We wasn’t down. Jack recovers the ball, and wasn’t touched down. He had a clear path to the end zone. Watch his reaction. He was pissed at the whistle, because he knew it was bullshit. That blown call won the game for the Pats. Again. Also the PI on Bouye was touchy. Cooks threw a forearm. I really thought they were going to call that on the offense. But no. It’s the Pats. The Pats had one penalty called against them the whole game. And after the final play the ref. fist bumps Brady. I’m not normally one for conspiracy theories, but there is something there.
He was touched while down. Watch the replay. The Pats player touched his with his leg. What about Amandola waving his hands on a punt reception.He wasn't calling fair catch but some Jags looked like they pulled up.
As i see it the play Jack was down by contact, as he was going to the ground, was in contact with Lewis and strip the ball and he gained his initial control while still in contact with Lewis, so that is enough touching to be down. The fact that he subsequently finished the elements to complete possession (body part down and survive the ground), it does not matter as he was touched as he went to the ground. It is no different than a a WR who is touch as he jumps, then falls and separates from the defender and rolls to the ground to complete possession is done due to the initial touch. As for the Bouye call, he rode Cooks out of bounds which is PI
The waving Amandola did is what usually happens when a punt returner is telling his teammates to stay away. This is usually done when the punt returner does not expect to catch the ball and will let it roll. Had Amandola given the fair catch symbol and retuened the punt its a 5 yard penalty. I think the reason why the defenders where out of place was due to the punt going the wrong direction.
Again Amendola was not signaling a fair catch. This is done by raising your arm up in the air above your head. If you review the footage his hands do not go above his head.
1.) If you look at the replay you see the clock has expired before the ball is hiked. So why is this sketchy? It would have been sketchy if the Jags were allowed the play without a penalty. 2.) I don't like the pass interference rules and the way it exist in todays game. However, in that play the Patriot receiver Cooks is pushed out of bounds and there is physical contact. There is also physical contact with Cooks pushing the defender back. The physical contact was initiated by the defender hence the PI call was right.
I am sorry but I just don't understand your logic here. Would you not rather have the Eagles beat Brady and the Patriots outright? If Brady is injured and that's how the Eagles win, wouldn't it be a shallow victory? Otherwise is it your position that the only way for the Eagles to win is a Brady injury? If it is, I totally disagree with you. The Patriots can be beaten and you can't expect them to be making 4th quarter comebacks for ever. I think the Eagles should be favored in this game but I would never bet against the Patriots and Brady. For example I hate Cam Newton so much so I was rooting for Denver in the Super Bowl even though they beat my Pats in the AFC Championship game. Had Cam been injured I would have rooted for the Panthers then. Watching Cam suffer the agony of defeat to me was more enjoyable than seeing him carted of the field. I took no pleasure in hearing that Cam suffered concussions the following year. Again I want him to be perfectly healthy when he is humiliated in the football field. Maybe I am not the normal one here.
I actually agree with you. I want two seasons of Brady similar to Favres last season with the Vikings. i want the game to pass him by. I want him struggling to walk off the field because his body just won't do it anymore. Most of all I want his ego to hear the showers of BOOs in Foxborough when every asshat that's been jerking him off for the last 15 years turns their back on him when he goes 4-12. It's what every P*ts fan that ever said "I don't pay attention to the NFL until the AFC Championship cause nothing really matters for the P*ts until then." deserves.
Oh they deserve much more than that.How Bout 40 straight years of no playoffs & people still hating their guts for being complete dicks Over the last 16 years. Let em sit on the cheater label they’ve sidestepped when they aren’t winning anymore. Karma’s long overdue..LONG..
Oh my post was only about the end of Brady's career. Boston sports in general can fade into oblivion. I want to see Boston as a city (P*ts, Celtics, Bruins, Sox) to become the new Cubs but without the lovable loser sympathy part. This kid as an adult and his children will pay for the hubris of the current fan base and the sins of the Belicheck regime.
His family tweeted this out while at the Cheater parade last year. It immediately resulted in Backlash including wishes for injury & the like. I hope your're right. The situation is bad enough before they start trying to rationalize it by talk of the lowly 80's & 90's.What a joke.they deserve REAL sports hard ship
Just wait til they start losing and the bandwagon fans outside the geographical Boston area start tuning out. Suddenly they aren't the prime time money maker and all those close referee calls stop going their way.
Theoretically you are right. But have you seen the posts from patriot fans on here dating back 16 years? I can tell you here in Hartford county many fans 100% live THROUGH the Patriots. Turning the other cheek doesn't work...had some bonehead at 6AM this morning try to start shit w me in line for med. labs solely cause I had a Jets beanie on. At what point is fighting back acceptable??is nearly 2 decades of this crap not enough???
