Hi all, I was in Herrenberg Germany watching the Pats Indy game on a slingbox with poor bandwidth so picture quality and tivo control problems limited my ability to analyse play by play action.
Now that I have returned to the US and have the game on a HD Tivo I was reviewing the Troy Brown offensive pass interference call. I thought pass interference was only when the ball is in the air, Troy made contact with the DB about 3 yards from the line of scrimmage and was separated from the DB before Brady threw it to Watson. In fact the DB moves laterally to disrupt Troy's route which is OK within 5 yards, but the DB initiated the contact and Troy’s response pushed the DB backwards.
I posted a regular speed video with Simms audio totally supporting the call, and a second one in slow motion.
Am I missing something on the rules about PI?
I still think we had more than enough opportunities to win the game but I think this is the decisive play of the game. Troy was fine, just bad luck it was his play.
