Except that the D-linemen DID enter the neutral zone. That is why Vollmer moved.
And yes, there is a penalty that can be called. I forget what the exact wording is but I can remember that Vrabel was called for it a few times over his career as a Patriot.
The funniest of all was Childress challenging Tates catch.
It seemed to me that he thought because Tate didnt retain possession like a sideline catch, that it wasnt a reception.
Im like, WTF is he challenging?
It's a neutral zone infraction and is a 5 yard penalty
The illegal contact on the Favre hit was also pathetic. I guess the refs are just pre-programmed to throw a flag if Favre/Manning throws and incompletion.........................
You forgot about the one where Jerod Mayo and Adrian Peterson met at the goal line and Mayo STOPPED him short. The football did NOT cross the line at all! BB even challenged it, and yet it wasn't overturned.

Hey, Great W, but anyone else not happy with a few calls last night ? I saw a few weird non calls, at critical times in the game, biggest one being the PI on Welker which was not given in the 4th Q. Even Troy Aikmen laughed and coudnt believe it wasn't thrown. Another missed call was that fumble, which Mayo recovered, tv clearly showed the Reciever caught the ball turned took about two steps and was hit before he fumbled. That play BB wanted to throw the red flag on, but reliazed he coudnt challenge and than called timeout. Just wanted your opinions even though we won which sometimes hides the poor refereeing. Great win against a very good team. Take care all. Abdul
Think it's called "Encroachment"...
I really do think that the AP TD was just a make up call for missing it the first time around and that if it was even remotely close to a TD they were going to give it to him.
...On thing that bugged me was the Mayo non fumble recovery. the booth guys said that even if they challenged it thay could give possetion to the pats. I get that might be the rule but that is stupid all they ahd to do was say he has posstion then fumbled it recovered by the patriots it has jsut bugged me
