The third foot isn't really used to judge that. Players take an extra step all the time in the field of play then get the ball knocked out and it's still called an incompletion. That's why they specify "an act common to the game" and not just a step.

We've seen two plays similar to this in the past two weeks (Gabe Davis against the Vikings and Lamb on Thanksgiving) where the ball clearly moved and the review booth either didn't stop play to review it or confirmed it was a catch. Poyer had control of the ball for much longer than either of those two before the ball moved and he completed a football move by tucking the ball. If their argument is that tucking the ball isn't a valid football move, then I just hope they're consistent about it.

Al Michaels has been brutal all year. Thursday games are bad enough without him acting like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Okay I'm not complaining about the defense but can these guys wait like half a second more before diving at the other QBs feet? I can't even count how many times they've had an opposing QB dead to rights and dive too early letting him off the hook.

The defense is playing outstanding because... A lot of their injured players are back.

I hope he's got two of each.

***** Bobby Hart didn't even try to block on that pass. Luckily got it out quick.

Running into the kicker! Holy ***** they called the Pats for a soft one last week and just ignore them plowing into Martin this week?

How many times can people say a mistake is "uncharacteristic of a Bill Belichick coached team" before it's characteristic?

Pats really benefiting from these borderline calls.

Hell yeah Edmunds with the truck.

We absolutely love giving up TDs from midfield.

Garbage offensive interference call. Color me shocked.

Backups are backups because they're not as good at tackling.

Did you not watch Cooper and St. Brown carve us up in the middle of the field? That was a direct result of Edmunds being out of the lineup.

Textbook offensive PI on St. Brown. No call obviously

Coaches don't get fired for taking in the scenery and culture.

Maybe McDermott just needs to grow a mustache. I hear the refs love that "Andy Reid tickle"

Was that before or after the push-off? Maybe during? Hard to say.

"We have investigated ourselves and found no wrong-doing"

Combine that awful call with the intentional grounding non-call and the game is over. You guys needed two gifts from the refs to convert.

They were handed that game by the referees. Luckily that only works in a close game. They're not immune to bad games.

Look, I assume you've probably shoveled a good amount of snow in your life. So you know how exhausting it is. Players should not be dealing with that the day before a game regardless of their athletic abilities. It's not just about the physical exertion either. It's about the haphazard manner in which they had to travel to a game and how that affects their schedule and preparedness for the game.

Okay, let's disregard where the money comes from. My point is that the team was not prepared for an orderly departure if players needed to be shoveled out of their driveways by their neighbors.

Based on the reports of players and coaches being left to their own devices regarding snow removal and the stories of fans helping them out of their driveways, then yeah I'd say it's pretty safe to assume some players could have missed or delayed the flight.
