That bobble on the TD catch was.....no catch a few weeks ago. Goes both ways...... glad we aren’t complaining the Cheaters got all the breaks. I thought without a doubt that they were going to over turn that TD.
CommonCents Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) If the bobbled catch and the illegal formation make it a harder on the Pats and their fans I'm all for it. Make this thing as painful as possible. Keep reviewing those tapes I'm sure they missed a holding or two! Edited February 5, 2018 by Commonsense 1

The one I thought for sure they would overturn was the RB, Clement. I thought for sure they would rule that he didn't have clear possession on the 1st two steps and then stepped out before he regained it. To my eyes he caught the ball, took 2 steps, then repositioned it so it would "survive the ground" but I was expecting the refs to see it differently. 3

Usually they point to ref get confirmation because it's hard to judge actual line Correct Had he been too far back in the ref's opinion, he'd simply have moved up A penalty was never in play
H2o Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Let Pats fans piss and moan about how they were "jobbed" by the refs. Personally idgaf how it happened, I'm just happy they lost.

Its a penalty they just arent calling. 1

He checked with the linesman; WRs do it every play If you want to complain about penalties that aren't called, the conversation cannot begin anywhere except at Ineligible Lineman Downfield; it happens on every screen pass in the game and is NEVER called

It looked like that toe was on the white when he regained control. OK, here's the youtube clip. Look at it with the sound off. Especially the view at 0:31. I think what people see is being influenced by the announcers. What I see is that Clement has the ball caught between his R hand, his L arm, and his body. He never bobbles it, ball never wobbles or starts to "pop up". Both feet down. Now, from the front, it looks like he has control, and he shifts it to his L arm so it will "survive the ground", steps OOB, and goes to the ground cradling the ball between his L hand and body. It is allowed to manipulate the ball after you catch it! You can cover it up, shift it from one arm to another, so forth. Especially, the guy is an RB, that's what they're coached to do, shift the ball from one arm to another if it will better protect it from being knocked out by a defender as they go to the ground. Collinsworth, looking at it from the side where you can't tell what is going on with Clement's hands, starts talking about how he starts to "lose control" then steps out before he recovers. That's BS, Clement never loses control, he shifts the ball from his R hand to his L so as he goes down, he contacts first with his R arm and protects the ball with his L hand, arm, and body. I will admit, I thought it would be overturned, but that wasn't because I thought it should be overturned, it's because I've thought there have been outrageous overturns all season.

BillzFreak Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Honestly we have all witnessed the calls that have went the pats way this year, I have no sympathy for them on any of the so called "close" calls.

Absolutely plus the Pats got a full helping of non-calls (against them) and ticky-tack calls (against Eagles) this game. 1

I think people don't care bc it's not going to change any time soon. Or ever. They rake in the money so embarrassingly bad and inconsistent officiating is not a concern to them.

He is almost in the exact same place as the wing back. If that is considered on the line its the most liberal definition I've ever seen the refs take...he clearly is not on the line. He's not 3 yards off the line and he checked with the ref. It also meant no difference ....just stop! The Pats deserve nothing. 1
Big Gun Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 I guess the Pats finally found out how hard it is to win when you have to beat the team in front of you and the referees too. Hahahaha, couldn't happen to a better bunch of jackoffs.
toto8 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Jeffrey checked with the ref not once but twice. I just saw a youtube video to confirm. So no penalty.
Murdox Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Frankly, the Patriots had so few penalties called on them it's not a big deal. I saw several holds by Patriots players over the course of the game that weren't called on both sides of the ball. There were also a few times that interference could have be called on the Patriots defenders but they escaped without a call. It's clear the refs were going with a "let the boys play" philosophy last night and they were generally only calling obvious penalties. As for whether the Ertz final TD was a completion or not, they ended up calling him a runner - he had clearly already taken at least two strides before leaping into the endzone. Therefore, correctly, he was ruled a runner. In the Pittsburgh game, the receiver just leaned back after catching the ball and they ruled that he failed to have completed the catch because he did not make a "football move": Article 3 Completed or Intercepted Pass. A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) if a player, who is inbounds: (a) secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and (b) touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and (c) maintains control of the ball long enough, after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, to enable him to perform any act common to the game (i.e., maintaining control long enough to pitch it, pass it, advance with it, or avoid or ward off an opponent, etc.).

Guess it was Pats turn to get screwed last night by the stripes Hahahahaha. I always thought that was a dumb rule, can anyone explain to me the logic behind the rule, specifically on this play, is there an advantage for Jeffrey to line up like this?
