Here is White's awesome blitz pickup on Timmons that set Hogan's TD up..Indeed, but some things came out quite well even on the boob tube:
Ref: My favourite image from last night. • /r/Patriots
I know the play you are talking about and you are right, it was on Brady. He missed the open man. However they threw a screen to Hogan on the GL later in the game that went right through Hogan's hands. It was too bad, since it looked like it was set up well, and we had to settle for a FG.
Not only that, but I my team played Wesleyan every year. At one point I thought there might have been a chance that I might have played BB since I was a senior when he was a freshman, but I forgot he did a post grad year at Andover (where he met Ernie Adams)Hmmmm.... I always wondered how Ken's posts could be so insightful about the Patriots.....now we find out that he played lacross in college just like BB did..... Perhaps BB is posting under a pseudonym?
The thing is, the refs said the Pats recovered it, so I don't know how they could have thought 1) that the original ruling was Steelers' ball; and 2) that the replay didn't show that Brady was down, and it appeared he and/or another Pats player actually recovered the fumble in the first instance. The replay did not show a Steeler with the ball at any time (unless you saw a different one on tv).
Yep, there's plenty of other stadiums around the league that get loud for each and every game. No reason why ours can't be one of them.
I think the design of gillette doesn't allow it to be as loud as the old sullivan stadium or safeco field in seattle. Safeco is supposedly the loudest in the nfl, the sides, the seating of the stadium are more vertical than gillette which is more open. The crowd in seattle is closer to the field and the sound of the crowd is trapped more than the gillette design. So i think its the accoustics that affect how loud the crowd at gillette are. I remember watching playoff games at the old stadium, it sounded like some wild beast howling, it was deafning.
I didnt hear it but later in the game my wife told me Nantz actually said "my bad" about what he said about that play. Something about he was saying what Tomlin was
Nance & Sims were probably confused because in an effort to convince themselves and the refs that it was a fumble, the Steelers sent their offense out onto the field (and the Pats kept theirs on the field, so both Os were out there at the same time). Nice try, Mikey.
The red seat folks have been awesome this year's playoffs. Outside and seemingly loud all game (other than halftime) even in the crap weather.
The apology was because the audio of the "clear recovery" came from Tomlin himself when he standing next to the miked up ref. Nance and Sims originally thought an official had spoken that line.
