So. Ow your saying there is one angle showing the ball hitting the ground thus absolute proof. And the second one was the close up they showed during the game. As well as one from the end zone.. but ya only one angle showed it.

No he didn't, it was the right call. As for not whining to the media, it's obvious the Bills have minimal contact with Chef and the whining by Steelers. Heck Big Ben is blaming the coach for the INT. So trust me they be whining to the media if they thought they were screwed.. mind you they will lose to the Jags in the divisional round and their will not be a rematch.

Wow! Ok your just grasping at straws EVERY angle shows the ball hitting the ground EVERY angle! The simple fact is he tried to do to much. And the Steelers lost the game when Big Ben decided to force a ball in and got picked off.. the game was amazing and felt like a playoff game.

Which he did not! Even the steeler coach didn't argue about the call. And trust me he is a big old whined he would have! Sigh it's the rule, he failed maintain possession to the ground no matter how you try spin it. Again even the Steelers didn't disagree with it. I mean I know all the arm chair QBs know better than Romo ( a former player who knows the rule) and every referee in the game. I mean it's just best say they were jobbed instead of him just screwing up.

Sorry caps on my phone I must have hit the double cap button. As for your assertion his hand was under it, No one saw that NO one! Now your changing your argument. He lost control once the ball hit the ground and the ball hit the ground.

The indisputable evidence was the ball moving when he hit the ground. THAT IS OBVIOUS AND EVIDENT TO ANYONE SAW THE GAME! I agree I thought it was a TD and was going over in ny head.. ok Brady gets 28 seconds on their own 25 with 2 time outs.. ya this is possible.

I believe I read on bleacher report the rule states he much maintain control to the ground even in the end zone.

Well he did that today trying tackle Bell.. I kinda groaned and sighed. But his play has been a billion times better since his "concussion" and he missed three weeks.

It was called correctly. He has to maintain control ALL the way to the ground which includes contact with said ground.

See I disagree that it robbed them of a win. The Pats had 28 seconds and 2 time outs and well Gronk was getting 25 to 30 yards a catch so it is very plausible if unlikely the Pats score in the last 28 seconds.

He really wasn't exposed. What was exposed was some terrible tackling by our front seven and that's about it. The secondary on the whole did their part were just asked cover to long. (I firmly believe if the Steeers had a brain and just fed Bell all game they win by 10 as our D couldn't stop him.)

Yes because he doesn't fall down then. But since he was going down he must maintain control all the way to the ground. It is obvious the football moves and hit the ground.

Tony Romo even said it was not a catch BASED on how the rule is written. I will bow to his knowledge of the rule as I long ago lost any idea what is or is t a catch in the NFL. I also hate the WR being knocked out by a defender not being able to catch the ball. That rule should be written if he goes out of his own accord not knocked out by a defender.. a lot of terrible rules in the NFL.

Maybe I wrote it wrong, my point was the Bills have amazing rabid fans who love the team and show up every week even though the team doesn't give them any real reason to do this. (What I meant they need to prove themselves worthy of you guys.) as for moving before Kraft bought the team it was widely thought they were going to move to LA. (Every team struggles get the stupid rumors.)

I will play devils advocate for Bills fans. Let's face it you have all seen this song and dance before and every time the team lands flat on its face, maybe the team should prove they are worthy of such rabid fans instead of thinking of greener pastures?

That's why the next week the refs did the same thing in a different game with two different teams. Once is an accident twice is a trend alsonhow wasn't that a catch? He was reaching out to put it into the end zone. He had control of the ball and I will argue his football move was stretching out to reach the goal line. Once a football move is made it is a catch.

Common sense? The NFL? Common sense was that was a completion Dez Bryant had and not an incomplete pass.. common sense says the Jets scored a TD and didn't fumble it out of the end zone. Sorry but common sense has not reigned in the NFL for so long I can't remember it ever happening.

Maybe he is from the future.. ? we have a lot of dumb bandwagon fans. A lot of them!!

We will disagree on the call being wrong. But that's ok. As someone else shared the Pats had the same thing called on them with the Jets(?) earlier in the year and it looked almost identical.. which is why so many Pats fans KNEW the tuc rule applied based on how it was called earlier in the year. I will go on to say, yes Brady was not throwing the ball but by the letter of the dumbest rule ever it was an incomplete pass.

Sadly the Pats boards are filled with wagon loads of those! ? The tuc rule was a god awful rule! It WAS called correctly. Of all things complain about that's one of the weaker ones, it was a rule, it was called correctly.. AND all the Raiders had to do was stop Brady in fourth down and the failed to do it.

First I am glad Tre is ok and cleared to play Sunday. second, if they do anything flagrant now on Gronk it won't be a one or two game suspension it will be Goodell putting the hammer down to show he has control. My guess is 6-8 games suspension.. why? Because that is Roger Goodell NFL policy.. which is we can't figure out what the hell punishment gets what.. They have looked into a targeting rule the last two years, if this actually makes them adopt one then MAYBE something good come out of the whole incident.

Because I have already stated numerous times Gronk deserved more. That doesn't mean JuJu didn't deserve one. if it had just been the hit he just gets fined, if he had just taunted it be just a fine.. he did both so a DOUBLE violation he got a game. I like JuJu, hell I thought the hit was a clean hit, I thought his taunting was stupid.

No bonus they actually reworked his contract last year and missing the game going to PROBABLY cost Gronk a couple of million in incentives he won't make now. IMO he got game suspension not just for the hit, but for the taunting afterwards. He did two No No's in a game full of them. (That said I had a hard time feeling sorry for the man he hit man is the dirtiest player in the NFL.)

Reread what I said, I was going by what the LETTER said not that the two punishments should be the same or are even the same. (I have said I thought Gronk deserved at least 2 games)

ESPN is wrong regarding the Sergio brown incident, no fine at all. He got one for taunting against the Bengals AFTER Berfect stepped on blount leg. He also got one for the SB WHEN THE Hawks went stupid. So twice he has been fined but not for roughing.. and FYI he deserved 2 at least for this offense was just plain dumb!
