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!

First it was the dirtiest play I have seen ever! That includes Suh stepping on Rogers. Also if you honestly believe they be looking for "truth" you don't know the NFL. They just want their pound of flesh and Buffalo lose more draft picks than the Pats have combined and be fined millions of dollars after the false investigation. (Don't believe me ask Elliott)

I need someone how 1 penalty negates 2.. then a second one is on its own and is enforced? The game was over at that point, so wasn't to "help" the Pats as much as just piss poor refs and then wanting punish the team hurt one of their feelings with words.

That is true, but the Seahawks were being stupid and were just ticked off. I say his bigger offense was being an idiot (again) and getting the taunting penalty in Cincy which got him benched for a bit. Gronk a a great player but he occasionally does idiot and dumb things. Some more iodtic and dumb than others.

Lol in all seriousness I understand going after Gronk or even hitting the other WR a little harder and perhaps later, but going after the player the NFL has crowned the GOAT be crazy. Not to mention it's in NE not Buffalo so your not alone with crazy dumb fans, matter fact we have a bandwagon full of them!

Be the dumbest thing the Bills ever did is to go after Brady. As I stated before the NFL cares only about $$, and Brady love him or hate him is a $$$ machine for the NFL. If the Bills go after him you would see a big old fake investigation and the Bills Organization be hit hard. Why? Because you disrupted the cash flow of the NFL and that will. It be tolerated. (Even if it was a lone wolf hit)
