Default Anyone else surprised the Chargers did not challenge the KFaulk catch?

Quote:
3-11-NE 24 (7:16) (Shotgun) 12-T.Brady pass short right to 33-K.Faulk to NE 35 for 11 yards (42-C.Hart).
Anyone else surprised that the Chargers did NOT challenge the huge Kevin Faulk catch on 3rd and 11 in the fourth quarter. I was begging for the Pats to get the snap off quickly because I thought there was room for the refs to overturn the call.

If they overturned the Santonio Holmes catch in the JAX-PIT game towards the end of the first half, I think that the Kevin Faulk catch would have been ruled incomplete as well.

I'm glad the Chargers gave us a free pass on what was a game changing catch.

was a clean catch and they needed their timeouts. Faulks two 3rd down catches were they key to closing the 9:13 game clinching drive

Yes. Horrible decision. They called a timeout immediately after. Just not good.

I'm more suprised that the Bolts (fans and players) aren't raising a stink over the Vrable leg whip non-call that led to an INT.

there were multiple replays and the catch looked good, certainly not enough evidence to overturn.

I was a bit surprised...yes..especially since it would have meant a NE punt..I think a challenge would have been worth it at that point...might have GIVEN them somewhat of a chance..

They replayed the catch quite frequently over the Jumbotron and every time you can clearly see Faulks hand was under the ball.

It was a smart no challenge.

That was easily the worst (non)call of yesterday that I saw. Tripping is also a penalty, separate from leg whip. Whatever you want to call it, it probably should've been called. Not that I"m complaining or anything.

There were a lot of miscalls on both sides, like the Chambers OOB catch, and a Jackson 3rd down catch that his elbow landed OOB but still ruled a completion.
