[Inspekdah]

he still held the ball...its a catch

How bad is the expert ref in the booth who says 100% incomplete

 

[bones]

he had ball over the line with possession...he lost control but regained possession

exactly...my first thought was "no wonder these games get fucked up"

 

[Inspekdah]

Exactly. It bounced up but never hit the ground. But trust the experts. This turd was a crew leader for 30 years

 

[DOUBLEUP4LIFE]

Why is new England an absolute juggernaut tonight!?

Because they play again on prime time next Thursday vs the BILLS ...They need a hyped up matchup on Amazon after mostly duds

 

[guaranteeed]

Ok there it hits ground

 

[bones]

well if ball hit the ground then? not a catch

 

[guaranteeed]

Mcauley definitely wasnt saying that earlier

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Ground jars the ball loose…not a catch

 

[bones]

Ground jars the ball loose…not a catch

If ball had not hit ground it wud be a catch

 

[Inspekdah]

That’s a weird call considering his hand was under it when it popped loose

 

[bones]

If rules were consistent, it wud be a TD the millisecond ball crosses goal line with possession

 

[Gandolf]

Bad interpretation. Henry didn't lose control when the ball touched the ground. He lost control after and then the ball didn't touch the ground.

 

[CPA-hole]

I hate that its a td as soon as it breaks the plane for a RB but what Henry did there isn't.

 

[bones]

the pats corners tackle

 

[Inspekdah]

Yeah, That makes zero sense

 

[Inspekdah]

Refs don’t miss anything on the Pats. Look away on blatant holds on Vikes

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Because a running back has possession but a receiver doesn’t have possession until he‘s secured the catch but Henry didn‘t catch it (hence it wasn’t a fumble)

 

[CPA-hole]

I understand the rule, I'm just saying I don't like it.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Bad interpretation. Henry didn't lose control when the ball touched the ground. He lost control after and then the ball didn't touch the ground.

Then what caused him to lose control? The ground jarred the ball loose because he never had sufficient control to call it a catch, hence it wasn’t a fumble

 

[VirginiaCavs]

I understand the rule, I'm just saying I don't like it.

But it would be too easy to get touchdowns, a wide receiver would just have to manipulate the ball over the goal line whatever happens afterwards be damned, it would be like alley oops. Receivers should have to catch the ball

 

[VirginiaCavs]

If ball had not hit ground it wud be a catch

He didn’t actually have control hence the ball appeared to jar it loose

 

[CPA-hole]

Missy St just let Ol Miss back in it.

 

[Gandolf]

Then what caused him to lose control? The ground jarred the ball loose because he never had sufficient control to call it a catch, hence it wasn’t a fumble

He lost control because his body hit the ground, not because the ball hit the ground.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

He lost control because his body hit the ground, not because the ball hit the ground.

But the ball hits the ground then wobbles

 

[Inspekdah]

We’re watching a fix live

 

[bones]

bs call...very bad

 

[Gandolf]

Can the Vikes block up just one Cook running play? Just one?

 

[VirginiaCavs]

We’re watching a fix live

You are repeatedly so determined to see things as fixed

 

[Inspekdah]

Diggs took 6 of those today

 

[Inspekdah]

You are repeatedly so determined to see things as fixed

Let me know the the refs miss something on the Pats

And when I say someone is selling I just mean they stink

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Wtf is a defensive back supposed to do when receiver moves like that…how is db even supposed to see that wr will drop it. Such stupid pussy bullshit fucking refs

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Let me know the the refs miss something on the Pats

And when I say someone is selling I just mean they stink

Yeah is that some 90‘s slang or what am I missing?

 

[Inspekdah]

Yeah is that some 90‘s slang or what am I missing?

I don’t think so. I just say it.

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Boom

 

[bones]

Im surprised they did not call roughing the passer

 

[Inspekdah]

Why not flag the Pats there. They tackled Theilin rough

 

[Gandolf]

But the ball hits the ground then wobbles

HIs hand was under the ball. His hand hit the ground, he still had two hand control. His body hit the ground and he started to roll. That's when he loses control. But from the time he loses control to when he regains control the ball never hits the ground. I think by the rule's intent that's a catch. I don't think they want the ground to help a non-catch look like a catch, which is what we see overturned a dozen times a week. I don't think they applied the rules right here.

He basically bounced the ball up to himself.

 

[B.A.R.]

They don't run ball anymore.

 

[B.A.R.]

You guys been talking about a review for 20 mins lol.

It's the NFL, you know better.

Odd too, Patriots usually get the benefit of the calls.

 

[Gandolf]

They don't run ball anymore.

16 carries though....but his longest run is 6 stinking yards. They do no blocking to the 2nd level.

That's a lot for him lately.

I feel ya.

 

[Gandolf]

The screens to Cook are even worse. Three blockers and none of them can get a body on anyone.

 

[Inspekdah]

Refs asking Kev if he wants a TO

 

[Gandolf]

Refs asking Kev if he wants a TO

He burned a second half TO and got stuck with 3rd and 14 anyway. Ball don't lie

 

[Inspekdah]

What bad special teams by NE tonight

 

[guaranteeed]

What an idiot strong

 

[bones]

I took Under 61.5 +105 for 1/2 unit...then this penalty

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Comedy of penalties
