Is this the flag they picked up? I'm no where near 100% in the knowledge of what a PI call is. But they said on the comms it was because he wasn't looking at the ball? Well there are plenty of times when the DB plays the receiver rather than the ball as they are often facing the wrong way. And the contact was minimal anyway. He was just in the way of the WR and the ball. Is that not good play?

 

[Carrotdude]

My limited knowledge tells me that was definitely PI but I've seen worse ones given /not given this season. Main reason that one was so bad was that they changed their minds on it for no actual reason.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Having looked at it again it looks like there is enough contact to push him away. However I don't think he would have made the catch anyway.

 

[BillyDee]

It was a bad throw, was unlikely to be caught anyway. Have seen worse not given.

Problem is that even if there was no defensive pass interference there was also holding by the same defender that also went uncalled.

 

[The Bear]

The PI rule is bullshit anyway. Just because the corner is not looking at the ball he can't touch the player at all? Load of shite.

 

[Alan]

So what? Should the defender be able to just tackle any receiver? That'd make passing totally obsolete.

 

[The Bear]

I meant just that specific bit of the rule not the entirety.

It should be the same rule no matter which way he's looking.

 

[Alan]

Ah, I see what you're saying.

Patriots already 14-0 down in the first quarter. Not going to script.

Yesss Ravens!!!

 

[James]

BOOOOO Patriots

 

[Carrotdude]

Great start to this one, Ravens moving the ball with ease down the field. Gronkowski is a beast though!

 

[James]

Flacco seems to switch on for the play offs. A loss here is still a massive improvement on last season for the Ravens.

I wonder how that official standing 3 yards away and looking straight at it missed the absolutely blatant hold by the Patriots guard on their TD? Refs now starting to come to the Patriots defence... Notice there was no replay of the personal foul by Torrey Smith. Quelle fucking surprise...

Hahahaha Terrell Suggs: "Ball So Hard University"

If the Bills ever win anything I'm going to blame it on the refs.

 

[James]

Suggs is awful at times like most of the ravens tbh.

Yes there was, he pushed the guy in the face with both hands. There was also a missed flag on the Ravens side on that TD drive by patriots.

You might be waiting a long time for that opportunity!
