4th and 7 give up a running first to the qb lmao

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Wowwww what a call there

 

[Patriot Missile]

Dont worry about the hold 73

 

[PatsfanTN]

Ryan runs for 7 yards. Lol.

That's the thing though, there's no play in football that doesn't go by without a technically correct penalty. I don't think the officials do this out of malice or anything, and I think anyone who thinks they're out to get the Patriots is ridiculous, but every single team's fan can point to N plays every week where a penalty or lack thereof made all the difference. It's just not a good game.

My curiosity would be if there’s any guidance by the NFL to the referees as to at what level an infraction needs to be before it should be flagged. You can find a reason to flag any play, so there should be some kind of standard as to “how bad does it have to be to be a penalty?”

My guess is there’s no standard.

two holds on O and hands to the face on that 4th down...

 

[sambam94]

holding,,,,

 

[BradyFTW!]

Our linebackers make Matt Ryan look mobile

 

[VegasGuy]

Seriously?

 

[PatriotReign]

DAMNIT!!!

 

[Run DMC]

I take back my previous comment. 4th and 7 against the Pats D. Why the hell not go for it?

 

[mosslost]

Should have called time out when they started to go for it

 

[festy1986]

Lol

 

[TomPatriot]

Can’t Marsh contain? Come on.

 

[UFGatorPat]

That is holding. How can you let that go

 

[ANGR89]

Wow that's all I can say

 

[sambam94]

crazy going for it...

 

[primetime]

I don't care that they don't call it, because whatever, it's a total ****ing mystery how offensive holding is penalized, but there were at least two Patriots held on that Ryan scramble.

 

[patfanken]

Tell me that the hold on Marsh on the 4th down play was more egregious than the hold on Solder and a no call
