Here we go...

Panthers win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cheer:

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was about to be massively * at that flag. But no no no not today mr. Brady. 

[danlhart87]

Thanks Panthers! Colts are a little closer to that #2 seed.

[Moose Of Woe]

The throw was underneath/picked. No way for Gronk to get it.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Honestly I'm buying these Panthers, they have good defense ,adn man I was impressed with that O lines pass protection for 90% of the game. 

[Indyfan4life]

Brady is such a baby. Dude cussed the ref and walked off wiping the snot from under his nose. Get over it dude, wasn't going to be caught anyway.  

[oldunclemark]

  That was clear cut pass interference....the Carolina LB wrapped his arms around Gronkowksi

 

...I dont know why the ref throws the flag and then gets talked out of it..

 

Don't like to see bad endings like that..

 

Obvious foul by the home team ignored

[coltsleafs]

I lost by .02 points in fantasy because that was intercepted so I can barely enjoy the fact the pats lose. I find fantasy football ruins football lol

[James Harden]

Was it the right call? The defender was practically bear hugging gronk but ball was thrown underneath and got intercepted. The pats should have been given one more play.

Was going for the Panthers but the refs got some splainin to do after picking up that flag.

I've definitely seen PI for far less than that. Kind of a difficult call because Gronk didn't fight to get back to the ball, making it seem uncatchable. I don't know...

[Moose Of Woe]

I think it should have been a flag. Even though Gronk could not have caught that as it was picked well underneath him, he was still mucked with and a penalty should be a penalty. This was just a case of the refs "letting them play" I suppose.

 

Gotta love inconsistency or double standard officiating when your team is the one that gets jobbed. Of course most pretend it doesn't exist when it benefits their own team or goes against a team/player they hate.

...um no! Pereira, the VP of Officiating, will always make an excuse...

 

it was the wrong call but hey! It gets closer to Colts getting the #2 seed!

[mo0nlighting]

We're sitting at the #2 seed now for the playoffs.  Here we go!

[cmgww]

Pats board in full meltdown mode...yeah it was a PI, but they got one too on that questionable call on the Panthers DB that kept the final drive alive. Officiating really terrible all around these days. The NFL needs to step up and hire these guys full time like the other major sports. These dudes are bankers and lawyers in the offseason. This isn't 1972

think we are still #3 behind patriots

I'd love to hear the excuse. Oh well, sucks for New England. This isn't going to go over well with the media either.

Please tell me you at least have significant money at stake. You do know the Patriots losing helps the Colts?

[mo0nlighting]

Not according to espn.  We hold the better conference record at the moment.

[Moose Of Woe]

If anything I consider it a makeup for the uncalled cheap butt leg whip that nearly ended Carolina's best DE's season.

oh ok well that's awesome then.

Under the new agreement I think the nfl has the right to hire and train new guys to replace underperforming refs. Thank god.

[Coltsince4]

Looks like Bill B at pod em was holding back to knock someone out!! How come all he ever says is, they made more plays

then we did????

Ya there quite a bit of money the guy I was playing was 10 - 0 would have been nice to be the only one who beat him lol

Gronkowski was imply held and the refs didn't want to call it against the home team.

 

Embarassingly bad.

It should have been called, I agree. A penalty is still a penalty.

This is serious truth .....gm...

 

Bad call after bad call ,,,The NFL is better than insurance salesmen and gym teachers deciding entire seasons for good teams

[cmgww]

Lol at the retired players reenacting the key plays in suits. That never gets old

The sad part is they don't realize they've lost a step. Or two. Or fifty. They're not moving as fast as they think they are.

[BlueCollarColts]

Nope, we got the 2 side now

[cmgww]

Regardless of the call, Brady should be fined for screaming at the ref going into the tunnel. But he won't be bc he's Tom Brady

[oldunclemark]

 I got no love for the Patriots but they should have had one more play from the 1-yard-line... 

 

...Nobody can seriously argue Gronkowski wasnt held or that a ball 3 yards in front of his wasnt catchable

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Didn't Belichick get fined for doing the same thing in that Baltimore game?  I think he was mad about the game winning field goal.

As inexcusable as the call was, so is Tom Brady's "leadership" when he whines like a petulant child. He's done it periodically in the past with coaches/refs, but this season it's becoming a near weekly basis between coaches refs and now teammates.

 

When Brady doesn't get the time he's used to throw or he/his teammates mess up he blows his lid. It's like watching a time bomb any time he plays a team that can beat his O-line or slip ups mount.

 

We didn't see much of it in the past because few teams could beat his line.  It's still good at both pass and run blocking, but the pass blocking isn't a fortress anymore. It's still better than most and he should be counting his blessings he doesn't have one like Rodgers.

It does help the Colts.......

We're sitting at the #2 seed now for the playoffs.  Here we go!

And New England gets to play Denver next week...

I thought it was one of Brady's best games..and he had a point on the last play. He was right

[Pelt]

At the very least that was illegal contact 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. I can't believe I'm defending the Patriots on this one. I feel dirty. I'm going to go shower now...

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

...

I bet the SNF crew are furious they can't hype the Broncos-Pats game next week as the number 1 playoff seed matchup.
