wth..

[oldunclemark]

Here comes the '12th man'

[2006Coltsbestever]

That ball wasn't even catchable, ok REFS here we go.

[RockThatBlue]

Its unnecessary roughness to hit the person receiving a pass?

[Gramz]

Oh Jags...  don't get S t u p i d   now

[BOTT]

Just throw it it up....get penalty

[dgambill]

That’s a horrible two calls. Horrible.

[oldunclemark]

 Disaster series for Jax but they still lead at the half

[21isSuperman]

A few really ugly and unnecessary penalties and the Pats gain momentum back

[Chrisaaron1023]

congrats patriots.. what a drive

Gronk always looks dazed, so how can you tell?

Yeah, Grunk is goof ball

It wasn’t even that it’s the fact that the wr was out of bounds...he isn’t even eligible.

[Colts_Fan12]

All you had to do was snap the * ball Blake!!!

[Chrisaaron1023]

i guess uncatchable doesn't matter anymore

[poaponies]

If Gronk doesn’t come back that will be a big lose for the pats

I know, that thing wasn't even catchable, what a joke  14-10 now. I have a feeling the 2nd Half Jacks will collapse!

[coltsfansince65]

I hate how you ALWAYS have to beat the refs in NE too.

[Buddy Lee]

Jags wanted them to score to give Bortles time to respond...lol

[Nesjan3]

LOL to 48 yards out of that 80 yard drive coming from penalties, here we go again with the refs at Gillette, that ball was uncatchable

The hit on Gronk?  That was obvious helmet to helmet

That the most important and they get the ball to start the second half.

Right he didn't lead with his helmet or anything gronk dove and his head hit his shoulder such a b.s. call

[BloodyChamp]

It's been a pretty clean game as far as the refs but the reaction by the announcers still sells the ref bias. Every time the Pats throw an incomplete pass they go "noooooooo flag!" Not no flag, which isn't something they say after every incomplete pass in other games, but noooooo flag. Then when they got the flag just now was all YES FLAG! 

[ColtsGermany]

Patriots and the revs.... The biggest lovestory of all time.

Good penalty if he doesn’t come back.

Why the NFL doesn't have the college rule of ejection for a game makes no sense .  You could theoretically do this every week to the opposition's best player with little recourse.  

[Tsarquise]

"well they have got Tom Brady, I think we know how special he is, that's why they score at the end of every half."

 

Tony Romo. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Come on Bortles, shock everyone and throw deep

Exactly. These refs are helping the Pats win. Not a surprise.

I normally am all for protecting a wr but the defender didn’t lead with his head and even turned his body. Gronk was falling so that is why they hit heads. Gronk is 6’7....church is like 6 inches below. That is just unlucky.

[oldunclemark]

absolutely right...just run the clock out

[2006Coltsbestever]

Takes a knee

I might need to look at it again but I don't think he led with his helmet. Gronk put his head down it looked like to me.

[oldunclemark]

14-10......Jax....a lot better than I thought they'd be

[2006Coltsbestever]

55 seconds, 2 timeouts and a knee!

Defiantly didn't lead with his helmet even turned his body

Yep, that is just ridiculous.

Defenseless receiver....doesn't matter.

He turned his body to avoid targeting him. Gronk just stumbled down to him. There was nothing he could do to avoid it he even pulled up.
