that timeout. Be a disgrace.

[Finless]

This wasw a great game but the Ravens were just outfoxed by the B & B Touchdown Factory.

 

[RenegadeGM]

Ravens have them right where they want them... just have Boller take a knee and throw one 65 yards... isn't that what he's best known for???

 

[joffer]

lmao @ "They are going to be kicking off at the Ravens 35"

Can they kick a FG from here?

that's after a fair catch

Patriot fans really don't realize that they're jerkoffs.

 

[Eric]

Leave it to the flippin' refs to decide the games, yet again.........Then again, who's surprised..........and it's in the pats favor, no????

And the refs paid the Ravens to call that timeout at the worst possible time too.IT'S AN INSIDE JOB, WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!
