Week 1 was an ugly mess. I dont think I'd watch that either.
Brady was like 1-10 to start off. I was so pissed.Yeah that game was brutal. Talk about doing JUST enough to win. Maroney was really good though.

There was no break. A block in the back penalty is from the spot of the foul. The announcers were wrong, they blew the whistle because the return was over after the penalty not because he went out of bounds. If he's returned it for a TD with no whistle the ball would have been at the same place - 10 yards back from the spot of the foul.I forgot about the huge break we got when the 4th quarter pick runback by the Bills was ruled out of bounds when it clearly was not. That could have very well made the difference.

In that case the whistle would have been an accidental whistle. A play is never whistled dead in mid play because of a penalty (ok, ok, except when an defender is offsides and is unabated to the quarterback). It is my feeling that the refs flat out blew it and did rule him out of bounds. THey woudln't do it for the penalty because they let the play run out and let the Pats decide whether to accept or decline.
Whether the whistle should have been blown is irrelevant, the Bills would still have gotten the ball where they did. It had no impact on the game.In that case the whistle would have been an accidental whistle.

Even if they did rule him out of bounds it wouldn't have mattered. Even if they did return it for a TD the Patirots would have accepted the penalty and the ball would have been put in the same place, so the semantics don't really matter.
