Sometimes you get the bounce or the call, and sometimes you don't, but way too much is being made out of calling Brady out personally. Consider that he'd definitely have been at least a 4x SB winner if the following doesn't happen:
--there is no helmet catch, or Rodney makes the play
--holding is called and the ref admittedly doesn't "start to blow his whistle" when the ball is coming out
--Eli is called for being in the grasp, just as the ref admitted when he claimed that he started to blow the whistle
--any one of our 3 failed/dropped INTs don't occur from Meriweather, Harrison, or Samuel in the final quarter
--Welker holds onto the ball in the 2nd matchup
--Manningham doesn't choose to wear shoes that he claimed were 1/2 inch too small for whatever reason that day, as he obviously would've been out of bounds on the crucial sideline catch on 3rd and long
--the Giants don't fumble the ball FOUR times and recover every single one of them
--Gronkowski doesn't miss the last 3 postseasons due to 3 separate injuries
--Talib doesn't get hurt in the first 1/4 in back to back AFCCGs
The holding, which included a Giant's lineman actually grabbing a facemask, still haunts me til this day. I don't know how you can call 58 minutes of a game one way and then throw the rules out for the last 2 minutes. It's ridiculous.
