Pats vs. Broncos 1/14/2006

[See Red]

Good D by New England. Broncos get the ball to start the half, so it's big to keep it within 7, especially with the way the Broncos D has played.

[yeszir]

I have a question. Was that pass interference call one of the bigger ******** calls ever made?

[See Red]

How do you fumble when being tackled by the kicker? If that's me, I consider a career change.

 

In the returners defense, he's not a small punter...

I don't know about ever, but it was pretty bad. If the score remains unchanged, the Bronco's MVP will be wearing black and white.

In slow motion, yeah. But at full speed, I was irrate when I thought they weren't going to call it.

[riverside sluggers]

It would appear so, a 40 yard gift to Denver. It was the same referees who tried to say assante didnt catch the interception in bounds

[schillingouttheks]

Whoops, double post. Posting got messed up again.

[schillingouttheks]

The refs handed Denver 7 points. The last 3 were our fault, but they gave them 7 f***ing points. The Pats SHOULD have at least a 3 point lead right now, maybe a tie.

 

What's Tagliabue's number?

[ARod2212]

Yeah Pats got screwed there. Let's see some more offense here in the second half, eh?

[See Red]

Yep, so unfair with the Patriots having never ever benefitted from human error in the past. People, they don't have the benefit of replay on penalty calls. Nobody's trying to screw the Patriots.

Past doesn't count here, the right calls should be made. I'm the last person in the world to feel sorrow for the poor Patriots, but that's a tough call for them to take.

 

That said, the real Championship teams get past those things and overcome it in the second half.

[schillingouttheks]

Well, I've seen the right D-Tackle (maybe End) of Denver lining up in the neutral zone at least 5 times and not once has it been called. On that long completion to Andre Davis, Davis was taken down with hands on the upper part of his face mask. If anything, Lelie, somehow having been victim to a "defensive pass interference" call, should have been charged with OFFENSIVE pass interference. Look at the replay, Lelie was grabbing Samuel's jersey if anything. On the 50 yard fieldgoal, one of the linemen on the right of Denver clearly jumped before the ball was snapped.

 

It's ********. I wish one of these, well I'm being generous by saying one of these, but the way this is going I'll just say one, were called. The way these defenses are playing, this could be the final score of the game.

 

But of course, I'm pretty sure the Pats have benefitted from this magnitude of penalty calls in the past, right?

[See Red]

I've seen Tom Ashworth with a hand on the left side of Lynch's shoulder pad and the other hand on the back of Lynch's other shoulder without a holding call on the Patriots FG drive. They've missed calls on the Pats too. There's been no lining up in the Neutral zone, there's a referee right on the line, it would be called if that was the case.

[schillingouttheks]

Fair enough. But even so, Lynch wouldn't have had a chance with Ashworth in the way. There hasn't been a call as costly against the Broncos as there was on the Pats.

 

But like ARod said, true championship teams overcome them.

[schillingouttheks]

10-6. I'll take this any day.

 

Pats stop the Broncos, get a FG, repeat. I can live with it.

[riverside sluggers]

ooh damn, brady threw at deion's feet.

 

I'll still take 3 points over no points

That's true, that was the most costly. I've learned to just keep in mind that the refs are human without benefit of instant replay. I give them a lot of slack... much more than I give NBA refs, they're just bad!

[schillingouttheks]

Haha, the first thing though, that pissed me off with these refs, is that they didn't even say Samuel had the pick in the first place without replay. I saw from my couch which is 15 feet away from the TV that it was a clean pick. I could have seen it even better from about 5 away.

[schillingouttheks]

Down goes Plummer. These are the Pats we all know and love.

[schillingouttheks]

Denver, meet Troy Brown. You didn't see him last time. Oh yeah, Bruschi, Seymour, Faulk and Dillon too.

[element1151]

My God.

[See Red]

Definetely not conclusive. Close, though. Too tough. If it had been originally ruled a touchback, it wouldn't have been overturned either.

[riverside sluggers]

Belichick wouldnt have called the flag for just shits & giggles, he knew there couldve been a call to go the Patriots' way. But there wasnt a good camera angle to back that up.

[ARod2212]

I thought touchback right away, that would've been my inital call. Some hustle there by Watson, not easy to run down Champ Bailey.

 

Golden Boy blew it right there with that pick, rushed his throw. Outstanding defense from the Broncos.

[MANNYHOF24]

just before the Brady pick my brother was like, i Bet Brady pulls a Bledsoe right here, and boom it happens, the things i would like to do to him right now

[ORS]

Where's the gimmicky Super Bowl pylon-camera when you need it?

[MANNYHOF24]

Corey-Corey-Corey

[MANNYHOF24]

its safe to say, this is the biggest 3rd down of the season

[Aboveallodds24]

hey, i cant quite see it, but what is the score? just curious :-)

[See Red]

I would agree with that sentiment.

 

edit: i was talking about the biggest third down of the season, post.
