THE SHIN??????????????

First time I’ve heard that too. The “shin” is the new “face guarding”.

 

[Bourne Patriot]

refs missing obvious calls on Pitt then getting a microscope out to find anything to call on the Pats

 

[UFGatorPat]

7 points against Pittsburg and defense giving up a million per play. Awesome

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Only because we get the ball after half will I let that conservative s*** slide.

 

[Gronkowski123]

At least we got the ball to start the second half.

Three and out to start the half

 

[PatsfanTN]

Wait. How are we down only seven?

 

[sb1]

Punt is the right call. Run gets stopped and it’s easily a 2 score game.

 

[VectorPrime]

Somehow only gave up 14 points.

 

[Keyser Söze]

All our 3rd down routes short of the damn marker? Good god.

 

[stcjones]

Odds Pitt scores now? Long penalty?

Watch out for the triple lateral hook and ladder play!!!

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Adjust at the half, go get them.

D was mostly awful and we only gave up 14. There is hope.

 

[fnordcircle]

Thank our lucky stars we're only down by 7.

 

[Hyped]

Good effort by Patterson and punting it was the right play.

We have to playA LOT better in the 2nd half....

 

[UFGatorPat]

Brady gronk edelman..
All stinking it up

Tom has been fine under immense pressure. Coaching and Jules doing no favors

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Just dont get our inability to exploit that secondary. Massive failure offensively. If this was week 2 okay but no excuse to be dropping balls , commmitting back breaking penalties, and Patterson being the only reliable 3rd down target.

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

So many missed opportunities. Even 3 there would have been lovely.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

Can anyone pull up the actual rules that say the shin counts as down?

The rule doesn't exist because the refs made it up because Goodell or something.

Seriously guys. It's a bad look to complain about that one. 100% the right call

 

[festy1986]

I knew it would comeback... the shin ford count

Except the shin never touched him​

That's not how it works man lol

Even if so, he was beyond the first down market before he hit the ground.

No one touched him until after he fell behind the marker and he never went down after the contact from the first defensive player until AFTER the marker.

Crazy fix stuff there and I have no time for it.

 

[PatriotReign]

This is the saddest team we've fielded since 2000. What really hurts is that Brady's running out of time and they didn't do any better.

 

[Kontradiction]

There was hardly a guarantee we get points there..I like punting

And if you don’t get it, your putting a defensive unit that has been extremely fortunate to hold Pittsburgh to 14 in a tough spot with them taking over on the 40-39 yard line in New England territory. Punting was the right call.
