Yeah, it’s too bad they aren’t as classy as the rest of us. Like the time Tom Brady had his knee destroyed by Bernard Pollard and everybody outside of NE LOVED it.

Bernard's hit on Brady wasn't dirty and wasn't even a flag at the time. It was a legal football play

Just like the Tuck Rule...

Or the time the Colts got the PI rules changed  because their pillow soft offense couldn't beat NE to the Titans...

Biggest b.s rule. The NFL literally made that up on the spot, and then officially made it a rule the next year to justify that horrible call lol

How many posts were there and were they talking about it happening well after a play?

 

 

Payback.

and you said 'doubtful at best' about bills fans wanting to hurt Patriot players.

Of course. If NE does it... Ban it...Change the rules...Suspend everyone 

Other teams do it? ...Ignore it...Pretend it never happened...Encourage it

Um cite me another time a player pulled a Gronk and head hunted a prone player after the whistle. Your sentiment is we "Ignore it...Pretend it never happened...Encourage it"? lol

For the record, the NFL waited for Al Davis to pass away before changing the rule.

Brady fumbled against the Raiders and had his knee destroyed in a legal, but unfortunate play.

I looked, and the first half dozen or so comment in both threads actually look pretty restrained for Pats fans. I was kind of disappointed in fact. I expected some of the "Gronk should have whipped it out an pee'd on him" stuff ...

Bahahaaa

My guess is you were probably about 10 in 01 and really didn't follow football.

Tuck rule had been around well before 01.

The rule goes back to the mid-90's.  But it was never meant to be used in that situation.

What situation was it meant for. It was called against the pats earlier in the srason on a Testeverde fumble. I think most Pats fans watching new it was going to be the tuck rule.

My mistake, I didn't know it was a rule. Either way you slice it, what an awful rule/call. Any one with common sense knew that it was a blatant fumble

[PromoTheRobot]

My boss who is a Pats season ticket holder said Gronk should have been thrown out and suspended longer. Then another buddy called my disgust over the hit "sour grapes." 

[Captain Hindsight]

Leaving the Pats* game last week, a Pats* fan was arguing with a Bills fan and the Pats* fan said "We've won 6 Super Bowls, f*** off." 

 

I yelled back "Wikipedia knows more about your team than you do"

 

Not exactly the brightest bunch

The rule stems from a game between the Cowboys and (I think) Redskins where Troy Aikman was throwing the ball and at the top of this throwing motion hit the back of his lineman's helmet and the ball came out.  The zebras had no idea what to rule.  So they created the "tuck" rule.  But it wasn't meant to say that a QB is still in the act of throwing the ball when it's down near his mid-section, like it was when Brady fumbled. 

 

As for it being called earlier in the year against the Cheaters, do you have a clip of the play?

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.

But they shouldn't of had to.  IMO, the tuck rule was incorrect on that play.  Brady brought his arm back down, then was hit and fumbled.  The Raiders should have been in that SB.

be more wrong.

 

funny how people forget the same call went against the Pats vs the Jets that very season.  bad rule, yes...but the call was made to the letter of the law.  deal with it.

 

its hilarious how much you all are a bunch of pathetic cry babies.  especially with all the "someone please take out Brady" talk you were spouting off before the game.

The tuck rule is a good rule when applied properly.  But do you see the difference between the Testaverde play and the Brady play?  Testaverde was actually in the act of passing the ball and the ball was at the top of his throwing motion.  On Brady's play the ball was at his shoulder and his was not moving forward even though Coleman claimed it was.
