Peyton whining again

[Wolfpack]

So the definition of luck is the correct interpretation of a rule, a rule called numerous times that 2001 seaon, including AGAINST the Pats in game 2, a call that cost them the game?

Does anyone here actually FOLLOW football?

Dude, relax. I'm the first one to say it was the right call, but that don't mean the Patriots weren't lucky in having the right call made, or if that hit came a split second later then Brady would possibly still have fumbled despite having had the ball "tucked" away - or even if he didn't fumble, the clock would have kept running and maybe that incredible FG never gets attempted. And fact is not many people would have criticized Coleman if he looked at the replay and said it was inconclusive.

How many people are going to turn out when it's Earthwind Moreland defending Freddie Mitchell who has Billy Joe Hobert throwing to him?

Just as many. NFL fans are loyal to logos and laundry, and that's why it is the most successful league in the country.

I agree with much of that excepting that by the rules it was a Tuck. Coleman had no choice when reviewing the play. That's precisely what the rule intended to do, remove subjective judgement by the ref. Yes, a second of so later with other motions by Brady it probably would have been a fumble. Note that the rule was reviewed post season and left as was.

The hands to the face (helmet) hit on Brady went ignored. That is a penalty but not subject to review.
