Stop!!!!!, They couldn't manage 2 yards on 2 plays and the D sat out the 4th.

I hate those ticky tack penalties. I'm glad they didn't call it.

That isn't true at all. The guy came up the middle and the front of his helmet hit the front of Brady's. Perhaps you're thinking of a different play because the non-Pats fans in the room with me agreed that it was a clear helmet-to-helmet hit.

The one I saw I believe was a 3rd down play where an outside rusher got to Brady's arm, forcing an errant pass. The problem was that everyone was focusing on that guy and no one was looking at the guy who came in up the middle.

What's frustrating is that they did get the two yards. The Pats lost a game due to poor use of timeouts, awful handling of the final series (the call on 3rd was sheer idiocy if they intended to go for it on 4th), a defense which couldn't get a stop at the end, and multiple screw-ups by refs. It makes no sense to point out the first three but leave out the fourth.

One of the two I saw was when Brady threw to his right to Stanbeck (? #9) and the DE hit him in the facemask with his helmet. He was throwing to his right and it was caught along the sideline near the two. Sadly, I think this may have been right before Maroney fumbled the ball away.

Agreed. *Ridiculous* that Chung was fined for the same thing.

the only call i was upset about was the BS PI one late in the game.

When I saw it I was not outraged and actually thought it might be the start of calling this penalty rationally. If it is not called like that consistantly fine by me. It just seemed odd that he was getting hit and there was no flag or even a discussion about it by the commentators. Where last week it was a penalty and a fine.

And we talked about PI not being reviewable last week. If it had happened against the Colts instead of us last night, Polian would have a rule changed next year fer sure.

Anyone got a video of this? I would like to see it.

I know I was certianly yelling for a flag on this play.

It was in the fourth quarter, the play where a Colts defender (not the one providing the late hit) made Brady fumble. Another player on the Colts charged through the middle and made clear helmet-to-helmet contact.

DEFINITELY worthy of a flag.

This has qualified as a penalty in many other situations. It doesn't count against the Colts because the refs avoid antagonizing Polian, who makes a practice of filing a complaint with the league about every iffy penalty called against his team. He has bragged about this on his radio show, and sees it as part of his job.
