This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
It was borderline and probably shouldn't be called that close to the end of the game. That said, the borderline ones usually go against the Pats. I think the intentional grounding called against Campbell was much worse.

interference is interference.....that was DPI in the first quarter, it was DPI on the last play of the game
"Actions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiver’s opportunity to make the catch.
(b) Playing through the back of a receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.
(c) Grabbing a receiver’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.
(d) Extending an arm across the body of a receiver thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, regardless of whether the defender is playing the ball.
(e) Cutting off the path of a receiver by making contact with him without playing the ball.
(f) Hooking a receiver in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the receiver’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving. "
i don't see anything about "except late in the 4th quarter in a close game"
That pass interference ruined what would of been an epic comeback. Instead it's just a tainted victory. No way in hell should that ever be called at the end of a game like that
You're either a Browns fan or you're blind. The Browns DB grabbed his shoulder and jersey. There's no guarantee he makes that catch but that grab impedes the receiver's progress and his ability to get to the ball. Watch the play in slow motion. It' s not as obvious as the Gronk missed penalty, but it's still there and definitely calleable by the rulebook.
It went 9 yards, but it bounced off the Browns player who dived for the ball so at that point it becomes live and fair game. CRAZY, CRAZY comeback win! Love it! I need a drink now! LOL

That wasn't borderline. This "shouldn't be called" attitude is precisely what's been plaguing the referees this season. It's all about consistency. Interference is interference and should be called at all junctures of the game.

I've been a pats fan since 96 and that was a bull**** call and you know it. If it was called the other way you would be livid. I instantly lost all excitement I had for this game when I saw the refs gift the game to us.

Sure it did, maybe not for homers like you guys who don't mind the refs gifting a team the ball at the 1 for minimal contact. Contact that was being allowed by the refs all game and only called in the most pivotal of moments with a ref that obviously got caught up in the game.
If you could take off your homer glasses for a moment you would see how terrible of a call that was. Almost makes me want to stop watching football as there have been far too many of these happening throughout the league. Watch 4 hours of football and then have the refs choose a winner at the very end... It's getting old
