It was actually another idiot that blew the whistle, not that guy.

Wait, I thought Brady wilts when he gets hit hard. He was getting killed in the first half, hit hard over and over. 3 TDs and over 350 yards. So much for that theory.

As for Quin, Hernandez was running downfield and he was complaining to the refs. He actually let Hernandez run for a few extra yards because of his complaining.

Exactly. That ref was old, but the ref who insisted the fumble play was forward progress was at least a decade older than that guy. I remember yelling "senior moment!" at the TV.

My apologies to anyone offended.

That was awesome! Not that everyone doesn't already know it, but the Pats are Brady's team, and it really stands out watching this. He is the obvious leader. I can only imagine what it would be like listening to the Sanchize miked up.

The comparison would be like viewing a Rembrandt painting and then comparing it to a kindergartener's first attempt at art with a crayon.

Metaphors

The rules do prohibit driving through a defender who has established position (so you are technically correct) but I doubt officials want to start being in the business of calling "charges" on receivers. The NBA officials have the damnest time doing it now. Once you reward that behavior, defenders will become soccer players and start flopping around like they were shot by a cannon every time a receiver brushes by them.

The 2nd one was completely different in that Hernandez extended his arms and the "charge" became a "shove'...which is a no-brainer for officials to call. Don't mean to pee in your Cheerios but I think the "driving through a defender with position" rule is one of those situations they don't call unless the receiver goes out of his way to make contact or the contact is excessive. I didn't see either in the first route.

If my assessment the non-call is correct, I have to say that I totally agree with that decision by the refs. It would suck to see a line of 8-9 defenders lined up just in front of the first down line on 3rd down and falling down like dominoes as receivers ran by.

They didn't hesitate to call it against Troy Brown in the 2006 CG

I can't believe Suggs would say that to his own teammates huddling by the warmer. Let the guys in who are actually going to play on that field? What?
