Peter King and the Refs call at the end of the game

[Grogan's neck roll]

OK then, what happens when the refs finds out after the fact that it wasn't the head coach calling the time out? Shouldn't that be a penalty, in which case the Pats would have had a first down?
Wow, I stand corrected from another thread (I'll have to go search for it). For some reason, as I watched the game, I thought it was 4th down, perhaps I hadn't realized the prior penalty had given them a first down. Seriously, as that play was being reviewed, I was thinking, "OK this is it. If it gets overturned (which I thought it would), the game is over!" But in fact we had three more shots.

And the 3 shots would have been at the 2 yard line because of the two unsportsmanlike penalties (1/2 the distance from the 8, then 1/2 the distance from the 4).

"I've had five people at Starbucks and my gym this morning asking about last night's controversial 27-24 Pats' win, and I've just talked to people in the know about the officials' key decisions in last night's game."


Yeah right Petey... You want us to believe you were actually at the gym??

Tell it like it is, Brother!!!!!

King has I long way to go before I'll defend him again. The slimey little 2-faced weasel!

Would it have been 1st or 2nd down? In other words, were they "post-play" penalties?
