BeeR 242 Posted December 18, 2017 The only thing they had to do was make sure they didn't turn it over and it's a chip shot FG to go to OT. What do they do? Smooth. Classic NE win: it's handed to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Montana is da Man 3,077 Posted December 18, 2017 As always, NE finds a way to win and like you said, it's usually not because they did anything. Brady should have been intercepted on the first play of his final drive and Pitt dropped it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaft 1,015 Posted December 18, 2017 I'm honestly starting to think Brady and Belichick must have sold their souls for these things to work out the way they do for them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboysDiehard 534 Posted December 18, 2017 Garbage call by the zebras on that TD. The ball was in the James' possession across the goal line. The micromanaging that goes on in that situation is ruining the game. Seriously. If you disagree with me, go #### yourself. That was utter bullshait. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree. The zebras are probably dropping trou in the shower for them right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rule might be garbage but that call has been an easy incomplete for awhile now. James knew it on the sideline and so did everyone else.

buddahj 360 Posted December 18, 2017 That call probably cost me a chance at a championship in my local. Well that and the 2 overturned TDs on Thomas and the one against the Jax defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rule is keeping complete control after that fact; all the way to the ground. He lost control of the ball. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going against Ingram in one so that didn't help and then got Gurley'd in the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He lost control of the ball. After he crossed the plane. That’s like saying whenever a player jumps over the pylon and drops the ball out of bounds then they fumbled out of the end zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See Calvin Johnson See Dez Bryant I'm not trying to argue the rule is a good one. But it was ruled correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gourdeau 475 Posted December 18, 2017 But if hes touched before he extends the ball he is down by contact.. its (the really bad word)ing retarded 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gourdeau 475 Posted December 18, 2017 Anyway the rule is the rule. Fact is Ben made a horrific call there and handed that game BUT there should of been the interception on Brady the previous drive to end it. No Brown, no Haden. I dont care if the game is on the road or not Pittsburgh will win the rematch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the locker room after the game the asked Big Ben about it and he said he wanted to clock the ball and kick it, Todd Hailey told him run the play. Bad decision on the throw tho, said that puppy thru the uprights or put it in the dirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
