It's easy, and only takes a few moments.McDaniels woulda been ripped to shreds here if they passed it and failed.not to mention the brutal play calling on the Pats last possession. 3 terrible running plays when all you needed was to trust in Tom to throw for a first down, and run out the clock. The way the D was getting shredded on the running game, it was a terrible decision to give the Jets the ball back with a chance to win it with a field goal
Why not both?Be upset at the Patriots' brain trust for not throwing the red flag.
I disagree. They only needed to stop the Jets passing game. If the Jets ran, the clock would run down on them. I like the offensive play calling, but I would have liked a tighter defense.

Then the announcers are morons, because no challenges are allowed, by rule, during the final two minutes of a half. [And, BTW, throwing the challenge flag when you're not allowed to is a 15-yard penalty.]
Exactly right. The officials blew that one (surprise, surprise) not the coaching staff.
Inbounds Spot
Article 3 The Inbounds Spot is a spot 70 feet 9 inches in from the sideline on the yard line passing through the spot where the ball or a runner is out of bounds between the goal lines.
Under certain conditions, the ball is dead in a side zone or has been placed there as a result of a penalty. See 7-6-2.
Note: Ordinarily the out-of-bounds spot is the spot where the ball crossed a sideline. However, if a ball, while still within a boundary line, is declared out of bounds because of touching anything that is out of bounds, the out-of-bounds spot is on the yard through the spot of the ball at the instant of such touching.
.Ruling: Not out of bounds. The runner is not out of bounds until he touches anything other than a player, an official, or a pylon on or outside the boundary line. Position of the ball is determined by its position when the runner touches out of bounds.

perhaps, but if the Jets had made that field goal, he should be ripped to shreds for giving them the chance.
Tonight, we have a catch made out of bounds with no ball control, no 'football move', yet that doesn't get so much as a review. Why?
i was amazed the booth didn't elect to look at that "catch" - the ball was clearly moving with a foot out of bounds.....he did not secure that ball in bounds, wasn't even close
Why not both?
The officiating shouldn't be so terrible that this is an issue.
The officials simply have to apply the rules. The Patriots' booth has to weigh far more than just the correctness of a call. I'm guessing challenging spots has a pretty poor return.Refs = real time human error.
Pats booth = 20+ seconds to review on video something from 3 angles. The Jets did not hurry up to the line for the next snap.
Very different level of blame there.
