Freddie's Dead Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Except it's not. Just another example of how those cheatin' mother ***** get away with murder right under the refs' noses.
LABILLBACKER Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 All I know is no player from either team should ever re-set the ball. The entire organization have been taught to cheat. It's what they do and I guarantee you the league will ignore this. Because they are the Patriots. 2

The NFL piloted putting positional sensors in balls a couple years back and then dropped it (unless they quietly still have 'em and that's where the passing charts in NFL Nextgen Stats come from in which case WHY are we dealing with this stone-age stuff?) 1 1 1

ocemur Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I keep telling you guys, we need to just give Massachusetts back to the Wampanoag tribe. It's like a toxic waste dump for people. 1 1

I'm not sure how this changes anything. A player shouldn't be a adjusting the placement of the ball. 1

And the real issue is the ref w the better view was a yard apart (in our favor) and there was no discussion as to where it should be. Bs

I've worked on systems that do positional tracking in small scale environments. While the technology is there, it's still not 100% feasible. Easiest way, but not the cheapest, would be to pull out the entire field and place sensors under the turf, we're talking like 10 feet apart. So imagine the cost of all that equipment. Then you also have to hope they don't get damaged, or the wiring corrodes, etc. Maybe someday, yes, it can happen. I just don't see it happening soon.

X10000 If you have an open opportunity to hit a non-sliding Brady, you smash him into next week. Make sure he doesn't get up. Do NOT hold up. For the love of god. Same goes for PEDelman, crush that little twink that thinks he's a lot tougher than he actually is.

The refs should be embarrassed AND punished! Just from this past game there was at least 3 bull#### moves by the Pats that I can think of off the top of my head (Brady attempted trip, Edelman fake head injury, and this). Its become like the Jeffrey Epstein situation where everyone knows the ***** is going to happen and nothing gets done about it.

Nothing to see here...unlike 3-4 other key moments during that game. we are not talkjing about a payer who moved/extended the ball forward as play ends. Most players do that to get furthest possible consideration for where the ball was when his knee touched. Especially on tackles near first line marker. This was a case of ref spotting ball and as 3 refs run in and are not looking at ball so much and other player moves it back a full yard. It was just perfect happening that all 3 refs not looking at that exact quick timing moment. Like when a guy is running free and looks left then right at just the wrong time to keep the defender gaining fast on him in the player with ball blind spot. Like when Leon Lett had ball knocked out by Beebe the other defender who could have blocked Beebe did that head turn thing. Edited December 23, 2019 by cba fan
