Yeah that and several no calls on blatant intentional grounding by Rodgers did no favors.

Belichick damn well went full coronary today ... I was worried for him.

The moderation seemed to be very one-sided, especially in the first half.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Thought the same thing but seemed to me his elbow never hit the ground

Wrist, hand, even a little ball...I don't know the rule, is that a sack?

Hand is okay. The question is if the back of the wrist counts as arm or hand.

Hand is okay. The question is if the back of the wrist counts as arm or hand.

From NFL Website : If, after contact by an opponent, any part of a runner’s leg above the ankle or any part of his arm above the wrist touches the ground, the runner is down.

Where did his forearm hit the ground. I saw his hand come down and then he kept himself up with the back of his hand holding the football. Maybe the wrist touched, but that's not the forearm.

So the rule is "above the wrist" I did not know that. I thought wrist not being part of the hand would count as down.
In this play it's hard to see if it's all wrist or wrist and forearm.

But it's a good time to bring up the clear and obvious bias of that wretched Ref crew. The head Ref didn't know what the heck he was doing. There were so many stupid calls, and missed calls and every one of those went against the Pats. Could anyone find a bad or debatable call that went against the Packers?? The horsecollar was horsesh*t! There was a holding call on 3 of Pats good returns (and the TV replay didn't show any of them). There were 2 missed obvious helmet contact on Pats players - one being on Zappe - that would have been called for any other QB. Green Bay is a notorious place for biased refs, and that's what BB's lips were saying on the sideline, I read them at least once clearly screaming that to the side judge.

?
What it isn't is "forearm"

Well, they did gift the Pats a TD by not calling the second delay of game penalty.

I forgot to mention that. It was another blatantly mishandled moment by the officiating crew. The play clock didn't reset when the refs whistled the first delay. That was a playclock error, and NO ONE - even the idiots in the booth realized it. The refs were discussing it during the break, but the clear anti-Patriot media was never going to mention what obviously happened. The reason the ref didn't call that one is because they knew they didn't reset the clock after their announcement of the penalty. But they'll let the whole world think the Pats got away with something.

I don't see the forearm go down. No sack.

probably not a sack, but definitely an Intentional Grounding - not called because he's golden boy Rogers.

In this play it's hard to see if it's all wrist or wrist and forearm.

It's really easy for your wrist to touch the ground, whereas it's really hard for your forearm to touch the ground without your elbow touching as well. So it makes sense that above the wrist would be considered down and not the wrist itself.

That was a clear intentional grounding and could've lead to the Patriots winning the game in regulation

One of my favorite moments is when they threw a flag on the Patriots for downfield blocking. Ref had to be informed it's legal one yard off the LOS.

I liked the after-the-play personal foul that they announced against the Patriots before realizing that that number didn't correspond to anyone on the team.
