ESPN's Clayton thinks Brady is best protected QB

[Sanchize]

That happens all the time. Holding, pass interference, etc. Every QB is guilty of trying to coax the ref a call. Either way, I highly doubt Brady's pleading had any impact on the refs thought process before he let the laundry fly (at least I'd like to think that.)

Yeah I know players beg for calls, but if you know it was a bad call after you look at it, just give the old no comment. I remember when Vinny Testaverde was given that touchdown against the Seahawks, when he was really down at the two, he just said no comment and kinda laughed.

The ref saw Suggs go for TB's knees. Thats a penalty. It's ticky-tack, but it's a penalty.

Had TB planted his foot and blown his knee, I highly doubt anyone will say its ticky tack. Because TB was about 1 sec early from that happening.

Did you see Trent Dilfers take on it on ESPN on Sunday Night. He didn't blame it on the Pats or Brady, but rather the NFL owners. He went into how the owners want the QB's protected for numerous reasons, that all come back to money. So the rules being instituted because of the owners wishes are ruining the game in a sense, because games are being affected by these calls in a fashion that they shouldn't be. He had some very valid points.

This was just like King mentioning the Clayton dropped pass five different times in five separate places in his MMQB. It was pretty obvious he was annoyed with the way the game ended.

So now Brady is a bad guy because he was honest, rather than saying "no comment"? Come on, isn't that a bit of a reach?

If Brady said no comment and smiled people would say "That arrogant bastard"! Allot of people find reasons to discredit and hate Brady. Child please is what that gets.

OMG, I try to bring up intelligent conversation and I still get attacked. I was asking for an opinion on what he said, which I thought made alot of sense. I can't stand when I'm watching a football game and I see roughing the passer calls, or roughing the kicker calls, or roughing the punters calls where defensive players are trying to make a play and have their momentum moving toward the player with the ball and it is physically impossible to stop and they get called for this bull**** penalty. I'll be the first to say the Jets have benefitted from this as well as every other team, and I know you won't believe it but I call it a bull**** call when the Jets get it. My point is that when a player is going to make a play, it is called for roughing far too often, when it is physically impossible to stop his momentum after trying to make a play

 

[Kontradiction]

LMAO. The Jets only fall one spot after an embarassing loss where their offense finally got exposed? This really has turned into J-E-T-SPN. Might as well just schedule them and the Vikings to play in the Super Bowl and give the rest of the teams the year off, according to the way ESPN talks about both of them.

I think the saddest part of this is that Tom Brady is yelling at the rough cause he wants a roughing the passer call. Then I'm listening to Sirius NFL radio and they play a clip of a Brady interview where he admits that Suggs hardly touched him. Not for nothin but beggin for a roughing call is sad, but then to go and even admit u were hardly touched after u did that.

The Matador doesn't get hit by the BULL either. It doesn't change the fact that the Bull was planning to gore him and just missed....:singing:
