It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Even moreso, the year after (they waited 12 months to let emotions calm down) they did re-examine the "tuck rule" and specifically decided to keep it as is. Not considering a change would be one thing, but they specifically considered whether this should stay as the rule and they decided "yes".Let the record show that for all the complaining from Oakland about the tuck rule and how horrible of a rule it is, there has been no motion whatsoever to eliminate or alter the rule as it stands.
Amen, brother. The thing a lot of Raiders fans fail to realize is that the rule exists so that referees do not have to try and guess a QB's intent. The motion of the arm determines a forward pass, not what the QB was intending to do. I'll be the first to admit Brady wasn't passing the ball on that play, but the rules do not want referees to have to guess intent - and I prefer it that way.Even moreso, the year after (they waited 12 months to let emotions calm down) they did re-examine the "tuck rule" and specifically decided to keep it as is.

I watch that game before every postseason. What a classic.
384... is right, the Raiders could have won that game by making any number of plays down the stretch, including 3rd and 6 inches that they couldn't convert after a 2nd and 2 with about 2 30 left. They could have taken the clock all the way down to about 20 seconds.
The beginning of the happiest era of my football loving life.
I can't believe the time has gone by so fast.
Shame on none of you recognizing who was the TRUE Hero/MVP of this game.
It was LARRY IZZO - He made 2 game saving fumble recoveries both of which were off punts I believe.
One fumble by Troy Brown and the other I don't know..What I do know is Larry recovered a kick deep inside Patriots territory and another inside of the 50 again...One if not Both of those plays could have resulted in an easy score by the Raiders.
You are referring to me. Right?
If you are, then for future reference my screen name is easy to remember if you know the Roman number assigned to each Superbowl the Pats have won.
SB36 over Rams
SB38 over Panthers
SB39 over Eagles.
Just trying to be helpful.
I watched it again this afternoon (4:00) and every time I see it I see more and more that I've missed any one of the 2000 times I've previously watched.
