I do like calls like that from the refs

 

[Alan]

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.

Referees in human error shocker.

 

[Carrotdude]

Pats just got a 15 yard penalty for taunting.

In fairness that missed call was awful for Brady's TD but I think the official just was looking past it at Brady - wrongly obviously. Good that they are highlighting things like that on sky though

Do y'all have your own cameras or do we all see the same thing?

It should be 14-0

That missed penalty gave the Patriots 4 points. If the Pats win by a FG that horrible non call matters a LOT, and it is NO surprise that it went in the Patriots favour. Feel free to remain blind to the obvious. Every time it comes to a crunch moment, or a call that can change the momentum of the game, the Pats will get help from their buddies in the zebra stripes, bet your house on it.

I just take it at face value, nothing I can do if it's dodgy anyway so why get worked up? If I thought it was as bad as you make out I wouldn't bother watching.

So Brady throws a pick and the Ravens drive for a TD with 10 seconds remaining in the first half! slightly dodgy PI call on that drive that kept it going. Also gronk was interfered with just now on a pats 3 and out and it was missed. But that's none of my business...

 

[The Bear]

Paging Toon.

 

[Alan]

Cam Newton is such a fraud.

 

[The Bear]

Just a couple of poor throws/decisions really. Good defence to pick them off though.

 

[The Bear]

Can someone tell me what the little blue things are that the refs throw down during the plays?

I may be wrong Bear but I think they're bean bags to mark a spot/ moment in time on the pitch at which a certain event occurred (pass, fumble, runner breaks the plane, interception).

Tossed when there is a turnover in possession IIRC.

 

[The Bear]

Ok ta.

 

[Carrotdude]

Bryant with a hell of a catch on 4th down to take Dallas to within inches of a touchdown to retake the lead.

No! Call reversed after packers challenge. Watching without sound and can't really tell why, looked clean to me?

 

[Alan]

Ball hit the ground and he lost possession of it at the 1 yard line. Good call by the refs.

 

[Carrotdude]

Really? Surely his knee hit the ground at the same time too?

 

[Alan]

Doesn't matter if you don't have full possession of the ball before the knee goes down.

 

[Carrotdude]

But he did surely? Was tucked in his arm and had taken two steps before he landed? Very very harsh imo
