Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 30 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: Wait your calling the perfectly legal block by Brady a “cut block” nope that wasn’t a cut block not even close. Please review the definition of cut block and look again. Also please review what makes a cut block legal or illegal; it is legal for an offensive player to use provided it's not otherwise illegal (blindside) and the blocked player is not otherwise engaged. I'm not saying that it was illegal. That looked like a cut block to me. A legal cut block, and effective because Tre Day was not expecting Brady to be engaged as a blocker. Possibly one might be able to understand that we view it as somewhat underhanded for that reason; if Tre Day had assumed Brady was running downfield to block and flattened him, penalties might have accrued?

More than once a player zigged instead of zagged and he got the call because the guy was nowhere close. I hate those calls.. Ok, well Brady is lucky but everyone else in the league just gets called on that. Intentional grounding is the easiest call the officials can make.

Gordio Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 18 minutes ago, PatsFanNH said: Complaining gives ya something to do but gets you nowhere! Write that down.. (lol a Van Wilder quote) the Facemask was a bad miss but i do believe been the 15 not the 5 yard line. I didn’t see Brady try trip anyone especially since he rarely was hit so.. I missed that. Allen had 3 or 4 groundings not called, sad thing is I think it was a mess up with the WR all 4 times. Gilmore played amazing but Brown still got his big play in.. the hands thing people need to let go he is an elite CB like White they get away with more. There are different rules for Brady. You know it & I know it. He should of been called for at least 3 intentional groundings. The attempted trip on Oliver is on YouTube. It was a bush league play by a bush league player. Brady's time is over & NE's dominance is over also even though they will be 13-3 this year. This is the closest any AFC East has been to them in more than a decade. The Bills are close but they are just not quite there yet. The Bill's roster from top to bottom is better than NE's & more importantly they are much younger. They just need to learn how to close games out a bit better. With 90 million in cap room, a full slate of draft picks & owner that is willing to spend with the big boys, as long as Allen keeps trending upward will be the favorite to win the AFC East next year. & all the Masshole fans could cry in their Sam Adams & Chowder as the Razor will be half filled in the upcoming years. It is going to be a lot of fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Happless I thought “cut blocks” were illegal and what he did was just go low.. learn something new every day. well as I mentioned Superstars get special treatment, and while Brady is in the twilight he is a face of the NFL so probably a good chance a flag is thrown if he lit Brady up. Mind you I think everyone was shocked he threw a block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That intentional grounding needs to be revised in the offseason IMO. Brady is the master at it, but it is really permeating through other QBs. It is pretty clear when a QB is between the tackles and 'turfs' the ball intentionally with no intention of completing a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 1 hour ago, DieHardBillsFan said: Really happy for the amount of offensive pass interference that game, and the flag landing right infront of Edelman's face made me laugh for about 10 minutes. Might have been a decently ref'd game considering it was in NE except for the Allen sacked when they were pushing him down further after the play with no call and the face mask at the end could have been a game breaker. I can’t believe they called it at all against the Pats***. No team in the league comes close to running the number of illegal pick plays that they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 39 minutes ago, May Day 10 said: It was a smart move and an attempt to gain sympathy and/or sell it as a 'mistake'. The Patriots do the pick all the time and dare referees to call it. If the call is blown, a TD there means the end of the game and the Pats cruise to a victory. What annoys me is the 'all american', 'do everything the right way' mantra that gets levied on the Patriots all the time by the media. BS. Edelman is the most HGH hopped up, Oxycontin-fueled mess of a person, and he wont live to see his mid-50s. Who knows how Brady transformed from a pudgy reject from Michigan into this ESP-possessing QB (and apparently the only one who has discovered watching film which explains away the uncanny ability to "guess" correctly 98% of the time). the media always rides the winning horse, they change their views constantly during a game depending on momentum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the big picture that dude has taken an absolute beating in the slot over his career. If you want to win it helps a lot of have a filthy mutt like that committed to your organization. When he gets off the juice post-career I expect he's going to unravel and be in pretty rough shape. Truly something to look forward to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I'm still amazed they threw a flag on that play. NE has been getting away with illegal picks forever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand your sentiment.

FLFan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 2 hours ago, TigerJ said: All over the NFL, players are always playing just over the edge, doing things that are against the rules, but that are usually overlooked. It's been said that every offensive line holds on every play. It's true that Edelman is one who often does thing and gets away with it, but his concussion ploy did not distract officials from the offensive pass interference as he hopped, and as the article points out, he missed a quarter of the game with the mandatory examination by an independent neurologist to rule out a concussion. If the league fines him, so much the better, but he did pay a price for his ploy in any case. All true, but none of that makes him any less a POS. That is what he has always been and will always be.

TigerJ Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 2 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Just feels like he’s making a mockery of it and using time and resources of the doctors during a game for his own selfish cheating jollies Sure he is. The doctors, I'm sure, are retained by the league, so this would only be an issue is multiple players were concussed and the doctor(s) were spread a little thin. Maybe somebody doesn't get the attention he really needs because Edelman faked it, but the odds of that happening aren't real great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
