PI calls are so weird. You see a ball go 20 yards over a guy's head, but PI called when defender impedes him half a second before because who knows if it would have been catchable? But here they're going to try to say that it would have been impossible for Gronk to try to stop running if he didn't have a big azz dude shoving him out the end zone?
I kinda thought the call the previous drive where Olsen locked McCourty's arm under his & never let go, then McCourty got called for holding was even worse, exacerbated by Gruden acting like it was super obvious textbook defensive holding.
Saying the refs cost the Pats the game is silly tho. Ridley cost the Pats the game. Hold on to the f ball.
On the whole, fun game to watch, & a very successful fantasy football week in leagues that matter. 0 idea if I won in 4L?
